Review: Pristine Beauty Hooray for Brallywood Butta

Many companies try to sell you a "miracle in a bottle," and Blaire, founder of Pristine Beauty, knows this all too well. In a video on her website, she explains how she once worked extra shifts to be able to afford the famous moisturizer Creme de la Mer. She created her own, gentler moisturizer based on many of the same "magical" ingredients. What's this secret potion called? Hooray for Brallywood Butta.

Pros:
  • Smells wonderful
  • Easily Absorbed
  • Light enough to wear under makeup
  • Gentle formula
  • Lovely packaging (vintage feel great for gifts)
  • Many organic ingredients
Cons:
  • May have to order online
Summary:
This moisturizer is a great-smelling lotion that is lightweight yet still moisturizing. It works well under makeup, especially mineral makeup. It is supposed to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help even out skin tone. It seemed to work well both on my face and body, yet was very gentle. It rates an amazingly low 0 (the lowest) on EWG's Skin Deep scale. If you want to make it even more like Creme de la Mer, Blaire recommends mixing in a little Sea Kelp Bioferment, which she explains in this video. I didn't see a huge improvement on existing scars, but I felt it was a very solid moisturizer that packed more of a punch than your regular lotions. While this product is available in several stores, you may want to check the store locator to see if one is near you. If not, you can order online. If you're looking for a versatile moisturizer with added anti-aging benefits, this is a solid choice.
