Skinn Enriched Softening Essence

Essences seem to be a hot product right now, especially K-Beauty brands. I'd had the Skinn Enriched Softening Essence in my stash for some time, and thought I'd give it a go to see if it met the hype. I realise there's probably a world of difference when compared to the K-Beauty versions, but I thought this may be a good starting point.

 Taken from Skinn- "Prep your skin with this exotic, invigorating and ultra-hydrating miracle in a bottle. Enhanced with young coconut water and an exotic blend of 26 different fruit and plant extracts, your skin will be flooded with nature’s best moisturizing ingredients. Featuring high-performing Tamarind seed extract to improve skin’s elasticity and texture while intricately binding moisture more powerfully than hyaluronic acid. Feel the relaxation as your skin transforms into a supple, soft, and primed canvas ready to maximize the effects of all your anti-aging treatments"

The essence is packaged in a handy 125ml. The bottle is simple yet classy looking.


It has a hole dispenser at the top which is a nice size to control the amount of product used.

The fluid consistency is not as thin as water, but not thick enough to be considered oily.

I use the essence on cleansed skin, pouring a small amount in the palm of my hand and massaging into my skin. It disappears quickly into the skin. After using, my face will feel soft and plump, yet not too hydrated that products used afterwards sit on my skin. In fact, I find that any other product I follow this essence with absorbs quickly.
I thought the Skinn Enriched Softening Essence was a glorified toner, but I was wrong. I find this extra step worth adding to my skincare routine. In future I'm sure I'll try an essence from a K-Beauty brand, but for now I'm quite content using this Skinn essence.

 Have you tried a skin essence product?

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...
