I was fortunate to receive some products from b.liv. You can check out my masks reviews. I have reviewed Bright Is Right, Immerse Me, Repair & Rescue, and Sheer Off Crease. This time around I will review their serum Submerge Me.

Ingredients:

Thoughts: When I first heard about b.liv, I heard it's aimed for teenagers to early 20's. Unfortunately, I don't fit that age range anymore. For that reason, I tend to buy products that will prevent aging. So when I received this product, I wasn't too sure what to expect from it.

When it comes to packaging, I actually like it a lot. It's very simple and I love the color blue (my favorite color).

It comes with a pump. I actually like that you have full control of the amount you can squirt out, as well as, it's sanitary safe.

Here's a picture of the product. It's a medium consistency product. It's not too liquid-y where it feels like gel. It's also not on the thick side like a cream.

Now for my overall opinion... The serum has a slight fruity scent. I actually like the scent. If you're not a big fan of this scent, it only lasts a minute or two. To be honest, I was initially shocked with the consistency of the product. I'm so used to gel-like serums that I was not expecting it to be a more a medium consistency lotion-like. After using it couple of times, I actually liked it. It felt like I was applying moisturizer on top of another moisturizer instead of on top of a serum. Even though it felt like a lotion, it was light and melt into my skin. My skin craves hydration and for that reason, a lot of products sink in quickly. It left my skin smooth and improved the dry patches. I also needed less moisturizer after this product. If you're looking for an anti-aging product, this isn't it. This product only helps in hydration.

Pros:
* Comes with a pump; sanitary safe.
* Full control of the pump; you can pump as much as you like.
* Fruity scent.
* Medium, lotion-like consistency.
* Sink into skin.
* Hydrates.
* Improved dry patches.
* Needed less moisturizer.
* Not tested on animals.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Cannot test out before purchasing.
* Not an anti-aging product.

Would repurchase: Maybe.
