BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE CRAYON {REVIEW}

Here is yet another BYTERRY product review and YES I am loving this 

French brand...so much.

If you would like to read all of my BYTERRY products reviews thus far

click here 

One of By Terry’s best-loved lines, Baume de Rose is a collection of 

Rose infused products that contain the highest quality rose oils 

and rose water for glowing skin.

 Ideal for all skin types from sensitive and oily to dry skin.

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

The Baume de Rose is an indulgent, multi-purpose lip balm 

which is adored by hordes of beauty editors, 

bloggers and the AAA-list and was one of the first BYTERRY products 

I purchased along with their Brightening CC Serum and my love for these

 two now iconic products set the BYTERRY "beauty ball" rolling for me.

 

Following my complete adjuration for the Baume de Rose in the pot format 

I was keen to try the same formulation in the stick/crayon option

BYTERRY 

Baume de Rose 

Crayon

  

 The nourishing treatment is brimming with rose flower essential wax 

and pastel oil, alongside conditioning shea butter, antioxidant vitamin E 

and strengthening ceramides, to encourage cellular regeneration

 and dispel dryness to leave lips feeling smooth and soft.

Easy to use, the crayon is an ideal travel companion and

so much more practical than the pot option.

The velvety-rich moisturising formula glides on smoothly and leaves 

a non-sticky finish with a subtle pink pearlised shine.

 You can apply it before lip colour to invisibly fill in lines and prevent lipstick 

from feathering or wear it alone for nourished, hydrated and supple lips.

However personally I'm not a huge fan of the pale pink cast it gives the lips 

when used alone.

If I'm completely honest, I do prefer the formula in the pot.

I find it to be more luxurious in texture and more nourishing, yet it can

sometimes feel a little sticky, which I don't mind. 

Even though it's not so handbag friendly

 I would recommend the purchase of the Baume de Rose Lip Balm

over the crayon if you are a first time buyer.

However if the crayon presentation appeals more to your lifestyle or you 

prefer your lip balms to be totally non sticky then it has to be the crayon.

As we've come to expect from BYTERRY 

you are getting an excellent product with either one.

N.B. 

I do have my eye on several BYTERRY additions for my collection including

 the Baume de Rose Lip Scrub and the Baume de Rose Liquid Lip Gloss.

BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE #TBT REVIEW

Since writing this review back in October 2019 my BYTERRY

collection has swollen somewhat, whilst my purse has seriously shrunk.

Seriously though this Luxe French brand has quickly become one of my faves,

 as they not only formulate products that are effective, but I have found 

them to be super radiance and glow enhancing for the more mature skins

amongst us.

I've since removed the LA MER Lip Balm from my luxe wish list, as

I have purchased and reviewed several other luxe lip balms, one of

which is the BYTERRY Baume de Rose Crayon, so to read that review

 click here

I will be reviewing many more BYTERRY products in the coming months

 following the opening of my BYTERRY Beauty Advent Calendar.

As always I have updated the prices or should I say ONE price, as yet 

again the South African price is the only one that has increased from

R830 to R970, which is just under a 17% price increase since

October 2019.

~~~~~~

I always have a forever changing "Luxe Beauty Wish List" and on that list

 are two rather pricey Lip Balms.

The one is from the French brand BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE and the other

 is LA MER The Lip Balm both have been highly praised by beauty editors and bloggers around the world and curiosity has gotten the better of me, 

so they're both on my list.

Earlier this year I treated myself to the

BYTERRY CELLULAROSE BRIGHTENING CC SERUM 

To read my full review

I absolutely love this product and on the strength of that I was able to tick 

off my list the

BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE

Baume de Rose Lip Balm 

is without doubt the Rolls Royce of lip care and being a Lip Balm Junkie 

I feel I can say that, after having many years of experience in trying all types 

of lip products ranging from drugstore offerings to high end indulgences. 

This product forms part of the Baume de Rose collection of products, so as

 one would expect the entire range is fragranced with a delightful delicate 

rose scent that soothes the senses.  

The balm has a velvety smooth texture and a non-sticky finish.

This balm harnesses the power of rose blossom essential wax to soothe and 

repair the condition of dry, chapped lips.

Enriched with Vitamins for intense moisturising this balm is both regenerative 

and protective.

Nourishing shea butter, antioxidant vitamin E and ceramides help strengthen

 and protect lips against everyday aggressors. Hyaluronic acid microspheres

 prevent lips from feeling dehydrated.

This balm has several ways to use:

Use fingertips and apply a generous amount over the lips.

 Use alone or apply under lip products as a base for a smoother lip finish.

 For a glossy effect apply over lipstick.

Massage into the nails and cuticles to make them feel softer and smoother 

For a more intensive lip treatment, apply a generous amount over the lips 

and leave to absorb overnight.

I tried all of the above ways of application with the exception of massaging it 

into my cuticles, as I was way too mean to use my precious lip balm

 on my nails, but apparently it has great results.

My preferred way of application is to leave overnight, which works exceptionally

 well on drier lips, but this product miraculously leaves your lips looking great 

and feeling softer any way you apply it.

I understand that with an R830  R970 price tag for this multi purpose lip balm

 doesn't fall into everyone's budget, but if it does then this is definitely one

 to add to your beauty wishlist.

I have no regrets about my purchase, however I do have one looming problem,

as I'm already starting to worry about the day my pot is empty...

BYTERRY 

is available exclusively in South Africa from Metropolitan Cosmetics and 

they have 3

beautiful boutiques in Sandton,Hyde Park Corner and Melrose Arch and for

 those living in other areas of SA, you can order online.

They stock several niche skincare and fragrance brands including 

Dr Sebagh

Zelens

Tan-Luxe

StriVectin

Jack Black

DELAROM

If you don't have any overseas trips planned or don't want to get involved in ordering direct from overseas due to the erratic customs charges we face 

or you can't get a cosmetic mule to bring back for you then 

Metropolitain Cosmetics is the answer.

After much research regarding overseas pricing, especially on the 

BYTERRY range 

the price you pay in SA is around 10% more than the UK for 

example

 (based on the todays rate £1= R18.69)

Which is far less than the 3rd retailer websites we have in SA, which I refuse

 to buy from due to their exorbitant pricing structure.

BYTERRY HYALURONIC HYDRA-FOUNDATION #TBT REVIEW

I find it hard to believe that I wrote my review on this BYTERRY foundation

over 2 years ago. I have since re-purchased, as it is one of my favourites.

Let me know if you have also tried it, as I would live to hear...

~~~~~~

Over the last couple of years I've become a little obsessed with BYTERRY products, 

whether it be her skincare or make-up.

Having been lucky enough to have been sent some of her products as PR from 

Metropolitan Cosmetics.

I have also purchased several and I will leave the Pink Link below so you can catch 

up on my previous reviews. 

To read my BYTERRY product reviews

Thankfully BYTERRY products are available exclusively in South Africa at

 Metropolitan Cosmetics

and they have an excellent online delivery service, if like me you don't live near 

one of their 3 beautiful Johannesburg stores.

Now this particular treatment foundation has  been on my beauty wish list since

its launch back in 2019 and I managed to place an order during lockdown.

BYTERRY Hyaluronic Hydra-Foundation

As usual I had heard so many rave reviews and that always makes me a little

wary, but upon reading the wonderful benefits of this super charged

foundation I couldn't settle until I had tried it for myself.

Promoted as hardworking, luminous and weightless, which I 100% agree with, the Hyaluronic Hydra-Foundation floods skin with moisture, delivering seamless coverage

 with an ultra-fine texture. 

Even though its formulated to suit all skin types, it's a particularly good foundation 

for dry skin, working to plump out wrinkles and fine lines and create a matte luminous finish, 

now I'm not aware of too many mature women that enjoy a matte finish 

from their foundation, as I'm sure most will agree, that we need all the glow we can muster 

from our skincare and make-up, so don't be put off by the "matte" word 

as the foundation contains light-reflecting pigments that create that

"lit-from-within" luminous glow.

This unique formula infuses the skin with Hyaluronic Acid to trap moisture like a magnet, 

locking it into the skin for long-lasting hydration. 

Special ‘Skin-Fit’ technology controls shine and ensures the formula stays 

put all day while SPF30 protects against UV rays.

They don't have an extensive range of shades only 15 and they're broken down into

 5 Cool, 5 Neutral and 5 Warm tones and to help you in choosing 

the correct shade when you order online from Metropolitan Cosmetics 

they thoughtfully include a sample of your ordered shade, so you can test before 

you actually open the full size, thus allowing for a return.

This worked perfectly for me and I was a match for 

300N (medium fair neutral)

The easy to use a dropper delivers a precise custom application tailored to the 

look you want, is a feature that I've been enjoying, so:

2 drops for sheer coverage 

4 drops for medium coverage

 6 drops for full coverage.

Can be applied with a beauty sponge, foundation brush or your trusty fingertips.

This product has a Vegan formula with no animal-derived ingredients.

Even though this foundation is on the runny side, which did take a little getting

used to, it didn't disappoint and lived up to all my expectations, as it seems 

everything that I have tried from BYTERRY does.

As I'm getting older I find myself gravitating more to a treatment foundation,

one that has skincare benefits combined with a more natural 2nd skin feel and one that

doesn't settle into my pesky lines and wrinkles and I think BYTERRY 

have nailed it with this product.

Treatment foundations unfortunately come in more expensive and this little 

skin plumping gem from BYTERRY is no exception, but it's a shift in the 

beauty budget that needs to be factored in, as our skin ages and its

one I'm happy to do...

BYTERRY BRIGHTENING CC PALETTE BEACH BOMB {REVIEW}

 Despite admiring this palette from afar, it wasn't on my wish list 

or even available in South Africa at the time when I first laid eyes on this

 beautiful product. 

BYTERRY 

BRIGHTENING CC PALETTE 

BEACH BOMB

That was until recently when the exclusive retailer of BYTERRY products

in South Africa Metropolitain Cosmetics

sent me an e.mail to announce that this palette was

"Coming Soon", which was then closely followed by another announcement

 that they would be offering a 20% discount site wide and as you can imagine

 this prompted my order along with their newly launched 

BYTERRY HYALURONIC-HYDRA CONCEALER

To read my concealer review

If you've been around here for a while you will already know that

I'm a huge fan of BYTERRY products and my collection is growing very nicely

and if you would like to read my previous product reviews Click Here

To be absolutely honest I did not need anymore face palettes, but I found this 

one hard to resist, as its beauty extends to the box, the palette and the 

contents making it a "must have" for me.

I very much doubt I will regret this purchase...

This Limited edition ‘Beach Bomb’ Brightening CC Palette will help

you achieve a sunny and glowy complexion in time for summer.

Simply put...

 it's a brightening powder, glowy blush, cheek highlighter 

and bronzer all in one! 

As with many of the BYTERRY make-up products it has a skincare infused

 formula and is enriched with rose extracts.

 

Presented in a rose-gold embossed palette, which just oozes luxury, feels

so comfortable in the hand and has a great large magnifying mirror in the lid,

 which I do use, as many I don't.

The beautiful highlighting textures have been created to give your skin

 its glow back, especially after winter when our skin generally looks lacklustre.

 Its bronzed finish will correcting any dullness and the 

‘Optical Glow’ technology and skincare benefits of rose-hip oil 

minimise imperfections, intensify skin radiance, neutralise redness

 and create a flawless finish.

This palette is all about the

Special ‘Optical Glow’ technology which feature soft-focus micro-spheres

 and colour correcting pigments that result in a flawless, bronzed finish, 

while light-reflecting prisms lift the complexion and is suitable for all

skin tones.

All of the 4 shades are just exquisite and I did anticipate that 1 or 2

of the shades would be favoured more than the others, but I'm happy

 to report back that all the colours have been used equally either on the 

cheeks, face and I often apply as eyeshadow.

The colour pay off is good and true and they're easy to apply and blend.

The inclusion of the Rose-Hip oil can be felt in the formulation as these

powders do not feel dry, they feel slightly buttery.

The palette also has that delicate signature BYTERRY rose scent, but

it's nothing intrusive and didn't worry me at all, even on my eyelids.

As always BYTERRY has created another product that I adore and my 

love for this brand just keeps on growing with every product I review.

Do I regret buying, definitely NOT!
