The Ordinary Skincare Haul

-
I have heard so much about The Ordinary that I had to order some of their products for myself.  The Ordinary is a Brand from DECIEM that also includes NIOD and Fountain amongst others.  The Ordinary is about clinical formulations with integrity and brings to market effective technologies at honourable prices.

All DECIEM products including The Ordinary are free from parabens, sulphates, Mineral Oil and formaldehyde.  They do not test on animals and do not pay others to do so and none of their brands are sold in mainland China (source The Ordinary website).

I bought 5 products from The Ordinary:

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
