Something I Regret :(

I really don't like talking negatively about a product but, I was that unhappy with this buy i had to share it. 

Its the Boots Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm. I purchased this because i ran out of my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and needed something to fill the gap until pay day. So seeing this in Boots for £8 I thought what a bargain and its just what I needed.

Now i have never used a cleansing balm before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I have heard so many good reviews about the Clinique balm so I was hoping this would be a good little dupe.

Well... it starts off good, the balm is solid in the tube but as soon as you dig your fingers in starts melting and makes it super easy to rub into the face. 

Then rubbing it into the face it is super oily and really hard to wash off. i felt like i had to wash my face with a face wash afterwards to make sure all the product was gone! 

Its not something I would by again, when I wash my face I want it to feel clean, not like i have rubbed butter all over my face!

Have you tired this? What is your favourite hot cloth cleanser?

Bedside Beauty

Theres not much more that will help me settle down for a good sleep then a little pamper before bed. The products i love using are...

Night Cream: Origins Night a Mins. This is a prefect moisturiser for me, its a thick cream with a gel like consistency. The cream sinks effortlessly into the skin ad leaves my skin super moisturised and smelling delicious! The cream has a chocolaty orange scent which only hangs around for a short while so its not something thats off putting! 

Eye Cream: This is something i use morning and night, its the Boots Botanics Radiant Youth Eye Cream. This cream is again one that just sinks into the skin and it doesn't leave a sticky residue. I apply this by squeezing a small amount onto my ring finger and pat it in all under my eye and up to my brow bone.

That extra treat: This is something i use when my skin can use that little extra pick me ups, Origins Drink up Intensive Overnight Mask - I have done a full review on this here and theres no denying that i love this stuff. It the easiest face mask to use and adds so much more subtleness to the skin!

Body - I love a good body butter and one of my favourites is The Body Shops body butter in Coconut its super thick and easily melts into the skin. Plus who doesn't like going to sleep, smelling like their on holiday!

Hands: My hands get really really dry in winter so i have to keep on top of hand cream, i have my little handbag hero Soap and Glory Hand Food on me at all times but i love to use this Figs & Rouge hand cream in Mango before bed for that little extra softness.

Hair: My boyfriend has a very annoying habit of twiddling my hair when were in bed and most would think arrhh. But no seriously he twiddles and leave knots all the time. So i use my Tangle Teezer every night before bed to make my hair as knot free as i possibly can

What is in your bedtime routine?
