The Hero Project

-
I was very happy to be sent some samples from The Hero Project recently.  The Hero Project is a relatively new British company whose mission is to solve our beauty problems and find out what skincare lovers really want in order to produce products that fit that need.  They want to give us consumers products that really work and help us reduce our mega stashes of beauty products.  It's like a capsule wardrobe of skincare.  So far they have only made 6 products and I was sent 3 of them to try.
The Hero Project
Hyasoft Instant Moisture Boost* - £19 for 30ml
This is a clear oil free moisturiser which can be applied morning and night, by itself or before your day and night cream.  It's a gel formula which is fragrance free and absorbs into my skin quickly without leaving a greasy residue.  It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth with no dry areas.  The active ingredients are multi-moleculer Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol (Vitamin B5).

Glow Drops Dry Touch Facial Oil* - £24 for 30ml
This oil is a blend of 10 natural essential oils and vitamin c that helps to smooth, nourish and brighten your skin.  Just massage 2-3 drops into your skin and follow with moisturiser.  My skin tends to be dull and uneven and I found that this facial oil did help to brighten up my complexion.

This product contains a powerful 30% Ethylated Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) which helps to restore clarity to skin and improve evenness and brightness.  It helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and also protects the skin from further damage.  Just add 3-4 drops onto your clean face, neck and décolletage, then follow with a moisturiser, or facial oil.  They do mention that when you apply the serum you may feel it on your skin, such as a slight tingle.  This just means the product is getting on with it’s job.

After using Vit C-30 Ultra Brightening Serum, my skin definitely looks brighter and the tone is much more even.  There are no dry patches on my face either.  I am lucky that I don’t have many fine lines and no wrinkles so I cannot comment on how well this product works on those areas.

If you are not sure about committing to the expense of buying the full size products, The Hero Project has a pick-n-mix option where you can buy travel size versions (8 - 10ml) of all 3 products for £30 which is a great idea.

The Hero Project is against animal testing and plastic microbeads and there are no parabens, sulphates, alcohol, phthalates or mineral oil in these products.  They are also vegetarian and vegan friendly and non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog pores).

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have definitely reached mor
