I was really pleased when I was sent the Balance Me Beauty Hyaluronic Plumping Primer & Tri-Molecular Hyaluronic Serum in time for Spring / Summer and have been working them into my routine over the last few weeks.
Let's take a look at the primer first shall we?
The texture is silky and velvet-like and it feels really nice to apply, it sinks into the skin really well and creates a lovely canvas for makeup. It feels hydrating and smooths over the skin, making it look refined and blurred - a great one if, like me, you have visible pores.
It contains Acacia Gum Complex to plump the skin, this also helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with a skin-tightening effect. Medium to high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid creates a protective, hydrating shield to improve skin moisture levels and elasticity.
The formula also contains Acmella Oleracea, which is a natural alternative to botox, this helps to relax the facial muscles and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines with continuous use - while I haven't used it consistently enough to see these benefits, I shall report back soon!
I've tried many primers over the years that are aimed at minimising pores and shine and found then mostly to be quite drying leaving my face feeling and looking very flat, matte and tight. What I like most about this primer is that it creates a hydrated yet mattified finish (think airbrushed effect) and helps minimise that dreaded oily shine too.
The primer is a new launch for the brand (launched 8th May) and is available direct, here, priced at £26.00.
Let's move onto the serum now, it contains three naturally derived forms of Hyaluronic Acid which when combined are more effective than the single ingredient Sodium Hyaluronate or Hyaluronic Acid.
Some other goodies in it;
Aloe Vera tackles inflammation and quenches dehydration
Chamomile Water calms sensitivity and restores comfort
Yarrow soothes sore and irritated skin, while also reducing redness
This is what it claims to do;
Noticeable skin rejuvenation and reduction in appearance of fine lines
Instant hydration and remarkable smoothing properties
Increased suppleness and optimal smoothness in one hit
It gives skin an instant burst of hydration which you can feel the effects straight away which I like and I don't necessarily feel the need for anything additional for hydration.
The serum is £30.00 and available from Boots.com, here.
The brand has recently launched online with Boots and is in some selected stores too.
Balance Me is free from parabens, mineral oils, sulphates, pegs, petroleum, silicones, propylene glycol, microbeads, artificial fragrances and colours. And they never test on animals. The Co founders Clare & Rebecca want to continue spreading their natural beauty portfolio for as many people to enjoy as possible.
Have you tried anything from Balance Me before?

This is how my pal Wesley Virgin's tale launches in this SHOCKING and controversial video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same tactics lots of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.
You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
That's because most of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.
Maybe this expression has even occurred INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a vehicle with a suspended license and $3.20 in his bank account.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I become successful?"
You've taken part in those thoughts, isn't it so?
Your own success story is going to start. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
