I am generally not a fan of facial skin care scrubs and was pleasantly surprised at the gentleness of the Vichy Purete Thermal Skin Renewal Creamy Scrub. I have used this scrub weekly for 3 weeks now and it is gentle, mildly exfoliating (with environmentally friendly ingredients) and deep cleansing on my skin. I love the feeling of smoothness and radiance after using - now part of my weekly routine! -

I really enjoyed using the Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel - this is a Vichy product that I have not used before this opportunity. It did a wonderful job on my skin of cleansing - without feeling any dryness. I was very impressed with it's effectiveness when I did the cotton pad test after cleansing with my usual micellar water. Skin felt fresh and invigorated too! -

The Vichy Purete Thermale Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover worked amazingly well on my waterproof mascara, brow products and liner. It didn't take much pressure or rubbing with a cotton facial pad for removal which is great for lash care. It has a very pleasant but not overwhelming scent and you don't have to use much product for effective removal either - a total thumbs up from me! -

As promised ~ Finally had a chance to swatch the Sleek MakeUp Solstice Highlighting Palette. I've shown the shades top to bottom. I did use Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Light underneath but didn't bother with foundation as I wanted to see the product on natural skin for photo purposes. Here's a few thoughts:
--
Ecliptic Cream Highlighter is heavily pigmented and goes on super smooth with an almost bronze tinted base. Wasn't sure if I'd like working with a cream highlight but it's superb!
--
Hemisphere is a pinky / lilac coloured shimmer powder that's a little lighter pigmentation wise but totally buildable.
--
Subsolar is a fabulous silky highlight powder with yellow tones and probably my least favourite of the palette but only because of my skin colouring ~ as on us olive toned girls it looks more silver.
--
Equinox is a light iridescent but metallic, highly pigmented & swirled baked taupe ~ nude ~ beige powder (think #Colourpop #Churro!) which has so many uses and probably my fave if I had to pick one!
Amazing value and such a versatile, cruelty free palette that you can use for everything from face highlighting, to strobing, body shimmer and contour, brow bone highlights, eyes and more! About $28 Canadian ~ Love it

Sun kissed sweetness that's almost too pretty to use! This Essence Sun Club Shimmer Bronzing Powder really delivers a natural & silky glow with just a touch on your favourite fluffy brush. I purchased "Suntanned" Shade 20 which is made for us darker complexioned gals (I am olive toned) or if you already have a tan. Subtle but shimmery and perfect for a healthy looking, natural "no-makeup" but makeup look! Impressive staying power, cruelty free beauty and so very affordable at my local Shopper's Drugmart ☀️ -

Shine is fine ~ Just not when you're talking how your skin looks by the end of the day! NYX Cosmetics has come up with an amazingly priced, long lasting, shine controlling but water based setting spray ~ Matte Finish! I found it very lightweight with actual stay all day strength ~ even in warmer humid weather where my skin has a tendency to get really shiny by day's end. As a devotee of UD's De-Slick Setting Spray I can honestly say the NYX Matte Finish gives very comparable results yet comes in under $11 ~ which is simply Brilliant! -
