INDIO: review of 3 products

indio: review of 3 products

after having received a sample the indio skin tonic in my first (and only) Bella Box August 2014 i liked it so much i looked into purchasing the full size. It's incredibly light and smells amazing and is very refreshing. Even though I really have no idea what toner is supposed to do i thought it would be fantastic in summer just to freshen me up. The full size is around $35.00 for 200ml which for me was far too much. I decided instead to join the indio VIP club as you receive a free sample when you do so i could try another of their vast range of products. Soon after joining i received an email with two offers, a free full-sized age-defense SPF 30+ sun cream worth $69 with your first purchase, and a $20 off voucher. I decided to buy the toner using the $20 off voucher and was not expecting the sun cream to remain on offer, but it was. This is how i managed to purchase both products, along with a free sample, for $15.20 plus $9.95 shipping. I couldn't have been more chuffed. It was shipped the same day and I received it 5 days later - which is impressive as I live in Tasmania and parcels generally take just over a week to get to me.   

indio skin tonic

as previously mentioned, i love this stuff. The sample i got was a little spray bottle, the full size has a pump top. I will definitely be keeping the spray bottle to top up and carry in my bag throughout summer as i do find the whole thing incredibly refreshing. I've been using this after cleansing as instructed and I do feel a bit of tightening but i don't really see any visible evidence of it doing anything much. As I said though, this is my first experience with toner so i'm not too sure what it's supposed to feel like/do. I just really like the scent!

indio age-defense sun cream

This is apparently worth $69! I would never pay that much for a sunscreen EVER, but as it was free i'm certainly happy to have it. Living in Tasmania, I use sunscreen every day in spring/summer and quite often in autumn/winter as the sun down here is particularly bitey. It is quite nice, not too heavy although it does still feel like wearing sunscreen - it's a teeny tiny bit sticky but it is sunscreen so that is to be expected. It is a generous size at 100ml and does not have a scent which is perfect for a sunscreen. I will have to wear it on a high UV day to be able to give it a proper review for how effective it is. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

indio 'balance' moisture perfection - moisturiser

This is a little 10ml sample. It smells like the toner so it's already winning with me. I used it after a swim in a heated pool on Saturday and noticed how nice my skin felt later on that day. It goes on really light and i'm going to be very upset when I run out of this. I really like this product. The full size is $99 for 50ml, or $79.20 for VIP members. You also have to pay for shipping on top of this. I won't be purchasing the full size of this product as I can't justify spending that kind of money on moisturiser, no matter how lovely it is. . . . and it is.

Overall, I really like both the toner and moisturiser. The sun cream is certainly handy to have but it isn't a product that excites me. It is perhaps a little too expensive for me but if you have the spare cash then it is definitely worth a look. They have many more products, some of which sound quite luxurious. I will be keeping an eye on them just in case they have another promotion which makes it more affordable for me. 

Also, I apologise for the terrible photos. I'd just finished work and was keen to take them so I could try them all out.
