The Pearlescent Illuminating Serum isn’t quite what I was expecting. It’s marketed as a hydrating serum, but I’d liken it more to an illuminating primer. With vitamin B and hydrating beta-glucan it can be used on its own, but as a skincare aficionado I’d recommend it as a post-skincare routine add-on. The results, however, are stunning. The finish isn’t dewy (hence why I’d recommend a hydrating product underneath), but rather smoothing and blurring. The encapsulated synthetic mica pearls deliver a subtle glow and very minor shimmer that had people complimenting my makeup-less skin all day.
And finally, we come onto The Pleasing Pen. And honestly, I’m a little miffed. The pen is dual-ended, housing an eye serum on one end and a lip oil on the other, dispensed through matching steel rollerballs. The eye serum is exquisite. Formulated with olive oil-derived squalane to hydrate, hibiscus extract to smooth and lingonberry to lift and tighten, it makes for the ultimate morning pick-me-up. It provides a refreshingly cooling result that wakes you up in seconds.
