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 :)

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

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.
