I mentioned in a post back in July that i’m a member of Beauty Pie and I’m worried it’s starting to become an obsession!
When I was at uni I used to get really sore and dry cheeks in the winter (I lived in Brighton so the sea air added that extra cold bite) I tried everything to help it, and then my mum paid for me to have a Dermologica facial and after that a love affair with the Ultra Calming range began.
Obviously I have nothing bad to say about Dermologica, I used it for years, but my bank balance always had a little sob when I finished a bottle knowing that I would have to take out a small mortgage to replace my cleansers and moisturisers.
With that I have always been a bit hesitant to change (partly my personality, partly for fear of the dry, sore cheeks making a comeback) but with my bank balance seriously depleted now i’m not working I thought I’d give Beauty Pie a go.
I’d heard great things through people I follow on Instagram and the £10 a month membership fee didn’t seem too bad to get products at factory prices. When I did the maths I worked out it would save me a lot. So I did my order of the recommended Japanfusion cleanser (as well as a few other bits!) to see what the hype was about.
Well, what can I say…it’s love. I use Garnier Misceller water to remove my make-up and then massage a dollop of this onto my face until it turns to an oil and then splash it with water until it turns milky and wash it off as a second cleanse. I’ve actually had compliments on my skin, which for someone who hasn’t had a full nights sleep since Jack’s arrival in May is saying something!
Since then I’ve added to my Pie products, the Super Healthy Skin Tinted moisturiser and the Super Healthy Skin Moisture Creme is a dream. Then there’s the One Palette Wonder which has everything you need for your face in one – bronzer, eyeshadow and blush…genius.
I can’t see this love affair showing any signs of waning, and the fact that I can buy these at a fraction of the price takes the guilt out of shopping. To give you an idea the box of products pictured cost me £62.55. This isn’t an ad…just my honest opinion from a fan!
