My Skincare Routine!

Everyday Skincare Routine


 

From watching beauty gurus on YouTube for years, I came across many positive, raving reviews of Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. I caved in and decided to purchase this product myself a couple of weeks ago. I bought the 100ml pump starter kit for £14.25 (and P&P was around £3) which comes in a handy zip-up pouch with 2 muslin cloths (basically unbleached cloths) and a 50ml sample of their Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic, which is £12.50 for a 200ml bottle.

The cleanser has definitely earned a firm place in my skincare routine, I love the fact that you can put it all over your closed eyes to completely remove make-up, as it contains no harsh ingredients which could harm them, and then you easily wipe it off with a damp muslin cloth. I do also like the toner but after the sample is used up, I am going straight back to my beloved Witch Hazel, which I have been a fan of for years, and costs just £2.15 from Lloyds Pharmacy for 200ml. As I have quite normal skin, I'm not sure if the Witch Hazel is for everyone. I think I'd recommend it for oily skin as after I have used it, it leaves some areas of my face feeling quite dry.

The last product I use, which definitely restores all moisture after I have used the toner, is Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. The 50ml lotion costs £17, which I haven't bought yet, as every time I purchase something from Clinique I ask if they have any samples and they always seem to give me this moisturiser (not that I'm complaining!).

Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau De Parfum no.15 After receiving a sample of this perfume with my purchase of the Cleanse and Polish I knew I had to purchase the full size 50ml version, as I had never come across such an endearing smell. I would definitely say this is an autumn/winter fragrant and as I am awful at describing perfumes and their “notes”, I would recommend anyone to pop to a Liz Earle concession and give this a smell. I have heard this perfume be likened to Viktor and Rolf’s Spicebomb, but after smelling both I definitely think the L.E. perfume is nicer! Overall 10/10 Would I buy again? YES! & Other Stories Body Lotion in Moroccan Tea The first time I had ever been to an & Other Stories store was this year in February and everything about the brand blew me away! I am in love with their accessories, clothing and beauty range! I originally came across a soap bar of this Moroccan Tea scent in the store and as I was about to purchase it I noticed the b...

Skincare Routine

Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...
