Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules

I don't normally wear an oil on my skin as it is known to get a little oily and certain products can make it worse, but recently it has been a little drier. So, when Elemis sent me these i was excited to give them a go. I have been using them for seven days, and can honestly say that my skin feel softer, healthier looking and make up looks amazing on. 

So, what can I tell you about these little beauties? Well, They have a unique formulation of pure moringa oil with absolute of rose for day (pink) and Lavender for evening (green). Why Moringa Oil? Well it's an antioxidant and is 1700% more powerful than any other cosmetic oil. Getting rid of all the oxidants in the skin allows nutrients to be absorbed into the skin. This then clears a pathway for the delivery of anti-aging products such as a day cream which contains pro-collagen to work to it's optimum. Elemis launched this product this month in these Limited Edition Supersized jars as it's the 10 year anniversary since they first came out. With this gift set you also get two little travel sized jars, perfect to take on holiday with you. Elemis have collaborated with the Wellbeing of Woman Charity and will be donating £15,000 from the sales of this collection. What a great reason to buy. 

The capsules just contain the right amount of product for each use.  The oil, which I imagined would be really running and not apply well, is actually quite thick in textures and obsorbes right away.  After just the first use I found my skin was glowing, but not in an oily way at all. They smell absolutely gorgeous.  I do love rose scented products. 

How to use: Apply morning and evening to cleansed and toned skin. Squeeze contents of the capsule into the palm of your hands and rub together to warm the oil and apply to face and neck. Follow with your regular moisturiser.  For best results use with an Elemis moisturiser.

I was sent a seven day sample to try but this Limited Edition Supersized gift set, containing 60 of each capsules is retailing at £79.50 (worth £124)

Elemis White Flowers Eye & Lip Makeup Remover

I don't usually use a separate eye makeup remover but I know how important it is to use one. The product is designed not to be harsh round the delicate eye area. I was very pleased to be sent this one from Elemis to try which is quite new to skin care scene.

This high tech makeup remover has been designed to be able to gently remove the most stubborn of makeup, including waterproof mascara.  Now, I wear Benefit They're Real Mascara. I love it. When it comes to removing it, it's awful. This takes it off in one clean sweep without excessive rubbing (which we know girls can cause premature lines) or irritating my eyes. The product is scent free and suitable for sensitive eyes. It have been formulated with the Bi-Phase that effectively removes makeup and lip colour, whilst delivering a clean, soft and hydrated after-feel.

So, why use Bi-phase products? Well, waterproof makeup combines pigments, pearls and oils and waxes which can be difficult to remove. This is because they are held together by a waterproof film. As you can see from the image below the product is split into two equal parts.  The oil phase (top), made up of nourishing emollient cleansing oils are essential to remove the make up and the water phase (bottom) helps rinse the oil away. This allows the water soluble activites of marine spring water and white flower extracts to be added to the formulation. 

To use, simply shake the bottle thoroughly mix the two part together. Apply to a cotton wool pad, hold over the eyes or lips and gently sweep away makeup. It feels really fresh on the eyes as is contains poeny extract which is said to cool, soothe and hydrate.

So overall this has definatly become an essential part of my Skincare routine and will be getting repurchased. I love it.

Have you tried it? What dot you think?
