Style Korean Plant Based Skincare

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

As part of Style Korean's Try Me Review Me program I received a set of plant based beauty products:

Melixir Vegan Balancing Toner: to balance pH and hydrate the skin thanks to Green Tea, which is rich in antioxidants. I like that it is microbiome friendly and has a lightweight texture. It absorbs easily into the skin and hydrates it. It has a mild black tea scent. 

Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence: I've wanted to try this product for some time so was very excited to test it. It is formulated to refine and hydrate the skin with Kombucha (or fermented black tea), plus moisturising Ceramides and soothing Centella Extract. It has a light, milky texture that is easy to mix and it is fragrance free. Leaves my skin feeling moisturised and soft. Love the packaging. 

Mary & May Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick: provides SPF 50++++ and has anti-ageing properties with 25 types of Peptides and 1% Bakuchiol. It has a velvety finish on the skin which gives it a semi matte look. It is a convenient way of reapplying sunscreen on the go. It is strongly fragranced with a floral scent but it fades after a while.

Frudia Green Grape Pore Control Cream: it uses 81% Green Grape Juice instead of water to hydrate the skin, control sebum and reduce enlarged pores. It also contains exfoliating Papain for a smooth complexion. It has a lightweight gel consistency that glides on the skin and absorbs quickly. My skin looks matte and pores look less noticeable instantly. It is non-sticky and it does hydrate and control oil as it promises. Love the cute jam-jar packaging. It is also heavily fragranced. 

Have you tried any of these products?

New AKT Body Care

The Body Conditioning Balm: designed to firm, tone and rejuvenate the skin with Prebiotics, Squalane and Lactic Acid for nourished and soft skin. Enriched with Gatuline In-Tense MB, which is proven to increase collagen production.

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

I received the 100% Pure Fermented Rice Water Cleanser, formulated to brighten and soften the skin thanks to the enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and malic acid that fermented rice water contains.

Other notable ingredients include White mulberry, Shiitake mushroom, Licorice, and Citrus, which help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. 

This cleanser removes oil, dirt and makeup while being gentle so it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Toner

I received the Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Toner from the Superdrug Community.

It is formulated to smooth and brighten the skin thanks to Glycolic Acid, Kiwi Fruit and Mulberry Extracts. Other notable ingredients include Allantoin, Hamamelis Water, and Extracts of Sugar Cane, Sweet Orange, Lemon and Maple.

It has a very light, watery consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. I use a cotton pad and swipe it on my face and neck.

The old version of this product used to have 5% glycolic acid, however, this new version does not specify a percentage. It also indicates that it can be used twice daily, though I like to use it only a couple of times a week.

I like the herbal, slightly fruity scent, reminiscent of a masculine fragrance (which is the same across other products in the range) and how it makes my skin feel softer and smoother immediately after use. I also notice an improvement in pores and texture with this toner. 

It can also be used on the body to help with tone, texture and hyperpigmentation. 

Overall, a great product that I will continue to use and recommend if you are looking for an affordable and effective exfoliating toner. 

Find the Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Toner at Superdrug.

Hello Sunday Haul

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

I received a set of products from Hello Sunday to test and review:

The Everyday One SPF 50 Face Moisturiser: with Sunflower Seed Wax, Panthenol, Allantoin, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and Acacia Flower Wax. 

It has a runny consistency but still feels very moisturising on the skin, so I do not need to use a separate product underneath. It does leave a very glowy finish which is not ideal if you have oily skin like me, however, it can be solved with a bit of face powder. I would love to try the Matte version!

The One For Your Lips SPF 50 Lip Balm: features Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid to nourish and hydrate while providing high UVA + UVB protection. 

It has a medium thick texture and coats the lips nicely, forming a protective layer that leaves them feeling moisturised and comfortable, with a glossy finish. Definitely interested in trying the tinted versions too. It is hard to find lip balms with SPF, so this is a great option for summer! 

The One For Your Hands SPF 30 Hand Cream: this one contains Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Panthenol, Allantoin and Vitamin E. 

It features a light, whipped texture that absorbs completely into the skin quickly (I forgot I had it on about 10 minutes after application). It softens, moisturises and protects without any greasy feeling. SPF in hand creams is also a bit harder to come by so this will be my must have of the season!

Out of the 3 products I received, this is the only fragranced one - with notes of orange, florals and musk, for a warm, fruity and slightly sweet scent which I enjoy. 

Other products I'd love to try from this brand are the Retouch Face Mist and Brightening Eye Cream.

Hello Sunday products are available online at Cult Beauty

Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Eye Care

I received the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Eye Care from the Vichy Community to test and review. 

Infused with 5% Pro-collagen Complex and designed to target 5 eye ageing signs: crow's feet, under eye wrinkles, eye bags, dark circles and dropping eye lids. 

Other notable ingredients include Vitamin C, Caffeine, Vitamin E,and 3 types of peptides.

I really like the medium-thick texture that feels nourishing but not heavy or greasy, it leaves my under eye area feeling very soft and moisturised.

It truly seems to help reduce dark circles, however, the fine lines on the inner corners of my under eyes are still visible after using the eye cream for a couple of weeks. I kept on using it as I love peptides in skincare but unfortunately did not notice any changes regarding that as it was not as hydrating as I would have liked. 

Find the Vichy Liftactiv Collagen Specialist Eye Care at Sephora and Boots.

The Plant Base Ceramide Ampoule & Peptide Eye Cream

As part of the YesStyle Influencer program (join using the link in my bio) I received the P Lab Quesera Ceramide Ampoule and Time Stop Peptide Eye Cream by The Plant Base. 

The P Lab Quesera Ceramide Ampoule features Rice Extract, Niacinamide, Rice Bran Oil, Adenosine, Licorice Extract, 5 types of Ceramides and Phytosphingosine to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. 

This Ampoule has a light, milky texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft, moisturised and soothed. 

I love the glass bottle, it feels very good quality and the lid actually locks in with a satisfying click. The only thing I'm not sure about is the earthy scent but it is a nice serum overall!

The Time Stop Peptide Eye Cream is formulated to brighten the skin while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles thanks to 36% Rose Extract, 10% Honey Extract, Macadamia Seed Oil, Niacinamide, Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Ceramide NP, Jojoba Oil, Adenosine, Rose Culture Extracts and 10ppb Peptides.

It has a beautiful texture that looks like iridescent set honey but melts into the skin immediately, giving it a beautiful pearlescent glow.

It feels light on the skin and moisturises nicely, leaving it glowing and hydrated. Sadly, while I'm loving the texture, feel and ingredients, it does make my skin red and blotchy so it seems my eye area is not loving it too 🥺

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

I have been using the Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer from 100% PURE

It's made with watermelon hydrosol which provides vitamins and antioxidants, promotes hydration and reduces fine lines, and Cucumber hydrosol, which cools the skin and reduces irritation while hydrating the skin. It also uses hyaluronic acid for extra hydration.

This blend makes it very hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy so it's ideal for summer!

I love how light it feels on my skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves it hydrated, with a nice glow.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Highlighting Blush & Blonzer

A couple of weeks ago I was some new releases from bareMinerals by Escentual.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Highlighting Blush in Peach Glow: it gives a 'lit-from-within glow' and  delivers a subtle highlight with a hint of a warm, peach blush.  

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Blonzer: formulated to warm up the complexion with a radiant rosy-bronze glow, it gives a sun-kissed look instantly, minus the UV exposure or any self-tan disasters. 

Both products have a hydrating gel-cream texture infused with Hyaluronic Acid and help reduce the look of imperfections thanks to skin-smoothing HydraBlur Complex. 

While the product may look very dark in the packaging, it actually goes on quite sheer and looks very natural on the skin. Even though they are some of the darker shades in the range, as they blend with ease, the result is impeccably natural-looking, which I love!

They're both so pretty but my favourite has to be the Highlighting Blush as I have been recently very into blush and usually go for a less bronzed look, but would love to try the more pink-toned Blonzer shades (Kiss of Mauve, Rose & Pink) and the Highlighting Blush in Mauve Glow as well!

Find them both at Escentual and bareMinerals.

Wild Refillable Deodorant & Lip Balm

Very happy to announce that I am now a Wild ambassador!

They kindly sent me a refillable deodorant case with Fresh Cotton & Sea Salt and Coconut & Vanilla refills and the refillable lip balm case with a Coconut & Vanilla refill. 

I received the limited edition Emma Bridgewater bee case and the pink lip balm case - they're both so cute.

I'm currently using the Coconut & Vanilla scent on both the deodorant and lip balm and I am really enjoying them.

The fragrance is slightly warm and sweet, truly delectable. The deodorant keeps me smelling sweet all day and the lip balm reminds me of a blue Lip Smackers lip balm I used to have when I was about 14-15 🥰 takes me right back, I'm obsessed!

Kaine Ultimate Cleansing Duo

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

Kaine kindly gifted me a set of their new cleansers in the Kombucha line to test and review!

I received the Kombu Jelly Oil Cleanser and the Kombu Hydrating Daily Cleanser, designed to be used together in a double cleanse system.

The Kombu Jelly Oil Cleanser features a tri-phase texture which starts off as Jelly, then turns into Oil as it is massaged in, and finally transforms into Milk when water is added. 

Notable ingredients include Kaolin, Oils of Jojoba, Sunflower and Corn Germ, Kombucha. Centella Extract, and Ceramide NP. 

The texture is quite lightweight despite containing several oils, and melts into the skin easily. After emulsifying with water, makeup is effectively removed without leaving my skin dry. I find it a bit hard to remove completely so a second cleanse is definitely needed.

The Kombu Hydrating Daily Cleanser uses ultra-gentle surfactants to avoid drying out the skin, making it suitable for daily usage. 

It contains Camellia Leaf Powder, Allantoin, 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid, Kombucha and Ceramide NP. 

This cleanser has a jelly texture with green tea flakes to gently exfoliate the skin. It lathers well and rinses off easily without causing dryness to my skin. Only a small amount is needed, otherwise it becomes slimy and hard to use.

Overall, a great duo for gentle cleansing and hydrated skin!

Coxir Brown Rice Niacinamide Peeling Mist

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by N A V I L L E (@msvanille)

As part of my collaboration with coxir I received the Brown Rice Niacinamide Peeling Mist to test and review. 

This face mist is infused with Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, AHA & BHA to help exfoliate the skin without irritation. 

Other notable ingredients include Centella Asiatica Extract, Allantoin, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Extracts of Pumpkin, Guava, Acerola Fruit, Edelweiss and Aloe; plus Hydrolysed Collagen, Arginine and Rose Water. 

I really like the packaging, featuring a frosted plastic bottle and a wide pump which makes it very easy to use. The mist is also quite fine so it is evenly distributed over the skin, something that I appreciate. 

It doesn't really have a perceivable scent and leaves my skin feeling refreshed, smooth and hydrated without any stickiness. 

As it is an exfoliating product it is best to avoid too frequent usage, so only a couple of times a week will suffice, this will make the 80ml bottle go a long way.
