Dermalogica Skinperfect Primer

I'm sure you've heard of the Dermalogica brand. Popular for good reason as it is such a leader in skincare. What I wasn't aware of is that this much loved brand carried an anti-ageing primer. I was lucky to win this in a prize pack, but have only just gotten around to using it.

 From the Dermalogica website- "Smooth away fine lines, brighten and prime for flawless skin and to prep for makeup application. Velvety silicones create an instantly smooth surface. Pearl powder and natural earth minerals provide a neutral tint to help balance tone and enhance luminosity. Peptides and AGE smart actives help firm and shield against MMP and free radical damage, as sunscreens shield against sun damage. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colours."
The primer is packaged in a rather slim tube, containing 22 mL of product.
Unscrewing the lid reveals the small nozzle which gives control of the amount of primer squeezed through.
Thick in consistency.

The scent of this primer is quite earthy. Not overly appealing, but I much prefer it to synthetic fragrances. It does disappear rather quickly after application anyway.

The primer has a very silicone-y feel. Thick, yet not heavy in the slightest. I would say it is very similar in feel to the Arbonne primer or L'Oreal Base Magique. 

With the silicone base it is so light on the skin. It blended easily, gliding with ease.

I didn't notice a huge difference in my skintone, or the claimed promise of luminosity, but that's not to say that I am not enjoying the primer. What I do find, is that I get a slight mattifying, which gives me that more blurred finish. This helps to minimize the look of lines and pores.

Speaking of which, lines and pores are filled in so that my makeup sits on top, not in.

The Skinperfect Primer is not sticky, but does seem to help hold my makeup in place throughout wear.

A big plus for some is that this product contains an SPF of 30.

Why did I not start using this primer a long time ago??

      As much as I love it, I don't think I'm going to spend so much on a primer, either, Kat xx

    I love the Dermalogica Age Smart range of products. I've used quite a few of their products but not this primer. I'd love to try it but it is expensive.

    I've been happy with my derma products to date, unless it's a oil based primer they all roll up into a ball and roll off my face. I rarely use primer now that I'm so lazy, and only use it if i really want to cover my pores :p

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...
