REVIEW: C20 Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

Hello loves!

So sincewe're on the serum path at the moment I thought I'd share my fave serum at the moment!

Let's have a closer look!

So this is what it looks like. I like the simple but bright packaging. You get 30ml of products. 

Ingredients! So it has got alcohol with I don't like plus some parabens but the serum is so good  so I'm split on this :(

Some more information about the product ~

The back of the bottle.

So it comes with a standard serum applicator which is separate from the bottle when it comes brand new. The colour is slightly yellow but I think it's pretty clear why ;)

The consistency is runny but thicker than the Klairs serum (see previous post). It has a nice clean scent with a hint of citrus. I use about 2-3 drops for my entire face. It sinks into the skin in a minute  max and my face feels tightened afterwards. 

Just to let you know that if you have a little wound or a freshly squeezed spot on your face this wil sting like hell! I think that's the alcohol. Because thise serum feels quite astringent when I use it.

I only use it at night because you're supposed to avoid sunlight when you apply such highly concentrated vitamin c which I don't mind. I prefer using it at night anyway.

My skin feels so incredibly smooth after it's just applied and the feeling stays like that all day. It also helps with redness and minimize the look of spots on my face. Eventhough it feels like it's tightening my face a little, it doesn't dry my skin out at all which I really enjoy!

I keep it in the fridge to keep it away from light and to have a nice cool feling on my face when I apply it. If you start to see some dry yellow bits around the cap of the serum. Do NOT throw it away! It's not gone bad, it's normal to happen with vitamin c serums. Just remember o close the lid tight and you'll be fine.

I will always repurchase this serum! It's so amazing and it really helps my skin look better by every use!

I hope this was helpful!

REVIEW: Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop Serum

Hello loves! Today I'm here with a review of the very famous Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop Serum. 

I bought this from Wishtrend.com & it retails for $23 on their website so it's not the cheapest of serums. Let's get started shall we?

So this is what be bottle looks like. I really enjoy the pretty packaging with the holographic against the white. Nice one there Klairs. You get 35ml of product.

Description on the box what it's meant to do & how to apply it.

Ingredients if you're interested. It's got very good ingredients. No alcohol, mineral oil or parabens GO KLAIRS! 

As well as vitamin C it's also got loads of other lovely things in there such as, Centella extract, Grapefruit extract, Broccoli extract, Orange oil, Lavender oil, and a whole other lot of different extracts that I don't even know what they are haha! 

What it says on the bottle: 

Skin repairing Vitamin Drop is a revolutionary antioxidant treatment serum. L-Asorbic Acid helps protect the skin from UV damage and improving skin tone and texture. 

It's supposed to be non irrtating, transfrming and be a multi-solution. It's got 5% Ascorbic acid which makes it suitable for all skin types, ages & even if you have really sensitive skin. 

The back of the bottle.

The consistency is quite watery but has e gel like feeling to it at the same time. It's very smooth and I apply about 4 drops on my entire face every morning. 

I love using this serum in the morning because it's so gentle, it helps to get rid of my redness & it brightens my skin too. I haven't had a bad reaction, it's not irritating, it doesn't sting if you have like a freshly squeezed spot on your face and the serum sinks into it. 

It taks about 3-4 minutes for the serum to sink in completely to my skin, it's not sticky and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all on my skin. It also gives my skin a bit of a healthy sheen after it's sunken in properly.

Makeup looks lovely on top but don't forget your sunscreen when you use your vitmin C serums. Whilst it's good to boost your skin with vitamin C it becomes more sensitive to UV damage so just be careful :)

I thoroughly enjoy using this serum and I would definitely buy this again! I think it'd be amazing for sensitive skin because it's oh so very gentle on the skin. 

They also advise to use a bit less of the product if you are extremely sensitive, plus you can mix the serum with another serum, or with a lotion until the skin is used to the Klairs serum.

Now I am using another vitamin C serum at the same time so it could be both of them together working extra well, but my skin texture has definitely improved. It's a lot smoother and less "bumpy". 

I can't really tell if the collagen-bit has had it's effect yet but hopefully I can see it more in the future. As well as my skin beeing smoother it is also a bit brighter. At the moment my skin looks the brightest right after application but in the long run it'll have a better effect I think. I'm not even half way through the bottle yet! 

I hope this review was helpful. If I have forgotten to mention anything please feel free to ask me any questions, I'll gladly answer them for you. ^^

Have an amazing day!

REVIEW: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit "Natural Beige"

Hello loves! Today I'm here with my first review after like 2 years of not buying any makeup... Today I'm here with a review of the Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright fit! 

This is the packaging. It's a normal squeezy tube! 

Here are some swatches! I have the colour "Natural Beige" and it has a yellow undertone wich balances out my red undertone in my skin. It's very light, not thick at all. The scent is light and fresh. It's very blendable.

Here is it on my face. I have a light dusting of the Dear Girls powder over the top but it gives a very healthy glow and it's not a greasy glow. With this powder it looks beautiful in real life.

A closer look. Can you see the dewyness? I only have a light dust of powder so you can still see the glow, however I'd probably wear a bit more powder cause I don't like looking shiny. 

After about 4 hours I started to look shiny but I will try different powders with this to see if I can keep my oil at bay for longer. Even so the bb cream doesn't move and it doesn't look patchy or enhance dry areas. The colour match is perfect for me as well.

I have combination skin and for me (with the right powder) it works just fine. For dry skin it'll look beautiful! For oily skin I wouldn't suggest that you buy this, however if you really want to try it go all out with primers, powder, maybe setting spray and botting powder/sheets.

If I have forgotten anything let me know!

I would defenitely recommend this and I'll buy it again for sure.

I hope this was helpful :)
