Ciencia8 Preparation8

Toner is a skincare product that is part of my morning and evening routine. I use it to remove any remaining residue on my skin. To be honest, I'm not generally excited by toners. Do the job without stripping my skin, and I'm content.

 Prep8 is quite unique to me. It's not just a toner, it is also a gentle exfoliator. The ingredient Papain, an enzyme from the papaya fruit, has been added to the formulation to chemically exfoliate skin, sounds scary, but I prefer not to use physical exfoliators that can damage the skin. Peelmoist has also been added to deliver the enzyme through the surface of the skin.
The product comes in a 50 ml bottle.
The lid once removed, reveals the pump-top.
The consistency of this product is not quite as thin as a fluid.

 To apply, I just pump once into the palm of my hand, then apply directly to face and neck. No cotton pads needed, like I do with a regular toner.

 Prep8 absorbs very quickly, the skin is completely dry in no time.

 I love that it not only works as a toner, but I no longer need an exfoliator. I also don't need to set a time or day to exfoliate my skin.

 I've noticed that by using this product, following skincare products seem to absorb quicker, as Prep8 helps to deliver creams/serums deeper than just the surface of the skin.

 Another happy customer of this Ciencia8 product, if only it was a more budget friendly price!

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...
