A few months ago I was chosen by the incredibly lovely @jozkid to receive a gratis that included some amazing items! I could rave on and on about the NARS - Ignited Eyeshadow Palettebut this post is actually about the FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair BarriAIR Cream
i love FAB skincare, and the ultra repair saved my skin in the winter, so I was excited to try. The scent is comparable if you’re familiar with the ultra repair (super light, smells like lotion if that makes sense?). The texture is very light and airy. It actually foams up a bit, so it seems like it’ll evaporate actually if you take too long to use it, or don’t seal it properly. In either case, I was so-so on it initially.
now that the weather is warming up, I’ve ditched my heavier moisturizers (for now) and decided to give the Barriair a fair shot. My first impression was totally wrong! I love this stuff. My skin feels smooth and hydrated, and it absorbs quickly. It plays well under makeup. It seems to give a slight blurring effect on me, which is great for no makeup days. The texture seems like it would have dimethicone in it, but I checked the ingredients and it doesn’t! It contains the same colloidal oatmeal as the ultra repair, which is nice for sensitive, irritated or skin suffering from redness or irritation. I’m really happy with this product, and will repurchase it for the warmer months. Obviously I almost run out AFTER the sale ... luckily it’s very reasonably priced.
The only thing is that it does contain lecithin, which I don’t have any sensitivies to, but I do know some people who are allergic to it, so be careful!
