nspa Beauty Rituals Beauty Balm

Hello! Today I am going to be reviewing the Beauty Balm from nspa. I have seen nspa products around for a while now while doing my food shopping at Asda at university and was very kindly sent the Beauty Balm by nspa to try out. This brand is exclusive to Asda which I think is going to make doing my food shopping on my own a little bit more bearable once I get back to university in September and with the products ranging from £3 to £7, it's not going to break the bank if you pop a few items in your basket!

Beauty Balms or BB creams have been a beauty buzz word for quite a while now and are known for 'blurring' any lines and wrinkles or blemishes on the skin while providing a light colour coverage. I was actually really pleased when I was sent this particular product as I had used the Garnier BB cream after buying it last year only the night before I received this in the post. I was thinking how wrong the shade was for my skin and how I didn't really like the effect it gave. The nspa one however was the perfect colour for my skin tone. 

As you can see there is actually quite a bit of difference between the balm and my natural skin colour (which is pretty much Casper the friendly ghost) but once applied to the face it blends really nicely and doesn't leave those awful lines of colour on the jaw line. I also liked how it was slightly darker as it did what it said on the tin, it gave me the look of dewy, healthy skin. As the coverage is so light and doesn't make you feel like you're wearing make-up it's perfect for the day time and with the added SPF 15 it is perfect for this weather we have been having! I would however probably use this as a base/primer for foundation if i was going out at night, just because I like to have slightly more coverage on a night out. 

The overall effect is natural and flawless so overall I really like this product! As it contains moisturising properties I have been skipping my usual moisturiser and have just been using this which makes getting ready really quick and easy. I am also really prone to break-outs but this hasn't given me any spots at all which is great. Sometimes I can love a product because of how it looks/works on the skin but have to abandon it because it gives me spots but luckily I wont have to do that with this!

I think I should mention that the nspa products are all labelled with a number from one to four, the photo above explains what stage each number represents. The idea of products that have different stages to them really appeals to me as I am using one cleanser at the moment (my Amie Morning Clear which was my very first review that you can read here), one moisturiser and then am using other products when I think I need them. However my skin has been playing up quite a bit recently with break outs and dryness from the humidity. Therefore I am really interested in purchasing a few more things to create more of a 'routine' for my skin.

By the looks of it Asda are doing a '2 for £8' deal at the moment on a few of the nspa products so i may have go and pick up a few things soon!

Hope you enjoyed reading and thank you again to nspa for kindly sending me something to review!
Happy Friday x
