Review: Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid




Hi loves! Happy Sunday! Hope you are all doing well. Today's post is a review on Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid (30ml, €49.90). It french brand and all the skincare is formulated in France. 95% to 100% molecules are plant based or derived from green biotechnology. 

The serum comes in a black glass bottle and has a dropper. The serum itself is clear and watery. It contains in the formula 4 different molecular weight of hyaluronic acids to act all levels of the skin. It can be used together when you get hyaluronic acid injections. It is perfect for dull, dehydrated and tiered skin. It's not recommended for oily skin type. My skin is between oily and norma, so I'm more combo skin. I have to say it has been wonderful for my skin.

First thing I noticed, when I used it, how soft my skin got. It also plumps the skin and makes it seem overall more healthy. I tried on my girlfriend and she has very dry skin and after first use her skin was plump and hydrated. Its ideal for dry skin type.

I used it every morning and evening after I have cleansed the skin and applied the toner. And I use only 3 drops. It's recommended to use up to 6 drops.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Propanediol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Perfume (Fragrance), Arginine, Lactobacillus Ferment, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Phytic Acid, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Galactaric Acid, PCA Ethyl Cocoyl Arginate.




I'am in love with this products. Its so good at keeping my skin hydrated and it helps to smooth out fine lines. It also helps to stimulate procollagen, because of polysaccharide. It has fragrance in it, but it's not too strong and it hasn't irritated my skin. I'm very happy with this serum :) If you are interested you can order it here.




Have you tried the brand before?

Wishlist #1 | 2019


Hi loves! I haven't done a wishlist for sometime and I think its time to one. These are some of the products I wanna try from brands I have never tried before. 

100% Pure:

There are few items I wanna try from the brand 100% Pure and first is their Multi-Vitamin + Antioxidants Potent PM Serum (€64.24, link). This claims to help brighten the skin, fight against fine lines and contains lot of good anti-aging ingredients. I also like its natural, gluten free, cruelty free and vegan. 

The second item I wanna try from the brand is their Gemmed Luminizer (€40.29, link). There is 2 shades available, but my name calls the shade Moonstone Glow. The shade looks stunning and they used fruit pigments to create this, how awesome is that. Do I need to say anything else :P


arbū


Next is a brand called arbū from Bulgaria and I wanna try their Advanced Wrinkle Erase Cream with Peptides Complex ( €119.00, link). 82% of the ingredients are organic. It helps to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines, helps with skin texture for more smoother looking skin. All the things I want :)


Next I wanna try their Revivifying Toner (€49.00, link). Its 95% organic and its a rose toner. I love everything with roses. It hydrates and tones the skin. It can also be used as a mist through out the day. Their products are not tested on animals.


Bee Good 

The last brand I wanna try is Bee Good. Its a British brand and I so wanna try the NectaPerfecta Beautifying Mask (£39.95, link). This sounds wonderful when the skin needs some plumping. Do I even have to say anything more.


This is it for this wishlist. These are all new brands to me and I can't wait to give these a go :) I'll be updating this list once I have tried some goodies from the wishlist. I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know, if you have tried anything from this wishlist. I wanna know how you liked it ;)

Review: Joik Exfoliating Facial Scrub


Hi loves! Today's review is on Joik Exfoliating Facial Scrub (75ml) with AHA fruit acids, bamboo and stone granules. The scrub comes in a black squeeze tube packaging and has a simple and clean design. 

The formula is 100% natural and its cream based micro peeling scrub. It's also gluten free. It removes gentle all dead cells, helps to improve skin tone and promises to give healthy glow. 

I have been using it since January and I like to use it in the mornings. It has a faint fruit scent to it, which I like. I apply a little bit on the dry face and gently massage the face with it. The particles in it are fine and it makes my skin soft. It also leaves my skin hydrated. It doesn't feel stripped or too tight after using it. It's perfect scrub for this time of the year when the weather is colder.

Ingredients: aqua, cocos nucifera oil, butyrospermum parkii fruit butter, glycerin, helianthus annuus seed oil, bambusa arundinacea stem powder, stearic acid, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, olea europaea seed powder, vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, saccharum officinarum extract, cetearyl glucoside, sodium levulinate, sodium anisate, citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract, citrus limon fruit extract, acer saccharum sap extract, citrus aurantium amara peel oil, linalool*, limonene* * components of natural essential oils.


I think its fantastic face scrub and I don't need to use much, so it will last me for a long time. It doesn't have strong scent and has been gentle to my skin. I'm very happy with it. I discovered you can get their products now in Netherlands, so I don't have to buy them from Estonia. If you are interested in it you can find it here. Its around 23 euros.


Whats your favorite face scrub?

Review: Fàileag #Original Traditional Scottish Rosehip Oil


Hi loves! Today's review is on Fàileag #Original Traditional Scottish Rosehip Oil (50ml,£12.95). It's vegan, has natural ingredients and is cruelty free. It's handmade in Scotland.

I  was looking for new face oil and came by their Instagram account, which you see here. They make rosehip oil and they have different flavors of it, but I ended up getting the original. I have combo skin and I find face oils help my skin so much.  

Rosehip oil is not just hydrating my skin. It's full of other benefits. It helps to restore and maintain my skin's inner glow. It helps to increase elasticity, makes the skin softer and smoother. It also tackles the inflammation, scars, fine lines and dark spots. Rosehip oil is also packed with antioxidants.

The oil comes in a red glass bottle and has a dropper. It's easy to apply it on skin. I use on my face 3 drops. It feels light weight and sinks into the skin fast. 

I have been using it since December, so it has been in my routine for 2 months now. I use it every evening as a last step in my skincare routine. I apply it after my face cream and I use only 3 drops. So far I have used up quarter of the bottle. I also like to use it on my neck. Fàileag rosehip oil makes my skin happy :)

Ingredients: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Extract.




I'm so happy I ended up getting this product. It makes my skin feel so soft and beautiful. I haven't got any dry patches, which can happen to my skin on winter. It has been amazing to my skin. If you are interested you can check the brand out here.


Which is your favorite face oil?

Review: Bellapiérre Shimmer Roll


Hi loves! Today's review is on Bellapiérre Shimmer Roll in shade Champagne (2g). This can be used on face, eyes and on body.


The product comes in a tube packaging and has a roller to apply the product. I don't really like to use it that way. I tap some of it off on my hand and pick it up with a brush. That way I have more control how much product I use it and it also lets me use it on the eyes. I use it as highlighter and inner corner highlighter. It looks so bright and I can see it would fit a lot of different skin tones. It is also formulated with natural ingredients and contains pure pigment.

Ingredients: Mica, Dimethicone, +/- C177891, C177491, C177007, C177499.

I like to use it in the evenings when I go out, because its more in your face kinda highlighter, which you can see swatched on the left. The times when I use it, I really like the result and the glow it gives me. And I'm glowing like a star all evening :) It makes me wanna try their pressed highlighters as well. 


I think for £7.00 its amazing product to have in your makeup bag for date nights or special occasion. If you like to wear it day to day it will also be a great item to have, plus the packaging is so compact that its perfect for travel.



Have you tried this product before?

Review: Darphin Hydrating Kiwi Mask


Hi loves! How are you? I'm super excited to share with you Darphin Hydrating Kiwi Mask (75ml, £37.00). The mask comes in a white squeeze tube and has a very clean packaging. It reminds me medicine for my skin.  


This mask is for anyone who has dry skin. It instantly hydrates the skin and promises to leave it radiant and refreshed. It has a wonderful fruity scent to it. It smells good enough to eat! The formula contains extract of kiwi, mango and pomegranate. 92% of the ingredients are from natural origins. Its formulated without parabens, mineral oils, phthalates and formaldehyde. 

The mask texture is like a lotion and it's white. I like to do this mask in the mornings, because its 5 minute mask. Its perfect to give my skin radians and hydration before I start my day, specially now when the weather is so much colder. I'm already familiar with the brand and the first time I tried the mask when I was in beauty salon and it was love from first try.

How to use:
It can be used as often as you want. Apply thick layer on clean skin and keep it on 3 to 5 minutes. Then you can remove it with tissue.

Ingredients: Water\Aqua\Eau Polysorbate 60 Dimethicone Glycerin Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract\Extrait D'Orge A Deux Rangs Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Extract Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fruit Extract Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Extract Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer Tridecyl Trimellitate Tridecyl Stearate Tocopheryl Acetate Sorbitan Stearate Caprylyl Glycol Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate Dimethiconol Hexylene Glycol Sodium Carbomer Fragrance (Parfum) Butylphenyl Methylpropional Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde Hexyl Cinnamal Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone Limonene Disodium Edta Phenoxyethanol Chlorphenesin

Down below you can see the before and after picture. This mask is the perfect morning mask for me. It's fast and gives me results. My skin feels after the mask hydrated, brighter and also plumper.


I'm so happy I ended up getting this mask! It makes my skin look and feel so soft. I do wanna pick up more skincare from the brand, but they are more pricey. I don't mind paying bit more for a good skincare, which gives me results.


Have you tried any of their skincare before?
