It’s been a while since I did that thing where I launch a series of videos with the intention of creating regular, seasonal content but then inevitably fail to keep going after a few episodes: so here’s a new one. The best of the beauty launches. I’m actually very excited about this one, so much so that I can’t even remember any of the other series that I promised regular content on (was it skincare routines and “what’s in my makeup bag”?).
Anyway, brilliant new launches this season include a moisturising foundation for dry skin (truly moisturising and comes in twenty-eight shades), a holiday perfume that’s a fresher alternative to Bronze Goddess, an excellent, high-performing vitamin C serum that won’t break the bank and a workable version of Weleda’s bestselling Skin Food moisturiser.
Click play to find out what I’ve been testing and how it all fared – there’s a list of featured products underneath the video pane, should you be inclined to cheat. I can tell you though, that if you do jump ahead to the list then you won’t hear about the nicest cleanser in current existence…

Thanks for the vid Ruth. You’ve mentioned Kate Somerville Retinol + vita C, and medik8 r-retinoate in some of your recent launches reviews. in your opinion, which one is better? Especially in terms of irritation. They’re both meant to be pretty strong. I’ve used Paula’s 1% and seem to tolerate it well, and I’m looking to up the strength/switch up a bit. Thanks a bunch.
I’d say that the PC one feels stronger than both the others, tbh! But maybe my skin/perceptions of strength are weird! : )
What about the Neostrata? Caroline Hirons has been doing a really in-depth series on retinol, listing strengths and so on, is well worth a look! xx
I thought I’d hate it due to my dislike for lime, but damn if that Atelier Pacific Lime isn’t brilliant.
: )
