Review of the real techniques bold metals collection makeup brushes

2015-01-15T13:25:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone long time but I'm back :)
So a couple of weeks ago I brought 5 of the real techniques bold metals make up brushes shown below.

The brushes I bought are the 301 flat contour.

This brush is my favourite one out of the 5 I brought it's such a fantastic contour brush just the right size it's the best contour brush that I own or have tried I highly recommend this contour brush.
The next brush is the 300 tapered blush brush

Ok so this brush is ok I'm not totally blown away by this brush and I thought it would be a lot softer then what it is :( there's not more to say on this brush as it just disappointed me well for the price any way :(

Next brush I got is the 201 pointed crease.

This brush is a lot bigger then I thought and I find it hard to work with. Again I was disappointed with this brush.

I also got the 200 oval shadow brush

This brush is easy to work with picks up eyeshadow and transfers very good I'm impressed with this brush but again it not as soft as I thought it was going to be :(

The last brush I brought was the 100 arched powder

I like this brush I'm not blown away with it again it's not as soft as I thought and it's nothing special.

So to sum it all up im a little disappointed with theses brushes I thought they were going to be super soft. I love the way these brushes look I think there gorgeous and it's brilliant that they don't roll off your dressing table lol.
I do highly recommend the contour brush it is amazing. For the price I was expecting more. I think the old brushes from the real techniques collection are a lot better and there a lot cheaper too.

Have anyone got theses brushes if so what did you think?

Thanks for reading

Review: Liz Earle Signature Foundation

2013-03-20T08:12:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys today i have a review its on the Liz Earle signature foundation.
i was kindly sent this to review as you all know i always do a honest review products sent me and also products I've brought. So lets get on to the review....
So i got sent the foundation in the shade 01 porcelain and it is the perfect match for my skin tone. It comes in a gorgeous glass bottle that looks so expensive and has a blue lid with liz Earle wrote on it. its a 25ml and its so all skin types and it also has a pump which is fantastic as you don't waste any of the product.
Like i said this foundation is for all skin types now i have very sensitive skin and i mean sensitive so i was very very surprised that it didn't break me out at all which is always a good thing with my skin. Ive been using this ever since i got it and i must say I'm very impressed. Its very lightweight and also blends like a dream this foundation is a medium coverage but you can also build it up. after I've applied this foundation my skin feels so silky smooth and it lasts all day with me well i first applied it with no primer and it lasted 6hours and then i tried it with primer and it lasted all day it didn't cake on me at all I'm very impressed with this foundation its my go to foundation now another thing is the smell of the foundation ooh i love it smells lovely and leaves me with a radiant finish it just looks so natual-looking its great for the price too the price is £21 which i think is such a good price for a brilliant foundation.
now onto photos....

This is the packaging.

Here is the gorgeous expensive looking bottle.

Here is the foundation just pumped out.

And here is the foundation slightly blended.

And here is the foundation completely blended out. Its slightly blends matt but still looks fab on my dry skin.

You can get this foundation here http://uk.lizearle.com/signature-foundation

Have any of you tried this foundation? if so what did you think of it ?

Laidbare DIY! Two In One Cleanser & toner Review

2013-02-19T07:12:00.001-08:00

Hey guys i was kindly sent a tube of laidbare DIY! two in one cleanser & toner to try out,
Ive heard so many good things about laidbare that i was super excited to try it

So hear it is its a 125ml tube its called DIY! two in one cleanser & toner its for all skin types and its with Apple Secrets Extract and Brazil Nut Extract in all of the laid back products there are NO Petrochemicals,sulfates,parabens,synthetic fragrance,synthetic colours,tea,dea,glycols,testing on animals.
here is a little bit more info,,
there natural ingredients are specially selected so each of there products are full of super rich skin nutrients.No synthetic or damaging ingredients. so this product that i recived is a no nonsense cleanser & toner in one this has liquorice and aloe vera for anti bacteria properties that reduce inflammation,tone,and strengthen the skin. Apple secrets extract helps protect your skin cells and Brazil nut extract is a valuable antioxidant,and astringent,at works hard to condition,nourish and repair.

Here is what the product looks lie as you can see its a gel cleanser that foams really well with warm water. I have used this since i got it every morning and night and to my surprise it even removes eye make up which is always good.

Ok on to my honest review what did i think of this product.............
First the smell of this is so lovely almost like a fruity apple kind of smell.
this is the first time that i have ever used a gel cleanser and i must say i have been really enjoying using this like i said it foams really well with warm water. This product is for all skin types. And as you all know i have really sensitive skin but i have not had a problem with this breaking me out at all which im very pleased about.
Ive also got really dry skin thats why i always stay away from gel cleansers but ive not had a problem with this at all it really suits my skin. After using this my skin looked and felt so soft and very clean. Ive also noticed that my dryness on my checks are starting to go my face just feels nourished. Plus This Product also acts as a toner as well as a cleanser so thats another good thing about this product as your not in the sink most of the morning applying different lotions and potions this is so quick just add some warm water foam it up in your hands and rinse and thats it you only need to apply moisturiser. This also gets rid of every trace of my eye make up even waterproof mascara.
So overall I'm so pleased with this laidbare cleanser & toner annd i would buy more from the range that they do this Two in one cleanser & toner is £5.99
but ive just looked and its now £2.99 its a bargain.
if you are interested in the laidbare products here is the link to the websiteTouch My Face | UK distributers of Laidbare and Whish Also Natural skincare company laidbare supports Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month .

URBAN DECAY GLINDA PALETTE

2013-02-14T07:42:00.001-08:00

As soon as i saw that urban decay had brought out 2 palettes for the upcoming OZ film i just had to have them as im a huge fan of urban decay.
I could not choose which one to go for so i just had to have the Glinda one and also the Theodora one i paid for the glinda one myself and my other half paid for the theodora one for my birthday.
Ive not yet used my theodora one yet as my birthday isn't till april but ive ben told im not allowed to touch it :( so unfair lol
Any way onto the Glinda Palette here are a few photos

First of all the outer cardboard packaging it stunning really pretty.

And also the packaging of the product its self is gorgeous its tin and has embossed writing saying urban decay OZ The Great And Powerful which is a lovely touch to the palette.

The Palette also comes with this stunning pic of Michelle Williams who plays Glinda (the good witch) and on the other-side it had instructions on how to get the look which is always good and there very easy to follow instructions as well.

So this is the palette and the gorgeous colours you can also pop the colours out as its in a build your own palette so you could mix up the colours a bit if you dont like the way the colours in the palette are.

In the palette you also get this Purple 24/7 Glide on eye pencil in rock star which is such a pretty colour.

And you also get this Super-Saturated High-Gloss Lip Colour in Glinda which is just a gorgeous brown nude colour which just look amazing on its so soft and creamy.

Here are all the colours
Tornado - A gorgeous deep purple

Aura - This one is a duo eyeshadow. its very light both of these colours are one is more pinky and the other is like an lilac colour i thought these might me chalky but there not there almost duo chrome such pretty colours.

Magic - This one i do find kind of chalky and needs building up but once you have build the colour up its such a stunning pink colour.

Illusion - This is such a lovely colour its so smooth as all of the colours in here this colour is a very light like fleshy colour so this one is a good colour for transitioning.

Oz - This is the second duo eyeshadow now both these colours are amazing and to be honest there my two favourite colours in the palette. there almost molten metal in the way they look. one thing i would say is the gold shade had chunkier glitter then the silver shade.

South - This is such a gorgeous shade its like a gorgeous brown with silver flecks its just stunning.

Rockstar 24/7 eyeliner - This is such a great purple colour that lasts so long its so smooth and creamy and stays put all day.

Glinda super-saturated lip pencil is a gorgeous shade its so flattering i find like a nude brown shade looks glossy on without being sticky .

So overall im very pleased with this palette and so worth the money as you get 6 eyeshadows (well with the duos 8) and you also get a super saturated lip colour and a eyeliner all for £35 which i don't think is bad at all!!
You can get these palettes from DEBENHAMS

Which witch are you Glinda or Theodora ??
Have you tried out these palettes or are you thinking of getting them if so which one will you be getting ????

If you are into your neutrals this palette is the one for you.
also its a great little palette for traveling too.

So overall im very pleased with this palette the colours are just stunning and blend so well and say on my eye lids all day.

Review: Liz Earle Perfect Finish Powder Foundation

2012-09-19T10:37:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone I've got an exciting review for you all today.
its on the liz Earle perfect finish powder foundation. this will be my honest review on this product so if you want to know what i thought about this product then please read on :)

so this is what i got sent.

So first i will start off with this Liz Earle makeup shade selector which shows and tells you all the products and shades that liz earle do in there makeup range. this is such a handy little booklet and i love it :)

First i will start with the lovely packaging i think its just stunning.

Now onto the the the item its self again the packaging is really nice with the lovely blue which also has like a shimmer though it and it has a nice touch with a white liz earle on the front it looks very classy i think.

The shade i got sent was 02 soft ivory which is the perfect shade for me.

comes with a nice round mirror

and here is the product its self and it has a nice touch with liz Earle embedded in the powder its self.

This product also comes with a sponge.

What Liz Earle says about this product

Soft and feather-light weight for a natural-looking matte yet luminous finish. our velvety-smooth formula builds with ease,to minimise the appearance of minor skin imperfections enriched with our own specially selected blend of botanicals.

My Honest Review

When i first saw this i was amazed on how good the packaging was both the outer packaging and the packaging on the product its self i thought it look very classy and chic very nice.

now onto the product its self this is a matte powder but it is also luminous powder foundation.

and like it says its very light weight and soft.

I touched my face after i applied this powder foundation and WOW my face felt silky smooth just so so soft. aAnd as you may know i have very sensitive and very dry skin but this has not broke me out which is always a good thing.

plus most of the time when i apply powder foundation it makes my skin look cakey and makes my dry skin look worse but i didn't have that problem with this power foundation at all it just left me with a natural looking flawless finish face.

I truly love this product i think its an amazing product.

And totally worth the money. it also comes with a sponge puff i never use these i always throw them away but i thought i would try this one and even the sponge puff is amazing its a very good quality sponge puff that i wont be throwing away and believe me thats a first for me.

So all in all i love this product and really have been enjoying using it i would highly recommend this perfect finish powder foundation it leaves my skin looking flawless.

you can get your powder foundation

Review of Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics

2012-08-29T07:27:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone today I'm going to be doing a review on the Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics. I was lucky enough to have these sent to me to review. As you know all products that I get sent to review I always give my own honest review.

So I got sent 7 products to review.

First up I got the light cool flawless face powder which was such a lovely powder went onto the skin nicely and looked natural I really have been enjoying using it as it makes my skin look flawless I love it i will go as far to say its the best face powder I've ever used.

Then I got the fair cool flawless face powder like the other powder this looked flawless on the skin but this one was just a little bit to pale for my skin tone.

Next onto the eye pigments..
This one is called champagne and it's stunning so pretty and so pigmented plus the staying power of these eye pigments are fantastic. With them being mineral I thought they might not last very long but boy I was wrong they have great staying power. There also so so soft them them.

Next is another eye pigment this is in taupe it's such a grey/silver colour again so pigmented and soft and also great staying power.

Then also another eye pigment this is called burnished bronze again very pigmented and soft and lasted a long time on.

So here are the colours of the eye pigments on my hand the one on the bottom on is Taupe middle one is champagne and top one is called burnished bronze. If you haven't tried these I would recommend them I think there beautiful. I wear all 3 colours together and they have stayed on my eyes for 6hours I'm very impressed.

Next is a bronzer in nude...
When I first looked at this I thought there was a little to much like glitter to it. But when I applied it to my face the glitter didn't transfer into my face as much as I thought it would. I'm also very impressed with this bronzer as its a true bronzer colour eg... It's not orange it's a gorgeous pale brown colour plus it blends so nicely too.

The last sample I was sent to try out was this blusher its called Sweet Cherub. This is a lovely blusher and it blends so nicely and it has a hint of glitter to it. It's such a nice peachy colour it's gorgeous.

So all in all i'm very impressed with lumiere mineral cosmetics and with the samples I got sent. They are such lovely products and I can't fault them at all.

It's all about balmi

2012-08-28T05:07:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone I finally got my hands on the balmi lip balms :) I brought mine on line at boots they are £4.99 each.
As I'm sure you have all heard of the aos lip balm and you all know how hard it is to get them here in the uk. Well these balmi lip balm look just like the aos lip balms and taste just as nice :)

Here is the 3 I got
Raspberry, coconut, and strawberry as I've said they are £4.99 each and from boots they have a SPF of 15 and in total there are 4 flavours to choose from.

This is what the lip balm looks like. Which as you can see is shaped like a ball which is so easy to apply as you just rub it straight on to your lips rather then using your finger and when using your finger like me you I always get the balm stuck under my nail so not having to use your finger is a god send :) these balms are so moisturising and leave my lips so soft plus they taste amazing :) my favourite has to be the coconut one as it tastes amazing and smells amazing :)
Have you tried any of these balmi lip balms? What's your favourite flavour ??

Review Liz Earle Sheer lip gloss

2012-08-21T08:18:00.001-07:00

Hello lovely readers today I've got another review.
I got sent the Liz Earle sheer lipgloss to review as you know I'm a makeup addict lol so you can imagine how excited I was to receive this as all of my reviews this is going to be my honest review so on to the review....

So here it is in its box and I must say I'm impressed with the packaging very nice

And as you can see the packaging of the lipgloss it's self is very nice and sleek and has Liz Earle on the top. I got the sheer lip gloss in 07 honey suckle as soon as I opened the packaging I was like WOW I was sat there just looking at it it's such a stunning colour it's like a pearly pink colour with gold flecks in it.

My honest review
Great packaging and great packaging on the product it's self.
Now I'm very fussy with lip glosses because I hate very sticky lip gloss so I was surprised that this sheer lip gloss is not very sticky as I hate my lips feeling sticky. Don't get me wrong this is sticky but not too sticky so that's my first thumbs up :)
And as I said the colour is stunning love the gold flecks in this sheer lip gloss it looks stunning on its own and even more stunning over your lipstick.
It's also such a soft lip gloss and it glides on your lips so smoothly and the shine on this lipgloss is lovely. Also this has a lovely smell to it too.
As I said I was so excited to try this and review it and I truly love it Liz Earle you always amaze me :)
In total there are 12 shades are they are £13.50 each for 5ml

The rest of the things I got were from aldi (Lacura range) I brought the lacura shimmering day cream and a lacura night cream about 2 wks ago and I loved them so this week I went a bit Lacura mad lol. So first I got this lacura Aqua-complete multi intensive serum can't wait to try it.

Then this lacura caffeine eye roll on.

This gorgeous nail varnish it's called pink coral and I think its stunning so pretty.

Review Liz Earle Brightening treatment mask

2012-08-20T08:10:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone today I'm going to be reviewing the Liz Earle brightening treatment mask. I was kindly sent this to review and like all my other reviews this will be my honest review of the product.

So in this picture you can see like always how everything you get from Liz Earle comes like gift wrapped which I think it such a lovely touch :)
So what I'd I receive I got the brightening treatment mask starter kit this included a 50ml of the brightening treatment mask and also 1 pure muslin cloth and a zip up kit bag.
What Liz Earle claims this product does......
Our fast acting minute mask for dull skin quickly revitalises to leave skin radiant.
Contains soothing organic aloe,Vera,purifying white clay and green mineral silt, toning witch hazel,stimulating camphor oil and softening sweet almond oil.

My honest review.....
To begin with i noticed it says on the bottle not for sensitive skin and as you all know I've got really bad sensitive skin so again I was a bit weary of trying it but I must say I've been using it for two weeks and it has not broke me out at all :)
Just when I thought Liz Earle could not surprise me they go and surprise me again :)
I've dull dry skin and wow the first time I tried this I was blown away as soon as I used the muslin cloth to wipe away the residue I had a instant radiance which was so nice as my face is always dull. You get a slight tingling sensation with this products it is normal and that way you know the product is doing what it's meant to be doing. I've had loads of complements on my face after using this saying how healthy and alive I look it's just like someone has pinched your cheeks it's a fabulous product and I would highly recommend this to everyone with dull skin Well done Liz Earle this truly is an amazing product.
Now on to prices......
Starter kit =50ml pump £13.50

Small makeup haul

2012-08-16T10:44:00.001-07:00

Hello I'm back with a small makeup haul one of the things I payed for myself and the other thing came in the post I was not expecting it it was a lovely gift from one of my YouTube friend from America.

So first I brought myself the urban decay smoked palette it was £35 and I must say I'm in love with it. The colours in the palette are amazing plus you get a little booklet with some looks you can try. Plus you get a primer potion and a 27/7 glide on eyeliner in perversion.

Next I got The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer (high lighter) this was sent to me as a gift from my lovely friend on youtube from America. I've been wanting this highlighter for ages and i just can't believe she has sent me it she made my whole week :) this highlighter is just amazing it give a lovely sheen and I would go as far to say its the best highlighter that I've tried.

2012-08-16T06:44:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone today I small tiny haul from primark that I wanted to share with you all :)

I only brought two things I got a new jacket and bag

Here is the jacket it was £25 and I'm in love with it I'm into studs and things at the moment to I just had to get it. It's very good quality for the price .

Next I got this gorgeous bag this was £12 and also has studs on this bag is so soft I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.

Haul Time !!!

2012-08-09T07:04:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone today I've got another haul for you :)

As you can see its mostly MUA products I will first start with the non mua products.

First this naked shampoo it's an intensive care shampoo I've tried this so far 3 times and I must say I'm very impressed with it. Leaves my hair so soft and shiny.

And from TKMaxx I picked up this Essie Smooth Trick oil for cuticles.

Now onto mua I got this eye primer which I'm so in love with my eye make up does not crease at all with this primer.

Next I got this lipgloss in shade 5 it's a nice pink with a little bit of shimmer to it.

Next I got this Mua lip boom I'm not too keen on the lip stick but the lipgloss is amazing.

Next I got a Mua eyebrow pencil which I've been enjoying using.

Next up is the Mua BB cream mines in light and this is the only thing I got from mua that I don't like it's a quite thick cream and I used this over the top of my moisturiser and it was awful it's drying on the face and it sticker to every dry bit on my face. So I washed it off and thought maybe it would work better with a face primer underneath it but no it did the same so if you have dry skin I would stay away from this.

Next from Mua I got the new bronzed perfection bronzer ooh my I'm in love with this bronzer it's just the right shade for me in its a true bronze colour it's not orange in anyway it's perfect :) .

Next I got the Mua Going For Gold palette

This colours in here are just amazing and very pigmented.

Next I got the Mua Undressed palette this was is ment to be a dupe for urban decay naked 1 palette.

Here are all the beautiful colours. And I've got the urban decay naked1 palette and I must say I'm totally shocked there is like only one colour in this palette that's not a true match but all the other colours are the sae as naked 1. And if I'm honest I like the undressed palette better as I find the eyeshadows are a lot softer and the shimmers in the undressed palette are a lot smaller. I love this palette :)

So that's all I got this week hope you enjoy reading xx

Haul time :) :)

2012-08-02T05:20:00.001-07:00

Hello all so I thought I would show you a small haul I got over the weekend.

First I will start with New Look As some as you may know at the moment im into crosses and skulls :)

I got these lovely earrings with crosses on they also have a spike on the end and a little bead that when it catches the sun has a rainbow effect.

Then got these earrings that also have crosses and a spike,heart and a feather these look stunning on :)

Then I could not resist this cross ring

And this is a skull necklace on a 18 inch chain

I love wearing cord bracelets in the summer so I just had to get this as you can see there are skulls. So thats all I got from New look.

I then when to TKMAXX and picked up this new CID cosmetics I-shimmer

It comes with too ends so on one end you get your highlighter product

And the other end has this soft blending blush

This is a swatch of the highlighter on my hand it's gorgeous.

Then the last place I went to was Aldi as I've heard a lot about the Lacura range they stock as people have been raving about them so I thought I would give them a go.

So the first thing I got was the Lacura Q10 night cream Anti-wrinkle.
For the price this is amazing. First time I used this I was like WOW this made my skin feel so soft and smooth :) its a quite thick consistency you only need a little bit as a little go's a long way. This says on the box for all skin types and I have got super sensitive skin so I was a bit shall I get it or not but I'm so glad I do because I love it and it has not broke me out at all.

Next Lacura thing I got from Aldi was this shimmering day cream this is for normal and sensitive skin. I also love this it has a lovely shimmer to it that looks fantastic under your foundation and this smells sooo yummy :) smells just like the EOS lip balm in summer fruits and for all of you that have not tried the EOS lip balm this smells just like peach snaps mmmm :) again for the price this is amazing they had other skin care Lacura products that I'm gonna have to go back for :)

This is what the shimmering day cream looks like I just put 1 pump on my hand.

And this is it rubbed into my had its so shimmery and lovely but this photo does not give it justice.

The nxt thing from Aldi in the Lacura range I picked up was an eyeshadow Duo in 302 purple I love the packaging it's so sleek.

Here are the two colours on my arm these are so soft and look so pretty on. And they also did more duo colours so I'm gonna get them too.

And the last thing I got from Aldi in the Lacura range was a mascara I made the mistake of getting brown as I only use black but for the price I am amazed it did not flake or clump. And as you all know I'm always buying mascaras as I'm yet to find the perfect one!! But this one blew me away it really gave my lashes volume.

Here is the brush it's quite a big brush I tend to go for the thin brushes but I love this one. So yes some times it's good to try out cheap brands. I'm so glad I did now.
So please if you love your makeup or face care products and you haven't tried Lacura in Aldi go and try some out there just fantastic.

2012-07-26T05:33:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone today I have got another review for you.
So I was kindly sent the introductory set (anti-age) from Aromatherapy Associates.
And as always this will be a honest review.
So that's get onto the products.

It came In this box

All the products came in this lovely zip bag with Aromatherapy Associates on the zip tag.

And in side this is what I got as you can see one bottle at the front was empty that because It broke in the post :(
Right now on to each product.....

First this is the instant skin firming serum you get a 5ml this is what the product claims it does.... Restore firmness and radiance in a flash with this fast acting,protective serum. Formulated to target fine lines. Plump up your skin with larch and marine algae extracts for natural collagen production and to tighten the skin. Rejuvenating pomegranate seed extracts to protect from the environmental damage. Our powerful and effective anti-age skin are uses innovative natural ingredients for maximum results.

My honest review
I used this morning and night after cleansing and toning. This like every single product in this set smells gorgeous and this left my skin so radiant and leaves your skin feeling toned and tight this is just an amazing product I really enjoyed using it.

Next up is this overnight repair mask this is a 5ml and this is what the company clams this mask does.....
An intense treatment to tighten and smooth.
Let the potent botanical extracts go to work while you get your beauty sleep.
Frankincense,rose and strawberry seed extracts feed your skin with rich fatty acids.
Designed to restore moisture and encourage natural collagen.
Nourishing oils of rice germ and millet seed help protect against environmental damage.

My honest review on this mask
Again smells amazing :) I use this twice a week you can put this on and leave for 2 hours then rinse off but I use it as a overnight treatment as I find the smell of it helps me sleep. When I wake up in the morning after applying it that night my face looks and feels amazing so soft and smooth again I would recommend this product for people with very dry skin too it's amazing.

Next is the rich repair nourishing cream this in the set is a 5ml
Again this is what the company say about this product...
Renew your skins vitality with intensely moisturising rainfall botanicals.
Fair traded inca inchi oil from Peru is one of the worlds richest plant sources of omega 3s
Cell-stimulating rose,patchouli and frankincense encourages natural cell renewal.
Soften and smooth the appearance of fine lines.

My honest review on this cream
Once again the smell is just amazing :) I use this every morning and night this is so moisturising and this as also really softened my skin and this might sound strange but it feels really cooling on the skin the cream is so rich and gorgeous I really love this cream and it's also great for my dry skin. My skin loves this nourishing cream :)

Next is this rich repair eye cream in this set you get 3ml
So this is what the company say about this eye cream....
Maintain a plump,radiant quality to the area wrong your eyes.
Shea butter and rose wax help replenish your skins natural moisture barrier.
Baobab extract,from Africa's 'tree of life' works to restore elasticity.
Arctic strawberry work on suppleness, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

My Honest review on this eye cream
Again this smells amazing. Again I used mine morning and night I really enjoyed this eye cream I think it's one of the best eye creams I've ever used its so soothing and it absorbs very quickly and does not leave a greasy or heavy felling around your eyes at all. If you have tried like me loads of eye creams and have not found the right one for you then give this one a go as I've said I've tried loads in the past but this is the best one I've ever tried AMAZING.

The next on I go in the set is called fine line face oil and this was 3ml
So let's see what the company claims this does....
A super-rich treatment to diminish the appearance of fine lines.
Contains anti-ageing extracts of evening primrose and ximenia, a wild African plum,both high in essential fatty acids.
Full of essential oils of rose,patchouli and ylang-ylang which encourages healthy,glowing skin.
Apple seed and raspberry seed oils help natural collagen ,softening the look of fine lines.

My honest review of this fine line face oil.....
Again smells amazing. Now when it comes to face oil I get so scared because most oils in the past have broke me out due to the oils have left me with greasy film :(
But I tried it and I'm in love this product is great it's so so light and not greasy at all and it does plump the skin and make my skin look radiant. I really enjoyed using this oil and it didn't even brake me out which is always a good thing :)

Next in the set you get an 3ml of intensive skin treatment oil.
Now I won't be able to do a review on this because sadly this broke on its way in the post to me which is a shame all I can say on this oil is that it smelt amazing because it had leaked you can still smell it in the box and it the zip case :)

Ok so that was my review of the Introductory set (anti-age) online this retails for £31.50 and I think it's a fabulous trail size set.

Review on Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator

2012-07-25T06:51:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather we have been having in the uk it's beautiful for a change lol
I'm sat in the garden catching some rays as I write this blog post :)
So on to the review: so I was kindly sent the Liz Earle gentle face Exfoliator and as you all know by now I'm very honest with my reviews :)
So here is a pic of what I got sent

And with all of Liz Earle products they come wrapped up like this

Which I think is such a lovely touch :)

This is what the gentle face Exfoliator looks like on the back of my hand.
I received this about 3 weeks ago.

What the company Liz Earle say about this product......
This kind facial Exfoliator for blocked pores and congested or flaky skin gently sloughs away dead skin cells and impurities for cleaner,brighter and smoother skin. Contains purifying butter and specially selected fine jojoba beads.

My Honest Review
When I first got this I did not read the bottle very well it says not suitable for sensitive skin and now i have really really sensitive skin so I panicked a bit but I had no problems with this at all it didn't break me out at all :) I think my skin really loves this Exfoliator as its made my skin look brighter and feel a lot smoother and also I have very dry flakey skin and it made my skin just beam and took away my flakey skin :)
I first used this 3 times a week but I've now cut it down to twice a week I'm lovely this product so much and the smell of this Exfoliator is just Devine it has even got rid of the nasty black heads I had on my nose so I would really recommend this Exfoliator for anyone with flakey skin and for anyone who as a problem with black heads :) so if you want a brighter smoother skin this is for you. I can see why this is a award winner :)
Now on to the price
70ml pump £13.00
