A Cult Beauty Haul

One of my favourite places to shop for beauty products and discover new ones is Cult Beauty - if you haven't heard of it, it's a website that stocks high end beauty brands where the products have been tested and recommended by industry experts. I've never been disappointed by anything I've purchased from this site and I've found products that have simply amazed me. I had to make an order after a  couple of my trusty products started to run low, it ended up being quite a small but pricey order!

The first thing I added to my basket was the Odacite Clogged Pores Booster Serum (£22), a product I've had my eye on for a while. Don't be put off by the expensive price tag for this teeny tiny bottle, you don't need much and oils last forever! It basically works by binding to sebum blockages and embedded skin impurities to help minimise blackheads and blemishes, while flushing out all those skin toxins. I've been using this at night along with my night cream, and a few times a week as a more intensive treatment by massaging it directly into my skin. It smells beautiful and contains natural ingredients such as lavender, which has anti-bacterial properties to help combat the nasties that contribute towards skin imperfections, and jojoba oil which help to balance the skin and prevents excess oil production. My skin has been looking so much clearer since I introduced this into my evening skin care routine, it's one to check out if you have far from perfect skin.

The next product I added was the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint (£30), which is hands down my favourite ever base. This is my third tube of this lovely stuff and I can't get enough of it! The oil free formula contains antioxidants that allow congested skin to breathe, and it blends seamlessly into the skin to even out imperfections giving a dewy, matte finish that let’s my actual skin show through. This is seriously dream skin in a tube, the finish is just beautiful and gives me the complexion I've always dreamed of. I have a combination/oily skin type so my make up does tend to slide off after a few hours and my skin can feel quite greasy too, but this keeps my skin feeling fresh and comfortable all day, while keeping my complexion looking matte and shine free.

Lastly, another repurchase was the Anastasia Berverly Hills Brow Powder Duo (£17) as I finished my first one last week and I honestly can't live without it! Powder is definitely my preferred method of eyebrow application, I find it looks much more natural and is really easy to work with. I get so many compliments on my brows and it's all thanks to this duo -my natural brows aren't my best feature, but this transforms them into beautifully natural looking defined brows. I apply the powder using an angled brush to fill in any gaps and enhance my natural shape to make them look fuller and more defined. There are eleven colour ways available, I use the shade Ebony and the two complimentary colours blended together create the perfect match for me. 

What do you think of my latest purchases? Have you tried any of these?

  2. I'm thinking of buying the Matte Moisture tint just so I can mix it with the Luminising one! I can't stand matte skin on me, but sometimes LMT is just a little TOO glowy...
