Nutrimetics Haul
Howdy doody readers!
I finally crumbled and have jumped on the Nutrimetics Bandwagon and ordered some items :)
I ordered 3 items, which came in a silver tote bag complete with big red bow and the brand name on it. Very festive!
Here is a group photo of all the items!
#1 Ultracare+ Microdermabrasion Kit
AU$85.00
I had read really good reviews about this product from independent sites so I thought I would give it a go. The kit contains a Resurfacer in a toothpaste-like tube (60mL). The Resurfacer contains quartz crystals and lavender flower extract. The Resurfacer is a white paste with little grey flecks in it (quartz particles). It has a very faint lavender fragrance which is rather pleasant.
The box contains instructions on how to rub it on your face. It feels very gritty and ex-foliates really well. You do have to be careful you don't rub too hard or in one spot for too long as you will injure your skin!
The second bottle is a pump (yay) canister of the Rehydrator SPF25 (40mL). This is nice and soothing and is highly recommended as the skin will be sensitive to sunlight after your treatment.
Recommended treatment is once or twice a week. This kit is NOT recommended for sensitive skin types.
I found it did a good job ex-foliating my skin and I had a lovely tingly feeling for a short while after my treatment. I think it does a good job, but for the price tag of $85 I won't be repurchasing when I can get cheaper ex-foliators which do the same job.
Ultracare+ Moisturising System Duo
AU$59.00
Nutrimetics Blurb says "This light oil-free serum provides continuous hydration to the skin, and locks it in to prevent moisture loss, smoothing the appearance of skin and keeping it looking fresh and soft. Buy one and get one free."
So this serum came in two boxes tied together with a red chiffon ribbon for the festive season.
The bottles are silver with red writing on them. They have a giant dropper to draw up the serum which I found awkward and clumsy to use.
The serum is clear and of a thin gel consistency which spreads really easily. It is quickly absorbed and dries leaving a very thin layer on the skin, hard to describe, it's not an unpleasant feeling by any means.
However, I find that when I use my Nivea Pure & Natural Day Cream or my Avon Anew Reversalist Night cream (I use the serum twice a day after cleansing) the creams I put on top seem to flake and ball up a bit. This is really disappointing as I was hoping it would perform better. I recently finished off my Avon A-F33 serum which was pricey (AU$65) but did a great job of moisturising and didn't make my creams flake and ball-up.
I will persist with this for another few days. However I'm not really impressed by this item at all so far.
nc Sheer Tint Make-Up SPF 15 (On special AU$13.90 - usual RRP $20)
This item I bought thinking it would be like a BB cream. It appears to be on paper. But when they said sheer they weren't lying. It's sheer alright, so sheer its literally like putting an un-tinted moisturiser on. As you can see from the swatch on my hand above - I did spread it on my skin on the left of the photo, and it disappeared!!!!! Another dud. On the plus side, it does feel nice on my skin and makes it feel soft.
So in summary, 2 items aren't good. One product is good - but over-priced for what it does. I really expected more than this from Nutrimetics! Have you used Nutrimetics products? I hope your experience was better than mine! Comment below!
