Comments Off on Ultra Violette Fave Fluid SPF 50+ Skinscreen Review
Hey hey, how are you doing? I hope all is well. Today I have a sunscreen demo & review from a brand that is new to me. Last year I discovered more of Ultra Violette, a sunscreen brand based in Australia. I say more of because I had heard of this brand and tried one of their mineral sunscreens ages ago but I didn’t like it because it wasn’t invisible on me. I forgot about this brand until I saw this sunscreen set below.
I thought this was the perfect way to try out the brand again, with travel sizes of thier sunscreens to find one I loved before getting the full size. This post will be a full review on the very popular fav fluid (green)
What is it A chemical sunscreen with advanced filters that protect against both UVA & UVB rays. It also has vit E and amino acids for free radical protection & hydration and plumping the skin.
Experience The product is extremely lightweight and has a light fluid texture. It’s very runny and goes onto the skin with ease. It doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and I don’t feel it clogging pores. Is it invisible on dark skin? YES. This blends into the skin with zero white cast
What I really love about this sunscreen is how easy it is to layer on without no piling. I found it very easy to use and it leaves a nice dewy finish and hydrates the skin. It works well under makeup.
Conclusion We love a good sunscreen over here! A broad spectrum SPF with additional beneficial ingredients, the fav fluid ticks all the boxes. With zero cast on dark skin & and an extremely lightweight texture, this one is so great in the summer and for all skin types & tones.
Ps the other suitable SPFs in this set that are invisible on dark skin
Hand & body spf 50 (blue)- a body spf that feels slightly heavy on the skin and has a slight shimmer to it. I liked this and will get the mini size again as handcream in the summer
Preen Screen (Spf spray,pink)- now I love a dewy finish but this spray is TOO DEWY. It’s so shiny that it looks like sweat and I didn’t like it . The scent of alcohol in this is strong too. It’s invisible and won’t leave marks on makeup but the shine is too much. I ended up using it indoors at home as an spf. I wont repurchase
Did not enjoy
Supreme Screen (yellow one)- I’m not sure if this is supposed to be tinted but it’s heavy on the skin and left a slight cast. I didn’t enjoy using this.
Sheen Screen in Bejewelled- lovely subtle tint on the lips. Love the sun protection but the taste of this is so horrible. I didn’t like this so I stopped using it. I need to take my lip spf more seriously this year
Clean Screen (green)- do not attempt to use this is dark skinned lol- its not suitable and leaves a cast
Lean Screen (purple)- This is the one I had used previously. Its a mineral SPF which leaves a slight cast on the skin. It’s not the worst I’ve ever had but not 100% cast free
Based on the trial of all the SPFs, the 2 I would buy again are the hand & body and fav fluid as I enjoyed these the most. The rest of them I wont bother with. I actually got the Queen Screen SPF 50+ Luminising Serum in the SpaceNK advent calendar and I’m looking forward to this one! I watched a few videos on this and it is cast free on dark skin.
if you want to try the mini SPF gift set and the many others from the brand, they are available on Spacenk. They have lots of different sets so I’m sure you will find something suitable!

I have been really enjoying the new Dr.Jart Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturising Eye Cream for winter skin, so I thought I’d give you the lowdown. Here’s what you need to know.
What is Dr.Jart Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturising Eye Cream?
The Dr Jart Ceramidin line focuses on strengthening the skin barrier with a hefty dose of ceramides, which are crucial for hydration and protection. I’ve noticed that a lot of people tend to really suffer with dry skin around the eyes and on the eye lids when the weather is cold, so the launch of the Dr.Jart Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturising Eye Cream is perfectly timed.
Packaging
The eye cream comes in a simple pot with Ceramidin’s signature accent of yellow. I actually love an eye cream in a pot. There’s something very satisfying about it, especially with a gorgeous bouncy texture like this.
The texture of this eye cream is lovely! It has an addictive rich and bouncy texture and as you touch it, you pick up the tiniest yet perfect amount to moisturise the whole eye area.
It is rich but still light and feels super soothing and comfy on the skin. It’s like a hug for the eyes, and I think it’s the perfect option if you are suffering with any sensitivity and can’t handle anything too active right now.
In fact, if you are using something quite active, like a retinol for instance, this will be the perfect antidote to ensure that the delicate skin barrier around the eyes stays intact.
How It Feels
What I really like about this is that it sinks in so nicely and although you feel that the moisture levels are significantly boosted, it still feels light and comfortable, and it sit really well under makeup. You don’t need to worry about concealer slipping and sliding all over the place.
Who’s It For?
If you struggle with dry, tight skin around your eyes or simply want to boost hydration and support your skin barrier, this one’s for you. However, if dark circles are your main concern, this might not be a miracle worker—it’s more about moisture than pigmentation correction.
I think this will be a great product to have in your stash for when your eye area needs some TLC. It has some excellent ingredients in the formula that are guaranteed to keep that all important skin barrier intact.
Where to buy it
The Dr.Jart Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturising Eye Cream is £32 for 15ml and it’s available now via the links below:

My Review of the Estée Lauder x Ladurée Collection
Estée Lauder x Ladurée Lip Oils
Before we even talk about the products, let’s take a moment to swoon over the packaging. Inspired by Ladurée’s famous macarons and elegant patisserie boxes, every detail feels super luxurious. Think soft pastels, gold accents, and a chic vintage vibe. It’s the kind of makeup you want to constantly have on display rather than hide in a drawer.
Apparently this baroque aesthetic has been pinpointed as one of the strong trends of 2025 by Pinterest, so this collection could be super popular.
I think the lip oils are my favourite. I love the shades, although I do think they have mixed up the shade descriptions I have been given, so make sure you refer to my swatches rather than the words.
The doe-foot applicator is nice and big, yet defined, so application is really easy.

And the product itself looks and feels great on the lips. They glide on effortlessly, leaving lips nourished and plump with just a hint of colour. Check out all my swatches above.

I also think the lipstick set is really cool. I love how there’s a refill in a different shade that can switch in and out of the packaging depending on what you want to wear that day. I actually think that at £49 for two lipsticks with the limited edition keep-forever packaging, it’s actually a pretty good deal for this EL formula. I suppose it really comes down to whether you like the shades.
Rebellious Rose is a little too pink for me, but I love the nudey brown tones of Indulgent. The design on the bullets and the packaging in general is just stunning.

The formula is what you’d expect from Estée Lauder – super comfortable, hydrating, and long-lasting.
The eyeshadow palette offers up such a pretty range of shades and the packaging is just adorable.
My personal favourite shades are the browns one, Chocolate Crémeux and Cocoa Canelle. I really love the tones and I think they have the most superior formula. Unfortunately, I don’t think every shade is as good as these in terms of texture, so although it is beautiful, and definitely worth picking up as a collector, I don’t think it will be for your real eyeshadow junkie.
Also, personally eight shades is too much for me these days. I tend to be a one and done kind of girl. I basically stick to my REESON Lid Elixir* most days.
