111SKIN Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask Review

As much as I love face masks, they have to be realxing and I’ve never found that to be the case with sheet masks. My friend loves the 111SKIN Bio Cellulose Mask and whenever it’s her birthday or Christmas I add one to her beauty box. I’ve been using sheet masks before they became the rage in the last decade, and most have been okay to use, however some don’t stay put and others have too much…

Dr Sebagh Serum Repair

You may have heard of Dr Sebagh and the legendary Serum Repair, but with some many serums on the market it can be confusing figuring out if you need it and whether whether it can yield results worthy of the price tag. I’ve never used any items, simply because the products weren’t suited to my skin concerns, so when a bottle cropped up in a beauty box it was an ideal time to try it.

The Serum…

Institut Esthederm L’Osmoclean Gentle Pore Cleanser

I love my French pharmacy skincare, and so when I got a chance to try L’Osmoclean Gentle Pore Cleanser from Institut Esthederm, I eagerly took the opportunity. The company also owns Bioderma, renowned for its micellar water so it’s no surprise all Esthederm products contain a patented Cellular Water which mimics tissue fluid, and the range is ideal for all skin types and especially sensitive…

Clarins Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel

I’m going to be honest in saying I’ve never been a fan of Clarins cleansers because I don’t like milks that leave a residue, and the gentle cleansing foam, well it just never foamed well and didn’t cleanse deeply enough for me. This did put me off trying any of the other cleansers, but as I was short of a few loyalty points on my Clarins account, I decided to order a Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel…

Beauty Pie Lumiboost Spot Brightening Serum

If you read my review on the Beauty Pie concept and their products, you’ll notice I wasn’t that impressed (http://beautysuperspy.com/beauty-pie-review-overview/). The products were mediocre at best, and to be honest they’ve all sat in my drawer and not been touched since I tested them a year ago. They simply aren’t the products I reach for when I open my drawers, as I don’t have complete…

DHC Face Wash Powder Review

I’ve tried many cleansers in my lifetime, expensive ones to budget ones, and the important thing is that they must clean the face thoroughly, and not leave the skin feeling tight or dry anywhere. The DHC Face Wash Powder does all the above, and I’m pleased to say, here is a review of my new favorite cleanser. Don’t be fooled by the basic packaging, because once you’ve tried this, you’ll not want…

When Beauty PR and Customer Services Fail

Today, branding matters, no matter how good a product is, if the PR behind it annoys customers, and if the customer service fails in actually providing a service, then a brand will eventually suffer. There are tried and tested methods of marketing that never always worked, but the people in the office managed to persuade their clients it did , and what I’ve discovered is that poor PR (or a lack…

Elemis Superfood Prebiotic Facial Wash Review

Elemis recently launched a new skincare range that is vegan friendly, and is suitable of all skin types. It contains prebiotics and superfood ingredients, so what’s not to like? Like many I was excited by it. I demand a lot from my cleansers, in that they need to cleanse the skin without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry, leave no residue, and the big test is a sweep with a cotton pad…

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm Review

In your skincare regimen, cleansing is the most important step because if you haven’t cleansed properly, everything else you apply will sit on a layer of unclean skin. Nearly every company has a cleansing balm these days, but the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is the one that I have found (so far) to be the most effective, as it cleanses deeply and quickly leaving the skin soft, and also…

Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix SPF20 Foundation

Finding a foundation that is the right shade, is easy to apply, and affordable is no easy task, but I’ve found just that in the latest Revlon foundation—PhotoReady Insta-Fix that comes in a handy stick (6.8 g (0.24 oz). I’ve tried jars, bottles, tubes, and sticks, but the latter is my favorite because you can control where you want to apply (no waste), it’s easy to carry around (no spillages), is…

The Ordinary ‘Colours’ Foundation Review

The Ordinary by Deciem has launched a foundation range, and if there was ever a hyped up product, this has to be it. There are two foundations to choose from—a serum foundation that gives a light coverage, and the coverage foundation, which as the name says gives full coverage. Both come with a built in SPF 15 which is handy, but you should still use a sunscreen over it for the best protection.…

Shiseido Ibuki Gentle Cleanser

You can usually tell how good a skincare range is from their cleanser, and the Ibuki Gentle Cleanser from Shiseido is a perfect example of this. ‘Ibuki’ means inner strength in Japanese, and this cosmetics company is renowned for their excellent skincare products. The cleanser is a concentrated foaming cleanser that only needs a petit pois sized amount to create a rich, smooth, and strong lather.…

What Is Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA By The Ordinary (DECIEM)

The Ordinary by DECIEM are taking the cosmetics world by storm with ground breaking products at competitive prices, but many users are trying to fathom out exactly what some products do. Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA is a favorite product of mine, but what exactly does it do and who is it for? Ideally it is targeted at those who wish to reduce the appearance of age spots or hyperpigmentation from the sun…

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist

Rosewater has been a traditional beauty product for centuries, and is wonderful for soothing sensitive skin, and hydrating the skin. Jurlique Balancing Rose Mist is one of my favorites because it smells subtle, and also has a powerful and accurate atomizer that dispenses the rosewater quickly and easily. Many people who begin a skincare regimen tend to skip the rehydration stage, or rush it…
