Today I’m giving you a little sneak peak into my beauty stash, see what’s new and what kind of reviews you can expect to see in the near future.
These skincare and makeup products are a mix of PR samples and products I purchased myself. There are so many new skincare products that I’ve been testing over the last couple of weeks! I was recently introduced to Purlisse skincare and I have to say that I immediately fell in love with their products. So far I’ve tried the Pur-Delicate Soy Milk Cleanser, Pur-Moist Hydra Balance Moisturizer and the Blue Lotus Eye Serum. I currently use Tazorac and Acanya for my acne and both tend to dry out my skin and Purlisse products have worked so nicely at soothing my skin. I’ll definitely give you guys an update/review within the next couple of weeks.
Another skincare range I recently mentioned on my Instagram is the Purifying range from Derma-e. I’m very familiar with Derma-e as I’ve used (and loved!) their products in the past, so I was really excited to try something new from them. I love the Purifying Gel Cleanser– in case you didn’t know by now, I have a thing for cleansers :D – and the Purifying Youth Serum.
I’m finally getting to try some Molton Brown products and I have to say that in addition to gorgeous packaging and lovely formula, these also smell absolutely amazing. I got to test the new Dewy Lily of the Valley & Star Anise set and it’s absolutely stunning and I have to say that the scent is highly addictive.
It’s no secret that I love IT Cosmetics and I always get excited whenever I get a chance to try some of their products. Right now I’m trying out their Sunshine in a Compact matte bronzer and You Sculpted Contouring Palette for Face and Body.
Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster and Sheer Zinc Moisturizer with SPF30. I have yet to try the SPF Moisturizer, but the Complexion Booster is works pretty amazing so far- leaves my skin feeling very smooth and soft. I’m still deciding whether or not I like the packaging, although I love and appreciate the fact that these don’t come in a jar.
I also recently picked up yet another cleanser- No.7 Age Defense Cleansing Balm which is amazing and already a favorite of mine. I also mentioned Pixi’s Hydrating Milky Serum on my Instagram as well- really lovely product, but the packaging is a bit of an issue as the dispenser isn’t the best. Another two products from Pixi that are waiting to be tested are the H2O Skindrink Pure Hydration Gel and Moisturizing Cleansing Cloths.
Seriously loving these Purlisse products- if you’re familiar with this brand and know of any other products I should try from them, please let me know!
Few weeks a go, I also got sent this little CelluBlue Cup which is supposed to help smooth the skin and make it more elastic- I’m putting it to test this week! I’ve used similar products in the past, so I am familiar with the concept and know that it works- can’t wait to see how the CelluBlue compares. It’s definitely less bulky than other “firming cups” I’ve used in the past.
I mentioned this NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint on my Instagram today, as today was the first day I used it. I love bases with a matte finish so I’m very excited to add this one to my collection.
I couldn’t resist this stunning Les Sahariennes Bronzing Stone from YSL (this is in Sunstone) and the Sunkissed Nude Eye Palette from Bobbi Brown. I’ll be honest here and admit that the first thing that caught my eye was gorgeous packing of both. I mean, can you blame me? :)
Would you be interested in seeing reviews for any of these? You’ll definitely see a post about the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint and some of the skincare products. Is there anything new in your beauty collection that you’re dying to try?

April 25, 2016 at 10:08 pmSo many beauties! As mentioned on FB, the Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint is my new favourite and I have been using it as my foundation since I got it (it blends so nicely!). That YSL bronzer is amazing and I also love Pixi packaging – that mint green is too beautiful. I have to try those cleansing wipes!
