Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish - Review!

Hey Beauts,

So today I'm writing a lovely review about the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish that literally is Uh-Mazing!



Well, where can I start with this product? It is actually really good! I didn't want to believe the hype when I first heard people talking about this, but one day I wanted to treat myself whilst in Boots and I ended up purchasing this! It was £14.75 for the 100ml pump and 2 muslin cloths. It even all came in a cute little bag, which is perfect for travelling so the cloths don't get dirty or mess up the rest of your suitcase. Having two cloths comes in really handy, especially if one is in the wash so you always have one at hand. My recommendation is definatly on the starter kit, purchasable here.

So how do I use this? Well it says to use on a dry face, but when I'm in the shower, I'm really too lazy to get a towel and dry my face to continue my routine - so I actually use it on a wet face. I pump one or two pumps onto my fingertips (depending on if I want to splurge or not) rub my fingertips together gently and then start massaging it into my face, leaving my eyelashes till last so I don't get mascara all over my face. Then I step back, turn the shower up really hot, get the muslin cloth all wet, squeeze out the out excess water and press is against my face to open up my pores. I then slowly and gently massage my face again with the cloth before wiping away all of the product and finish by turning the shower down to cold and splash the water against my face to close up all my pores. Refreshing! To top it off, this smells divine, like absolutely gorgeous and just adds to how refreshing you feel when you have used this product.

The best thing I have discovered with this product is that it doesn't sting my eyes! My eyes I feel are quite sensitive (Even Simple moisturiser stings) but this has rosemary, chamomile, cocoa butter and eucalyptus essential oil in and still doesn't sting at all. I rub it into my eyelashes (eyes closed of course) and when I open them, I'm fine - It's like I have splashed water in my face or something! UH-MAZING! 
I use this both morning and evening (who am I kidding? Most mornings, I'm lazy) and it just keeps my face clean, refreshes my face and in the morning - wakes me up. It smells great, it reduces redness, it doesn't sting, it feels so soothing on the skin, very creamy, a little goes a long way, the bottle lasts ages and its amazing! I couldn't recommend this product any more, Really! Just try it out and you won't regret it. :) 

I hope you enjoyed this review, it really does deserve the hype that it has and if you're thinking 'I don't know whether to buy this or not' , just do it. Splurge, feel special about owning it - you won't regret it :) Have you tried this product before? What did you think of the product? And do you think it deserves the hype it has?

Color Tattoo - Review!

Hey Beauts,

Today I bring you a quick review of the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze (Bad to the Bronze - RRP: £4.99).
I was completely sceptical about this when the whole hype started! Never have I tried a cream eyeshadow before and in my head 'Why put creamy on oily? - It will just slide off'. Well I was wrong. This stuff is amazing and I completely see the hype that surrounded it. To top it off - creamy and oily go well together! 

The pigmentation is brilliant and the fact that it just glides on so well and stays where you want it to means you can easily create a slight smokey eye only using this product alone! The colour itself is phenomenal. When I first picked this up I thought the colouring would be way too dark for my eyes and completely hollow them out but it doesn't, It compliments them beautifully. The packaging itself has that nice weighty glass feeling too, just making it seem as though the product is worth a lot more than £4.99 - Even the way the lid unscrews makes me feel special for owning it and who doesn't like feeling special? 

One of the things I like the most about this is that if you don't want too make-up on you can just use this, blend it out a little into the crease. If you wanted to go further you could add a pinky white for highlighting the brow bone/inner eye area and your done! It looks so natural and just pretty. This had been my go to look since I first tried this too! I just love it! I won't be going crazy and buying a lot of these though. I'll never wear any of the pinks and blues but Eternal Gold and 25K Gold look absolutely stunning and seen as how I'm more of a lighter shade wearing, I will definaly be picking those up soon! :D
The only thing I don't like about this is 'color' is spelt C-O-L-O-U-R. It just annoys me :P

I feel as though right now I should say sorry for not posting all week! I went back to University and I'm in my final semester so I have a really big workload for the next 12 - 15 weeks, I also went out clubbing (Post coming soon) But I fell over (weak ankles) and ended up in A&E (Haha). It's only sprained but it's swollen so much! So thanks for sticking here in my absence and if you're new and enjoying my blog remember to follow on GFC and/or Bloglovin' so you don't miss out on anything. :) <3
