SL Face Oil by Sofia Latif Review

-
I was lucky enough to win a bottle of SL Face Oil by Sofia Latif on Sofia's Instagram page.  Sofia has perfected this face oil over 15 years and it contains a blend of organic, natural, vegan and pure nut, seed and flower oils. It doesn't contain any chemicals, synthetic ingredients, parabens or gluten.  The oils included in this product include organic sweet almond oil, rosehip oil, marula seed oil, moringa seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, jasmine essential oil and Bulgarian rose essential oil.  This all adds up to a face oil that protects and nourishes your skin.
SL Face Oil by Sofia Latif Review
I am always a little bit wary of using face oils on my skin, because even though it is quite dry it can become clogged up quite easily.  Sofia recommends that this oil be used on a night and this works perfectly for my skin.  I use a couple of drops and my skin just drinks it up.  It doesn't feel greasy and sinks in quickly.  The scent is not strong or overpowering, maybe just a hint of the jasmine and rose oils perhaps.

This face oil is the perfect pamper treat for my skin, especially during this heatwave that we have been having in the UK this summer (sadly as I write this it's raining heavily and is expected to do so all weekend.  Oh well it was good while it lasted, even though us Brits complained about the heat at the time).  All the sun and air conditioning has really been taking it's toll on my skin, but after using SL Face Oil by Sofia Latif, I wake up with refreshed, hydrated, plump skin.

Sofia created this face oil due to skin that became hypersensitive during her 20's.  When no product or medication could help, she decided to experiment with different oils and the SL face Oil was born and perfected over the years. 

This product is not tested on animals and they do not use suppliers that test on animals and the packaging is recyclable.  In addition, with each sale this company invests in an entrepreneur in a developing country to help improve their lives and support them in the growth of their business. So far they have provided 4 loans with their charity partner lendwithcare.

SL Face Oil costs £20 for 10ml or £45 for 30ml and can be purchased via sofialatif.com.  I really love the philosophy of this company and I really want to make an effort in the future to support and buy from more independent brands, especially those that support and help others to grow their own businesses.

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
