5 Mini Reviews: Sophyto, S5, Weleda & Melvita

Wednesday, 16 April 2014

A collective handful of hits and misses in this 5 Mini Reviews post today.  Here are my thoughts on these samples!

(1)  Sophyto Balancing Daily Moisturizer
I had high hopes for this as I've seen a couple of green bloggers rave about Sophyto products in general, but alas, this moisturiser wasn't for me.  It left a slightly tacky feel to the skin that I didn't like and for some reason, this made my foundation go on really patchy afterwards.  Not impressed.
Purchase the full size?  Nope!

(2)  Sophyto Purifying Silken Cleanser
In conjunction with the moisturiser above, I used this cleanser and again was disappointed.  The texture is lovely though - very silky and it feels high-end, but it just didn't perform well for me.  Whenever I used it, I was left feeling like my skin wasn't completely clean.
Purchase the full size?  No. 

(3)  S5 Purity Serum*
I was so, so sad to see this run out, absolutely loved it!  It's amazing for anyone who suffers with problematic skin.  I did still get the occasional odd blemish every now and again whilst I was using this, but didn't experience any new breakouts which for me is a massive bonus point.
Purchase the full size?  Currently saving up for the big bottle!

(4)  Weleda Citrus Creamy Body Wash
This smells incredible - very uplifting and zesty as you'd imagine.  I love the formulas of Weleda's Creamy Body Washes and would recommend them to anyone who has dry skin.
Purchase the full size?  Yes.

(5)  Melvita Rose Cleansing Oil*
Another hit for me, great texture and scent, and it just got the job done.  Removed all of my makeup (including waterproof mascara) easily and efficiently without the need to scrub.  I really enjoyed having this little travel size bottle in my weekend bag and it lasted ages too.
Purchase the full size?  Yes.

Have you tried any of these?

    1. I was so disappointed by these two - they came in a try me set from a Love Lula order and I'm so glad I didn't splurge and buy full sizes! Glad it's not just me who isn't a fan. The Melvita Cleansing Oil is fab, well worth trying out :) xx

  8. I must try the Melvita Cleansing Oil, I love cleansing oils as I find it's really gentle on the skin and it doesn't strip your skin of anything!
