RawSkinCeuticals SPF 45+ Lotion

RawSkinCeuticals is an online indie company based in the US that is a 100% raw vegan line. To preserve the nutritional properties of the formulas, oils, herbs and butters that are used never exceed 60 degrees Celsius. Owner Sarah is such a beautiful person, who just wants to share her knowledge of skincare to others, through her products.

 Description taken from the website "No nano particles- micron sized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection that is non-whitening, non-greasy and spreads easily. Gentle chemical free hydrating formula, safe for even the most sensitive skin... Green tea and shea combine in this aloe based SPF lotion base to add hydration and protect against bacteria and toxins."
The lotion is packaged in a 120 ml bottle. It is also available in a larger 240 ml size.

 I love that the bottle has a convenient pump dispenser.

Definitely a lotion, not a thick cream.

This is the first natural sunscreen I have used, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this lotion.  

The smell is hard describe. I guess I would call it earthy, thanks to it being a natural product. I much prefer it to a synthetic fragranced product. It is noticeable upon application, but disappears once absorbed into the skin. Which brings me to my next point.

The lotion is easy to apply. One pump delivers enough product for my face and neck. It is not greasy, as in really not greasy, not store bought interpretations of zinc based non-greasy. Not only that, (I know, there's more!) my skin is totally touch dry in no time, so there's no tacky residue. It also doesn't react with any moisturiser I have applied underneath, no balling up or separating.

Since using for some time, I have not experienced any adverse reactions. No clogging or breakouts caused as a result of using the lotion. Oh, and no sunburn, either! :)

Seriously, at least check out the website. If you have any questions about the product, contact Sarah, she is only too happy to help. Actually I might meet you there, because I am in need of the bigger size!

I have found my holy grail sunscreen, yes you read correctly, HOLY GRAIL. As long as this SPF lotion is available, I am going to continue to buy it!

      Not many products end up getting a holy grail status from me, but if you are in the market for a sunscreen, I can't recommend this one highly enough xx

    Oh wow, what a brilliant find Indie! And the fact that it doesn't clog pores is such a bonus - that's ALWAYS my problem with sunscreens. I'll be checking this out without a doubt ♥♥♥

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...
