Juliette Armand CC Cream

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner folks!

'Cream that repairs skin tone (Color Control) with multiple action.'
‘Cream that repairs skin tone (Color Control) with multiple action.’

I’ve tried a couple of CC creams, but none have wowed me. They all did pretty much the same as the BB creams in my stash – all offered light coverage and maybe a bit of a glow. None of the CC creams truly ‘corrected colour’ and they found their way to the back of the make-up drawer. I might add that they are all drugstore brands.

I was curious to try Juliette Armand’s CC Cream, but I wasn’t expecting too much. I need more coverage than what your average BB or CC cream offers anyway.

I am officially wowed.

Juliette Armand’s Color Control Cream contains Hyaluronic Acid which provides water reserves and protects against water loss, Vitamin PP which enhances elasticity and combats blemishes, Aloe Vera to moisturise and calm the skin, sun filters (SPF 10) and Matrixyl 30000 tetrapeptide which smooths wrinkles, fine lines and roughness. It combines 7 different color dispersions (pigment) that offers coverage that fits any skin tone.

The first time I tried it I really thought that we would not get on. I made the mistake of using a full pump of product (that’s too much – I use about ¾ of a pump now) and when I applied it to my skin it was way too dark. I looked a bit Oompa Loompa. The trick is to use just enough product and to blend. Once it adapted, it suited my skin tone perfectly. Which was a pleasant surprise as I am very pale. And it combats a lot of redness. It also provides medium coverage – more than I expected. My skin looks healthy and hydrated with a lovely glow. It also sets beautifully with powder. I use it every day.

Let’s quickly talk packaging. It’s got a pump! Whoop-whoop. The nozzle also has a little cap – great for travelling. The plastic container is lightweight and even looks quite funky.

Price: R455 BUT it’s for 50ml of product. I checked, all my foundations are 30ml.

I am really happy with this product and the brand and look forward to more.

I received the Opsis Therapy Eye Brightening Gel and I was very keen to give it a go as this was my first time trying anything by this brand.

First off, how can you not love the gorgeous and novel packaging? I mean really. It is such a treat to use… just because it’s so cool. Moving on. The packaging is very effective too as you can dispense the exact amount you need and there are no ‘dirty’ fingers spoiling the rest of your product. The rubber cap also doubles as a massager as you can use it to massage the product into the area. Honestly, I still prefer using my fingers, but it’s there if you want to use it.

The product itself is said to immediately and visibly reduce dark circles and swelling in the sensitive eye contour area and it moisturises, tones and refreshes the eye contour.

The gel has a balmy consistency which spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. It leaves the skin under my eyes feeling soft and smooth which makes it great to use before applying make-up to the area. It also has an immediate cooling and refreshing effect which is lovely, especially after a rough night with Cara. And I am glad to report that dark circles are brightened. Moms rejoice!

Opsis Therapy Eye Brightening Gel retails for R725 (10ml).
