Product: BeautyPie Pro Angled Concealer Brush Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: This is not just a concealer brush After one week: Excellent After one month: Best brush so far Stockists: BeautyPie I bought this to use with the Super Luminous Under Eye Genius which it is great at applying, I also used it to blend the foundation which again it did with perfection. To me this brush can be used with any liquid or cream be it foundation, highlighter, bronzer or eyeshadow. It is for those time when you want more coverage or to apply it in smaller areas or contours of the face. With blusher or bronzer you could you a larger brush to soften any hard edges that it may create.

Product: BeautyPie Deluxe Precision Liquid Eyeliner - Black Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: Lovely felt tip nib After one week: Not sure After one month: Must be me Stockists: BeautyPie My go to look is eyeliner, mascara and brows.  I had hoped this would be the one especially to help create the perfect flick.  As you can see on the photo that I put it on my hand it wicked up the fine lines that I have,  It did the same with my eyelids which made it look like I had been crying.  I tried it with an eyeshadow primer, powder you name it I tried and I still had the same problem.  So liquid liners are not for me.  This did apply smoothly and last but I just have wrinkly hooded eye lids.  It great as it can be used to create the perfect flick, thin and thick lines.

Product: BeautyPie Everyday Great Skin Foundation Light Medium Samples Who for: Anyone and everyone who wants a lightweight foundation that has a matte finish First impressions: They are all too dark for me  After one week: Not applicable After one month: Not applicable Stockists: BeautyPie I have a love hare relationship with foundation, I love the way it looks on everybody else, but I hate it on me. Why? I can never find a shade that is quite right for me even the paler shades are darker on me. They oxidise over time whether I apply primer or not, they disappear. As you can see when I applied them before blending them, they all were a little too dark for me. Blended there was a slight improvement. I have taken photos after an hour and after four hours. I used the BeautyPie Pro Angled Concealer Brush to blend it in. After hours wear, I could feel my skin tightening where I had placed the foundation. Again., as can be seen in the photos below they are not a match to my skin tone as...

 Product: BeautyPie Triple Hyaluronic Acid Elastic Lifting Eye Serum Who for: Anyone who wants their eye area to look firm and lifted without surgery First impressions: A little goes a long way After one week: Look more awake After one month: Eye area looks so much better Stockists: BeautyPie With using eye drops on a daily basis I have noticed that they dry out the delicate area around my eyes and my age I have to use an eye cream and this own has the benefit of temporarily lifting my hooded eyes which makes any eyeshadow or eyeliner I wear better.  My eye area looks brighter, less puffy and luminous.  I have tried eye creams in the past both this and BeautyPie Uber Youth Super Eye Energy Peptide-Infusion Cream I have noticed a difference in my eye area that I like and will be carrying on with them.

  Product: BeautyPie SuperDose C C – Suite Rapid Action Power Brightener   Who for: Improving firmness, elasticity, reduce pigmentation, inhibit age spots.   First impressions: Smells like bacon flavoured crisps.   After one week: Can see an improvement.   After one month: Wish I had been using this earlier.   Stockists: BeautyPie   Why did I buy this, well that is simple I have heard about trans acid, and I you watch a lot of hospital programmes like me you will hear them mention it so if it is available to use in skincare why not also, I wanted to try a Vitamin C, so I got a product that combined both.  I started with four drops a day as part of my morning routine as I had not used this type of product before, and it had been a while since I had used a Vitamin C.  I used this amount for at least a week then I increased it by one drop for another week and now I use six drops a day after using the eye cream.  I will...

  Product: BeautyPie Uber Youth Super Eye Energy Peptide-Infusion Cream   Who for: For visible wrinkle smoothing, reducing puffiness,   First impressions: Love the texture.   After one week: Eye area looks so much better.   After one month: Can see a difference in the eye area.   Stockists: BeautyPie   OK.  This is the first proper eye cream I have used in a while and thought that it was about time as wearing a mask when out and about have made me aware of how my eyes look.  I thought wearing glasses covered it, but it does not.  I noticed an improvement in the texture of the skin under my eyes.  Yes, I only apply it to under eye area at the moment as I am applying serum for my brows.  A small amount goes along way and is a gel cream texture which my eye area loves and looks so much better with the use of this.  It is the first step after cleansing as I have found that I that I am less likely to for...

Product: BeautyPie Uber Youth Super Elixir Microbiome Mist Who for: Anyone who wants to improve their skin barrier. First impressions: Fine mist After one week: Skin feels less sore. After one month: Skin feels healthy. Stockists: BeautyPie I bought this as my skin has been problematic for me during the lockdown as well as peeling with the prescription from Skin+Me.  This has been so helpful in improving not only looking but also feeling so much.  I must use eye drops every two hours for dry eye so I will spray my face after just them.  And within a day I noticed a difference with the look of my skin, within a week the texture of my skin looked so much better.  Must admit that my Cocker Spaniel loves it too.  The smell is insane, that it helps me focus.  Two sprits are enough for each application, and it is great when it is hot which is not too often here in the United Kingdom.  It will be repurchased when I have finished it.

  Product: BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Repair Treatment   Who for: Anyone and everyone   First impressions: Thick enough to cover every hair strand thin enough not weigh the hair   After one week: Hair feels nourished   After one month: Hair looks and feels nourished   Stockists: BeautyPie   Most of my hair purchases recently are to help repair any damage that I am doing to my hair by bleaching it as I am bored of being salt and pepper – I have been blue now I am grey.  I bought this as I hoped it was a version of Phillip Kingsley Elasticiser and I was wrong to me it is an improved version that can be used as a conditioner rather than a pre-shampoo.  It smells lovely and feels like thick whipped cream.  I use a fifty pence piece size of the conditioner all over my hair as it is short if it was longer I would apply it to the middle lengths and ends at first then after about five minutes I would apply some to the roo...

  Product: BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Nourishing Shampoo   Who for: Anyone who wants to look after their hair   First impressions: Feels and smells luxurious   After one week: Hair feels healthy   After one month: Hair feels and looks healthy   Stockists: BeautyPie   I bought this to help my hair stay healthy as I have been bleaching and I mean bleaching my hair – using a bleach that lifts my hair by eight levels.   I have seen so many TikToks and Instagrams of people losing chunks of their hair and my hair is pixie short.   And if I lost any hair it will be noticeable.   Some of these shampoos in my previous experience have made my hair feel knotty after the first shampoo, this did not my hair felt cared for.   It lathers well and washes out well leaving my hair feeling clean not squeaky clean but healthy clean.   I use the size of a fifty pence piece both times I shampoo my hair once a week.   I...

  Product: BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Moisturising Conditioner   Who for: Anyone and everyone   First impressions: Will it weigh my hair down   After one week: Love it   After one month: Love it   Stockists: BeautyPie   As I have mentioned during lockdown, I started bleaching my hair.  This is the perfect conditioner for anyone who dyes their hair.  This is lightweight enough to nourish and moisturise my hair but thick enough that three pumps are enough to cover my pixie haircut.  I have used it after BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Nourishing Shampoo and BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo it is the perfect partner to both shampoos.  It does not weigh my hair down once I have allowed it to dry it naturally.  With some conditioners like this my hair would feel greasy with this conditioner it did not.  It looked and felt healthy, kept its style.  I also noticed that my hair did not knot...

  Product: BeautyPie Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo Who for: Anyone and everyone   First impressions: Oh, wonder what it will do   After one wash: Hair feels soft and healthy   After one month: Hair feels soft and healthy, colour slightly faded   Stockists: BeautyPie   During lockdown I have been bleaching and using a semi-permanent dye/conditioner to change my hair colour.  I bought this I wanted a shampoo that will clean my hair and allow the bleach to work better without damaging my salt and pepper hair too much.  I use this shampoo the week before bleaching my hair and have noticed that the bleach takes better.  I love the smell it is not too vinegary which I was a little worried about.  My hair feels soft after the first shampoo, and even softer after the second.  It washes out easily and there is no residue or foam left.  This is now part of my haircare arsenal.

  Product: BeautyPie One Powder Wonder Who for: Anyone and everyone First impressions: Scary – my face will look white After one week: Love it After one month: Love it Stockists: BeautyPie I have watched Nadine Baggot recommend this product on numerous occasions, so I bit the bullet and bought it.   Oh, I am glad that I did.   I was worried that my skin would feel dry and tight as it has done with other powder-based products as my skin can be dry.   I should not have worried and no, my face does not look white or pasty just healthy.   I use it to set my concealer under my eyes and on my T-zone if I feel a bit shiny.   But the one thing I like to use it on my eyelid to set my primer and over the top of my gel eyeliner to set it so that it does not transfer onto my skin just below my eyebrow as I have hooded eyes.   It is one of those powders that can be put in your handbag just in case you want to refresh or retouch up certain areas.

Product: BeautyPie Jeju Daily Rehydration Mist+ Who for: Anyone who wants the ability to refresh and hydrate their skin First impressions: Cooling and refreshing mist After one week: Skin looks hydrated After one month: TBC Stockists: BeautyPie   This was my PieDay offer and I am glad that I bought it.  At the beginning of the lockdown, my skin became sore and dry.  This within a day’s use had reduced the soreness of my skin which helped with the dryness and tight feeling of my skin.  I use it at least every four hours.  I have a reminder on my phone to administer my eye drops for my dry eye, so I just add to spray my face after I had administered the drops.  The spray has also helped with the soreness and dryness on my eyelids.  I have also found that the itchiness of my eyelids reduced when I sprayed my face, just remember to hold it at arm’s length and do not press too hard otherwise instead of a gentle mist, it will be as if you are s...

  Product: BeautyPie Brazilian Lime and Fig Leaves Tea Fragrance Who for: Anyone First impressions: Sweet musky smell After one week: Love it After one month: Love it Stockists: BeautyPie I must be careful with the type of fragrance I wear as can have an allergic reaction.  I do not wear fragrance/perfume on my skin because of this I spray them onto the tops that I am wearing.  I like fragrances that last.  This is the second fragrance I have tried from BeautyPie and I am not disappointed.  The smell starts as a sweet musky smell and mellows to those comforting nuzzling smell that lingers and as you move you can get a waft of it which reminds you well me how inviting and caressing while wearing this.  This is the type of fragrance that you will wear for any event day or night, wearing smart casual or jeans or formal.  It will be your go-to fragrance.  I know that it is mine.

Bottle of  BeautyPie Plantastic Micropeeling Super Drops Who for: Anyone who wants to keep spots at bay, pores refined and brighter glowing skin First impressions: Very easy to apply After one week: Spots are not as noticeable After one month: Skin looks healthier Stockists: BeautyPie I use this every day a week before my period is due to help combat the occasional hormonal spots I get.   The first month I used it I didn’t really notice much difference.   But by month two the hormonal spots didn’t arrive.   I don’t get many spots but when I do, they are painful.   This has not just reduced the severity of them but also how long they last for.   I also use them once a week to help brighten and smooth my skin.   Also, for those mornings when you feel your skin needs a little extra help to look its best.   These drops should be in everyone’s skincare arsenal.

👀 BeautyPie Supercolour Eye Liner - Black Who for: Anyone who wants soft smudgy eyeliner look First impressions: Looks like any other eyeliner After one week: Perfect for all eyeliner looks After one month: So adaptable Stockists: BeautyPie I was looking for an eyeliner that I could smudge or leave how I had drawn the line on that wouldn’t budge.   This is it.   I can use it to draw a flick and line or just a line and smudge it.   Even drawing a simple fine line and not smudging it can be done with this eyeliner.   I like to vary how I apply my eyeliner on a daily basis.   I like that this pencil has a built-in smudger so no need to carry around an extra one.   It doesn’t leave a black line between my crease and eyebrow like some eyeliners I have used in the past have done.   It doesn’t crease or fade like other eyeliners.   Once applied it stays where I have put it – no panda eyes at the end of the day (which isn’t a n...

👀 (L) BeautyPie Steely Taupe Wondercolour Longwear Cream Shadow Stick (R) BeautyPie Velvet Wondercolour Longwear Cream Shadow Stick  Who for: A smudge proof, crease proof matte cream matte eyeshadow First impressions: They seem darker in the bullet with a slight shimmer After one week: The most perfect cream eyeshadow I have used After one month: It lasts and doesn’t crease Stockists: BeautyPie Because of my Dry Eye and MGD, I have had to stop wearing powder shadows.  I wanted a matte cream eyeshadow that wouldn’t budge, or crease and I think I found it in these shadows.  They are creamy, easy to apply straight from the bullet or with a brush.  They can be blended to create a smoky eye or patted onto the eyelid using a finger to create a light wash of colour.  They can be worn together or separately.  Once applied they didn’t crease or smudge or move as some eyeshadows have done.  I still had them on when I was completing ...

Products received in box: JapanFusion Pure Transforming Cleanser, Super Healthy Skin Daily Moisture Lotion, JapanFusion Hydra Prep Lotion, Super Stem Cell Moisture Shot Serum JapanFusion Pure Transforming Cleanser I love this cleanser.  To me this is better than Liz Earle C&P, which I think has changed formulation.  This cleanser is a great first cleanse or second cleanse.  It removes makeup without much effort.  I have used it to remove Benefit Mascaras and IT Cosmetics Superhero.  I like that I apply it to dry skin and depending on how I feel I can either add water and emulsify it or take it off with a damp muslin cloth.  My skin feels hydrated and soft after using it and it doesn’t irritate my eyes. JapanFusion Hydra Prep Lotion This is the perfect lotion to follow with after cleansing my face.  If you don’t like fragrance you may not like this as there is a slight fragrance to it, but it does disappear within se...

Packaging and tube of BeautyPie Super Retinol (+ Vitamin C) Night Renewal Moisturiser  This is a light-weight cream that packs a mighty punch.   It is easily absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue.   I used one pump for my neck and one pump for my face.   When I woke up in the morning my skin felt soft and hydrated, fine lines looked reduced.   Over the month that I have been using it I have noticed that my skin elasticity had improved and seemed brighter.   It works well with the Superactive Capsules though I would wait for them to be absorbed into the skin before applying the cream.   This cream is in my top ten of night creams and will be re-purchased before I have finished this one as I don’t want to run out of it.
