Boscia Bright Stars Kit Review

March 22, 2014

Today’s post will be about the Boscia Bright Stars Kit from Sephora. I picked up this set for $54 as I wanted to try some new skin care products.

There were 8 products in total which makes it approximately $7 for each deluxe sample size. I think it’s a bit expensive but overall a great way to try out a new brand!
Makeup Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil 50mL
5/5
I LOVE this product! It’s such a unique formula. It’s an oil that completely cleans off your makeup including eyeliner and mascara and it has this cushiony effect that I’ve never felt before. I would definitely recommend checking this out if you want a cleanser that takes off everything.
Purifying Cleansing Gel 150mL
5/5
I also love this one as well! My favorite part is that it’s sulfate free and doesn’t irritate my eyes at all. This has a nice natural scent and foams up nicely. And it’s really easy to use since you can wash your entire face but still be able to open your eyes and not have it sting!

Bottom: Purifying Cleansing Gel
Look how pretty the packaging is!
Self-Defense Vital Antioxidant Moisture SPF 15mL
1/5
This is the one product I really didn’t enjoy in this set. The moisturizer is too thin for my liking and I have dry skin so this doesn’t quench my skin. Also the SPF or something in this lotion leaves behind this really dry feeling. So after using this my skin always flakes. Maybe good for oil skin looking for SPF but this was not good for my dry skin.
Super Charge Overnight Moisture 15mL
4/5
As you can see, I used a lot more of this as I would use it day and night. This is a medium consistency lotion and absorbs really fast. I love the light green tea scent and it does moisturize quite well. I wouldn’t say it’s typical of an “overnight” super charge lotion though but it’s good for daily use.
Enlivening Amino Acid Eye Treatment 7mL
3/5
This was a nice serum. It felt luxurious and soothing to apply but I noticed no difference. I was hoping it would lighten my dark circles but nope. Although I don’t really believe any eye cream can.
Left to Right: Daytime, Nighttime, Eye

 

Left to Right: Daytime, Nighttime, Eye
Tsubaki Beauty Oil 15mL
5/5
I only started using this but I really like it! It absorbs much faster than Josie Maran’s argan oil and I also like the scent a lot better. Would recommend this for sure to anyone looking for a beauty oil alternative.
Green Tea Blotting Linens 100 Sheets
4/5
I never use blotting paper as I have really dry skin. I’ve used this a couple times to just experiment with it and I do like it. It doesn’t disturb the makeup and it doesn’t make my skin more dry. However, I just don’t have enough experience with blotting paper to say if it’s better or not.

Overall

Overall I really enjoyed trying out these items and most of these I liked! I would definitely repurchase the two cleansers and I really like the night time moisturizer and the beauty oil.
What’s your favorite brand for skincare?

Inspired by the changing fall colors of the Japanese maple, this beautiful kissu lip mask now has a berry red tint. I love the moisturizing squalane and Japanese peach extracts. My dry lips have never felt so hydrated and soft. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for a smooth and plump lip with a hint of color. 

🍮 The packaging is also stunning with the maple motifs on the lid that makes this display worthy in any bathroom or vanity!

It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two weeks with a newborn have been full of challenges and adjustments. But it's nice to take a break and go through some of my beauty products as a break 🤭.

Here are my top three face creams for the changing weather especially if you have dry skin!

Swatched from left to right: clarins, drunk elephant, aestura 

👌  moisturizing face creams for dry skin

Clarins Extra Firming: I love the day and night version of this cream. The night is even more heavy duty and creamy so sometimes I use the day version only 💫

It's got a beautiful scent and amazing collagen technology to plump the skin!

Aestura Atobarrier Lotion: this is a newer korean brand thats available now at Sephora. Part of the amorepacific family, so you know it'll be good!

The packaging is very simple and unassuming but I love how this soothes the skin! Its quite lightweight in texture but I used this when I was sick and it saved my nose after blowing into tissue a gazillion times a day! 🩵

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier: im always a big fan of drunk elephant. This one is my favorite face cream from the brand. I love the pump packaging and this is perfect if you want hydration and barrier support!
