Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm

Image
This is my first cleansing balm and I don't have a habit of buying expensive cleansers, but I did splurge this time to see how much better they perform in comparison to cheap cleansers that I tend to use. I've been using it for about a month now and the answer is much, much better. My face always felt so tight after cleansing and I had tons of dry patches appearing everywhere until I first started using L'Oreal Miracle Cleansing Oil (which I adore, but sadly it's clogging my pores) and now this one. Now my skin feels much better.  It has a very runny texture, like an oily gel of sorts and I have to be very careful when opening the lid or it gets everywhere. I want everything clean and perfect like it just came out of a shop, so this bothered me a lot from the beginning, but I learned how to get the desired amount without spilling the product everywhere. Edit 29.03.2014: I'm on my second tube and I'm not sure whether the first tube was faulty or the change in ing...

July Favourites 2013

Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme  I just did a review for it, so I won't go into much detail, but it is a lovely, light coverage BB with a skin-like finish. I wore it on most days this month.  Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm My first cleansing balm and I have to admit, I really like it. It removes all but mascara and leaves my skin feeling clean yet moisturised. I'll do a review soon. Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner A lovely, exfoliating, hydrating toner that really made a difference in how my skin looks. My skin is brighter, clearer, smoother and those few red marks I have, have significantly faded. I really enjoy using it. L'Occitane Angelica Hydrating Cream I only have a generous sample, but I've been using it for two weeks now and I must say, this is flipping gorgeous. Truly an amazing moisturiser. It's so light, yet really hydrating and it leaves my skin so supple and nice with a semi-matte finish. I think it's the best moisturiser I've e...

Summer Must-Have Items ~ Tinted RX Sunnies

Image
I have to admit, as a bespectacled person, I sometimes feel awkward when I head out on a sunny day especially in summer. Stand under strong sunlight, my eye can not open. So for this summer, I think a pair of tinted prescription sunglasses is a visual aid which features lenses that are colored or darkened or polarizing lenses to protect my eyes from sun's glare.

Diorskin Nude BB (plus Guerlain's Lingerie de Peau BB)

Image
I am a fan of foundations/BBs that give that skin-like finish and Dior's BB is exactly that. A while back, I had a sample of this BB cream which really impressed me. So as soon as I found a nice offer I snatched  a tube for myself. It is a medium thickness BB cream that blends into the skin so well. I find it looks best applied with a brush , I like Real Techniques buffing brush the most for applying this BB, but fingers work ok too. The finish is semi-matte and there is some healthy radiance to it. It looks like skin and you can't really see that your wearing anything, it just sort of melts in. It reminds me of Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum , but less radiant and Bourjois BB cream . Much like Bourjois HM serum, it leaves the skin (almost) dry to the touch, which is a huge plus for me . I set it with powder in this hot weather otherwise my T-zone gets shiny, but I probably won't have to in colder months. It looks fantastic in combination with Mac Mineralize Skinfinish natu...
