Another Sunday, another Sample. It’s a Simple Sample. A Simple Sample Sunday. Does anyone else love ridiculously bad jokes and puns? I feel like there is a dad trapped inside me, infecting my sense of humour and making people cringe and roll their eyes whenever I crack a joke.
Anyway, enough warbling. This weeks Sample is Simple Illuminating Radiance Cream. I quite like the idea of having my skin illuminated, it reminds me of pretty things lit up in the dark. I expected a brightening effect, like my Soap & Glory Be Youthful Serum has, so I decided to skip it for the day and replace it with this. That was a mistake.
The Illuminating Radiance Cream is quite thick and needs a bit of man power to be worked into the skin. It is not one of those creams that just melts into your skin! Once I’d got it all absorbed, I inspected my face to see if my skin was illuminated to find that my skin was basically glittery. Not shimmery like you would get with a highlighter. Glittery. After my initial “oh my god” reaction, I accepted that the glitter wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t terrible. It would be more subtle underneath makeup, but I am firmly against glitter on your face!
The cream itself made quite a good moisturiser, probably down to the thickness of it. I’ve been having quite dry skin due to a mask I’m using for my spots so it was nice to have a thicker moisturiser on without looking greasy, however I’d recommend going for just the normal Simple moisturiser over the Illuminating Radiance Cream unless you want to resemble a glitter ball.
If you do fancy sparkling for the day, you can pick up the Simple Illumination Radiance Cream here.
