No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water Review!

RRP £9

I picked this up with one of my No7 vouchers. I wanted a quick cleanser to use on the mornings where I can't be bothered to cleanse my face properly. Like this morning, getting up at 5:30, you certainly can;t be bothered to cleanse and polish at that time of the morning.

I've used this a couple of times and it really wakes your skin up.and leaves it feeling cleansed. I wouldn't use this everyday but as a quick early morning thing, it's perfect.

Products I need:

Soap & Glory Heel Genius - My feet are so dry and flaky (ewww) they are crying out for love! Any more foot cream suggestions would be lovely! (Available at Boots)

NYC Lights Camera Glitter - I've been after a good glitter top coat and for £2.49, I think that's good value. So I'm going to be picking this up. (Available at Superdrug)

Pantene Pro-V Clarifying Shampoo - I want a clarifying shampoo to get rid of build up. I use quite a few products on my hair and I think this would be great for getting rid of that, perfect for once a week. Can't wait to try this out! (Available at Boots)

No 7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water - I want an easy option for when I'm getting up early for uni and I can't be bothered to cleanse my face. Something like this would be super easy. I am hoping I can get another No 7 voucher so this would be £4.

I can't wait to try some of the new MUA products too like the cream blush and the nail constellations. I'm going to pick them up as soon as the come in!

No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser Review!

RRP £10

I brought this cleanser when boots were giving away No7 vouchers so it only cost me £5 which I thought was great value. This is No7's answer to the infamous Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I am a massive fan of Liz Earle and I didn't expect this to live up to it at all. But I was pleasantly surprised.

The product comes with it's own muslin cloth just like the L.E. I really love the packaging too. The pump gives you an exact amount of product which was the perfect amount for my face. The cleanser is in a massive bottle and I think it will last for a while.

I alternate this cleanser with my L'Occitane Angelica one. And I sometimes use both if I want a deep cleanse.

The product claims to brighten your skin and I really feel that it works, my face is a lot brighter after using it and my skin feels so soft and nourished!

The formula is the same consistency and it's pretty much an exact dupe of L.E. The main difference is the smell, L.E smells a lot more herbal based where as this has no smell at all.

Overall I really love the No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser and it works just as well as L.E, it is also is cheaper, which is a bonus!

*Quick update on Dolly Peg, we will be launching on the 10th of August which is next Friday (a week tomorrow) I can't wait! *

Everyday Make Up #1

I have found a new love for experimenting with make up but these products have found themselves in my everyday make up routine. I have to admit the majority of this make up costs around a £1 or was free. But I did splash out (ish) on the foundation.

After cleansing and toning. I slap on the moisturiser. I am currently using Avon Fresh Hydration SPF15 Day Cream. I never really loved moisturiser before make up up until a few months ago (shocking I know) but I now can't go with out it. I know that my skin is protected from the sun and my make up stays in place so much longer.

A recent addition to my make up routine is the POREfessional and that gal primer. I alternate these depending on how I feel to be honest. Click here to see my full reviews!

I then move on to my Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation. I brought this after seeing many Youtube videos and seeing that a lot of vloggers recommended this foundation. I use shade No. 52 Vanilla. It claims to stay in place for 16 hours and it does! I never have to touch up my foundation which is a bonus when I am at work!

My next step is Collection's lasting perfect concealer. I really love this and I recommend this so much! I love the coverage. I use shade light 2.

Moving onto my eyes. I then coat my lashes in Avon colour perfect mascara. I have used this mascara for ages and I'm finding that the formula is not as good as it used to be. So I am on a look out for a new mascara! (Any recommendations would be amazing!)

I then brush my eye lids with No 7 stay perfect eyeshadow in shade 10 wheat sheaf. I find that it gives a nice even coverage and wakes my eyes up a bit.

I then line my eyes very lightly with MUA shade 19. It's a great eyeshadow and adds a bit of colour. I find this look to be a lot more natural than a heavy kohl eyeliner.

My brows then are tidied up with a brow comb and I fill in any gaps with MUA eyeshadow shade 20. I was using MUA brow pencil but I found it to be too thick and my eyebrows looked caked on!

To finish of my face I use a bronzer or blush depending on how I feel. I am currently using MUA bronzer in shade 2. I find that this isn't dark enough for my skin so I have to use a fair bit to get any definition.

To top it all off I use my favourite lipstick which again is an MUA product ( I LOVE MUA!) I use shade 12. I love this bright pink!

And that is my everyday routine! I told you that most of the products are cheap but then again I do like my bargains! I will be doing this post again when I change this up a bit!

P.S If you have a moment I'd be ever so grateful if you could nominate littlepaperswans for the newcomer award at the Cosmo Blog Awards! I know I don't stand much of a chance but it only takes a second!
