Plenaire Skincare Review

 

I'm not gonna lie, the first time I saw Plenaire's packaging I fell in love. It really was love at first sight. I would go as far to say it's my favourite product packaging of all time.The more I looked into the products, the further in love I fell. Plenaire kindly allowed me to choose some of their products* to try and here are my thoughts.

The first product I chose was the Rose Jelly Gentle Makeup Remover. The texture really intrigued me and I'm a sucker for anything rose related when it comes to skincare. The texture is really unique, It melts on to the face like a  cleansing balm, but removes makeup like an oil. I absolutely love this product, it removes my makeup thoroughly and doesn't strip my skin. There is a slight fragrance, but it's really subtle, not overwhelming or intense. The only thing I would say, is I find this stings my eyes a little, but ever since I've been on accutane, my eyes have been super dry and sensitive (I use drops every day), So this didn't really bother me as I have the same experience with other makeup removers.

Now, to be honest, the next product I actually chose was Skin Frosting ( the hydrating mask) but I was accidentally sent the Tripler 3 in 1 exfoliating clay. Normally I stay clear of anything with the word exfoliating in, as it's usually too harsh on my skin. I thought I would give this a go as it was sent to me and I was really pleasantly surprised! The consistency of the mask similar to a mousse, which is so satisfying on the skin. It dries down, but is still easy to remove. I also found the exfoliator part of the product, to be nice and not too intense. It really is the perfect mask if you have dry skin and want a little exfoliation, but nothing harsh. My skin looked super smooth and glowy after using this and didn't feel tight or dry. 

Another product I chose was droplet. A lightweight moisture gel. I love gel moisturisers, especially as part of my morning routine as they absorb quickly and provide great hydration. Droplet does just that! A little bit goes a long way and my skin feels super hydrated throughout the day. Out of all the products, this definitely has the strongest fragrance. It still isn't overwhelming and disappears almost instantly when you apply it, but if fragrance isn't your thing, this product may not be for you. I also find this is a great makeup primer as my skin feels super smooth after using this and my makeup glides onto my skin! 

Overall, I have definitely found a new brand I love. I definitely want to try more from Plenaire and have my eye on the skin frosting and violet paste. It really is wonderful to feel excited about a brand and wonder what they will release next ?(I'm hoping for lip balms!)

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
