SBC; Vitamin ACE Shower Gel, Skincare Gel and Body Creme

If you read this post here you know where my love for the SBC Vitamin ACE range started, I am currently on my second tub of the Day and Night Cream. Vitamin ACE stands for vitmains A,C and E, which is contained in this formula, and is effective for anti-ageing and evening out of the skintone among other things (read post linked above for full details). So when I found out SBC were doing a BOGOF (buy one get one free) on their website for the month of March, I couldn't resist a purchase or two.

SBC Vitamin ACE Shower Gel and Body Creme

I have finished a bottle of the Vitamin ACE Skincare gel (which I bought in a set from QVC), it's great if you don't like the feeling of lotions on your skin as it's so light, but I found it was not moisturising enough for my skin so had to mix it with some oil. I decided to try the Body Creme as this is thicker and would be more moisturising, this is much better for my dry body skin, but not at all greasy. Although I still from time to time add a drop of oil, just to get that sheen/richness I like on my skin once I've moisturised, however this may not be needed in the warmer months as my skin is less dry. I'm also on my second bottle of the shower gel, this is a lovely foaming shower gel and just works well in conjunction with the other products and starts the topical application of the lovely vitamins contained in this range.

I thorougly enjoy using this range, and feel my skin is becoming more even with continued use of these products. We always focus on even skin on the face, but with the warmer weather making an appearance an all over even skintone is on the menu, and this range can help achieve that.

I will definitely continue to purchase from this range, I think I've tried everything except the serum, which is next on my wishlist. Have you tried anything from SBC? Do you have any recommendations for me?

Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial

Some time last year QVCUK.com did a Today's Special Value (TSV) where you got a 7 piece Sarah Chapman set (all full size) for just under £80, I had been wanting to try the range so couldn't pass up on such great value. The Sarah Chapman Skinesis overnight facial sets you back £46 for 15ml alone, but it was a trap because now I'm dreading this oil running out, what will I do without it.

So let me tell a little about this oil, this serum-oil hybrid has a gorgeous silky texture, one of the best textures in oil form I've experienced. It contains a cocktail of antioxidants, vitamins, anti-inflammatory omega oils, firming Dermaxyl peptide, to brighten and even out the skin tone in conjunction with jasmine and rose for a gorgeous scent. I apply this at night after serum and before moisturiser, and I'm glowing already, by the time I wake up skin is plump, smooth and ready for the day. Over a time I noticed an evening out of my skin tone and I believe this oil has helped me stave off the usual cold weather dehydration. Sarah Chapman designed this to mimic the effects of a Skinesis facial, but in your own home, the oil contains concentrated active ingredients such as Renovage to increase the life span of cells, anti-ageing vitamin A, vitamin C and E (seems to be the magic concoction that works for my skin), Meadowfoam seed oil, Hemp seed oil, melon oil, baobab oil and Jojoba to name a few, these leave your skin refreshed and radiant with the signature Skinesis glow.

Even for a small bottle, this product has lastest a while, but due to the packaging it's hard to see how much I have left, I dread the day I get to the last pump. However the airless pump and opaque packaging protect light and air sensitive ingredients, to keep them active and potent, so you won't hear any complaints from me. It's something I will definitely repurchase, and I'm currenlty keeping an eye out for any offers, and am also eager to try the morning facial. 

Have you tried any Sarah Chapman products? What did you think? Any items on your wishlist?

Revitalash and RevitaBrow Advanced Lash and Brow Conditioner!!!

I have been eyeing up these products for a while, but the price always put me off, so when I saw QVC had a TSV (todays special value) I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try them. I got the revitalash 2 piece Lash and brow conditioner for £76.98, usually £94 and I get a 60 day money back guarantee.

Revitalash & RevitaBrow

Starting with RevitaBrow advanced, an award winning brow conditioner, that is said to enhance the look of your eyebrows for a dramatic natural beauty. It delivers a proprietary blend of scientifically advanced peptides, revitalising extracts and nutritive vitamins to help beautify and enhance the look of bold defined brows. Ingredients include Bio tin complex, Calendula (natural humectant), Swertia, Japonica, Panax and Ginseng. It's housed in a mascara style tube, with a doe foot applicator and needs to be applied once daily, this 3ml size is said to last 4 months. It's great those who have overplucked brows over the years or brows that are thinning due to the ageing process, to buy this individually on QVC it will set you back £71.28.

Revitalash advanced is also said to enhance eyelashes for a dramatic natural look, which to me seems contradictory. It's said to be a breakthrough cosmetic formula that addresses the visual signs of eyelash ageing and stress, it protects against breakage, brittleness and improve flexibility, moisture and shine for more dramatic looking lashes. It contains a proprietary blend of scientifically advance technology along with natural botanicals, once a day application is required using the slim wand applicator at the base of the lashes without touching the skin on the eyelid. A 2ml size is said to last 3 months, so this 3.5ml supersize should last almost 6 months and will set you back about £80 if bought individually. It contains BioPeptin complex (biotin, green tea extract and peptides), Ginseng, swertia and Japonica (high in anti-oxidants and vitamin B), Saw and Palmetto (high in fatty acids and plant sterols) and wheat and protein.

I've been using these about 3 days now, so too early to comment on results, they are easy to apply and I will be updating this post once I start noticing result. I will be taking QVC up on the 60 day money back guarantee, so if I'm not happy they will be going back.

Have you tried either of these before?

Update: Absolutely love the RevitaBrow, definitely saw growth and thickness to my brows, not so much with Revitalash unfortunately.
