ELES Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation SPF 15

I personally LOVE this gem of a product and since it’s the no.1 best seller on BC, our customers clearly feel the same! If you are a lover of matte foundations but after something soft, subtle and natural looking, then you should invest in this beauty! Not only does it provide a flawless, smooth, powder finish, it’s also mineral-enriched (so great for your skin) and provides broad spectrum sun protection! Honestly what more could you ask for!

5/5✭

“Amazing foundation! So easy to apply with fingertips and has great coverage whilst looking natural and not settling into lines. Excellent match for my skin colour with smooth luminous finish that’s perfect for my late 40’s skin needs.”  Clarissa

5/5✭

“I have been using this product for 10 years+ and cannot fault it. It is light, silky and even though my skin is oil based it does not leave it clogged like many other foundations I have used previously.
I absolutely recommend anyone to try it to see how beautiful it is to wear.”  Debrah

5/5✭

“This is the best foundation I have ever used! Firstly, it’s mineral makeup so it doesn’t clog your skin. Secondly the coverage is amazing and it makes your skin look and feel like velvet – honestly the best I have ever used. I have been using this for years and just love it. I get compliments on my makeup all the time.” Sia P

I swear I have less visible lines and wrinkles thanks to this superstar cream and our customers agree too.

ELES Age Defying BB Cream 30

Another product I’m a huge advocate for! This time it’s this multifaceted wonder cream from ELES Cosmetics. It has the perfect light, dewy coverage and literally primes, tints, nourishes, protects (thanks to its SPF of 30) and evens out skin tone all in one! for a truly natural and flawless finish, plus it feels like you aren’t wearing makeup at all! Honestly, if you are a busy mum on the go like me, this product is one you should seriously consider too! It’s your sunscreen, primer, and foundation in one!

What’s more, thanks to its skin-loving ingredients including Vitamin E, Goji berry, Squalane; its multi-mineral complex, and age defying peptides, over time it will help to promote cell health, strengthen elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and restore that natural glow you once donned!

5/5✭

Mineral Sheer Tint SPF 20

I know I’m biased but I really do love all the foundations from ELES Cosmetics, but this one has to be my favourite go-to for the summer season! It is sooo nourishing, dewy and light on the skin, and provides the perfect natural sun-kissed glow.  It’s also rich in Vitamins A & E and SPF to condition and protect skin. Looking for effortless coverage that leaves skin with a natural radiance glow, this is it!

5/5✭

“This tint is the best thing EVER for summer days – really sheer but it just evens out your skin tone and gives it a lovely glow. It stays in place and seems to be incredibly sweat resistant and also doesn’t wipe off on clothes or settle into pores. Miracle!” Jenni

Holy Grail Toner! I have tried so many toners at basically every price point and this toner is my all-time favourite. There’s just something in this toner that truly leaves my skin better for use. Even after it dries off my skin does not feel tight or dry. If you’re in the market for a new toner I highly highly recommend giving this one a try.” Barbara

This is the best toner I have used so far. I have sensitive skin and have been breaking out recently due to pregnancy hormones. This has really helped keep my skin clean and refreshed.

Phytomer Vegetal Exfoliant with natural enzymes 

Exfoliation is important for everyone, even those with the most sensitive of skin, but finding the right exfoliator to suit can be tricky. We therefore aren’t at all surprised that Phytomer’s Vegetal Exfoliant has been in the top 10 for a number of years now! It is a seriously soft, silky and subtly scented exfoliant for all skin types, as it eliminates impurities by gently removing dead skin cells with natural enzymes (so no scrubbing or irritating the skin whatsoever!) This formidable exfoliator encourages cell turnover, revealing beautifully luminous and youthful skin after every use – no jokes! So if you aren’t a lover of physical exfoliators (the ones with the bits!) the Vegetal Exfoliant is for you!  

5/5✭

I bought this after reading the reviews and it makes my skin glow and feel silky. Totally worth it!!” Justine

5/5✭

“I have been using this product for over ten years because of my very sensitive skin. It isn’t gritty, which keeps my skin from getting irritated, and it very gently removes dead dull skin. Always leaves my skin glowing and even toned with no redness or irritation. I usually follow with Phytomer’s deeply hydrating Hydracontinue mask and it is like having baby skin again. Highly recommend!” Laura

5/5✭

“Love this Vegetal Exfoliant, after using it twice a week I notice more clear skin without irritation or redness.I have very sensitive skin and are wary of exfoliants since most of them have chemical ingredients. No redness but fresh looking skin. My favourite exfoliant now.” Phoenix
