Rachel asked
me to review some of Biofresh Skincare’s beautiful products, this was actually
very exciting as normally I can only afford Tesco Finest Range, so to
have some decent products in my hands was quite a thrill.

I was
given ‘Yoghurt of Bulgaria’ probiotic day cream (collagen expert), and some of
their Bellapierre mineral makeup range – Bellapierre's 5-in-1 mineral
foundation and Bellapierre's mineral face & body bronzer.
After
cleansing my face, I moisturised with the probiotic day cream
made with only natural ingredients to boost skin cell renewal
and rejuvenate the skin, and they've added healthy bacteria to combat unwanted
skin bacteria that can cause break-outs. Anyway, it seems a great idea but was
hard to say how well it worked as it would take a number of uses to properly
assess, but it certainly felt very pleasant on my skin and was absorbed very
easily.
This is just after I applied the moisturiser!
My one
real problem is that I have pale skin, and the sample shade was ‘Cinnamon’,
which was a bit too dark for me, but I'm sure would suit others well. Fine to
use if I wanted to fake tan before clubbing or going to Wes, but in contrast to
my skin tone, I think I would have been better with ‘Ivory’ for everyday
wear. It's good to know they do a wide range of shades though. Not to worry, I
still gave it a go!
To use
the foundation, I tapped a small amount of powder into the lid of
the pot, and using my sister's
expensive and rather wonderful flat headed buffer brush, picked
up a tiny bit, tapped off the excess and made small circular movements over my
face, picking up more foundation as I needed to layer the look. It went on
remarkably well and felt great. I kept applying layers of foundation over
problem areas, like the odd spot or blotchy patch, until I was happy with the
cover.While applying the mineral foundation and the finished effect!
My skin actually felt really smooth afterwards, but probably the best bit for me was that my cheeks didn't look like they had dry skin at all. This has been happening to me a lot recently with my usual liquid foundation, but didn't with this mineral foundation. I think it's because my normal cheaper foundation probably contains things like talc, oils, synthetic preservative and dyes, which can lead to break-outs, but this Bellapierre foundation doesn't and it also has completely natural ingredients, which they say allows my skin to breathe, I could barely feel it on my face!
I think
it would be very good for teens or anyone with problems like spots, red patches
or dry skin, as it covered extremely well with a little build up, but still
looked very natural… despite the shade! Also because it doesn't damage the skin
it means you can leave it on overnight and it will be fine (not that I am
saying you should do that!).
I also
love the fact it is waterproof and has a good SPF, so important for my pale
skin with the good weather coming!
Moving on to the bronzer, I used the shade ‘Starshine’, and
using another of my sister's wonderful round tip brushes, I tapped the powder
into the lid, and gently brushed it on my forehead, under the
cheekbones, and a small amount on my chin and the tip of my nose to shade my
face.
Well this bronzer felt as good as the foundation, which was a
very pleasant surprise as in the past I've found bronzers a bit drying or hard
to apply. It's described by Bellapierre as an “award-winning silky-smooth
powder”, and honestly, it was. For someone prone to occasional dry patches, it
really did make them feel better and seemingly disappear. And you can use it on
your legs, or anywhere else you want to tan too!After I applied the mineral bronzer:
So, have a look at my before and after photos and see what you think! I must say I was impressed. The day cream was lovely, and both the foundation and bronzer went on very well, made my skin feel great, and covered blemishes completely. They are now on my Christmas list (along with some decent brushes) – such a shame it is months away!
Rachel from Forever Fabulous also wanted to try the foundation and bronzer for you all and put them to the test and show you what it is like on someone in their 30s! Rachel loves Biofresh products and uses the skincare range regularly, she also loves the fact that the mineral range does not cause the skin to dry and loved the ease of application. These products are now a firm fixture in Rachel’s professional makeup kit and she uses them on young, mature and problem skins, also fabulous on brides. The Bellapierre range of mineral cosmetics is universal for all ages and skins and that is what makes this natural brand so special!
This was taken just after the gym, Rachel wanted you to see that these products work wonders!
