Swisse Natural Defence BB Cream

I recently hauled some Swisse products from Chemist Warehouse. Something I bought, but didn't really need was the Swisse BB Cream. I already have a few base products but I just couldn't pass up on the sale and I really wanted to try a natural BB Cream.


Taken from Swisse- "Swisse Natural Defence BB Cream SPF 30 is a multifunctional, lightweight facial cream that provides sheer, natural coverage with a subtle luminous effect, while protecting the skin from the damaging effects of the environment."

 The BB cream comes in a squeeze tube containing 60 ml of product. It has a flip top lid. The consistency is on the thicker side, but is easy to smooth across the skin. The cream has a subtle natural earthy scent.

I bought the BB cream in the shade Light Beige, the colour looks slightly orange, but sheers out during application. It does feel a little on the oily side at first, but sets to only a slightly tacky finish which I much prefer to a BB cream that doesn't set at all.

 Because the cream is so sheer, I would liken it more to a tinted moisturiser. In saying that, I do like how radiant this makes my skin look. It also does a nice job of evening out my skin tone. I may not get coverage, but I feel comfortable enough just using the BB cream as a base on minimal makeup days.

 I really appreciate that this BB cream not only has SPF 30, but it is a physical not chemical sunscreen. It also contains Australian botanical extracts so has anti-aging benefits.

As you can see from the above before and after pics (the after I also applied mascara), the Swisse Skin Defence BB cream gives me a subtle my-skin-but-better look.



What BB cream are you loving?

    Looks like a good one! When I finish the two that I'm using now I'll probably go back to Physicians formula and try one of the formulas I haven't tried like the organic CC cream. xo

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. Opening the palet...
