IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

After not being excited by Lapurete Okuru night cream , I was in no hurry to open the trial sized cleanser that I had in my skincare stash.  After slowly working through other cleansers, I came to the Okuru Mild Creme Facial Cleanser and Toner. Like all other cleansers, it claims to remove dirt and impurities. Okuru Passionflower are added to the formula to maintain skin's moisture levels, helping to minimize signs of ageing. Not only does this cleanse, but also tones the skin. For a trial size, the tube is a generous 40ml of product. I like the simple design of the packaging. The consistency of the white creme cleanser is rather rich. I like to use this cleanser at night in the shower, after I have cleansed any makeup with oil.  The scent is a fresh, light, floral, I quite like it. The cleanser feels luxurious on the skin. I find I don't need a lot of product, which is surprising. I normally find that I feel the need for more when using a creme cleanser. I...

Another month, another empties post, and have I got a lot of empties! Are you in the mood for some reading? If so, grab yourself a cuppa, you might need it ;) Cutex nail polish remover- Being an avid nail polish wearer, remover is a must. On the other hand, the brand is not that important to me. Remove my polish, and I'm happy :) Repurchase? Most likely. I generally buy whatever is cheapest. TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel - A friend of mine who suffers rosacea recommended this toner to me. I figured if she could use it on her sensitive skin, I needed to try it for myself.  Repurchase? That's a hard one. Yes, I was happy using this toner, but at the moment I am using another product that I love. So, I wouldn't rule it out, but I'm not in a hurry to replace it. Skin B5 Skin Purifying Mask - This is a wonderful clay mask. Easy to apply, easy to wash off and no drying, scared-to-move-or-I'll-crack feeling. It cleanses the pores, whilst nourishing the skin. R...

I don't normally review samples, but because this was quite a large size, I thought I would let you know what I think of this Lapurete product.  Lapurete Okuru Resurrection Night Cream contain Okuru, Sweet Pea and Resurrection Plant extracts. These are known for their hydration, ability to target fine lines and sagging skin. All this also prevents dullness of skin.  I received the 15 ml size, which comes in a pump dispenser bottle.  For a night cream, I found the consistency to be quite light. It seemed to have a fresh, "green" scent. Would I repurchase? Probably not. That sounds harsh, because the moisturiser was actually quite lovely on the skin. It seemed to just glide over my face and neck. I actually liked the lighter consistency, as it disappeared into my skin quickly. I did find that it did not seem to give me quite the hydration that I tend to need now.  I did not have any break outs from using the night cream, so I think this could be a wonderfu...
