Review • Earle Cleanse and Polish

'We only make one cleanser because this formulation is the ultimate in concentrated yet gentle cleansing power and works on every age and skin type' - LIz Earle 

Hello guys! so I'm back with a cheeky little review of the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, bit of a mouthful I know. So I first had heard a lot about this product from Youtube and fellow bloggers and I had heard wonderful things about it and I really wanted to try it for myself and see what all the fuss was about, and I got it for christmas this year and I am now on my second lot of it and I love it. 

The product smells like eucalyptus which is so cooling and refreshing and definitely gives a spa like feel to a usual tedious job of cleansing the face and it contains rosemary, chamomile,eucalyptus essential oils and cocoa butter which are all very nourishing to the skin. When using this product you simply apply it to dry skin like a moisturiser over the top of makeup etc  this can also be used gently over the eyes to remove stubborn eye mascara and eyeliner; once massaged into the skin you remove the product with a muslin cloth thats been wet with hot water and you simply wipe it all off. When using this product it leaves your skin feeling so refreshed and soft. I find that this gives your skin a really good deep cleanse and removes every trace of dirt and makeup; due to me having quite sensitive and prone to blemishes skin I find that when I don't use this product I tend to  break out or get more blemishes. 

You can buy the Liz Earle Cleanser from John Lewis so if you have one close buy it might be a good idea to pop in and test the product before you buy. If not you can also buy it direct from the Liz Earle website, click HERE to have a browse . The 100ml  product is priced at £13.25, but you can also buy the starter kit which includes a muslin cloth along with the 100ml product for £14.75. 

Have you tried any of the Liz Earle products? Whats your favourite cleanser? I hope you are 

all well and are having a good day! Speak soon lovelies

Wish list • July 2013

These are some of the items I have seen this month that I love and would like to have at the moment, this month they have turned out to all be from Topshop, all the items that I have mentioned, I have linked for you to have a look at.

Top - Topshop

So this top that I have seen for this month is a tartan kind of flannel shirt thats cropped, which to be honest is perfect for me since I'm really short and I tend to have a lot of trouble with tops being too long on me. Also tartan is going to be really in fashion for Autumn this year which I must say I'm very happy about and I think that this will be a nice take on it a more subtle way to wear it maybe. £29 - Topshop 

Backpack - Topshop 

Although I have my ZARA City bag which I currently use as my school bag (which I do love) I've been debating whether or not to get myself a backpack for school since I can imaging they are so much easier and convenient to carry around, especially when they're packed with heavy school books. So I really like this one as it has a very kind of vintage look because of the flower detail, which I really like. £34 - Topshop

Nail Varnish - Topshop 

I've been eying these nail varnishes up for a while now and I am so very tempted to have a cheeky buy and get myself one, but I just don't know if its going to be the right thing for me since I am very weird when it comes down to textures and I don't quite know if i will like it since the finish on it is matte and I could just be totally turned off by the texture of it alone, but I guess you never know until you try huh? But if I were to try one I would love to try this pretty purple colour. This is the colour 'Brutal' - £6 -Topshop 

Jeans - Topshop

My final pick of the month is these black high waisted skinny jeans, I love to wear high waisted things as I feel like they help to emphasise hips and curves that we naturally have. I do already have a pair of highwaisted jeans that are black but I find the material to be too thick and just weird and at the bottom near the ankle they aren't that skinny so just seem to flare out a little which I think just doesn't suit me. £40 - Topshop

Monthly Favourites (Summer Favourites) • July 2013

Hey guys!

So today I'm going to be sharing with you my favourite things I've been loving this month, mostly beauty products and also a couple of random things. I used my camera to take these photos and I really like the quality that it gives, so all of my new posts will be using my camera. 

 Firstly I just have to include this and its this really cute silicone phone case that I got off Amazon, il leave the link to it at the end of this post, for a while now I've seen a few people with these animal

silicone cases for their phones and I've always kind of wanted one but never dared, I thought they might look a bit childish but I recently saw BeautyCrush ( A well known Youtuber and Blogger) with this exact one and I just couldn't resist it, I am in love! 

The next thing I have been loving is my new (ish) white converse that I got for my birthday, I was so happy when I got these for my birthday as they are really just a staple and really comfortable shoe that you can just wear all year round, but I think as they are white it makes them just perfect for the summer months. I find that they are really easy to style and go with just everything from shorts and also even dresses. Before I actually had some I always thought that they would be kind of bulky to wear with dresses and skirts, but surprisingly they go pretty well. So if you're looking for a light pair of shoes that are easy to style I would definitely recommend that you get yourself some converse. 

This next product I have been loving this month is actually from this months Glossy Box, which is a monthly subscription where you receive 5 high end beauty/hair/skincare products each month. This 'Pout Paint' from Sleek is one of the things that was in this months box and I have been wearing it almost everyday since I got it, in the box it also came with another 'Pout Paint' which was a purple colour but I gave that to my sister. The colour that I have here is '161 Minx' and it is a really nice coral/ pink colour which I think is perfect for summer. I can do a more thorough review on these Sleek Pout Paints if any of you wish. 

The next product is one I have definitely rekindled my love for this past month, due to it being so hot I've not been wanting to spend ages putting layers of makeup on when I find that it just kind of melts off and moves on my face in this heat. So recently been applying moisturiser ( Soap&Glory - Feel Good Factor) and then applying the tiniest amount of this foundation and applying it with my fingers whilst the moisturiser is still wet to create a nice tinted moisturiser almost, which I have then just been setting with a loose powder, I've found that this doesn't actually move around on the face so is great for summer! 

The last product I have been loving this month is another product I got from the July GlossyBox and is a Facial Spritz and is so so refreshing! As we have been having really hot weather, for England anyway ,these past few weeks this has been a life saver, I've not only just been using it on my face but on my legs as at night especially I get really hot and irritable legs and this helps to cool me down so much as it has lots of cooling properties that makes you feel cooler for longer than just water would. 

Thanks for popping by guys, please leave comments and visit me on my other online places!

Any requests are welcome, let me know what products you've been lusting over this month, all products I mentioned are linked below for y'all and I hope you have a good day lovelies.

White Converse - Office

Review • Soap & Glory - Scrub Your Nose In it

I'm back! I've been gone for a couple of months now and since I am on holiday for a while now I will be able to be more regular with my posts (Hopefully everyday). So I thought I would start back with a product review which as you can probably tell my the title is the "Soap & Glory's Scrub your nose in it", a very well known facial exfoliator which also claims to reduce pores. This product claims that it is for (Oily/ Combination) skin, due to the amount of blemishes and problems I have with my skin I would definitely say I have. 

I have been currently using this product for around 3 weeks now and so far I have actually been liking it a lot and I have found that its has done its job very nicely, I have noticed a big difference in my skin and I feel like it is much smoother and I have less blemishes on my face than before using this product. Due to me having very problematic and sensitive skin I was weary about using this product due to it having 'pore refining' properties, which to most people may be a benefit but from past experiences of using these types of products it just leads to having clogged pores which leads to blemishes; I am also very unlucky and suffer with acute cystic acne also which lately I have had under control. 

This product is really easy to use as you only need to use a very small pea sized amount and then massage this around your face concentrating on the 'T zone' which is just the areas of your face which get the most oily. Once you have done this you can just simply wash it off straight away or leave it on your face for a few minutes as a face mask, which feels lovely. The consistency of this product is actually really nice and forgiving on sensitive skin due to it not being too grainy but just a gentle amount so it feels like it is actually doing something which I love. 

When applying this products it feels very tingly and fresh on the face and makes it feel like it is sinking into your face, this is something that I personally like as It reminds me of having a spa facials and it is really refreshing, although this may not be for everyone.  I am very happy with this product and I do think that I will be repurchasing it after this one has ran out. I also think that this product is definitely worth its price, £7.50 for a 125ml bottle as you only need a very small pea sized amount this goes quite a long way and it is a very nice product. 

You can buy this product from Boots if you are looking for a new facial exfoliator I do definitely recommend this product and suggest that you give it a go, click HERE to have a browse. There will be lots of new posts coming up soon, any recommendations are welcome and please leave me comments, I would love to here from you all.

May Empties • 2013

These are the products that I have completely used up this month some which I really loved and enjoyed using and will and already have repurchased. I seem to have finished off quite a few products this month as I have been trying to as there has been a few products just hanging around with a tiny bit of products left in them. 

Body Care and Skin Care:

Nivea Double Effect Deodorant - This product is definitely one of my favourite deodorants that I have tried, I do prefer to use roll on deodorants instead of sprays as I feel like they are refreshing, I know everyone has their preferences about these and think differently. I really love the smell of this product and I think although it is subtle it is quite pleasant and is not overpowering. I am currently trying out another of the deodorants in this range and love that also. - £3.23

Beauty Parlour Body Wash - I first got this as part of a gift set for christmas as me and my mum fell in love with it and since then we have bought it every single time it has run out. It is very refreshing and the smell is nice and not too over powering or fruity, as I get headaches and migraines easily this is good. - £1.49

Boots Refreshing Face Wipes - These face wipes are good, nothing brilliant but they do live up to their purpose of removing makeup and just refreshing your face. We never really stick to any particular face wipes as we have never yet found any that are really good so we just get any that we see. If you can recommend any good face wipes/ makeup remover wipes please let me know, i'd love to try them! - £1

Makeup:

Laura Mercier Silk Cream Foundation - This foundation is one of my most favourite foundations I have ever tried and I would also say it is one of my all round favourite makeup products too. Although this foundation is on the more pricier side I would say it is definitely worth the money due to it being such good coverage and quality and it also lasts a very long time as the small amount of product that you need to use goes a long way which is great. I have already repurchased this product as I love it so much. - £33

Benefit That Gal Primer - I really love this product and I do think it helps to prolong the wear of your foundation. I also feel like it does help to give a brightening effect to the face and helps to increase the natural glow of the skin. This product shown in the photo was a small tester which I got in a small Benefit kit, I have repurchased the full size version of this product. - £22.50

Benefit Benetint - This is again another product which I love, as you can probably see by the bottle having next to no logo left of the bottle, I have had this product a very long time as only a very small amount of the product does go a long way as I used this product as a slight lip tint. I would like to repurchase the full sized product when I have a chance. - £24.50

Perfume: 

Benefit Ring My Bella Perfume - This is another Benefit product that I have finished this month, although I did enjoy this perfume I did find that it didn't last me very long. Although I did enjoy this product I don't think I would be repurchasing as I am very particular about perfumes and my current favourite 'Jimmy Choo' is one I will be going back to now.  - £29.50

Calvin Klein One Perfume - This is one of the first perfumes I ever got and it was gifted to me for one of my birthdays a few years ago now, I recently went back to using it just to finish it off. Although I do like it I can't see myself repurchasing in the near future. - £28.90

Cranberry Eye

This makeup look I have done is a very simple but pretty smokey cranberry eye that could we worn during the day or you could make it more dramatic for . As I would say this could be worn as a day time look I have used a natural coverage foundation "Bourjois Healthy Mix", but I think if I was to wear this look out in the evening I would use a fuller coverage foundation to create a flawless base. 

What I was wearing as a base:

Mac Prep and Prime Primer

Bourjois Healthy Mix in "51"

Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer in "51"

Benefit High Beam Highlighter

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in "001 Dark Brown"

Products used on the eyes:

1. Gosh Velvet Touch Eyeliner in "Truly Brown"

2. Mac Eyeshadow in "Cranberry"

3.  Urban Decay Naked Palette 1 in "Toasted"

4.  Urban Decay Naked Palette 1 in "Virgin"

5. Too Faced Naked Palette in "Cocco Puff"

6. Benefit They're Real Mascara 

7. Mac Paint Pot in "Painterly"

After creating my base which I used a primer, foundation, I filled in my brows and used a little bit of concealer all listed above, to the eyes I firstly applied "Painterly" all over my eyelid and up to the brow, on the outer half of the lid I have applied "Cranberry" and blended this up and across into the crease; to further intensify this colour I have blended a small amount of "Toasted" and "Cocco Puff" to the outer corner. To then brighten up the eyes I have applied "Virgin" to under the brow and in the dear duct. After this I have applied "Truly Brown" eyeliner to the eyelid and also a small amount under the eye in the lower lash lashline and smudged this out with a small pencil brush. I then finished with mascara.
