Deciem | Black November Sale Picks

Hey guys, thought I would write up a quick post today with my picks for the Deciem Black November sale! I think it’s really cool they are doing 23% off for the entire month meaning you don’t have to panic purchase anything and you have more time to decide if you really need to make the purchase (excluding November 29th when their storers and website will be closed) – on the flipside though you can get 20% off from most other websites that sell the range at other times of the year and I do miss the  heavily discounted bundle sets they used to do as it allowed you to try out products you normally wouldn’t have thought about! Anyway – onto the products! 

My Holy Grail products

NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 2:1

A blue liquid that maintains healthy looking skin targeting all signs of skin ageing including textural damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and a lack of radiance. This has been a constant repurchase for me over the last few years! They recently updated the formula and its as good as ever!

Sanskrit Saponins 

One of my favourite morning cleansers, this targets all forms of build-up, blemishes, congestion and impurities. The first time I used this I was a little put off by the smell but I soon got over it and I reach for it regularly in the morning! It leaves my skin feeling clean and matte but not dried out and works really well with my blemished skin! As you can see, I am almost out of mine so I will be picking another one up soon! 

The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

I mix these two and love how they work together! The Alpha Arbutin works to reduce the look of spots and hyper pigmentation and Niacinamide is a high strength vitamin and mineral blemish formula that reduces the appearance of blemishes and congestion as well as balancing sebum. These two are amazing and again, I have repurchased many times and will definitely be picking up a few new bottles this time around too! 

Honourable mentions that I don’t have right now but 100% recommend include HIF volume and hydration support, The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG and NIOD Multi Molecular Hyaluronic Complex.

Products I Like

Here are a few products I really like but probably could do with using a little more as I often forget about them! I enjoy them when I use them but I could probably do with using on the regular to form a better opinion, so I’ll keep this short and sweet! 

The Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion is the perfect gentle product if you are just getting into retinoids, I always wake up with plump skin! Alpha Lipoic Acid 5% is an antioxidant product providing glowy skin overnight. The Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is a gentle AHA and the 100% L-Ascorbic Acid Powder is brightening, tingles and is perfect to mix with your current moisturiser. All definitely worth trying out if you are in the market for any new skincare products! 

Products I would Skip 

I evidently need to have another clear out because I do not know why I am still holding onto these products! Hylamide HA Blur and Hylamide Matte 12 don’t do anything for me in terms of priming, I don’t notice my makeup staying on any longer or my base looking any better and the Hylamide Pore Control is honestly one I’ve only used a couple of times and found it to dry out my oily/combo skin a little. 

I also don’t rate Petrowhat? lip balm, the texture if awful and it doesn’t feel hydrating to me, the oils don’t work for my skin and the coverage foundation was awful too!
