Recently (I say
recently... but 'recently' I've lost track of time and been in a bit
of a time warp... so I really mean a few weeks (month?) ago.) I was
lucky enough to win a Rodial beauty giveaway. Before this giveaway I
hadn't really heard of Rodial... but upon research I found out that
it is a luxury high-end brand so I was so excited to receive this as
I don't own many high-end products.
What did I receive?
What were my thoughts?!
This is described as a
'tinted lip butter with hydraulic acid spheres'...whatever that
means...It is enriched with cocoa butter and Vitamin E for a moisture
rich butter. The packaging for this lip butter is so luxury, and the
smell is pleasant cocoa butter. But unfortunately, that's all I like
about this product...I found the butter sat in the cracks in my lips
and looked, well, cheap! The only way I can get this butter to look
ok on my lips, is over a lipstick. Worth £24? Not in my books.
I actually really like
this blusher! Again, the packaging is so sophisticated. The mini
compact comes with a little mirror inside, which makes it great for
keeping in your handbag. The colour pay off is amazing, only needing
a little bit of the powder on your brush before applying. 10/10!
If you read the back of
the box for this mask, it is literally a list of the most confusing
ingredients I have ever heard of...the only sentence I can vaguely
get my head around is 'triple action resurfacing clay mask with
hexapeptide, glycolic and fruit acid and pro-biotic technology.' The
mask boasts purifying the skin and minimising the appearance of fine
lines. The smell of this mask is really fruity, which I like.
Overall, I like using this mask, but I think it's mainly because I
like using masks full stop, not because I think it performs miracles
on my skin...
I really enjoy using
these eye masks! They're so fun! These de-puffing bio-cellulose eye
masks hydrate and tone the delicate skin around the eyes, making you
feel fresh and awake. The product is full of a gel-like substance,
which after 30 minutes of leaving the masks under your eyes, your
skin has just sucked everything up. These are my favourite out of
everything I received.
Overall, I do enjoy
using these products and I'm over the moon I won the giveaway!
However, I don't think I would buy any of these products... Sure, I
like using them! But they are extremely expensive, and I think there
are other products, which are cheaper that do the same thing which
are more affordable for someone like me.
