Skinn Olive and Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser

I've been using, and loving many products from the Skinn range. It was only natural that I would want to try the cleansers, too. Since it was the first cleanser I used out of the am/pm duo, today I am reviewing the cleanser for night time use.

 Taken from Skinn- "This sweet-smelling, multi-tasking night time cleansing balm, rich in antioxidants, minerals and exfoliating enzymes gently melts away makeup, daily grime, pollution and dead skin cells. It's creamy and buttery texture effortlessly glides onto skin, leaving no unwanted impurities behind. Enriched with skin purifying Orange Peel Oil, soothing and ultra hydrating Olive, Avocado and Sunflower oils, as well as Marigold Extract and sugar-cane derived Squalene to leave skin feeling drenched with moisture and looking superbly radiant."

                                                I bought the large salon size from TVSN.
Handy pump top dispenser.

Thick, creamy consistency.

When I first applied this cleansing balm, I nearly ate it. Lemon meringue pie, omg, smells so so good! 

Now onto the important things, like cleansing the face, lol. I love the thick texture. It is so nice on the skin. It emulsifies during application rather than lathers. 

In the past, I felt that I needed a foaming cleanser, but now I realise that they are often not the best for the skin, often stripping it.


I still oil cleanse first to get rid of the bulk of my makeup. I then apply this balm cleanser. I use 2 pumps for face and neck and massage for a couple of minutes. It has great ingredients for the skin, and none of the bad, so leaving it on for a little extra time is beneficial. 

Although the cleanser has a thick consistency, there is no problem with removal, it washes right off easily.


I really love how my skin feels and looks after I have cleansed. Sure, it's clean, but my skin is also soft and hydrated. I also have a healthy glow, which at my age is much appreciated! 

I also find that anything that is applied afterward gets absorbed quickly, soaking into my skin, not sitting on top of it. And did I mention that it smells so good!!

What is your current cleansing 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...
