No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water

Hiya Everyone. A review for you all today. And I apologise in advance, I just can not string words together today!

After receiving a voucher for £5 off No7 products in Boots, I decided to pick up this Cleansing Water. I've been wanting to try Bioderma for a long time so got this as a first dip into the world of micellar waters. I've been using this for about 3 weeks and I am really pleased with it. 

I have combination skin and I've had no problems with it at all. It hasn't dried out my skin nor has it broke me out or made me oily. It's just done a wonderful job of removing my make up every night. I use one large cotton pad with about 8 pumps of this to take off my make up. I rarely use it on my eyes, because to be honest it isn't great at removing eye make up, and it does sting slightly as its not really meant for the eye area. After use I will then use my normal cleanser to make sure all my make up is completely removed and I am left with squeaky clean skin.

I haven't noticed any tightening of my pores since using this. However I don't seem to be as oily on my t-zone as I was before using this. So if your on the look out for a make up remover that will help with reducing oil then the No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water, might be something to look into further. It's usually £9 but Boots often have offers on No7 products so keep an eye out for them. I got this for just £4 and it is definitely worth it. Because of the beauty blogger inside me I will no doubt be trying Bioderma now its in the UK. I'm really hoping it's worth the hype and will be more effective than this to remove both face and eye make up.

Much Love Gemma xo.

Gemma Loves:: Liz Earle

Ok so I know I wasnt going to be writing any beauty blogs but I just have to share my love of Liz Earle with all you guys!

I assume you have all heard of Liz Earle but for those of you who havnt, It is a skincare range  (founded by Liz Earle and Kim Buckland) that uses naturally active ingredients (plant extracts etc.)That is suitable for absolutly everyone no matter age or skin type.

I first heard of Liz Earle when I was watching Youtube videos and reading blogs trying to find a decent skin care regime that I could stick to. Up until purchasing Liz Earle I was using a variety of brands and never really found anything too outstanding that really stood out to me! Therefore when a product would run out I would just look for a cheap replacement somewhere in town. And embarassingly I would often not even cleanse my skin instead I would wipe a facewipe across my face, tone then moisturise and I was good to go! (embarassing and shameful I know for a qualified Beauty Therapist :/)

So one day in July (the 20th to be precise) I placed an order on the Liz Earle website after months of pondering weather I should spend the money on these products or not! I ordered the Essentials Try-Me Kit, which contains the all famous Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser(30ml tube) the Instant Boost Skin Tonic(50ml bottle) and 2 15ml tubes of the Skin Repair moisturiser, one for dry/sensitive skin and one for normal/combination skin. I thought this would be the best thing to buy on my limited budget so I could test out the products before purchasing any full sized products! It turns out I do love Liz Earle products and they do wonders for my skin :)

So now three months have passed and I finally have a skin care regime in place that I am actually sticking to! I purchased a full size cleanser as soon as the mini one in the kit ran out! I honestly felt and saw such a difference in my skin the first time I used it and from then I knew that it would be my staple cleanser! No matter what toner and mosituriser I use in the future I will with out a doubt use Cleanse and Polist Hot Cloth Cleanser! I also loved the toner and a full size bottle arrived on my doorstep yesterday the small 30ml bottle in the kit lasted all this time so this full sized one will hopefully not need replacing anytime in the near future! Now as for the moisturiser I havnt purchased a full sized one because right now my skin has a mind of its own, one day it'll be oily the next it will be dry! (I blame all the foundations and primers I have been trying out recently) so until my skin decides what its going to do im just alternating between cheaper alternatives aimed at certain skin types!

Aswell as there amazing skincare products. Liz Earle's service is brilliant! When ordering off the website (theres no where to purchase Liz Earle where I live so I do it all online) your order is delivered in just a few days and the products always come beautifully wrapped. You recieve small guides on how to use the products you have purchased. And everytime Ive had a delivery Ive recieved a small sample product, when I placed my first order I recieved a booklet showing and explaining all Liz Earle products along with a 15ml tube of the Skin Repair Light moisturiser for combination/oily skin and also a sachet of the Sheer Skin Tint in all 4 shades! My second purchase was the full sized cleanser and along with that I got a sample of a body wash (I cant remember what it was called because I didnt really like the scent so my boyfriend nicked it!) and with my most recent order, 200ml toner and the Rose and Lavender Special Edition Cleanse and Polish (i love the scent of this and I will be using it as my night time cleanser) I recieved a sample of the new perfume; Botanical Essence No.15. I honestly can not describe to you how much I am in love with this scent! It's amazing! When I first found out about the perfume I wasnt impressed and I didnt think I would like it, how wrong was I?! I think I will have to be purchasing it sometime soon!

I feel like that was a very rambling boring post but I just had to share my love of Liz Earle with you guys! Im sorry for the lack of my own pictures but I did hopelessly try to take a few snaps with my awful replacement Sony Ericcson phone but they were shocking so Im afraid these images I got off the net will have to do.

The perfume I am dying to buy

Hope you enjoyed this post.
