Only recently have I converted to using a cloth based cleanser rather than micellar water to remove my make-up, and I started with using the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser. If you haven't used this before then please see my post on the Liz Earle try me kit I reviewed here. In several words, it changed my make-up removing life and I didn't want to ever use anything else.. until this.

 This balm makes my face feel softer than I have ever felt before!! It feels really nice when applied to the face and runs smoothly over the skin without irritation. With the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser, sometimes the cream would get into my eye and would sting however this doesn't happen with the balm. Even the toughest of my make-up is removed within seconds!

Another bonus of this cleanser is the cloth that comes with it. The cloth has two sides, a muslin side and a softer more flannel-like, microfibre side. The muslin side helps remove the balm and make-up and after  that, you can use the other side to "deep cleanse, buff, brighten and tone the skin" as it says on the kit I purchased. Another added bonus is that it is machine washable! So you can just pop it in with your next load of washing and no need to keep throwing away and buying more! Although the Liz Earle muslin cloth's do tend to stain so after a while you may need to buy more cloths! However I have only been using this a week so I can't tell you whether these ones do.

This is the kit I got which includes a mini cleanser, one cloth and a mini age support cream:





 The age support cream I have only used once and I used it overnight. The cream didn't sink in too well and made my face more oily as I already have combination skin. However my face did feel smooth the next morning, it just needed a little taming.


Overall, the only down side to this balm is the price. At £38 I won't keep buying the full size product out of my student budget and will probably stick to the Liz Earle one. Maybe I will ask for this one for my birthday and use every now and again for a skin treat! However if you have the money, I would highly recommend this cleanser.

Although a bit apprehensive at first, with the small one sided brush looking a bit scary, I am pleasantly surprised. This mascara brush gives you a lot of freedom in shaping your lashes and really adds so much length and volume to your lashes! My only downfall would be that it easily clumps, so if that is something you hate in a mascara, I would not recommend this!

I usually use this with my favourite mascara ever - Maybelline 'Falsies' mascara to separate the lashes a little more. I do love using this mascara, it makes me feel so much more in control and I will definitely be using this every day!

Thanks for reading!

I could not rate these high enough and would definitely recommend them if you are considering them for yourself or they would make a brilliant Christmas present for a make-up lover as they are so worth the money!

After hearing nothing but good things from the Liz Earle skincare products range, in particular the hot cloth cleanser, I decided to give it a go. Boots are currently selling a 'try me kit' for combination/oily skin (my skin type) for £26 which includes:

For an everyday look, I tend to stick to the same beauty products and although I love trying new products, I think I have finally found the ones that best work for me. A little background check on my skin before I start:  I have combination to oily skin and I am very pale. Also because of the fact that foundation usually brings me out in spots, I only use BB cream. Here are the products I use and the order of my every day look:
