REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Barrier Support Body Balm

New to my favourite Ren Clean Skincare collection is the Evercalm Barrier Support Body Balm and it is fantastic.  The Evercalm range is described as being soothing skincare for sensitive and sensitised skin and it is completely free from known allergens and potentially detrimental ingredients.
REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Barrier Support Body Balm
Designed to deliver instant and long-term relief from head to toe, the Evercalm Barrier Support Body Balm from REN Clean Skincare is designed to target key areas of sensitivity such as - dry patches, chafing, tattoo after-care, post-shave or laser irritation, baby bump and pregnancy care, nipples, dry and irritated armpits, and after sun care.

This luxurious, buttery balm is powered by the brand’s unique barrier support complex, which is a unique trio of natural oils which are rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 and ceramides to help restore and strengthen the skin barrier. Enriched with a host of calming bioactives such as: 
  • Barrier Support Complex: A unique trio of natural oils (Sunflower, Apricot Kernel, and Sweet Almond), rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 and Ceramides, to help repair the skin barrier, with a prebiotic effect that supports the skin’s microbiome. 
  • Camellia Japonica Seed Oil: This precious oil is rich in Omega 6 and 9 to soothe skin and help replenish the skin barrier, and antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage.
  • Safflower Ceramide Complex: This unique blend of Omega 6, Ceramides 3, and analogue of Ceramides 2 and 10 help to relieve dry skin and help strengthen the skin barrier instantly, and over time. A patented solvent-free enzymatic synthesis process is used to obtain a biomimetic structure of the ceramides found in skin.
As this balm is designed to melt into a nourishing oil on contact with your skin, this buttery formula is lightweight, non-greasy and glides onto the skin so effortlessly it is a delight to use. 
REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Barrier Support Body Balm
If you are a fan of the Ren Clean Skincare Overnight Recovery Balm, then you will absolutely love this balm, it's a lighter much softer to use and is suitable for use on the skin of the whole family. 

Priced at £35 for 90ml, this tub lasts a good few months depending on how often you use it and because you only need such a small amount, it is a case of a little goes a long way.

Aldi Lacura Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit Dupe

It is well known now that I love a good Aldi Lacura beauty product and in recent months there has been some brilliant releases, from the exciting Sweet Angel Shower Gel, which may or may not be similar to Snow Fairy from Lush, Their BHA Toner which is aid to be similar to Paula's Choice, through to their Charlotte Tilbury inspired lip launches.  Today it is another inspired product and the Lacura Lip Kit.

Said to be inspired by the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kit, £28. Looking at the packaging, you can see that similarly just like Kylie Cosmetics, the Aldi Lacura version is housed in millennial pink packaging with the lip print and inside it contains two products a matte liquid lipstick and liner duo. 

Priced at just £4.99 each, there is a choice of three different shades, my local Aldi had just the one shade in stock and thankfully, the one I wanted in Nearly Nude, which is said o be inspired by the shade Kylie.  The other options are Just Peachy’ which is similar to ‘Sweater Weather’ and then the shade ‘Velvet Sugar’ which is inspired by he shade Twenty’

As expected, both of these products are really impressive, described as having a long-lasting formula and of course it is Vegan.  

The liner which is more of a pinkier brown shade than it looks, glides onto the lips as thought it is a balm, it is so soft and smooth, easy to smudge if the need arises and it does wipe away if a mistake is made, but you need to do it before it settles.  However, what it does is create a great liner for your lips and it works well with other lipsticks too.

Then the liquid lipstick, I adore it, there ive said it.  It is bright, it is pigmented, it glides smoothly onto the lips without being taut and whilst it does dry down quite quickly, it is a definite liquid lipstick which some might want to add a gloss too, depending on which type of finish you like, But the colour is also slightly more Pink than its inspired offering, so something to have in mind.

As you can see from the swatches above, which are not edited, both the Lip Pencil and the Liquid Lip do give good colour pay off and they work with other products that you might have in your stash.

Each one of these Aldi Lacura lip kits is priced at £4.99 each and in comparison to the Kylie Cosmetic Lip Kits are priced around £28, it is quite the saving!  As with most Aldi Lacura products, if you spot them in the middle aisle, grab them as quickly as you can if you want to give them a try because they never hand around for long!
