At last month's Sephora VIB sale, I picked up a couple of items that I instantly fell in love with. Since I wanted to make sure the sentiment lasted, I've been using these products daily and feel confident enough to deliver an unbiased review. I think I've found the best, budget-friendly skincare line - belif. I know I've focused on skincare quite a bit lately, but the unofficial summer kickoff is coming in a few weeks, and we want great skin so we can skip the makeup.
The two products I have (and already love) are the Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist and The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb.
The Better:
With the cleanser, I needed to replace my current product when I ran out since, even though it was my favorite cleanser up to that point, it contained all sorts of fragrance, dyes, and nasty chemicals. The Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist is a deep-cleaning balm that you can feel working without making the skin feel tight after rinsing. A huge plus: you only need about two drops, so this bottle will last close to year even with daily use.
I also wanted a night cream to help seal in all the oils and treatments used in my nighttime routine, but I didn't want to double up on my uber-expensive La Mer (once a day is all I can afford at this stage in life!). After some research, I purchased this gel-like cream, and it does a perfect job.
The Worse:
This is super nit-picky, but I wish the lid of the cleanser was a flip-top instead of a screw top...it gets a bit cumbersome in the shower. With the moisturizer, it definitely sits on top of the skin. That's why I specifically wanted this formula, but some folks might really dislike it. When this jar runs out, I'd like to try another version just for fun.
The Verdict:
With something for every skin type and a very affordable price tag for the amount of product as well as the amazing ingredients, I highly recommend not only these products, but also the entire line.
For a last-minute Mother's Day gift, Sephora has some nice belif gift sets!
