Curél Intensive Moisture Facial Cream

Image
Tub of Curé l Intensive Moisture Facial Cream   Who for: Anyone who has dry sensitive skin First impressions: Very lightweight After one week: Skin feels soft and comforted After one month: To be updated Stockists: Curél, Boots This is the final product in the trial set that I had bought from Boots.  A grape sized amount of the cream is enough to moisturise my face, neck and décolleté.  This is called a cream, but I would say that it is a gel/cream that can easily be absorbed into the skin without leaving a residue.  I noticed the first day that I used the regime that my skin felt and looked healthy, soft and hydrated.  Some creams I need to reapply if I have been out in the cold weather that the UK is having at the moment, but I don’t with this as my skin feels hydrated and comforted all day long.  Even the area around my eyes looks a lot better – less dry and smoother.  Can’t wait to try the other two products in the rang...

Curél Moisture Facial Lotion Enrich

Bottle of Curél Moisture Facial Lotion Enrich Who for: Anyone who has dry, sensitive skin First impressions: Is it a toner or moisturiser After one week: Skin absorbs it quite quickly After one month: To be updated Stockists: Curél, Boots This is the first step in moisturisation in the routine.   I wasn’t sure if I should apply it with my fingers or a cotton pad.   So, I tried with my fingers and 6 splashes of the lotion.   I found that 6 is a bit much for my face, neck and décolleté.   My skin loves it and I have noticed a difference in the hydration and sensitivity of my skin.   I use 5 splashes both morning and night after I have cleansed my skin using either both of the cleansers or just one, taking time to massage it in using circular strokes.   Again, I will be buying the full size once I have finished the trial kit.

Curél Foaming Facial Wash

Bottle of Curél Foaming Facial Wash Who for: Anyone with dry and sensitive skin First impressions: Fine foam that won’t dry my skin After one week: One pump is enough After one month: To be updated Stockists: Curél, Boots This is the second cleanser that was in the trial kit that I bought from Boots.   This is great to use as a second cleanse at night following the Makeup Cleansing Gel or on its own as a morning cleanse.   It is recommended to use two pumps of the cleansing foam, but I found that it was too much for my skin and that it was better to use one pump.   As this is massaged into the skin it becomes a finer foam that feels like thick cream on my skin.   Instead of splashing off both the Makeup Cleansing Gel and the Foaming Facial Wash I used my faithful muslin cloth, which removed them perfectly without leaving any residue.   I could also take the foaming wash over my eyes and lashes without irritating them which is grea...

Curél Makeup Cleansing Gel

Image
Tube of Curél Makeup Cleansing Gel Who for: Anyone who has dry and sensitive skin First impressions: A little goes along way After one week: Skin feels less sore After one month: To be updated Stockists: Curél, Boots I am one of those that likes to try something new especially if it is something for dry and sensitive skin.   This is part of dry oil rather than a gel.   I shouldn’t have been worried as this melts into a lovely oil that removes every bit of eye makeup even two layers of Benefit BADgal Bang and their Badgal liner.   For me a test of a good cleanser is the ability to open my eyes to look in the mirror and it doesn’t irritate my eyes.   This didn’t which is great.   I was able to use the gel to clean my lashes which is perfect for me.   I have noticed that my dry eye and soreness of my eyes has improved since using this.   Once I have used the trial kit, I will be purchasing the full size of this.

Revolution The Liner

Revolution The Liner Who for: Anyone who wants to accentuate their lashes First impressions: Fine tip that can create different widths After one week: Great for the flick and fine lines After one month: Like the ability to create different looks Stockists : Revolution Beauty, Superdrug I bought this as I wanted to create a flick and I didn’t have my favourite Benefit Roller Liner.   This is a great alternative.   I like that I can get really close to my upper lashes and that I can create a thin line or thick line depending on how I hold the pen.   The ability to use the tip to create the perfect flick is great.
