Lacura Naturals Macadamia and Shea Butter Lip Balm

Aldi's own skincare brand Lacura, has surprised me with their decent products, considering the very budget friendly prices. 

 As I was wondering around doing my weekly grocery shopping, I noticed the triple pack of Naturals Macadamia and Shea Butter Lip Balm.

 Containing vitamin E, macadamia oil and shea butter, the lip balm moisturises the lips, while protecting them from the sun with spf. 
The lip balm comes in a tube, reminds me of the old lip balm tubes., where you twist up, rather than wind.

 It is a thick formula and when I began using this lip balm, it did feel heavy on my lips, similar to the feel of lipstick. I did get used to the feel over time. 

 It is truly hydrating, drenching the lips with the moisturising properties, yet without being sticky.

 There is only a low spf factor of 6, but some protection is better than none, I guess. I had never before thought of buying a lip balm with a sunscreen, but lips certainly need protection from the sun, also. Especially being so dry and chapped like mine often get.

 Do you use a lip balm with sunscreen?

    That's a strangely low SPF! I've been considering trying some Lacura products recently - what would you recommend?

      I really liked their CC cream, I've noticed that Aldi now have a BB cream, which I'd really like to try :)

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...
