The BD team try Autumn's new releases.
Avène PhysioLift Smoothing Plumping Serum – Georgie
What it is: Avène PhysioLift Smoothing Plumping Serum is a serum that helps correct the appearance of pronounced wrinkles, deep furrows and loss of firmness and luminosity in ageing, sensitive skin.
My experience: Now I’m in my 30s I’m super conscious of ensuring there’s at least one dedicated anti-ageing product in my skincare routine. With concentrated ingredients that help plump the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, this product was something I could definitely get on board with. My main area of concern is my forehead and around my eyes, and after using the serum for around weeks, I can absolutely vouch for its effectiveness. The wrinkles on my forehead look less defined and the skin looks plumper, brighter and feels softer. As far as I’m concerned Avène produces some of the most beautiful skincare in the world. Everything from the texture to the gentle properties of its products make it such a versatile brand, effective for all different skin types. For any friends, family or colleagues looking to achieve plumper, softer skin will be getting this product recommended to them!
Remington Wet 2 Straight Straightener – Tiarne
What it is: Remington Wet 2 Straight Straightener is a hair straightener designed specifically for use on towel dried hair. Delivering a super-straight look that is 86% faster* than the current routine. The straightener features advanced ceramic plates infused with frizz resistant micro conditioners.
My experience: I have been using this straightener a few times a week after washing my hair. I had never used a wet to straight hair straightener before, so I was excited to try this out. I was also ecstatic that I didn’t have to worry about blow drying and then straightening my thick, frizzy hair the traditional way. Let’s just say I was very impressed with the results - it took a few goes at each section to get the hair completely dry, but the end result was lovely, straight, dry and shiny hair. It also eliminated flyaways and reduced frizz, so overall I am extremely impressed.
Elizabeth Arden Drama Defined Color Collection - Standing Ovation Mascara – Laura
What it is: A fibre infused mascara formulated to help achieve bigger, bolder lashes.
My experience: The super sized brush together with the fibre infused formula have definitely helped to amplify, build and curl my lashes. This mascara is smooth to apply and defines my lashes for a wide-eye effect. Beautiful luxe product I will save for special occasions, but I wish I could use it everyday.
L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Advanced Regenerating Serum – Zoë
What it is: a face serum that helps reveal new cells daily and prolong the visible vitality of skin.
My experience: This serum has changed my lacklustre skin as we come into winter. The serum is enriched with micro-reflectors which gave my tired skin an instant boost of radiance; and the addition of black truffle and fermented black tea to stimulate skin cell renewal has definitely improved my skin quality over the past couple of weeks.
Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix BB Cream – Tash
What it is: A BB cream to boost skin radiance and overcome signs of fatigue.
My experience: This BB cream is perfect for an everyday healthy-looking nude complexion. It is easy to apply, offers light to medium coverage, and is very hydrating, which I really need heading into the cooler seasons. This BB cream also helps control the 2pm sheen during my working day. Exciting new BB cream for an effortless fresh-faced look!
