Not wanting to spend hundreds on expensive stuff like Clinique, Lancome, SK-II and also not being really sure what exactly my skin needs, I turned to Silk Naturals.
I already use a daily moisuriser with a sunscreen (Olay Complete UV Protection Moisture Lotion in Sensitive), cleanse with either OHWTO's Black Magic or Dream Tree Soapworks Magic Mirror Facial Cleansing Bar. I exfoliate a few times a week with St. Ives' Apricot Invigorating Scrub and at night I use Roses Are Red Face and Eye Cream from Sobe Botanicals.
I decided to focus mostly on getting rid of my blackheads and combatting the sun damage under my eyes. These are the products I got from Silk Naturals:
Apricot Cleansing Oil
Facelift Serum (sample)
Hemp Moisturiser
Then of course, not skin-care related I purchased a Kisser Slicker Lipstick in Nectar (which is a dupe of Joeybunny's much-beloved Black Honey) and got not one, but TWO full-sized GWP eyeshadows and a blush sample (which I transferred into a jar).
I already know I'm going to be purchasing a full-size of the Vitamin C Peptide Serum rather than the Facelift that I sampled. I also wouldn't mind trying some of the other moisturisers. I will review the make-up when I'm back from Sydney, but I've never really reviewed skincare, and it's something you have to try consistently to see if it lives up to its claims. I've never used anything microderma...braising? or a serum before.
One thing I am impressed with is how affordable Silk Naturals products are - and the generous GWP system! They don't sell samples of their make-up which is, for me, one of the things I like most about indie make-up. They do sample skincare though, and honestly, their makeup is so well-priced and there are so many places you can find swatches online, I'm not really fussed about that so much any more.
Any skin-care reviewing tips you'd like to share? Have you tried anything from Silk Naturals?
I always wanted to try the skincare from Silk Naturals, but for some reason never got around to it. I remember wanting to try that Holy Crow wrinkle treatment since everybody praised it so highly. (I have cavernous genetic under eye lines, shhhhhh)
ReplyDeleteAaaah, FINALLY I found this post. I read it on my phone originally (where it doesn't let me do comments) and it inspired me to try this line, only I couldn't remember who it was who had talked about it!
ReplyDeleteI bought a bunch of samples for both myself and my teenybopper daughter and we both LOVED it. I just did a massive order of full sizes and some more samples to try last week - can't wait to get it, I've finished my samples and had to go back to all my regular crap now and I'm itching to get into it again!
