Beauty Product Reviews

The texture changes

My biggest peave with it is that during the winter months the texture changes to little fat dots suspended in the balm that I have to reincorporate by mixing on the back of my hand for what feels like FOREVER every night.

I even thought that something went wrong with it until the summer months hit and it all magically melded back into its proper consistency. (I live in northern Ohio)

Second issue is that the smell is strong. It’s not unpleasant but it’s there and it doesn’t leave. This is definitely a night only treatment unless you enjoy smelling very herbally and MUSKY in public.

However, having stopped use and started again after weeks long break I can confirm it has a VERY noticeable effect on my skin! Definitely moisturizing but also balancing and calming and clarifying. All that jazz. I’m even considering repurchasing despite the issues.

I’d like to also say a big yay that it’s on beautylish and that people can now read REAL unfiltered reviews. I don’t know what was going on but months ago when I bought this on their website there were only perfect 5 star reviews. Like for real. That makes any issues you encounter with the product doubly annoying. Especially one this costly.

Ehh

Holding it in my hands makes me doubt the price. Everything but the magnets is plastic and that makes perfect sense for professional use but did it have to be such cheap looking plastic? The buckle on the hand strap has scratchy edges from the uneven mold with a coating of rose gold paint that almost but not quite matches the stud on the end of the strap which also doesn't quite match the almost copper gold color of the logo. The adjustment buckle is a much better matte black plastic material but what's happened to the rose gold theme we had going? Also the magnets are attached to the plastic with glue that splays out beyond the magnet on the pallet and the strap buckle. I don't have a better idea for attaching them.. I'm just saying it looks a bit like a messy craft project. Those little things might not bother anyone else who is only here for the functionality of the piece but they make me think a bit hard about the fact that I paid $26 for this thing..
