Care by Stella McCartney skincare
I know I’m really late in the whole reviewing this all natural organic skincare line by Stella McCartney. By now I’m sure you’ve read tons of reviews by other beauty bloggers, mostly raving. That’s what prompted me to head over to Sephora to get it. The individual products are quite pricy so I thought I’d try out the Discovery Set
($38) first. And well, I’m glad I only got the trial kit ’cause I’m really disappointed in this line (No offense to anyone who loves it). I still commend Stella McCartney for her valiant effort in creating an all-organic line. I guess it just doesn’t suit every skin type.
The 5 Benefits Moisturising Cream is not good for my oily skin. My face ended up looking like an oil slick after an hour. And because this day cream doesn’t have SPF I had to layer another sunscreen over it, which made matters worse. And the strong flowery smell doesn’t appeal to me. I prefer my moisturizer fragrance-free. I suppose this cream might work for you if you have really dry skin.
The Nourishing Elixir again made my skin really oily, which is the weirdest thing ’cause the consistency of the lotion is not that thick. It really made me wonder if I kept using these products inevitably my face would break out like crazy.
The Radiance+Youth Elixir was a real disappointment. It was actually pretty irritating. I can’t believe she put alcohol in it. You might think it feels nice and cool but it is not good for your skin. It made my cheeks red.
The Calming+Soothing Elixir has a much thinner texture which wasn’t too bad for my oily parts. It felt nice going on, but I did need another cream for my cheeks for more moisture. The smell is pretty smoothing but again I’m paranoid about what all the fragrance oils are doing to my skin, i.e. irritating it.
