little white truths

It's a clear product with a light, floral scent that isn't overpowering. I use mine in the morning after cleansing, and the product feels soothing, hydrating and refreshing when applied. 

More than this, I feel like it does something to my skin that allows my serum and moisturiser to do a better job. Yes this mist hydrates, but it almost feels as though it opens my pores a little - and not in a bad way. In a way that helps my other products to penetrate.

Indeed, I feel that it operates as a kind of essence and toner in one, because my skin is less dry after use and also better-prepped for whatever skincare comes next. That's why I think it's more special than most other mists that I've tried.

Overall, this is a beautiful product and I really like it. As for whether I would buy it - probably not - but I'm certainly enjoying it while I have it.

Omorovicza Balancing Moisturiser

This wound up being my favourite item in the set, which surprised me because it's designed for oily/combination skin (I'm dry) so in theory it's not for me but I do really like it. I've reviewed it here.

It's a lightweight, white cream and I agree that it's a 'gel-cream' because it's so thin and light, and I also agree that it has a cooling effect on the skin. It's one of those products that's refreshing to use and I enjoy the process of applying it to my face. Indeed, I look forward to it.

I use this in the morning and it's one of those creams that does absorb somewhat but it also leaves a coating on the skin so I don't feel that all of it is sinking in. While I'm ok with that because I do use a hydrating serum underneath it anyway (so this cream does a good job of sealing in my other products and creating a protective barrier over my face), I wanted to note this aspect because it mightn't be hydrating enough for some. 

Overall it's hard to pinpoint why I enjoy this cream so much because it's not as though it's performing backflips, but I always look forward to using it and my skin feels nice both during and after application, so that's probably got a lot to do with it. It's also hydrating enough for day-use (for me) and it plumps up my skin nicely so that's another thing to note.

Lovely but not worth the $130 AUD price-tag, in my opinion.

Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask

Full review here. This is my least favourite item in the set and I don't recommend dropping $112 AUD on the full size because it's not worth the money, in my opinion.

It's a standard-looking clay mask that's quite thin in texture. I've been using it around once a week since I bought it: I wouldn't use a mud mask any more than that on my dry skin, although you could probably use it more often if your skin is oily. I apply a thin layer, leave it there for around 20 minutes and then wash it off.

While this product doesn't feel uncomfortable on my dry skin as it dries down (or after I wash it off), the problem is that it doesn't really do anything for me. Yes my skin looks a little brighter after use and yes it feels a touch more refreshed, but I've used budget masks that do the same thing so I certainly wouldn't pay over a hundred dollars for this product.

I also don't feel that it does anything towards detoxifying my face or drawing out impurities, so using this product is always a waste of time for me and I'm looking forward to finishing it.

Not for me.

In sum

I do think this set is good value and the 30ml Balancing Moisturiser made up the cost of the kit for me because I enjoy it so much, and when you add in my two second favourites - the 30ml Cleansing Foam and Queen of Hungary Mist - all of a sudden it's a good buy.

Having said this, I wouldn't buy it again because I feel I've explored the range now and decided that although there's a lot to love about it, nothing is worth the huge price-tag for me personally. 

Also worth noting is that, during the testing period, I managed to get my hands on a few samples each of the Omorovicza Omoressence and Refining Facial Polisher, and neither of those grabbed me so I've now given seven items from Omorovicza's range a good test-run and learned that it's just not my brand. 

Yes I like what I've tried and I would certainly use most things again (not the face mask), but I wouldn't buy anything again because I find that brands like Alpha-H and Ren make cheaper products that do more for my skin than these do.

So yes, if you're desperate to try Omorovicza then this kit is a great way to do it, but I suggest grabbing some samples of these products first to see if you feel it's worth your money.

Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
