Products the bd team tested (and loved) this week.
La Biosthetique Patch Gel Liftant
I started using the La Biosthetique Patch Gel Liftant during Fashion Week when the different temperatures, long days and late nights were playing havoc with the health of my skin. The cell-active hydrogel eye pads were said to give an instant lifting effect – just what I needed! I’m now hooked. With none of the stickiness or excessive liquid associated with some patches, the Patch Gel Liftant pads feel refreshing from the moment they’re applied. My eyes look visibly brighter, less tired and more moisturised after using this product. With only two patches left in the box of 10, this is one product worth purchasing to make sure the good times keep rolling… - Yelena
I'll admit I was apprehensive about a gel eyeliner. Only just having made the transition from kohl to liquid, this new texture seemed a little intimidating to me. However, after a quick demonstration by my colleague, eyeliner whiz Michelle, I felt game enough to try it myself. It takes a couple of goes to understand how much product to put on the end of the brush, but fortunately the sharp tipped brush makes it easy to apply. Like a pencil, it is easy to control where the colour goes and the depth of it, but the Gel Liner also has the staying powder of a liquid. I love that I can control the weight of the liner depending how much I choose to apply. - Lucy
Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder
I use this powder to add extra luminosity to my skin. The Translucent powder has a subtle effect, but just enough shimmer to add a light glow to the skin. The powder does not contain glitter, so you won’t end up with tacky bits and bobs of random sparkles just under your nose or stuck under your eyes. It can also be used on the décolleté to add an extra glow. The compact travels well and comes with its own brush and mirror folded away underneath the formula so that it won’t get dirty. The powder also has a subtle but sweet fragrance and is available in a variety of shades. - Liz
QV Naked Antiperspirant Deodorant
While I'm not overly fond of the idea of sweating, I'm also a bit dubious about deodorants with anti-perspirant properties that stop the process. The QV Naked Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is a gentle option that uses sweat-activated crystals to reduce odour-causing bacteria. Given the sensitive nature of my skin, the mild formula of this product is well suited to me and I like that it's aluminum-, fragrance- and alcohol-free. The QV Naked deodorants come in both roll-on and aerosol packaging. - Michelle
