Products the bd team tested (and loved) this week.
Advanced Marine Biology Eye Gel
After visiting the La Prairie offices a few weeks ago for an afternoon of brand education and product trialling, we were all given some products from the Advanced Marine Biology range to take home. Since then, I’ve been a regular user of their Eye Gel and Revitalizing Emulsion. The products feel incredibly hydrating both on application and in the aftermath. The eye gel is really cooling and soothing and makes my eyes feel firmer and more awake. The Revitalizing Emulsion is a cream-gel moisturiser and has a super light feel on the skin. On application, I can actually feel my skin lapping up its hydrating qualities. For a refreshing skincare choice, these products are perfect. – Yelena
WOTNOT Facial Wipes
Facial wipes are a pretty new thing for me as I've previously steered clear of them because they irritate my sensitive skin and seem a bit rough. Enter WOTNOT Facial Wipes. They are really gentle on my skin - especially my eyes - and still remove make–up quite easily. They contain certified organic aloe vera and rosehip and sweet almond oils which hydrate and feel soft on the skin. Because the wipes are 100 per cent natural there's no parabens, sulphates petrochemicals, chlorine or artificial fragrances. I'm using the hard travel case which fits a refill of 20 wipes and has a handy mirror on the back. Perfect for the bag, car and desk! - Michelle
Innoxa Lovely Lips Mineral Lipstick in Apricot Tulip
I've never been confident enough to wear a bright lip. No matter how "finished" beauty editors assure it'll make me look, I can't push past the fear that it's going to end up all over my teeth, face and clothes. Until I found this gorgeous pinky/coral hue from Innoxa. It's the perfect fusion between pink, orange and red, making it a great match for just about any make-up look. The best part is, the mineral formula contains jojoba oil and sunscreen to ensure it's benefitting my lips in addition to making them pop. And just like that, I'm into bright lippy! - Lucy
I experience a fair bit of irritation under my arms, so I was excited to hear that NIVEA had released a new formula specifically for sensitive skin in this area. This deodorant is my solution, as I don’t experience any irritation at all when I wear it. Other things I like about the deodorant is that it has a fresh fragrance that makes me feel clean and it doesn’t leave any white patches behind. It also keeps me smelling fresh all day. It’s a new winning solution for those with sensitive under arms. – Liz
