Beauty Pie: Part Two

Beauty Pie is a British based subscription service than in short for $10 a month you get access to member prices of luxury quality skincare. Read more about how it works in my first post HERE. I tend to save up my dollars so I can get more in one haul and for this one I saved for three months. I got four items this haul and actually it’s been my favorite choices from the brand to date. I have been wanting to try their biocellulose sheet masks for a while as I love biocellulose. The Advanced Serum-Infusion Biocellulose Anti-Aging Sheet Mask uses seaweed polysaccharides & wheat proteins to lift and smooth the skin. I love biocellulose so the fit wasn’t bad and texture of the mask was great. The fragrance was a little high for my tastes but I did like the hydrated feel and lifted appearance of my skin after using. I probably wouldn’t buy them again only because of the high scent, I liked everything else about them. Details per Beauty Pie:

Like a fast-acting ‘cheat-sheet’ for luminous, smooth, lifted skin. Throw one on for 15-minutes when your skin needs a lift, a smooth, or a rush of moisture. (After-flight, pre-party, post-slopes, or on any very important morning, before your makeup.) With visible wrinkle-smoothing seaweed polysaccharides, skin-smoothing wheat proteins and a second-skin like invisible biocellulose base for instant, intensive active dose delivery. It’s high-tech. French. And totally fabulous. In a set of 5.

The Triple Hyaluronic Acid + Peptide Serum is a newer launch for the brand. It was so much better than I expected. This hydrating serum has three weights of hyaluronic acid, ceramides & peptides. It has a really nice texture as well. It’s not too sticky or heavy. It also doesn’t feel like a silicone textured serum either, it’s smooth and slippery which is how I prefer my hyaluronic acid serums. I love the frosted glass bottle and at $15.06 it was well worth trying. It was hydrating and plumped my skin. The texture was nice and my favorite of all the serums I have tried from Beauty Pie to date. This is an item well worth trying from the brand. Details per Beauty Pie:

A miracle-serum, for super glowy, dewy, healthy skin. We asked our favourite Swiss skincare scientist to formulate the ultimate hyaluronic acid serum – with no budget limit, any and all synergistic ingredients, and proven active levels of everything in it.

The Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream is the best cream I have tried to date from this brand. The texture is a complete dream. It’s creamy and luscious. It’s got a medium weight texture so it’s hydrating but not heavy or greasy. It sinks in beautifully. I’ve been enjoying it as a day cream this winter but I’ll move it to night cream this summer. This is best for normal to drier skin types, oily skin it might be too much for you. This was another Caroline Hirons favorite and it was a spot on recommendation for being fabulous. It’s true you can just touch a cream and know it’s got an amazing texture. This is one of those creams and at $12.78 it was a steal. Details per Beauty Pie:

Japanfusion Pure Transforming Cleanser has a gel cream texture that turns into an oil then it emulsifies and rinses clean with water. I love this cleanser & it only cost me $6.81 (minus member fees and shipping). It has no fragrance which is perfect. It’s refreshing and never leaves the skin stripped or dry. As it has oils it will remove makeup but I like it as a morning cleanse. It’s really quite a pleasure to use texture wise. It was a Caroline Hirons favorite and she was right again. Details per Beauty Pie:
