BY TERRY HYALURONIC HYDRA POWDER {REVIEW}

Setting my make-up with a face powder is something that used to be

 such an important part of my daily make-up routine.

However that was back in the day and I haven't used a face powder

 since my late 20's.

In case you are wondering why I stopped using, I honestly

don't know, anyway I did, so it was nice to have this

BY TERRY 

HYALURONIC HYDRA POWDER

to try and I couldn't have chosen a better brand to reacquaint  

myself with a face powder.

Just to remind you this award winning product was part of a

 Cosmetips Influencer Beauty Edit 

and it isn't a product that I would have necessarily purchased on its own.

It's uniquely formulated with only 2 natural ingredients, as the

Hyaluronic Acid is combined with pure silica spheres.

This weightless translucent setting powder is enriched with 

Hyaluronic Acid 

(Hyaluronic acid is an amazing moisturising, plumping ingredient

 that locks in hydration to leave skin smooth and radiant. 

This low molecular weight is a moisture magnet that holds up to 1,000 times

 its weight in water, and penetrates deeper into the epidermis structure)

Silica absorbs shine and blurs imperfections.that instantly mattifies 

and blurs imperfections.

This multi-purpose silky powder will do the following:

Sets make up for long-lasting wear

Absorbs oil and reduces shine

evens out skin tones

Minimises pores

Fills in fine lines & wrinkles

blurs imperfections

It's suitable for all skin types, skin tones and ages.

100% Natural Ingredients

Clean vegan formulation

 Apply by patting onto zones in need of correction with fingertips or apply

 all over the face with the complexion brush.

I was taught back in the day that once you had applied, take your powder

brush and brush up the face and then brush down the face and this will

help to trap the fine particles under the fine facial hairs and help to

prolong the set of your make-up.

My oh my... 

face powders have come such a long way since I was an

 avid user and this particular one is comparable to applying silk to

 your skin.

It's super fine, weightless and just beautiful.

I was quite prepared to apologise for not being able to give you

any constructive feedback due to my lack of experience in using

face powders for the past 40 years, despite that I can honestly say

that this powder is pure powder bliss for the skin.

I'm not going to tell you that my skin looked absolutely flawless,

 as that's a tall ask at 62, but on a younger skin I'm sure it does.

My skin looked and felt good, it didn't feel dry and it certainly didn't 

sit in my lines and wrinkles, so that's certainly a 

WIN for the more mature woman amongst us...

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {JULY 2022}

 Hard to believe that it's July already and I have 3 products

to try, a serum, an eye make-up remover, an eye pencil and 

1 beauty aid in the form of re-usable make-up pads.

L-R

1.

BYTERRY

CRAYON KHÔL

I'm a huge fan of BY TERRY, so I would be very surprised if I

don't like this Khôl pencil.

It was an inclusion in the BYTERRY Beauty Advent Calendar, a calendar

 that just keeps on giving me the chance to try many of her great products.

This eye pencil/liner claims to be waterproof, have a precision tip,

 ultra creamy texture and a long lasting formula.

It won't take me too long to bring you my full review on this product.

2.

FACE HALO

They have been around for some time now, but I'm not sure

if they are available in South Africa, as I received mine in my

Harpers Bazaar Beauty Edit box last year.

The Face Halo is an eco-friendly re-usable pad that removes make-up

with only water and eliminates the use of around 500 cotton pads.

I'm excited to see if this pad really delivers on its "water only"

promise.

3.

DERMALOGICA

BIOLUMIN

BRIGHTENING

VITAMIN C SERUM

I always prefer, when possible, to use a vitamin c serum during

the winter months when the sun is less intense.

Dermalogica is a brand that I hold in high regard when it comes

to skincare products and I've reviewed several.

This high-performance serum claims to enhance the skin’s natural defence

 system to brighten, firm and help dramatically reduce the appearance 

of fine lines and wrinkles, so again I'm keen to try this product over the next

few months and report back to you.

L'OCCITANE

EYES & LIPS

BI-PHASIC REMOVER

I have been wanting to try this bi-phase eye make-up remover

for sometime, but I didn't want to part with R370 for a 100mls of product,

 that was until it recently came on a less 50% sale, so here we are.

Bi-phase removers are my favourite type for removing eye make-up 

and have used many, so expect my review fairly soon.

BY TERRY UV-BASE PRIMER SPF 50 {REVIEW}

 I cannot sing the praises enough of the Beauty Advent Calendars that

get launched annually overseas and in particular the 2021 offering

from BY TERRY, it has been such a good one for me, as its introduced

me to so many BY TERRY products that I would never had considered buying.

The BY TERRY UV-BASE PRIMER SPF 50 is one of those products

that wouldn't have been on my BY TERRY radar.

Primers are not high on my beauty agenda and I have only reviewed a 

couple over my blogging time, so when I saw this full size inclusion in the

calendar I was interested, but not hugely excited.

That was until I started to do some research and obviously try the product.

This ingenious skin-shielding primer

will PRIME, PERFECT and PROTECT your skin.

2 in 1 prime & protects  

High sun protection SPF 50

 Broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection

 Translucent / colourless

Perfect base for under makeup application

 Lightweight cream-gel texture 

Non-greasy formula

I was actually hooked once I had finished reading all of these benefits,

but above all it was the SPF 50 that really had my attention.

This product is suited to all skin types, the invisible, perfecting formula provides

 a high level of broad-spectrum SPF 50 and helps skin fight against external 

factors (pollution, UV rays, stress) thanks to antioxidant vitamin E and protective UV filters.

 The fresh, lightweight cream gel texture gives a non-greasy, dewy finish, 

providing the perfect canvas for all your make up application.

This is the perfect way to slot sunscreen into your regime without any of the 

hassle and ensure that your skin has the best protection possible, simply apply

 it daily before make up and you’re good to go.

I personally found myself loving this product just as my daily face SPF

irrespective of whether I was applying foundation or not.

Reviewing products on my blog has opened my eyes to so many

wonderful brands and products and I'm still always surprised when I 

discover I adore a product that I had convinced myself

that either I won't like or don't need, how wrong I can be...

BY TERRY LIP-EXPERT SHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK {REVIEW}

Another discovery from my BY TERRY Beauty Advent Calendar is

their LIP-EXPERT lipsticks and in particular the SHINE LIQUID formula

in the shade Rosy Kiss

As I've said before beauty advent calendars are such a great way to discover

both brands and products and my BY TERRY one has been an absolute

treasure of discoveries.

I did receive 2 other lipsticks in the LIP-EXPERT MATTE format,

which sadly weren't suitable shades, so I gave them away recently to

a lucky follower.

Inspired by the ever-alluring Parisian style, this high pigment vinyl gloss

 liquid lipstick creates a long-lasting glamorous statement look. 

Featuring a hydrating formula, this liquid lipstick includes a conditioning dose of vitamin E to keep the lips moisturised, soft and supple even after repeated application.

Formulated to keep your lips hydrated, this lipstick offers irresistible shine 

with a vibrant colour for plump and radiant lips.

Is there any product from BY TERRY that isn't good?

I feel that I have tried and reviewed so many and have still to come

across one that isn't good!

Whilst there are a couple that I wouldn't re-purchased, not because

 I didn't enjoy them, its just that over the years found even better that

have become my firm favourites.

The BY TERRY Micellar Water is one that springs to mind as I'm 

huge fan of the BIODERMA Micellar Water.

If you would like to catch up on my BY TERRY Reviews Click Here

Besides being my perfect shade (Rosy Kisss), 

I may have found my absolute favourite lipstick of all time...

The precise doe foot applicator makes application so easy and the buttery

 formula glides on beautifully and offers a full coverage in one coat.

I found the rich pigment to be long lasting and above all extremely 

comfortable and nourishing on the lips.

I do enjoy a shine finish and this shine formula is the perfect amount, 

so I highly recommend you check out the

BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE LIQUID LIP BALM {REVIEW}

BY TERRY

Baume de Rose 

Liquid Lip Balm

Having already tried, reviewed and loved the other 2 formats of

this cult-classic I was very happy indeed to receive this Travel-friendly 

liquid format as part of a Gift With Purchase last year.

To read my reviews

Baume de Rose Lip Balm Crayon

Baume de Rose Lip Balm Pot

A liquid version of the Baume de Rose Lip Balm, this Vitamin-rich balm 

offers intense moisturising and protection.

 Formulated with rose blossom essential wax that has powerful

 regenerative properties to combat dryness. 

Nourishing shea butter, antioxidant vitamin E and ceramides 

help strengthen and protect lips against everyday aggressors. 

Hyaluronic acid microspheres prevent lips from feeling dehydrated.

The non-sticky, creamy texture leaves a natural, glossy finish and

as expected from the Baume de Rose collection it has that

delicate rose scent, which instantly soothes the senses.

I was able to test this product thoroughly on my recent road trip 

and it was a great travel companion for my lips.

Perfect for quick and easy touch-ups on-the-go. 

It was the ideal size as it took up hardly any space in

my hand bag or pocket.

The velvety-rich formula glides on effortlessly and leaves a non-sticky

 glossy finish with a subtle shine. 

The Lips feel smooth, supple and soft. It also helps to soothe 

and repair the condition of dry, chapped lips.

This is a must-have that keeps lips intensely moisturised and 

protected whilst on-the-go. 

I was expecting great things from the Liquid Lip Balm as it carries a

premium price tag and my "great" expectations thankfully were met...

BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE MICELLAR WATER {REVIEW}

Baume de Rose symbolizes everything BY TERRY stands for:

 timeless, versatile, and ultra-luxurious skincare. 

From their iconic and decadent Baume de Rose Lip Balm to the nourishing

 and moisturizing Baume de Rose All-Over Oil, these rose skincare products 

contain the highest quality rose oils and rose water for glowing skin. 

This line of rose petal skincare, ideal for all skin types from sensitive

 and oily to dry skin. 

Roses are the true essence of their innovative French beauty products.

I have reviewed several wonderful Baume de Rose products already and if

 you would like to read my reviews Click here

This past week I have been putting to the test the

BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE MICELLAR WATER

This supercharged micellar water claims to effortlessly removes dirt and oil, cleansing skin at a micro-level to leave it thoroughly detoxed and renewed. Supercharged with hydrating and regenerating rose extracts, it boosts skins hydration levels by over 80%, leaving it perfectly clean, hydrated and

 refreshed without drying it out.

Micelle particles attract impurities and excess sebum like a magnet, engulfing 

and lifting them away to reveal freshly cleansed skin. 

Enriched with hydrating rosehip oil and regenerating pastel rose extracts, 

skin is left feeling comfortable and conditioned, perfectly prepped for toner.

Apply with a cotton compress. 

Gently sweep over facial contours to remove dirt and oil. 

Repeat as necessary. 

Do not rinse.

Follow up with Baume de Rose Beauty Toner.

Whilst I agree with many of the claims above I was left feeling a little

bit underwhelmed by this Micellar Water.

For me it just didn't have any WOW factor, it did its job but I was expecting

 more "Bang For My buck" (as it costs a lot of bucks)

Having reviewed many Micellar Waters over the years I keep reverting

back to the Bioderma Micellar Water, as it really is the best I've found so far.
