REVIEW: Etat Pur & their Pure Actives

This is a post that I've been working on for a while now. I think that this brand and the products that they sell are really special and I wanted to make sure that the post was 100% right before I actually posted it. I've tried out a few things from the range before and you can find these posts here. But today I'm talking more specifically about their Pure Actives. The brand I'm talking about is Etat Pur.
Onto the 'boring,' science facts... Etat Pur's Pure Actives are given to you in their optimal dosage (which is always indicated). These are with pharmaceutical precision which means that the origin, traceability and purity of each Pure Active are strictly tested for optimal safety. Because these Pure Active's aren't diluted it means that it allows the product to act where the skin needs it. This guarantees maximum efficacy of the active within the skin. These are also developed to provide long-lasting actions and targeted solution to precise skin disorders. Etat Pur also have the largest actives library and these are grouped into 8 families to cover major face and body skin concerns. These 8 families are; Ageing Concerns, Extreme Dryness, Hypersensitivity and Redness, Imperfections and Blemishes, Complexion Concerns, Dark Spots and Hyper-Pigmentation, Sun-Related Concerns and Slimness and Firmness Body. So as you can see, there's a solution for everyone. These Pure Actives come in a dropper bottle and are applied first directly onto the skin.
The two Pure Active's that I've tried out so far are the Ellagic Acid [70 mg]* (£12.40) and the Green tea [440 mg]* (£9.40). The Ellagic Acid is aimed at those with fragile and dull smoker's skin. I don't smoke but I do definitely have dull skin. The Green Tea Pure Active is aimed at those with early wrinkles caused by environmental factors such as pollution, excess sun exposure etc. I'm only 19 so I don't really have early wrinkles but I do suffer from hyper-pigmentation which is a sign of early ageing. If you click on a Pure Active, for example click here, you can see the amount of instructions that come with them and the amount of information. This is the same for every single Pure Active and it gives a great insight as to how these are going to help out your skin. 
I think these Pure Active's are a great idea. They're not expensive at all and as you only need a tiny amount, they are guaranteed to last you quite a long time. I think it's wonderful to add something extra to your skin care routine that is aimed at your skin problem and that isn't in diluted form so that you can see a difference almost instantly. You can view the entire range of Pure Active's here
I'm also hoping to try out these in the near future; Salicylic Acid 70 [70 mg]Propolis [35 mg]Citric Acid - AHA [3000 mg] and Glabridin [2.5 mg].
What do you think of this idea? Have you tried any of the Pure Active's before?

FAVOURITE... Miniature Products

I love miniature products. So much so that when my sister went on holiday earlier this year I bought her a few sample sized products to take with her - even though some of the full sized products were cheaper. They're so cute and sometimes a great way to decide whether or a not a product is perfect for you. Here's some of my favourites...
 Charles Worthington Takeaways Sun-Shine UV Protection Styling Spray - £1.99
I absolutely love this and whenever the sun is shining I'll throw it into my handbag to keep my hair nice and protected from the sun throughout the say.
Xen-Tan Dark Lotion* - £28.99
Oh my god I need the full size version of this. It's the most perfect fake tan out there. It's moisturising, last's up to 7 days, smells gorgeous (almond is my favourite scent) and doesn't streak. It really is perfect.
Lancome Bi-Facil - £20.00
I received this as a GWP and it's served me well. It's definitely one of the best eye make up removers out there as it melts make up instead of spreading it around the skin.
Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil* - £19.95
It's summer soon and I need Kim Kardashian's bikini body. Ok, maybe I'm being a bit ambitious there. But I need a niceish one. So I'm trying this out. So far I really like it. It smells lovely and absorbs quickly. Word of advice though - don't use it after applying fake tan like I stupidly did.
Good Things Miracle Mattifier Lotion* - £7.99
I have the full sized version of this and I love it. You can see my full review of this here
Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist* - £16.50
This mist is wonderful for balancing the skin and keeping it hydrated throughout the day. I've also blogged about this a few times and you read the posts here.
Benefit POREfessional Primer - £23.50
Of course, I received this free with this months Glamour magazine and I absolutely love it. I'm definitely contemplating whether to not to buy the full sized version. It slides over pores and completely fills them in.
Etat Pur Oil-Free Quenching Fluid* - £7.80
I blogged about receiving these free samples a while ago and I'll definitely be doing a full review of them and the brand as a whole. But I really love both this moisturiser and the other moisturiser (down below). They're great value for money and work really well with my skin.
Orla Kiely Eau De Parfum* - £55.00
I'm really bad when it comes to perfume and normally I just wear Britney ones. I love Britney of course and when it comes to perfume there's just too many out there for me to choose from. This one though is lovely and I think I might have to purchase it in full. It's a very nice fresh scent that's great for summer.
Etat Pur Light Moisturizing Emulsion* - £7.80
I blogged about receiving these free samples a while ago and I'll definitely be doing a full review of them and the brand as a whole. But I really love both this moisturiser and the other moisturiser (down below). They're great value for money and work really well with my skin.
Glam Glow Mud* - £49.99
I will definitely do a full review of this product. It's a mask and a scrub in one and once you've used it once you will instantly see a difference in your skin. A tiny bit goes a long way and it's marketed at all skin types - from very dry to acne prone. I used this as a mask for 15 minutes then scrubbed my skin and washed it away and immediately my skin looked clearer and my face looked glowing. It's so expensive but I know that when I get my student loan I'll be buying this. Now, I just have to wait until September..
What are your favourite miniature products? Do you like buying the sample sizes first?
