Let's talk make-up removing routine! | Liz Earle

Hello...

Let's talk make-up removing routine!

I'm guilty of using a lot of make-up wipes which most of beauty bloggers hate with passion. I also use cleansing milk with cotton pads. 

I must admit that removing make up with wipes make my skin feel very irritated and sore. Even though it's an easy and fast process I feel like wipes don't do any good to my skin.

Cleansing milk and cotton pads that I sometimes use, feel nice on my skin but they don't remove all my make-up and dead skin no matter how long I clean it for.

Not being happy with the make-up cleansers I have been using before, I was really excited to finally try something different.

Liz Earle "Cleanse & Polish hot cloth cleanser" is an award winner, soft cleansing cream which comes with a quite big white cloth. Using it couldn't be any easier and more relaxing. All you need to do is gently massage the cream over your face and neck, and when you're done, just rinse the cloth in a warm/hand-hot water and polish the cream off your face using the cloth. I find this process very calming and relaxing. I think that the hot cloth is the reason why. It makes my skin instantly smooth and I really like how good my skin feels in the morning! It's smooth, moisturised and looks very refreshed and awakened. No more irritated and sore skin which was making my face look red, and tired therefore I didn't feel confident without makeup! Now, I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. I'm really happy with this products, and I think I might purchase a bigger bottle of it, and throw away the wipes.

The 50ml bottle that I have + the cloth costs only £9.25, so it's very affordable. 

If you've never tried it before you can get a small 15ml tube that comes with a cloth as well and it's only for £3.25. There's a lot more bottle sizes to choose from. Just have a look at their website here and pick the one for you.

What do you girls use to remove your make-up??

NYC

Hi lovelies! 

As much as I love being surrounded by colours, and love all the bright colour makeups, my makeup is usually in nude tones. I love wearing a nice bright lipstick on special occasions but with my everyday makeup I go for a nude one. Nude lips also make my eyes pop, which I love!

Last time I went shopping, I was looking for a new lip crayon to buy (I'm obsessed with them lately) and I also wanted to get a new, nude lippy, so then I noticed this cute City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color from New York Color, and I got one in shade "Nolita Neautral (010)". I thought the colour would be much brighter than it actually is. On the packaging it says that it's an "Intense Lip Color" which I'm gonna disagree with. It's a great colour but it's definitely not intense. Although I haven't tried the other shades, which might be more intense then the nude one, so I would love to try the other colours to compare with the one I have. This lip colour makes the lips look very subtle but don't expect it to be super pigmented because it's not. I still like it, and it looks super nice with a nude lipgloss on.

I love lip crayons because they're super handy and they always feel very soft on lips, just like this one. 

The NYC Intense Lip Color comes in 9 shades. You can choose from a light nude ones, to orange one, to even dark reds and plums. They cost only £3.49 so they're very affordable. I'm planning to get all the nude ones ;)

Rimmel - Colour Rush

Last time I went shopping, I seen that amazing lip crayon. It caught my eye because it looked super cute and the colour was just amazing. It's a Lasting Finish Colour Rash Balm from Rita Ora's collection for Rimmel London. There are 5 colours available in this collection, all of them are amazing, so it was hard for me to make the decision, but I've finally picked up the brightest pink one in shade "I want candy!".

I'm a big fan of lip crayons as they look very pretty and they're super handy as well.

The colour of this lipstick is absolutely stunning, and it's as bright as you can see in the pictures.

It's easy to apply and it lasts for ages! The first time I was wearing this lipstick, I thought that if I'm gonna eat or drink something, the whole colour will fade and I will have to re-apply it. Well, I was wrong. The colour looked perfect, it lasted all day, even after eating and drinking. It wasn't as glossy as before, even though it's not a super glossy lipstick, but the colour was still as bright and perfect as it was when I first applied it.  As it's a very bright lipstick, I don't wear it everyday, but if I still want to wear it put just a bit of it on my lips and put a nice pearly lipstick on top of it. It makes a perfect pastel pink colour and looks very subtle.

I don't mind re-applying lipsticks, but it's amazing when you can just eat with the lipstick on and not worrying about re-applying it. I'm really impressed with this lipstick and would recommend it to everyone who's looking for a bright, soft lipstick that will last all day!

Get the Rimmel Colour Rush balm in "I want candy!" here for only £5.99.

Carmex - lips savior

I use lip balms, lip oils etc. quite a lot, as I can't stand my lips being dry or chapped. 

I have used many different lip balms in my life. Recently I've tried lip balm by Carmex, which is a brand that makes lip care and skin care products (Would love to try them all). 

The lip balms come in a little, yellow pot.

I must say, that the first time I tried it, I wasn't sure if I liked how it felt on my lips. It's because it smells and feels like the Vicks Rub! After couple of days of using it, I got used to it and now I actually like that feeling. It's transparent on lips but makes them look super smooth!! It's also available in cherry flavor, which I'd love to try.

I got 6 of them, and take them with me everywhere I go, I keep some at home and in my hand bags. I'm really happy with it, and I think it's the best lip balm I've ever used. I've reviewed a nice lip oil a while ago, and I thought it was great (still is) but this Carmex lip balms works even better!

It doesn't only work when it's on my lips. It also prevents my lips from being dry and chapped. 

It works absolutely fantastic!

This one is a Healing lip balm, but Carmex also sells Smoothing, Ultra Smooth,  and Protecting ones and they also sell tinted moisturisers. They all come in a stick, which some of you might like better, as you wouldn't have to use your fingers to apply it. They also are flavored. 

The Classic Carmex lip balm, costs only £2.60 and you can purchase it and the other lip care products here.

Casetify

Hello everyone!

Most cell phones these days look pretty much the same, so most of us like to buy a nice phone case to make a phone look more personal.

There are a lot of shops that sell phone cases, but they're not always very practical or they break very easily. 

So for that reason, I want to tell you about an online store who I personally think, make the best phone cases. 

The shop is called Casetify (used to be Casetagram) and they have absolutely tons of phone cases for many different phone devices. It was pretty hard for me to choose the one I wanted, because all of them were amazing! Everyone will find a perfect case for them, as they have girly cases, ones with zombies, animals, flags, food, quotes, landscapes, Disney, characters from your favorite movies, your favorite singers, ones that look like an iPod or calculator. You will find many more on their website.

 When you found the picture you love, next you get to choose from couple case styles and even case colours to suit you the best!

I chose a picture that I thought was the most gorgeous. It's a picture/painting of a Chanel perfume bottle on it. The quality of the picture is absolutely amazing, and looks very clear! I'm extremely happy with that case. It's very strong as well, not like the cases I've had before, that would break after just dropping it on the floor. 

If you love the one I got, then what are you waiting for? Get yours here! Not that it only costs $39.95, but you get a FREE worldwide delivery as well!

If you want to make your phone look even more personal then you can design your own case (Create your own case here)!

These cases make an amazing gift as well. As you all know it's Father's Day soon, so you can order 2 cases with a code : COOLDAD, 1 case for you and 1 for your Dad and you will get an amazing 40% off your order!!

Don't forget to check out their store (Casetify.com) and follow them on Twitter (Twitter.com/Casetify) :)

Candy Dip by Elegant Touch

Hello!

I absolutely love nail art and doing my nails, but one of the things that I don't really like to do on my nails is glitter. I was super excited to try the Candy Dip by Elegant Touch anyways, as I thought it was super cute! It comes with 3 pots of glitter, each in a different shade.

I got one in shades "Bubblegum", so glitter pots are in 3 shades of pink, and I think the colours are absolutely gorgeous. The box also contains a sheet with 18 double sided stickers for your nails (8 extra ones). You apply the stickers on your nails, then cut it in the right shape and take the protective layer off, which was the worst part for me. I must say it's a bit hard doing it by yourself.

The last part is just to put glitter on the your nails, I used cotton buds for it.

I'd suggest you to put a top coat over it, so the glitter will stay in place and won't end up on everything you touch...but then, your top coat nail polish brush might end up messy and full of glitter.
The finished effect was all right in my opinion, I think it's perfect for teenagers and girls who really love glitter, so I don't think I would purchase it again.
The good thing is that you don't need to use nail polish remover, just take the stickers off your nails. 

Candy Dip by Elegant Touch - £4.49

Bellapierre- Shimmer Powder

Hello everyone! :) 

I'm the type of girl who wears natural/nude eye shadows. I like wearing colors on my cheeks and lips but I always do my eyes pretty simple.

I love shimmer eye shadows because they make my eyes pop and they give my eyes and face a natural glow. One of my new favorite eye shadows at the moment is a Shimmer Powder by Bellapierre and it's in shade Champagne.

It comes in a tiny 2.35g pot which I find very handy, and you can just pop it in your bag whenever you go somewhere and you don't need to worry that it will spill everywhere.

The colour is absolutely beautiful, although It's very pigmented, so I like to wear it on special occasions, or I just pop it on the inner corner of my eye, making my eyes look bigger and more awake. 

This Shimmer Powder is long lasting as well so you don't have to re-do your eye shadow every 3 hours or so, it will last hours longer than that, and even after hours of wearing it, it still looks perfect even in a crease.  I'm very happy with this eye shadow.

Would I recommend it? Definitely yes! Even though, I think it's a bit expensive as it costs £12.99, but it's definitely worth it's prize. If you're not too keen on this colour, then there are lots of other colours you can choose from! You will definitely find something for yourself.

If you enjoy my reviews then please follow me via GFC, I'd appreciate it! :)
