When you arrive home after a vacation feeling like you need a vacation, you know you overindulged. With plane air, salt water, and way too much sun and pasta, my skin needed to bounce back to reality faster than I did. Hence, my entire weekend became experiencing the très generous package I received from BY TERRY that included their new and ultra luxe Cellularose Brightening Aqua-Balm, Grain de Rose, TEA to TAN, and Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder. #MerciBeaucoup
Grain de Rose is the Resurfacing Micro-Scrub Mask and BY TERRY’s sole facial exfoliator. This pink clay based multi tasker purifies and absorbs excess oils while renewing the skin with rosebud extracts and fruit acids. After applying on clean dry skin and before letting it dry, I massaged away the misery of baggage claim and an hour long line through customs. The calming rose scent was better than Xanax. #SimmerDownNow
The most recent addition to the BY TERRY Cellularose range is the Brightening Aqua-Balm. Much lighter than the original Nutri-Baume, this fluffy whipped gel is just as hydrating but absorbs much more quickly. My skin was tired and thirsty and it showed. It needed intense hydration with some serious brightening STAT. The seafoam Baume d’Eau delivered all that plus its alluring signature floral scent. #AllThat
As a nourishing treatment, Cellularose Aqua-Balm is packed with radiance boosting rose extracts, vitamins and anti-pollutants. Ideal for morning or night time use, I actually used it twice a day for the entire weekend. After storing it in the fridge for a short time, I applied it as a mask to revive my face in just 15 minutes before letting anyone see me. Revitalizing was the name of the game afterall. #DontHateThePlayer
What blew me away the most in my BY TERRY stack is the TEA to TAN Water Color Bronzer in a completely non-transferable 100% water based formula. The ultra chic glass bottle with a dropper offers a bi-phase solution for Instant Double Glow options. Shake it before use to activate the amber micro prisms to add more radiance or don’t shake it at all to keep the watercolor effect matte. #GreatShakes
TEA to TAN is indeed the color of iced tea but it also contains Black and Read Tea extracts in its Native Active Water base. While one-shade-fits-all are all the rage now in the color correcting market, this BY TERRY invention creates a transparent tattoo like bronze glow that is truly universal. Apply this silky liquid to the palm of your hand and spread the radiance as needed. #TeaParty
Lastly (literally), the Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder is the step to seal, hydrate and smooth my weathered face, day or night. This triple jet milled powder is so fine that when you open the jar it actually lifts off like smoke. Encapsulated hyaluronic acid fills in pores, plumps up wrinkles, blurs imperfections, and is completely colorless and shine free. I cannot believe I just gave away my entire ‘come back from the dead’ weekend routine. #BitchStoleMyLook
