Ole Henriksen brand review

I remember first trying this brand years ago, Fleur de force used to go on about the vitamin c makeup wipes, i wasn’t crazy about them but the scent was to die for! At the same time i purchased the pure truth gel cleanser which was a beautiful product though i have a feeling it is now discontinued sadley. Then the brand went quiet in the UK for a couple years and out of no where boots brings it back bigger and better.

I have tried a few products now suited to my skin needs and this is gonna be my honest thoughts on the products and brand.

Truth range

The first products i bought from this range was a mini set containing the c rush brightening gel creme and the banana bright eye cream. I went through these so quick as i was actually noiticing a difference within my skin. 

The eye cream has a slight yellow tint which helps with slightly correcting darkness under the eyes, it is inbetween a think and thin texture so it is perfectly moisturising for the under eye area, i am now on my third pot, never have i been through even one eye cream so this must tell you something.

The moisturiser is a beautiful light gel texture, i have oily and dehydrated skin so this texture is right for me but really helps brighten my skin as i do suffer with dullness as well. It really nourishes my skin but doesn’t leave a greasy texture it sinks right in. Again i am now on my third pot.

The truth serum is again a lovely light texture serum that doesnt leave my skin greasy or oily, it sinks in and helps brighten the skin more. I have noticed a huge improvment on my skin texture and tone and putting it down to this amazing range. 

The great thing about these three products is they all come in minis its a great way to test them out to check they work for you before going in with the full size.

The banana bright face primer is their first makeup product they bought out which goes with the truth range. This is a beautiful glowy base that really radiates the skin, the scent is the same as the eye cream. Its fast becoming a favourite glowy base for me as i know its got skin care benefits within the product.

Balance range

This is one of the minis they sell seperatly, i didn’t actually mean to pick this up it was the toner i was interested in purchasing. But i am so glad it was the cleanser, the smell reminds me of buttermints, it has that strong tea tree scent then then goes to a toffee yet minty scent, i can’t get enough of it. I really feel like its working and cleansing deep into my skin with a nice tingle sensation from the ingredients. 

I picked up the balance babies set recently as i wanted to try the rest of the products. They are still new to me but i an loving them all. The sanua scrub i have never tried a scrub like it, is is incredibly thick and goes hot while applying it, it feels amazing. I have already noticed the toner and moistusier controlling my oils, ive noticed in the morning i am no where near as oily as i used to be.

Lucky pucker lip scrub

I love a lip scrub but i find it so annoying digging in with my fake nails and getting it everywhere. So when i saw Kathleen lights rave about this i knew i had to try it and OMG life changed! Never will i get another lip scrub in a pot, if this gets discontinued i am buying hundreds. The first time i used it i was like oh its more like an exfoliating lip balm and rather disappointed. I didnt know i had to get the top layer off first and then its an incredibly scrubby lip scrub, i love that you can just wind it up and rub it all over your lips with no mess what so ever. I use it every morning before lip balm which i didnt tend to do but because this is easy to use i now have no excuse. Trust me my lips are thanking  me and so will yours! 

Have you tried the brand before?
