RawSkinCeuticals RegenC Exfoliator

Although I've always been a fan of chemical exfoliators rather than physical ones. Using a sample of the RegenC Exfoliator convinced me that I needed to try a full size.

 Taken from RawSkinCeuticals- "Natural exfoliators and vitamin C combined with saponified fatty acid rich oils including Argan, Borage, Grapeseed and Olive removes dead skin cells, bacteria and surface toxins leaving the skin feel clean, soft and smooth."
Large, slim bottle.
Handy pump top dispenser.
Creamy consistency.

I like to use this exfoliator in the shower, so having a pump top dispenser is mess free, and I don't have to worry about the bottle slipping out of my hands.
What I noticed first when I pumped product into my palm, was the scent. Fresh citrus, I find it such a lovely invigorating smell.

The exfoliator smooths easily across the skin. It only has a small amount of granules, so a good massage of the product still feels gentle on the skin. I massage for around 30 seconds, then as recommended leave to sit on my skin for around a minute before rinsing. This allows the exfoliating ingredients to penetrate the skin, acting as the chemical component.



Unlike other exfoliators I've used in the past, the RegenC one acts to hydrate the skin. So it's not just removing unwanted debris, it is also giving back to the skin. As I get older I find my skin needs an extra moisture boost, but I have to be careful with the oilier parts of my skin that can be prone to break-outs. 

Being suitable for all skin types, this exfoliator helps prep my skin for further treatment. Whether it be a mask, or my regular night routine.

Once a week application is all that is recommended. Even though I have been using 3 times weekly, I have not experienced any problems with over doing it.

This exfoliator would be perfect for those who have sensitive skin, and prefer gentle products, as the granules are barely noticeable. However, having combination skin that is not sensitive, I have really been enjoying this product.

Do you use an exfoliator in your skin care routine?

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...
