Fresh Seaberry Restorative Body Cream & Supernova Radiance Brightening Pen

The Fresh Seaberry Restorative Body Cream (£19) contains omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9 and the star ingredient Seaberry oil. Seaberry oil is meant to be a powerful antioxidant, high in vitamins A and E.
The cream is thick yet absorbs easily into the skin, leaving no stickiness, or a greasy feel. Its very rich and gives instant and long lasting hydration. This cream gives tangible results, I had a rash on my arm from a reaction to a body oil and this cream calmed and relieved the area and I also had a little patch of dryness which I've had for years and within 2 weeks daily use of this, the dryness is almost gone.
It comes in a pump so no mess. My picture of the ingredients of this was not readable so here they are from the site:
AQUA (WATER), DICAPRYLYL CARBONATE, CERA ALBA (BEESWAX), DIMETHICONE, PRUNUS ARMENIACA (APRICOT) KERNEL OIL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PALMITIC ACID, PEG-100 STEARATE, STEARIC ACID, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), CETYL ALCOHOL, NEOPENTYL GLYCOL DIHEPTANOATE, SHOREA ROBUSTA SEED BUTTER, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, SQUALANE, MALTOOLIGOSYL GLUCOSIDE, ZEA MAYS (CORN) STARCH, HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES OIL, VACCINIUM MACROCARPON (CRANBERRY) SEED OIL, LIMONIUM GERBERI EXTRACT, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF EXTRACT, TOCOPHEROL, SODIUM POLYACRYLATE, HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE, HYDROGENATED POLYDECENE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, JOJOBA ALCOHOL, POTASSIUM JOJOBATE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, XANTHAN GUM, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, BENZOIC ACID, DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PPG-5-LAURETH-5, DISODIUM EDTA, LINALOOL, LIMONENE, CITRAL, COUMARIN, GERANIOL, PHENOXYETHANOL <06444/A>

Whilst the scent is typical of the Fresh body care range, its not quite as sweet and more to the citrus side.

As I continue to amass every under eye concealer possible, I couldn't resist buying the Supernova Radiance Brightening Pen (£18.50)

The texture is somewhat thicker and more creamy than the majority of other clicky/twistable pen brush applicator concealer/highlighter hybrids.
I was surprised that it felt so lightweight. Coverage is light to medium, I'd say it does more in concealing than it does brighten. It doesn't settle into lines but it does require a dusting of powder to last the entire day.I bought the lightest shade#1, which is a bit too dark for me.
Swatches L-R: Estee Lauder Double wear Light 01, Diorskin Nude 001 ivory, Fresh Supernova shade 1, YSL Touche Eclat shade 2, Rouge Bunny Rouge Luminous Skin Wand Orionis.

Ingredients:

I bought these from the Fresh London store on Marylebone High Street, Tel: 020 7486 4100

  1. I love a good body lotion but tend to slather it and as a consequence it is the one area that I economise on as fortunately my body skin is far more robust than that of my face - so saying it is fab to hear about body products that soothe and heal. I like the look of the Fresh concealer, I am finding my touchradianteclat a tad feeble at the moment so thankyou for this. Jan x

  3. I just picked up some Fresh skincare and am loving them so far. I definitely agree with you on the texture of the body cream. It's not sticky and leaves the skin super smooth.

  5. Hi Jan,
    The Fresh cream seems very concentrated so you might not have to slather as much as normal ;) I need all the concealer help I can get at the moment, although I do have my eye on the new Shu one as I have heard its meant to be amazing x

    Hi luv2smilexo,
    They do a little travel size version so you could always buy that to try. I'm sorry to hear you have psoriasis, I used to know someone who had severe psoriasis and hers only went down loads when she had a baby, which is odd, probably easier to give the cream a try though ;)

    Hi Kristie,
    They do make some lovely products don't they, I really love their showergels as well :)

    Hi Jane,
    LOL, I always think my concealer/foundation pics make the product look to dark, guess I must have freakishly pale arms which make the colour contrast too intense x

  6. I have that problem with foundations and concealers too. The underside of my arm IS freakishly paler that the rest of my skin. I always concentrate on the colour relative to one I 'know' if you know what I mean?

  7. Hi Jane,
    Yeah I get you. Maybe we need to borrow a less pale arm ;) x
