Carla Oates Dream Repair Serum

Carla Oates has dedicated 10 years of research into the benefits of natural and fermented ingredients for the skin's appearance. They're good for the inside. so would be a positive thing to apply to the skin, too. This led to her release of Carla Oates Beauty.

 The Dream Repair Serum is a product I bought from TVSN. I won't list the 15 oils and 3 botanical extracts, but they are expertly formulated to leave your skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. It provides the skin with a high level of antioxidants to rejuvenate the skin during sleep. Certainly sounded good to me!

Typical of an oil treatment serum, the product comes in a bottle with dropper, my preferred dispensing method. The bottle contains 25ml of product.

The consistency of this golden oil is well, of oil. Similar to most other facial oils that I have used in the past, but I find that this one, once smoothed over the face and neck, seems to absorb rather quickly. 

 From experience, I just apply a few drops to face and neck, and any remaining gets applied to my often neglected hands. 

 It has a rather fresh scent, with a lovely citrus note.

As much as I love rosehip oil, I really appreciate that Carla Oates' oil has been crafted with so many more ingredients that are beneficial for my skin. I found it wonderful during the winter months, when my skin is drier, but it is not too much for my skin as the weather warms up. 

 I apply at night, it's the last step of my skincare routine, and know that I will wake up with hydrated skin. It also helps to reduce the redness of any break-outs that I have been "lucky" to get, healing them faster. I also apply around my delicate eye area without any adverse reactions, which offers hydration to one of the driest parts of my face.

 Do you like using an oil on your skin? What's your fave? :)

    Oh I love facial oils Indie. RHOs are always a winner in my book.
    I've often watched Carla on TVSN and find her so fascinating. Her powders have been on my wish list for ages! This oil sounds so lovely. :) I must add it to my wish list too xx

    My favourite oil is this Carla Oates one. I love her Glow powder too. I too buy them from TVSN. I enjoy watching and have always found them to be reliable. I adore this serum especially, I have such dry skin and this helps immediately. I can even use it in the daytime because it absorbs so quickly. It seems to help my foundation application.

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...
