[beauty review] The Body Shop Vitamin C Facial Radiance Programme-microdermabrasion, radiance powder mix, skin boost

Bought this set from The Body Shop in Barcelona for 29 euros to try. Seemed to be a popular item cos i took the last one off the shelf! Very value for money. The microdermabrasion is a smaller tube, but the radiance powder mix and the skin boost comes in its FULL size.

What it contains:

15ml of Vitamin C Microdermabrasion

Recommended to be used just once a week.

Has a pretty rough texture, very fine sand-like particles.

I rub it in circular motion gently on my damp face for a minute or two before rinsing it off.

Nice to have a microdermabrasion exfoliator to use at home, really convenient.

Rating: 8/10

10mls of Vitamin C Radiance Powder Mix [Stop after 10 days]

okay this initially comes with a flat-top cover with a button-looking thing. Upon pressing down hard on the button thing on top, it releases a white powder into the clear liquid in the bottle and you gently mix it by turning the bottle upside down and back again a couple of times.

Apply it AFTER cleansing.

You can afford to use a super generous amount cos the instructions say that you can only use it for 10 days and it can definitely last for double that duration so use more of it each time!

Honestly, I did not really feel like my skin looked much more radiant than it did before. But it did help to lighten some scars i have on my face.

radiance effect: 5/10

scar-reducing effect: 6.5/10

I used it on my neck and decolletage area too and my boyfriend used it too-there is that much serum for that 10 days.

30mls of Skin Boost.

I'm not sure of this as a skin-care product, more like a cosmetic product. Has vitamin C and brazil nut oil so it does have some beneficial properties on the skin.

It promises instant radiance and a good make-up base and definitely does what it says.

There are actually shimmer/glitter particles in the translucent liquid, hence making your skin more radiant.

I squeeze some onto my fingers and apply it using circular motion onto my whole face. Face feels very smooth after application.

Using the heart-shaped thing on my left hand as a demarcation, i applied it above/to the left of the heart, you can see it looks brighter than the part just below the heart.

Good base for make-up application.

Foundation/BB cream/powder etc glides on smoothly and makes your skin look pretty flawless and radiant after.

Instructions for use that comes inside the box:

I guess maybe my complexion wasn't really dull to begin with so maybe the radiance effects wasn't very obvious. I liked how the radiance powder mix lightened my scars though and the skin boost gave instant radiance and was an awesome make-up base prep. the microdermabrasion was good-fine grains instead of the coarse type.

Not sure if Singapore has the complete set, but it definitely sells the individual products. Again, The Body Shop is from the UK so buying there would be cheaper.
