Hey

This is my third instalment of Bargain Beauty week, if you don't know what this is, I post for one week my beauty bargain essentials all of which are under £10, so if you haven't checked out my last post you can here

So this is meant to be a dupe for the Liz Earle Hot cloth cleanser, but I haven't tried that so I can't compare.
Ive been using this on a daily basis for nearly 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. It leaves my skin feeling fabulous and thoroughly cleansed.

In the box you get 150ml of cleanser and a muslin cloth which is a pretty good deal

It stated that it awakens the skins natural glow whilst cleansing and gently exfoliating the skin, which i can vouch for. From the first use I noticed that it really improved the radiance of my skin.

The Cleanser is formulated with a unique energising complex and infused with kiwi fruit and mulberry extracts to help revive skins radiance and skin tone. It is also enriched with cocoa butter.

It is a cream consistency and it just melts onto my skin in the morning to wash away any oil that I have produced over night and any residue left over from my night time skincare routine, I also use this at night time where is melts away any makeup from the day with ease leaving my skin feeling fresh and fully cleansed.

I wet my face and rub this all over my skin for a few minutes making sure not to forget my neck and then I buff away with the muslin cloth provided in a circular motion which I have soaked and then rung out, which helps to gently exfoliate my skin.

I don't find that this has a overpowering smell at all, in fact it is quite pleasant, and the results are remarkable, it does exactly what it says on the box.

you can purchase this Here usually £5.99 but on offer for £2.98 so buy two haha

Have you tried this ?

Does it compare to the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser?

Thanks for reading and don't forget to follow

Hello,

Another instalment of my budget beauty week, this post is all about the Rimmel wake me up foundation.

Check out my first post here

This is a product that i have been humming and ahhhhhing about this product for a while as Im not a major fan of drugstore foundations, mainly because of the shade range, the coverage and I just don't find that they are suitable for my oily skin.

Ive seen many beauty bloggers post about this foundation, and a friend mentioned this too me the other day and it made me think.

Whilst browsing the shelves in my local superdrug I seen this on the Rimmel Stand and it was on offer for £5.00 and couldn't not put it into my basket.

This Foundation claims to be an anti fatigue effect and radiant glow foundation, which I must agree with, it seriously brightens up my completion, which is always a must especially for a Monday morning.

Luckily I managed to find a shade right for me, its a lot more lighter than the picture above , don't know why it is showing up so dark but I'm sure you will see it when you check it out in your local drugstore.

I love that this comes with a pump which I think is so important as a hygiene point of view.

I would say that this foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation, and it stayed on all day, maybe about 7 hours in it starts to cling to my blemishes on my chin, but nothing a little touch up can't fix.

I also love how it blends on to the skin, it goes on evenly and blends perfectly, plus the smell of the foundation is heavenly , its like flowers which I love.

I would defiantly re purchase this foundation, and im going to pick up the matching concealer

You can buy this for £8.99 or on offer for £4.99 here

Have you tried this foundation?

What did you think?

Hello loves,

This is my first instalment of bargain beauty.

This is just a series of my most recent bargain purchases. All of which are readily available and under £10.

This is good if your not able to afford high end products or you just want to try out different brands and take a good look at the drugstore offerings.

I mean bargain beauty is always a good thing? Right?

I can't tell you how long I've been lusting after the lime crime velvetine lip colours.

I was unsure if I would suit a Matte lip , and the mac matte lipsticks just dry my lips completely out :(.

So I didn't know if I wanted to fork out for another matte lip product that I just didn't know if I would like.

I was on a little shopping spree to my local SuperDrug and seen these little beauties on the MUA stand. MUA isn't normally a stand that I shop. I assume that the low prices must result in their products being of low quality.

I am happily mistaken, I spotted these velvet lip lacquers for only a mere £3 each. I was astounded and picked up the 2 colours that where left on the display. (MUA had hardly any products left on the stand) I know I would have picked up more if the full colour range was in stock.

Hi lovelies,

I've seen this tag going round the blogosphere for a little while now , so it's finally my turn to do it, and I am quite excited.

2: Ever been in love? Yep, only once and that is now and have been for the past (nearly) 3 years.

4: How tall are you? 5″8 and a half

5: How much do you weigh? Now that I am not divulging sorry I know I'm crap.

6: Any tattoos? Not one, went through a phase of wanting full sleeves , and wanting to look like Kay Von D but praise The Lord my mum never let me, imagine me now with all them tattoos, I'm so so glad . Maybe one day I may get a little discreet one but I'm in no hurry

7: Any piercings? Yep, nose, ears and belly button, used to have more including tunnels but took them out.

8: OTP? One true paring? George

Hey beauties,

Another installment of weight loss Wednesdays.

I've been struggling abit , last week all I done was eat eat eat, nothing filled me and all I wanted was chocolate.

It was a great week of just eating everything I wanted , but obviously I would gain weight. I didn't get weighed last week so I can't tell you how much I did put on.

Who doesn't want that contoured kim kardashian effect?

I mean contouring is litterally everybody's best friend to acheive the flawless face.

Whether you want to slim down your nose, chisel those cheekbones, make your face a lot smaller or get rid of them horrid double chins, contouring is a makeup artists / obsessed best friend.

I usually conour with powders and contour brushes and just wanted to try something else.

I've been wanting a good contour kit for a while and have been looking at the crown brush contour palette and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette for a little while and was waiting until payday to invest in one of these.

That was until I seen this beauty on amazon.

So this purchase was recommended to me by my lovely little sister Natalie , now it's no secret that Natalie and I both suffer with oily skin and horrible breakouts so we can always recomend skincare to one another and also any makeup that we think would make each of us look flawless.

Natalie suffers with spots all over her face, little blemishes here and there but all mine congregate on my chin and leave horrible scars.

We went shopping into boots and she wanted me to try, she said it worked really well on her skin and covered any blemishes she had all day. This persuaded me, if she liked it then I would . I gave it a go the sales assistant sat me down and placed this on my problem areas with a foundation brush, I like the foundation brush idea more than putting my fingers in because it makes it a lot more hygienic and stops the spot from spreading to other parts of my skin. I'm in the lightest shade of this as I'm very fair skinned. The concealer is anti bacterial aswell which is always a plus.

As soon as she buffed it into my skin she showed me the end result, I was made up with how it looked, at the time I didn't think it covered much but Natalie said to try it home and that's what I done.

Now it's a makeup bag staple, it only use it on my blemishes as I have a separate under eye concealer. I love that I can really build up the coverage without it looking cakey and it really stays put all day it really is industrial strength.I always power my concealer to set it too.

The texture is super creamy and it really blends into the skin with ease.

Considering I'm super oily this product really stays put, and the coverage is second to none
