As you all know: I have a sweet
spot for hyped up products. Today’s skincare post is no exception. Because
after hearing so many good things about the Una Brennan Super Facialist
Vitamine C range, I really wanted to try a few products myself.
The only problem was that it was
sold out everywhere. I actually had my eyes on the cleansing oil since Anna
from Viviannadoesmakeup raves about it all the time, but after visiting five
Boots stores I decided that the serum would do as well. That was also kind of
on my wish list, so I quickly payed and tried not to think about all the money
I spent that day. Queue my London haul in three... two.... one...
The Glow Boost Skin Serum is
supposed to give you a healthy glow and smoother, retexturized skin. The
combination of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and algae extract will boost the
collagen in the skin and make it more radiant, smoother and youthful looking.
Basically everything you want in a skincare product right? Now let's put it to
the test!
The scent is very orangey and I
kind of like it. Normally I am not about heavy scented products, but this
reminds me of something I used to have when I was younger. The formula itself
is really thin and you only need a small amount for the entire face. It applies
really nicely and I think the product by itself is amazing. I just don't think
my skin likes it very much.
I am supposed to get glowy, healthy
skin and it's kind of the opposite. I am afraid that I get an allergic reaction
if I use it longer than a couple of days, so I haven't used it for long periods
of time. Every time I use it the texture of my skin becomes really weird and it
feels like an allergic reaction will pop up in no time. I also feel like I get
more break-outs than usual which I think is because of this product.
I really wanted to love this
product and the range in general as well. I love glowy skin and I really hoped
this was going to be the product for me. I guess the hunt isn't over yet,
but I am sure I will find something that I love very soon!
Have you tried anything from the
Una Brennan Super Facialist range before?
What a great review! Must try :)
