Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturiser



Base on historical data, the one thing I consistently use is moisturiser. While I try out samples on occasion, I tend to stick to one full size moisturiser. And for 75ml bottle, it can last me about 1 and a half year with sparing usage. So despite the higher price, it's really worth the splurge. This time round I bought the Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturiser. I wanted to try the goat milk one, but after seeing this oil free version, I feel safer choosing this option. 

I was also debating between the FAB and this one. In the end I prefer this packaging. It's different. You have to press the pump down for the product to come up and gather at the opening base thing. Anyway this is 50ml, and cost $105. That's why I bought it during the Sephora sale. 20%, I managed to save $20+. 

The product sometimes has a funky scent. But only if I press too much. So the way I use this is using about 1/2 or 3/4 of the the pump. So I press the pump in that strength. It's very moisturising and under make up, it doesn't leave me oily. I mean if I were to don't use anything, it has that sort of dewy finish, but it doesn't look greasy or anything. So for oily skin is good enough for me. But for acne, this doesn't help. It doesn't irritate and cause more spots, but it doesn't help to reduce them either. 

But it's still a good moisturiser I feel. I wouldn't really buy it again as buying it once and using it for a year will probably bore me and I want to try something else. But I do recommend it for any one with oily or normal skin.

[…] goat milk is the more popular one. I tried and loved the moisturiser for acne/oily skin. I thought I try the main one. Managed to get the 30ml one. Plus it’s slightly cheaper at $46 […]

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
