Hi hi!  This entry shall feature my NARSskin routine and products.  I am currently totally enjoying the range of NARSskin products, and if I use just 2 words to describe everything, I must say CLEAN & SIMPLE.    Every item in this range is so refreshing, so hydrating and just really enjoyable to use.  

Let's just go through my routine, and what I think of each item, the rest of the entry will contain the actual product information. 

(Steps which I did not mention, such as makeup removal, eye treatments mean that I did not use any of the NARSskin products, and using my existing stash of skincare)

Step One: Cleansing 

After removing my makeup, I use the Purifying Foam Cleanser, which contains little beads that gently exfoliate my skin, and it lathers well.  I love the scent of this - so citrusy - it reminds me of Lush's Ocean Salt.  I also like that the foam cleanser contains a decent 125ml of product.  It retails for USD29, which I am guessing by the time we have it here in SG, it will be just under S$50?  
I like that the foaming cleanser did not leave any sticky after feel when I rinse off.. and it makes my skin feel so clean and ready for toning.  Along with another product, this is one which I would highly recommend from the NARSskin range. 

Step Two: Toning

I will pump 4 - 5 times of the Multi Action Hydrating toner onto a cotton pad and slap it all over my face, to remove any more impurities on my skin.  I usually only do this at night, where I am more thorough in my routine. This also has a slight lemony citrus scent.  It is also a little sticky in consistency - but it doesn't feel stick when absorbed into the skin. 

Step Three: Day Cream

This is a great day cream for oily complexion because it is so light and so easily absorbed into the skin.  The gel texture is cooling and refreshing.  I really like the moisturiser - and if you have dehydrated or oily skin, you will love this product.  

Step Four: Masking/ Night Cream

I confess - I love this product the most among the NARSskin products.  It is recommended that you only use this mask 3 - 4 times a week.. But I have been using it almost every night.  When I apply the mask onto my skin, it has a cooling sensation, and when you blend it into your skin - the gel like mask turns to a watery liquid consistency (not dripping) - this totally reminds me of what the Sisley flower mask would feel like....and I think this would be perfect to bring on board if you are travelling and will suffer from dehydrated complexion.

Togther with the foaming cleanser, I think these two are the star products for me.  I would definitely purchase the Luminious mask and the foaming cleanser.  

My overal thoughts:

1. All the products are very refreshing and light-weight (and they smell so fresh!)
2. (prices are unavailable at the moment, I will update with prices as soon as I get information)
3. It's a very concise & simple skincare collection, fuss free, and yet addresses all steps of a proper routine. If your skincare condition is just to treat oily skin, or for a moisture perk, this range would be right up your alley.  If you have more concerns such as aging, spots, brightening, I believe that you need to look for a really specific targetted products. The NARSskin range that I am trying out is a great simple basic routine.
4. I haven't noticed any miracle results, but I can tell you that I really enjoy how moisturising and hydrating everything is without the usual creamy rich consistency. 

Overall, I highly recommend checking out the NARSskin collection
