#63 Cleanse and Polish | Review


Good Morning! 

Today is all about skincare, Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish to be exact. Recently as I've been away the majority of my posts have all had a fashion focus, so I thought it was about time we have a change of topic. Looking back on my beauty routine history I literally do not understand how I used to cope with make up wipes. Don't get me wrong, they are great for festivals when you need to freshen up and I do occasionally use them to wipe the make up off the back of my hand etc. but never ever to remove my make up/cleanse, they just don't make the cut anymore! 

Nowadays, in the morning I like to use Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish straight after my shower, then follow with a water based cleanser, then toner and finally moisturiser. However, in the evening I use a water based cleanser and eye make up remover to get rid of my make up, then follow with the Cleanse and Polish, then toner and moisturiser. 

If you aren't aware of how Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish is used then listen up. Using the pump you simply pump out as much cleanser as you need onto your fingertips (it's a creamy texture), then you rub it in all over your face, finally you wet the muslin cloth with hot water and use it to remove any excess cleanser. Easy!   

The main reason that I use this cleanser is simply due to the fact that it gives such a deep clean, removing all dirt without drying the skin. In the evenings I feel as though it works so well on removing any excess make up/dirt that hasn't been removed by my water based cleanser. As it is a creamy formula it is also very soothing and gentle on the skin. Finally, the smell is amazing!

If you're looking to add another step to your beauty routine or simply try something new, I really recommend that you give this a go!

#62 Italy, Argegno | OOTD


Top | River Island
Mom Jeans | Topshop
Belt | River Island (came with a pair of shorts)
Shoes | ASOS
Clutch | Primark

Hello! 

I have now returned from Italy and am back in the cold, gloomy thing that is England. I literally had the most amazing time away with my family, but more on that another time.  This is the final outfit I had photos of so thought I'd share it with y'all. I've lost track of what day is what as I didn't have photos of my outfit for every day, so let's just forget about all that haha. I am literally loving my mom jeans at the moment (as you've probably noticed!) They are so comfy and I love how they can be dressed up or down. I think I might do a post on how I style mom jeans soon but we'll see! 

I am off to a small festival this weekend so next week look out for a couple more lifestyle posts next week, amongst many more! 

Until next time,

#59 Italy, Argegno | OOTD Day 8

Hello guys and gals! 

I'm half way through my time in Argegno and it's flying past way too quickly for my liking. You may have noticed that I've skipped from Day 4 to Day 8 with the OOTDs, it's simply because I didn't get any good pictures so I'm skipping ahead a bit - you're not missing out on anything too exciting though so don't worry!

Necklace | Stall in France

Shoes | ASOS 
Bag | Urban Outfitters 

We've just popped back to the apartment for a bit so thought I'd share what I am wearing today but a post featuring what I wear this evening is due to follow tomorrow.

#61 Italy, Argegno | OOTD Day 9


Playsuit | Zara 
Shoes | ASOS 

I know these aren't the BEST quality photos but how gorgeous is this Zara playsuit? As soon as I saw it I literally couldn't take my mind off of it and had to buy it! I'm not usually one to wear colour but I love the blue shade of this piece and the pattern is lovely. It's a great statement summer item and it can easily be dressed up or down, depending on shoes and make up. Although I opted for bold eyes and a nude lip, I also love pairing this outfit with a bold red lip, the red really compliments the blue tone of the playsuit.

#60 Italy, Argegno | OOTN Day 8

Hat | River Island 
Necklace | H&M
Blouse | Zara 
Jeans | Topshop 
Shoes | ASOS 
Satchel | Urban Outfitters 

Last night we caught a short ferry over to Bellagino for dinner and the food was ah-may-zing. As well as my outfit I wanted to share the make up look I'd gone for. I always find eyeshadow a bit hit and miss but really liked the final look last night. I used my Stila pallet on the eyes and kept the lips simple with 'Shy Girl' by MAC. 

I hope you're all having a lovely week so far!

Here are a couple of outfits that I've worn over the past couple of days. Luckily the weather has been really good so far, although this coming week isn't looking too hopeful which is a shame. My straighteners also don't work here so it's killing me not being able to curl my short locks *cry cry*. On the plus side I managed to pick up a new foundation and am planning the review post already, so look out for that one!

#57 Lengthy Lashes


If you want longer, lump free lashes then listen up. I recently picked up No.7 Extreme Length Mascara (£12.50) from my local boots and boy does that wand create some serious lengthening magic! 

Compared to my other mascaras this beauty really gives my lashes length, without clumps or that dreaded spider legged finish. The wand is nice and thin so it's easy to reach all lashes without getting black dots all over your eyelids. As this mascara creates some serious length I don't tend to use it on my bottom lashes, instead I've been opting for Clinique's High Impact Mascara (£17.50). 

This dreamy combo works wonders to open up the eyes to give a beautiful finish to all eye shapes. In the summer months, these mascaras help make eyes pop even when eye make up is kept minimal. 

What is your favourite mascara?
