To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- Dr LeWinns Gentle Facial Cleanser

I generally use a foaming cleanser. To be honest, I've always thought that my skin was cleaner, when in actual fact, with some of the harsher cleansers that I have used, my skin is being stripped.
I received Dr LeWinns Gentle Facial Cleanser in a GWP. Formulated with facial oils, vitamin A, Squalene and Aloe Vera, this blend is gentle on the skin, yet effectively removes impurities, including sometimes hard to remove eye makeup. It is suitable for sensitive skin, yet all skintypes can benefit from using this cleanser.
The cleanser comes in a plastic bottle with screw top lid, which reveals a hole that dispenses product when the bottle is squeezed.
The pale green creamy cleanser actually smells green, fresh. It is quite a thick consistency. I like to use it at night when I have my shower. 

 Would I repurchase? Well, I have some cleansers to get through before buying any more. but I am determined to only buy cream cleansers in future. I've become to realise that a squeaky clean face is not ideal, even on skin that is prone to oiliness. I like that this cleanser removed impurities, yet was hydrating for my skin, even after it was washed away. My skin was left soft and smooth, not tight and dry.

 Using only in the PM, the cleanser lasted for months, making it rather budget friendly. Thanks to Dr LeWinns, I have now experienced that a creamy cleanser can adequately clean my skin, with the benefit of not being harsh or drying.

 What type of cleanser do you prefer?

    I have a foaming one to get through but I agree it's stripping my skin too. I have an oil cleanser in my cupboard I'll try next.

      I enjoy using an oil cleanser. I'm the same, unless something is really terrible for my skin, I feel the need to finish before starting another, lol. I hope you enjoy the oil cleanser, hun :)

      You're very welcome, hun. I can't really compare because it is the 1st creamy cleanser that I've used, but I'm sure that it would be lovely on your skin :)

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

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.
