BEAUTY PAPIER: DAISY TONER

Processed with VSCO with e3 preset

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well! I’m just about ready to relax this weekend after a really busy week. I’ve been blogging all day every day and I finally feel much more on top of things now! I’m back with another review and this time I’m reviewing one of the coolest skincare products that I’ve ever seen; Beauty Papier’s Daisy Toner.

Beauty Papier, are a fairly new-ish brand that uses lots of natural ingredients to bring luxurious products to our skin. They currently only have two products available to purchase on their website; the Daisy Toner and Blotting paper so I’m really excited to see what else they come up with!

The Daisy Toner (200g) retails at £25, which is rather pricey, especially for what could potentially be a daily product. However, it is fancier than your average toner and it definitely feels more luxurious. Inspired by traditional herbal medicine, the Daisy Toner is infused with real chrysanthemum flowers. I love how you can literally see the ingredients floating around inside the bottle, it looks so natural and delicate. The petals have infused the toner with the most gorgeous and refreshing scent – it literally smells like a breath of fresh air in there.

The Daisy Toner purifies, hydrates and softens skin without having any drying effects. I hate skincare that dries out my skin so this product quickly became a favourite of mine. The toner can be used both morning and evening, however, I like to use mine first thing as it really wakes me up and preps my skin for the day. It’s also alcohol and paraben free.

Let’s talk results because I have definitely noticed a big difference. My skin looks brighter and feels softer. I’m currently doing everything I can to keep my skin hydrated, especially since we’re transitioning into a colder season. I don’t want my tan to go anywhere fast either! This toner has helped so much when it comes to hydration. It’s kept my skin glowing for weeks! It’s not just me that’s noticing a difference either, I’ve even received a few compliments about how good my skin looks. I will definitely be using this more often!

Overall, I think this is a great toner. It hydrates, it brightens and it softens the skin all whilst smelling incredible too. It’s very natural and free from alcohol and parabens. The only issue I have is with the price. However, I understand that it’s a rather quirky and luxurious product so I wouldn’t expect it to be cheap. If you have the budget for it, it’s worth trying! If not, there are so many different toners out there that you can also put to the test. My current favourite is the infamous Pixi Glow Tonic, which I’ve reviewed here! I’ve put links to all of my social media down below and I’d love it if you would come and say hi!

THE PIXI VITAMIN C RANGE*

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been a busy little volunteering bee over the last few days so it was so lovely to come home one day to another gorgeous little package from the lovely Pixi Beauty! They kindly gifted me some of their latest releases from their new Vitamin C range. I can’t wait to show you everything and share my thoughts! If incase you’re Pixi crazy like me, you can read my review of their Glow range here!

I have to admit, until I tried this range, I had no idea how important Vitamin C was for our skin! Not only does it brighten our complexion but it softens and it boosts luminosity, leaving skin looking beautifully radiant! The range also claims to provide antioxidant protection and strengthening probiotics!

Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser (£18)

The Pixi Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser is so refreshing I can’t get enough of it. It promises to brighten and cleanse “with stable Vitamin C for potent antioxidant effect”. The texture of it is quite similar to their toners. It’s very watery so I definitely wouldn’t use it to remove my makeup as it doesn’t lather whatsoever. However, it’s perfect for a quick morning cleanse! I like to use this first thing as it makes my skin look so much more alive and ready for the day! I reckon this bottle will be completely empty by the end of summer…

Vitamin-C Tonic (£10)

Now we all know and love the Pixi toners, but the Vitamin-C Tonic has something new to bring to the table! It features probiotics to strengthen the skin’s barrier and willow bark and fruit extracts to gently exfoliate. It also corrects dark spots by brightening and balancing the complexion! I use this straight after the Vitamin-C Juice Cleanser and my skin has never loved me more for that winning combination! I look so much more energised and I have a glow that lasts all day, even underneath my makeup. It’s also nice to use this after cleansing in the evening to exfoliate my skin before bed and I no longer wake up with dull and lifeless skin. Yes please!

Vitamin-C Serum (£26)

The Vitamin-C Serum might just be my favourite product in the range! As well as containing Vitamin C, it also features ferulic acid. This amazing stuff helps to reduce the effects of sun damage, evening skin tone and refining texture – not to mention correcting dark spots too! I can see this being a real summer skincare staple. I’m taking no chances with my skin this year as I’m going on holiday soon and I want it to be as healthy and damage-free as possible! It will definitely be travelling with me. I love how lightweight the formula is! It’s not sticky and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tacky or gooey. I like to use this after cleansing and toning with my other Vitamin-C goodies first thing in the morning. My skin definitely looks much brighter and more balanced since using this serum. I will definitely be repurchasing!

Vitamin-C Lotion (£24)

The Vitamin-C Lotion is a moisturiser that aims to brighten and hydrate the skin to encourage a natural radiant glow. The lightweight and fast-absorbing formula is perfect for the hot weather as it’s easy and comfortable to wear. No stickiness or greasiness whatsoever! My skin always looks so much brighter after using this magical stuff. I’ve actually been wearing this on its own with no makeup and so many people have told me I’m glowing!

Vitamin-C Caviar Balm (£24)

The Vitamin-C Caviar Balm was the product that had me the most intrigued! The leave-on mask promises to “promote healthy collagen synthesis” and “enhance a lit-from within glow”. It’s also packed with antioxidants and amino acids to help keep skin hydrated and radiant, which sounds dreamy to me. On those days where my skin has needed a real moisture hit, this product gives it much needed boost. I’ve been using this on the days where my skin feels a bit hot from the sun and it works a charm. It’s so refreshing and cooling! This is definitely another summer skincare staple!

Overall, I really like the Pixi Vitamin C range. I think the Vitamin C range is absolutely perfect for summer as it keeps our skin moisturised and hydrated, as well as protected and balanced. Since I started using these products, my skin definitely looks much brighter. I’ve also found that this range has been really healing for my skin too. My blemishes are healing much quicker and I’m sure that’s down to the exfoliation that the tonic provides. It’s been so lovely using this on really hot days so there’s no doubt that these goodies will be going straight in my travel bag for when I go on holiday. I’m really pleased that they’re continuing to expand their skincare ranges as now, there’s something for everyone! I’m excited to see what they will bring out next…

What are your favourites? Have you tried this range yet? Let me know in the comments! I’ve put links to all of my social media down below and I’d love it if you would come and say hi!

THE PIXI GLOW RANGE*

Processed with VSCO with e3 preset

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well! Life is currently a bit hellish given the whole dissertation and final year situation but that isn’t going to stop me from sharing the gorgeous Glow range from Pixi with you! I’m a super fan of the Glow Tonic itself (read my review here) so as you can imagine, when they added to the range I was over the flipping moon. They kindly gifted me their latest launches and I’m beyond excited to show you everything and share my thoughts!

*This post contains gifted products and affiliate links

Pixi Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel (£18.00)

The Pixi Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel is just dreamy. I’ve been using this every day for the last week and I think I’m in love. It’s the perfect cleanser to use first thing in the morning as it’s very refreshing and wakes me up, leaving my skin looking bright and radiant! I’ve also noticed that my face feels softer which means my makeup sits better on my skin too! It contains glycolic acid, horse chestnut extract, aloe and ginseng, all of which help hydrate and purify the skin. It’s a yes from me!

Pixi Glow Tonic (£10)

The Pixi Glow Tonic is practically superglued to my skincare collection. It’s going absolutely nowhere as it’s a huge staple for me. It’s something that I recommend to absolutely everyone. I’ve never actually suffered from severe acne or bad skin but whenever I have had blemishes, they leave a mark for months. I was so self conscious of these marks and dark spots that I didn’t go anywhere without makeup. The glow tonic has helped my skin to heal so much! I now no longer struggle with scars or marks anywhere near as badly as I used to. It basically exfoliates, tones and tightens the skin for healthier looking skin (and a gorgeous glow too). I strongly recommend giving this product a shot as it’s completely transformed my skin and I can’t go without it now! It’s suitable for all skin types and it’s alcohol free too.

I’ve written an in-depth review about this stuff so if you want all of the details, head over to my post and give it a read.

Pixi Glow Tonic Serum (£26.00)

The Pixi Glow Tonic Serum is effectively the glow tonic but in a thicker and more concentrated form. It has the same gorgeous scent too. I was concerned that it would leave my skin feeling greasy and sticky but because of its lightweight formula, my skin absorbs it quickly, free from tackiness. I’ve been using this, as instructed, after I’ve cleansed and before I moisturise. It makes my skin look hydrated and dewy, which is exactly the look that I want when I’m going barefaced for the day! The packaging is also really lovely, I like the concept of using a pipette as it ensures I don’t overdo and waste any product! It goes exactly where I want it to go.

Pixi pHenomenal Gel (£24.00)

The Pixi pHenomenal Gel is pretty much the perfect lightweight summer moisturiser. It’s definitely going to be coming with me on holiday this year. It’s so soothing and cooling – I might start keeping it in the fridge! My skin absolutely loves this stuff and it gets such a boost from it. I like to use this before I apply my makeup as it provides a fresh and hydrated base. It’s also pH neutralising to help balance the skin. It doesn’t have the same scent as the other products which is a shame, but as I’m finding it to be so effective I don’t really mind.

Pixi On-the-Glow (£18.00)

The Pixi On-the-Glow Multi-Use Moisture Stick just isn’t for me folks. I rarely have any issues with Pixi products but unfortunately I just didn’t get along with this. Initially, I thought the concept was really cool; an on-the-go moisturiser that’s solid so it doesn’t leak or need squeezing, no fuss, just apply and go. When I actually tried it on my skin, I found it to be really thick and it just didn’t sit right. When I do use it on my face, I apply it to any dry patches (with my fingertip) as sparingly as I can so it doesn’t build up. It claims to be suitable for hair too but honestly, I couldn’t think of anything worse – I feel like its would make it really oily and greasy. I’ve actually been enjoying using this as a lip balm instead of a moisturiser and it works really well. It also means that my satin lipsticks sit nicely on top of it too. I reckon this moisturiser would be perfect for those that struggle with really dry skin as it’s extremely hydrating.

Overall, I’m very impressed with the Pixi Glow products. I’m so glad that they’ve expanded the range as the Glow Tonic is a cult favourite and it was only a matter of time before we were all desperate for more of that magical formula!
