I received a sample of the Indie Lee Squalane Oil in the Autumn/Winter beauty box from abeautifulworld and couldn’t wait to try it out. I’ve seen it reviewed on a few beauty blogs and was intrigued to find out what it was like. Ana from Ana Goes Green also sent me a couple of samples which was so lovely of her – thank you Ana!

Indie Lee is a brand from New York that is exclusively available from A Beautiful World. The facial oil unbelievably contains only ONE ingredient – squalane, which is derived from olives. Squalane is present in our own skin structure but the production of it actually slows down in our mid twenties to thirties! Luckily for me I have a few years yet ;).
The oil promotes skin elasticity, diminishes age spots and boosts cell regeneration and oxygenation. It claims to leave your complexion feeling soft & nourished and never greasy. A claim I couldn’t agree more with! The oil sinks into my skin so quickly and my skin looks dewy & radiant and feels soft & smooth. It’s also a great base for my foundation. I have oily skin and this has been working a treat with my skin. It has calmed down my spots and I have definitely noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin – infact I would probably go as far as saying my skin has never looked better. Obviously I have been using other products too such as cleansers and the great konjac sponges but I think this is definitely a main factor in my good skin these days!

It is clear and completely odourless. It comes in a pump bottle which is great as it distributes just the right amount of product! I usually use about 1-2 pumps. Also I’ve found with this that it doesn’t make my fringe greasy like some other oils do which is perfect as I can put it on without worrying about my hair looking like it needs a wash!
I have just bought myself a gift box from A Beautiful World with a full size of this in & I have my eye on the Blemish Lotion as well so you will definitely see more Indie Lee products on this blog soon!
It costs £22.00 and you can buy it exclusively from abeautifulworld in the UK.
Have you tried this? What do you think?

Great review! I have combination skin and I'm on the hunt for a new face oil that won't break the old bank balance! This defo sounds worth a try 😀
Thanks! Yes it's such a great product and you only need one-two pumps so it will last ages! Let me know if you do try it!
This sounds amazing! I too have seen Ana review this, I might just have to get it now 🙂 Love your blogs new layout btw xx

It really is a great product! Aww thank you! X
Really nice review! I did not know this product, now I'm tempted to give it a try. I also have oily skin, so certain oils do not work on my skin, but this one looks interesting 🙂 x Liz
Glad you love this and your blog layout is fantastic so fresh and bright! 🙂 Xx
It is really interesting how it only contains one ingredient yet it works so well! I would definitely recommend you to have a look! They have deals on A Beautiful world at the minute as Christmas gifts where you can get a selection of indie lee products for way cheaper than normal so you should definitely check that out! X
Aww thanks Ana! I was a bit worried as it's coming up soooo bright on some peoples screens but I think I've toned it down just enough now! X
A lot of buzz at the moment surrounding this product, interesting to hear your thoughts 🙂
I got the full size in A Beautiful Worlds Best Of Box, and can't stop using it, I think it's the best face oil I've used and really can't wait to try more from the brand 🙂 xx
I also got this in the ABW box but have yet to give it a try – currently finishing off my bodhi Neroli Lucé facial oil. Excited to try it though, everyone says such positive things about it!
Love the new layout. Chevrons!! Yellow!!! Grey!! X
Thank you 🙂 I have seen it reviewed loads too!
That's fab! I want to try more too, got my eye on the eye cream and blemish lotion! x
Ooh I haven't tried Bodhi but have heard so many good things about the brand! haha thanks! I'm a bit obsessed with yellow and grey and chevrons at the mo! I even bought a mug with yellow and grey chevons on it hahaha x
This sounds amazing! I only use one product on my skin at the minute, and that's my oil cleansing balm. But as it's getting colder I could do with something in the evenings to just add a bit more moisture. So thankful I was having a good read through your blog and found this 🙂 The oil sounds perfect, and with just one ingredient, you can't really go wrong 🙂 x
