It's been a Long week for me. So much so happened, My uncle passed away with brain cancer and Funeral and every thing. So I donno, Just feel like why is life so unfair, why doens't things like this happen to those murders, rapests out there?? sigh..
Any ways, besides the depressing moments of my week, guess there are joyful ones to balance it out. I bought the MAC 5 brush set in Purple. I actually wanted to get the MAC 187 brush for a long long time now, but then it was AUD$87 just for one brush. Then I saw the 5 Brush set for AUD$110.. I thought why not??and it have the brush set case and a make up bag. hehehe
Ok So back to the main topic, I have two Jurlique products that I am doing a review on. The reason why I like Jurlique so much is that it is good for skin as it contains all natural and herbal ingredients and so it can be used on sensitive skins like my self.The products are:
- Jurlique Citrus Silk Finishing Dust, Reblance Oiliness
- Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream, Maintain Balance
Jurlique Citrus Silk Finishing Dust, Reblance Oiliness
Container
It comes in a plastic container with a puff and sifter. The container is pretty good for bringing it along when travelling because it's light and the puff stops excess powder coming out from the container.
The Product
The powder it self has a light citrus refreshing smell which I LOVE; they have the lavender version of this but I didn't like the smell of that one. I tried it on my hand at the Jurlique Counter, it was really finely milled and I purposely put extra on, and it didn't look really cakey or powder or even white-ish. It just stays as translucent, which is a Plus for me. Then the shop assistant came over and showed me how it would work on OIL. So she put some rose oil on her hand and spread it all over her hand, I was shocked at first because she over spilled excess oil on her hand. but when she used the puff to press and dust the silk powder on top of the oil.. OMG.. I WAS SOLD!!! the oily appearence completely disappeared and it was MATTE finish. like WOW. But before I bought it I checked out its ingredients just incase it had some weird stuff in it. Here's a picture of the back of the box, the main ingredient is Zea Mays which is corn starch, then the second one is Rice Starch followed by Silica. So if ur allergic to corn starch or silica I suggest u don't buy it. It's actually similar to Everday Minerals' silk dust, except it is finely grinded not so grainy I guess. But the major difference is this stuff has AMAZING oil control ability like I normally would go oily after 3.5 hours of dusting EDM silk dust. But this stuff lasts me 6 hours before I need to BLOT.. and I only Blot once a day with this stuff. But if you have DRY skin, I don't recommend you buying this, other wise give it a try you will like it. I give it a 8.5/10
Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream, Maintain Balance
I actually wasn't going to buy this item, but the SA was introducing me to this as she saw that my face was extremely dry with fine lines and flakey skin ><.. the downside of winter. So my skin goes all weird on me, having oily surface but dry skin. So she said in the morning don't use heavy face wash and using harsh exfoliator to get rid of dead skin may make ur skin worst. So she recommended me this .
I was skeptical as first, but she try it on my hand. She said you just work it a big in ur hand first then press into the skin and keep pressing for 30 seconds wash off with warm water. I was like it's got oats and grainy almonds in it.. How you surpose me to use this ??? but right after she cleaned the things off. The skin on my hand feel like button, so soft and every thing. So she told me she uses this in the morning with a bit of water and that's it. I bought it and gave it a try for about a week, hehe my face isn't so dry any more, it feels more supple and soft. I LOVE this thing..
So gentle on the skin doesn't scratch at all. If you have dry skin, give this a try. Highly recommend it. I give it a 9/10.
By Purchasing two products they gave me a free samples of other products to try. They were on a Promotion.. hehe so happy. The kit includes Lavender Hydrating Mist, Moisture Replenishing Mask and Wrinkle Softening Cream.
