Review - Lacura Aqua Complete Multi - Intensive Serum



Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to talk to you about the brand Lacura, but more specifically their Aqua Complete Serum. I mentioned it briefly in an empties post recently (you can check it out here - Empties #4) but It was not an indepth review of the product. I apologise in advance about the pictures (or lack there of). The product is empty. I did not realise until I was going to write this post that I had no picture taken of this already when it was full, but atleast you get to see what the packaging looks like.   


*A little disclaimer- Skincare is always a tough one as we all have different skin types, colour & texture. Although I may really love a product & it might work perfectly for you too, I cannot guarantee it! I can just give you my thoughts on the product & tell you how it worked for me!! Enjoy my lovelies x*


First off I would like to say that I never really hear anyone talk about the Lacura brand. Its a skincare brand that I purchase from Aldi and extreamly affordable. I can never resist trying out affordable products. I always think whats the harm? If I hate it then I havent lost that much in the process & If I love it, Ive just found myself a bargin!! Win! 


I bought this about a year ago, just to test it out more than anything else & I have to say I love it!! My skin just drinks it up!! I have normal to dry skin & over the winter this was a savior for it!! You dont need that much of it. I find one pump does my each time I go to apply it, which is why it probably lasted me so long! I apply either morning or night & more often than not both! It is light in texture & dries in quickly, so it doesnt leave you with a sticky face for a half an hour! It also has a light fresh scent, a lightly scented cucumbery smell. 


Since trying this product I have picked up alot of the other products in the range to test out which you might have seen in my Makeup & skincare Travel Essentials post. I am currently trying out
  • Q10 Gentle Daily Face Cream
  • Q10 Renew Multi Intensive Serum
  • ProRevive Hand Cream
  • Hand & Nail Cream
  • Nourishing Hand Cream

The fact that I am willing purchase new products based on that one serum is proof enough that I feel like this range could be a winner. Im trying another serum this time around, partly because I wanted to try another one but mostly because they were sold out of the aqua complete one where I live.

I 100% recommend this for anyone looking to try something new, to bring moisture back into their skin, or just looking for really good affordable skincare. 

Leave me a comment down below if you have tried it! I would love to hear your thoughts! Or if you pick it up come back & let me know how you got on!!

Empties!! #4



Hey Guys!

Okay so its been a minute since Ive done an empties post! For anyone who has never seen one of theses posts Its basically where I keep all the empty packaging of products I have used up & tell you all about the product & whether I liked it or not! I will link my previous 3 empties below if you would like to see more. One of them is in video form! 


As I am on the move soon #sad #excited #dontknowwhatIamfeeling I could think of no better time than to do an empties post! Especially since it means I dont have to take it all with me!!

So here are the products I have used up recently!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The first time I picked this bad boy up was about 2 years ago & since then I have never been without it! This one here is a mini bottle which is perfect for travel! To be honest there should be many more but I must have thrown them out! I am currently making my way through one of the larger 400ml bottles! I absolutely love this stuff (For my full review on this product you can just click - Review - Garnier Micellar Water! )    






P.S. Love This... Makeup Brush Clenser

I love this brush cleanser for on the spot brush cleaning! I have gone through about 3 bottles of this now I believe. It is both a cleaner & a disinfectant which is hard to find at this price! At E2.50 a bargin it is an absolute bargin & I recommend anyone who enjoys makeup or is a makeup brush hoarder but hates the thought of cleaning them (Like me!) to pick this up! You will not regret it!!  






Loreal Infallible 24H Stay Fresh Foundation

I did really like this foundation. Good coverage & staying power! (To see more on this foundation & the Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula) You can just click here to see post & watch my Youtube Video -  Post - Current Top 5 Highstreet/Drugstore Foundations - Youtube Video)







Loreal True Match Foundation (new formula)

Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now (Thank you) or seen any of my Youtube Videos (Beauty La Linda - Youtube I will be starting up & making videos again! Planned for April! Keep posted for that!) then you will know that for the longest time now my holy grail (& I dont use that term lightly) foundation has been the Loreal True Match! This is the new formula & I have already gone through 4 bottles of it (can you tell I like it?) I was so worried when I heard that it had been re-formulated as I was such a lover of the old formula. However somehow they managed to make it better!! Go Loreal! It is super blendable, I love the texture of it! I love the colour range, the staying power is amazing! Seriously! If you havent tried it already you need to get your ass to a boots / Drugstore / Highstreet Store whatever... & pick one up! Now!






Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula)

Again I loved this at the time but it has since been discontinued!






Mitchum Advanced Control Stick deodrant

Okay so this is a #Youtubemademedoit moment! I have seen this deodrant all over youtube the past few months so when I needed a new one I thought "why not try it out for myself" I really like it! I dont think I would rave that much about it to be honest.... Its deodorant...   but it does the job well, I like the smell so I will be picking it up again!







Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This has been in a previous empties & for good reason! I love this little product! It does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak! It is very appropriately named! It wakes you up! Well it makes you look wake anyway & thats what we looking for isnt it? Something that helps us to fool the world into thinking we are well rested people! Love this & Recommend anyone on the hunt for a new under eye brightening, highlighting concealer to give it a go!





      

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love

I have raved about this lipstick more than once here on my blog & also my channel on Youtube. Its appeared in many a favourites post & lets be real.. Ive got to love it if I actually manage to use up a whole tube of lipstick! I mean how often does that happen? If you would like to read a full review of it you can do so by clicking here - The Perfect Nude!? Review - Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love  I already have back ups as you can see in the photo!







Lacura Aqua Complete - Multi-Intensive Serum

This is a serum Ive mention once before in my Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (You can check it out but clicking here - Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (Skincare)) I really enjoyed this serum & have a full review coming on Friday! So keep posted for that!!






Thats all! Those are all the products that I have used up lately. It was kind of a favourites post too really as many of these are my go to products!! 


Have you tried any of these products!? What did you think!?
Have you any recommendations for any products I should try out??

Best of Beauty 2014!!




Hey Beauties!


Today I thought I would dedicate a post to my Top 10 beauty finds in 2014. This post would have been up sooner but unfortunately I have been really sick the past few days :( I know not a great way to start the new but it can only get better right?? hah...  

Honestly it was quite hard to narrow this down as there were quite a few to choose from. In the end I chose the products that were stand out kind of products that I used consistently since discovering them. All these are products that I chose over others most or all of the time! I chose 5 make up items and 5 skin care items. Enjoy!! 

Make - up


Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - 15 Nude Love

Ah the perfect Nude!! I think I may have raved about this product a tad too much already to be honest but you cant have too much of a good thing...can you?? haha! If you want to see a full review just click here - Link




Essence 24hr Liquid Liner

Essence does it again! I found this liner early last year and I have never used any other liquid or gel liner since. It is totally user friendly I find that I can get almost any thickness or shape of a cat flick that my little heart desires. The only thing I wouldnt recommend it for is smudging out because girl let me tell you this stuff is made to stay put! Perfect on application and 16hrs later (I have not made it to 24) Its still perfect!! Also it costs less than €4!! Bargin!! 




Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser - Primer

Another product that has featured in a monthly favourites and has a full review. This is another product that I have never strayed from since discovery in the beginning of the summer. For full review just click here - Link




Catrice Sun Glow Bronzing Powder

I love this bronzing powder. I think it may have been mentioned in a monthly favourites and if I havent it definitely should have been!! This bronzer is perfect for contouring and general bronzing up of the face and neck. I also use it in the crease to contour my eyes! Love Love Love!

  


Ardell Demi Wispies

This was another beauty I just happened upon one day and didnt look back! This product has already been featured in a product of the week and a monthly favourites. To read the product of the week review just click here - Link






Skin Care


Garnier Micellar Cleansing water and eye make up remover

These too products for me were total game changers when it came to taking off my make up! I have yet to find better products at removing make up and for the price they are an absolute steal!! For a full review on the Micellar Cleansing Water just click here - Link




Balmi Lip Balm

Like I said in my monthly favs in which this featured I thought lip balm was lip balm as long as it does the job im happy but I fell in love with this one!! If anyone is looking for a new nourishing lip balm to try then I recommend you give this one a go! 




Argon Oil Night Serum

This is another product that since I picked up I have been using it as my only serum and I have noticed that when I use it my skin seems softer and more hydrated! Plus as I have said previously I love the smell!!


Vaseline Healthy Hands + Stronger Nails ,  Hand Cream

I love this hand cream. I love smell its non sticky and and smells soooo nice. Plus my hands feel so soft and nourished after using it!




So There you have it! Now I realise I need to branch out and discover new products as I have been using the same ones for a while now. Cant wait for all the new discoveries in 2015!!



Have you tried any of these products??

What are your Best of Beauty picks for 2014??
