Just
before I left for Canada, a generous skincare package arrived for me from the
lovely people at Purlisse. Having read some rave reviews by some of my
favourite bloggers on the brand, I had no doubts I would enjoy the products and
I have been proved right!
Purlisse
was founded by former actress Jennifer Yen (she was in Power Rangers dontcha
know) as heavy makeup and bright lights affected her complexion. She created
Purlisse – a combination of Asian wisdom and modern philosophy as well as
partnering with chemists in France, Korea, America and beyond to perfect the
skincare line.
Most
of the range I have here is from the Blue Lotus range - Blue Lotus is a powerful
antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. All products here are
also free of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, synthetic colour/fragrance and
animal cruelty! I’ve been using the range for well over a month now so here are
my thoughts!
This
cleansing milk promises to gently cleanse the skin, remove makeup, tone and
soothe
It’s
infused with Soy Milk, Whole Oat and White Tea to gently wash away dirt,
impurities and makeup in one simple step. It’s a soothing multi tasker that
leaves skin pure and clean without stripping it of its natural oils and is
suitable for all skin types. As well as blue lotus, the cleanser also contains White
Tea which helps rejuvenate skin, Soy Milk which is rich in amino acids and
maintains skin elasticity and whole oat to calm and soothe sensitive skin. I
absolutely love how gentle this is. I do prefer it as a morning cleanse rather
than a makeup removing second/evening cleanser as I prefer something more balmy
or oily and this is a runny milk. It doesn’t strip my skin at all and leaves it
clean and ready for the next step in my routine. It also comes in a huge tube and
a little goes a long way!
This promises
to brighten and even skin tone while also reducing dark spots and is suitable
for all skin types including sensitive. Again, as well as containing blue
lotus, it’s also made up of Lupine peptides to improve radiance and promote a
youthful glow, Vitamin C and Alpha Arbutin to brighten and even skin tone, Neem
and prune extracts to fade away dark spots and Avocado oil and natural squalene
to nurture sensitive skin. It’s really lightweight and sinks into my skin
quickly which I love! I’ve been using this morning and night and am so
impressed by how quickly my residual acne marks and scars are fading! My skin
has been breaking out more since I moved away but this range has 100% been
helping to keep it under control and fade the marks that are left over leaving
my skin looking clearer quicker!
This
moisturiser promises hydration, fine line prevention and it’s perfect to use
under makeup for normal, dry and sensitive skin. It’s got white tea included
which offers anti-bacterial and skin soothing abilities, Vitamin E to prevent
premature ageing and improve skin texture and French Marine Plants to help
retain moisture. My skin is more on the oily/combo side of things but this
hasn’t caused me to be any more oily that usual and I actually think my skin
has dried out a little since I’ve been in Canada so this is perfect. It’s a gel
cream hybrid, completely non-greasy and absorbs quickly into my skin like the
serum. It works so well with my foundation like most of the recent
moisturisers I’ve been trying out that my poor primers are taking a backseat
because I just don’t feel like I need them! I haven’t noticed any dry patches
since using this either so can’t recommend enough!
I’m
pretty hard to please when it comes to lip balms (see my disappointing products post here with cult favourite Nuxe Reve de Miel!) but this one I can get on board
with! Quite literally as I took it with me on the plane to Canada – see what I
did there?! It promises to hydrate and nourish, heal and soften and to my
delight is petroleum free! It contains mango seed butter and shea butter which
are highly nourishing and moisturising and also has Vtamins A, C and E. Jojoba oil provides anti-inflammatory
benefits and soothes chapped lips while Rice bran oil hydrates and protects
lips from UV rays and Vitamin E leaves lips supple and youthful. This lasts so
long on my lips which I love! I hate having to reapply after 10 minutes! It
gives a good amount of gloss too without being too much and leaves my lips feeling
moisturised and soothed as well as plump looking!
This
sheet mask promised to be intensely moisturising as well as soothing and
balancing. It contains White Mulberry to brighten and Anise fruit to provide
continuous moisture leaving skin healthy, beautiful and radiant. I’m not an
avid sheet mask user but I can safely say that I have found a favourite in this!
I love the light scent and the mask itself is super saturated. I found it to
fit my face really well and I didn’t want to take it off! I rubbed the remnants
of the mask into my face and it felt so smoothing and hydrating I almost didn’t
bother with a moisturiser. My skin always looks much more radiant and calmer the
next morning!
Overall,
I am so impressed with the Blue Lotus range and Purlisse as a whole! The
products are incredibly gentle yet effective and a joy to use! I highly
recommend if you get a chance to try them!
