Clearly this is a mighty good offer, especially if you are already a Murad fan, have gifts to buy, or are wanting to update your skincare.
I was kindly sent the Embrace Balance kit to try, but I’m sure it would be a beauty blogging crime if i didn’t order another set right now, i have got my eye on the Renew Radiance

Dr Murad: Hybrids Makeup Range

Dr Murad have introduced a small range of makeup products to compliment it’s vast skincare collection. The Hybrids range aims to deliver flawless skin not only as a makeup product, but also by providing deeper skin boosting ingredients.

I am already a fan of the ‘Eye Lift Perfectors’ which increase skin firmness by 50% in 15 mins, and take away the tired ‘haven’t slept enough’ dark cirlcles using a neutralizing violet formula. Application is a bit hit and miss, i’d prefer a brush tip as opposed to the current angled pen end. However, my eyes were instantly brightened so i was happy!

 The Skin Perfecting Primers come in two finishes, Dewy or Matte. They can be used alone or under foundation, helping to give a flawless, smooth look to skin. The technology in the products smooth away pores, provide an even complexion and balance oil production. The primers also adjusts to the colour of your individual skin tone, hence why there is only one shade available. The ‘matte’ version also keeps shine and oil at bay throughout the day.

Skin Perfecting Primer Matte

I have been using the Skin Perfecting Primer Matte for a few weeks now, and so far am quite impressed. It’s a very light formular which sinks quickly into skin. Although it visibily covers pores and smaller blemishes, its still not enough coverage for me, so i use a small amount of my normal foundation over it. Using the product this way does help give a much more even finish, and love that my pores are less visible.

Spotty Skin and Wrinkles

It’s bad enough having spots, but what happens when you have to deal with spots AND wrinkles. That’s got to  be a confidence killer. Which one do you deal with first? And will dealing with one, worsen the other. It can be a bit of a vicious circle, and quite a disheartening one at that.
I recently learnt about a range which had me asking ‘why hasn’t anyone done this before?’ Dr Murad’s Anti Ageing Blemish Control is a skincare collection which tackles spots and wrinkles together. This line concentrates on delivering hydration to the skins cells, something Murad calls ‘The Science of Cellular Water’ while also clearing blemishes.

The range features 3 key ingredients:
●Sailicylic Acid which treats blemishes for hours after using the product
●Silver Citrate, a natural antibacterial which targets the bacteria that have invaded the skins environment
●Kombucha Collagen Defense, stimulates collagen production and prevents further breakdown of it.


Dr Murad’s Anti Ageing Blemish Control Products:
●Time Release Blemish Cleanser: Delivers a drip feed type blemish treatment to the skin whilst topping up hydration to help keep skin supple.
●Blemish & Wrinkle Reducer: A serum type formula which helps combat blemishes and fight fine lines.
●Anti Ageing Moisturiser SPF20: Helps promote youthful skin by aiding hydration and collagen at deeper levels, offering spot control. Contains SPF 20
