To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- Models Prefer All-In-One BB Cream

It took some time for me to jump on the BB cream band wagon. It's been such a huge phenomenon in the beauty world. Finding a decent one can be hard, especially in the Western world, where most BB creams should really be called tinted moisturisers. This hasn't stopped my search, I just love trying different brands of BB creams.

Priceline's own brand, Models Prefer has pleasantly surprised me with their quality of products. It was only natural that I would want to try the BB cream. I purchased the All-In-One formula in Light.
The formula has been designed to refine pores, even out complexion, add hydration to skin, controls oil with an SPF protection. The all-in-one concept means that you can prime, conceal, hydrate and protect skin. 
The product is packaged in a 30 ml squeeze tube. The consistency of the cream is quite thick, typical of decent BB creams. It quickly warms with the skin making it easy to smooth over the face.
Would I repurchase? I wasn't disappointed with Models Prefer All-In-One, I just wasn't impressed by it. I found that worn on its own, it seemed to slide on my face, it actually felt a little oily on my skin. My preferred way of using this product was as a primer under foundation. Being lighter than my skintone, it evened out my pigmented skin and reduced the look of my dark circles, eliminating the need for a concealer.  But, now that I have finished my tube, I think I will continue shopping around :)

      Thanks Mich. Yeah, I'm trying to use up a couple more before buying another. My fave at the moment is Garnier BB cream for combination/oily skin. Best one that I've tried so far :)

    I've been searching for ages for a BB cream to suit me. Everything I've tried has turned orange on me. Not a good look! There was a really good article on Beautyheaven today, and I've come across a few more to try. So I'll keep searching!

      It can be a lot of trial and error There's still a few that I want to try. The BB creams that I'm not keen on, I just use them as primers, lol :)

    Oh no, I tried this one too and I thought it was terrible! However, I am in love with the Models Prefer BB cream WITH AQUAFLEX (it's found in their skincare section) and I promise you it's amazing.

    It was made in Korea (indication that it's closer to the Asian BB creams?) and has a thinner consistency that spreads nicely, providing light-medium coverage. It covers all weird skin pigmentation and just makes me look more awake and bright in the mornings. I adore it!

    Check out the reviews on beautyheaven, mine's there too :)

    Thanks for the review! But I think I will give it a miss. I tend to be an all-or-nothing kind of girl. So I either wear foundation, makeup the whole lot or I go around completely bare-faced.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
