| Review | Maile Organics Botany Beauty Illuminating Serum
By now, you probably know my deep deep love for anything from Malie Organics but you don't even know yet about probably my favorite product from the Botany Beauty range! If you want your skin to truly look radiant and feel nourished, you NEED this serum!
The Maile Organics Botany Beauty Illuminating Serum retails for $45.00 USD and is available at Malie Organics. Let me first say, this is worth every penny! The serum is packaged in a beautiful frosted glass bottle, as is the rest of the Botany Beauty line. The bottle is a compact and sleek shape with a pump on top, making it so easy to dispense and control the amount of product being released.
The product is not what you may think it is, it's actually a oil! I have notice many brands these days coming out with these "serums" that are actually oil based and I am loving it! As a dry skin type, this is everything I want and more in a serum! The texture is rich but not heavy. It feels instantly nourishing and hydrating on the skin. You really don't need much product and a fair amount skins into the skin quite quickly but you will still have oil on the surface of your skin. To me this is very much welcome and I can see this working even for a more oily skin type. I just recommend that you spritz your face with a facial mists, my favorite is the Malie Organics Botany Beauty Hydrosol Facial Tonic (full review here), it helps lighten up the oil and helps it absorb much faster.
This serum really does make your skin GLOW! Every time I use it, I don't ever want to apply makeup because my skin looks so good! It looks so healthy and radiant! It just has this beautiful freshness that can't be mimicked easily. I love using it in the evening because when I wake up in the morning my skin is just so fresh and glowing! It feels so incredibly soft, nourished, and plump! I don't feel like I need to apply moisturizer in the morning because my skin is so well hydrated. This serum is a miracle serum and I must say, my favorite facial oil I have ever tried! It really is up there with some of the best face oils! The fragrance is really natural and soothing. It smells lightly of jasmine and rose, the floral fragrance is really relaxing.
