Product Review - Tinted Moisturizer

Posted by Abigail Bryony at 14:06 0 comments






W7 BB Magic Tinted Moisturiser 
"W7 is a tinted cream that changes into a shade that matches your skin tone and gives a soft natural appearance"
I chose to buy a tinted moisturizer due to becoming tired of putting foundation on my entire face and would much rather only use my normal foundation or concealer for the problem areas on my skin these days. However i don't like the idea of having nothing at all as I have an uneven skin tone so went off in search of a tinted moisturizer. What I really wanted to try was Loreal studio secrets but on a very low budget I didn't expect to find anything I liked. I came across W7 bb magic which retails at £3.00 UK, although I managed find it for £2.50 on a market stall. 
What's good - Does exactly what the description says, matches skin tone and gives a completely natural appearance. No flaking or cakey texture in sight. 
What's bad - Yes it gives a natural appearance, but a little bit too natural for my liking! It gives very little coverage, although if you mix it with a tiny little bit of foundation when using then this should easily remedy the problem. 
Out of the three tinted moisturizers I have used before this is definitely the best one. The most natural and least orange, just not ideal if you have blemishes etc

Overall rating - 8/10

Product Review - Clinique

Posted by Abigail Bryony at 02:33 0 comments

Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 





Clinique clarifying lotion 2 is part of cliniques 3 step care system and is used as an exfoliant to bring on clearer skin. 
What's good - If you are like me and have quite dull acne prone skin then this will be perfect! It helps reduce dark marks on my skin that have been left by acne in my teenage years and makes my skin feel smoother and fresher. In just a few months it has helped reduce my acne scars more than using bio oil for years has!
What's bad - Although clinique number 2 helps to lighten my scars it does not actually help to prevent breakouts. Although it is not marketed as an acne prevention so this is not a problem! A bottle looks rather large yet seems to go quite quickly, however i believe it is fairly cheap for how much it helps my skin (retails at around £16.00 uk) Finally the smell could be better as to me it smells like nail polish remover, although this doesn't bother me too much in the long run.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10
