Calling all Liz Earle fans

Well well if there wasn't enough magazine freebie offers floating around then I find another one. This time it is Red magazine with the beautiful Anna 'True Blood' Paquin up front.  Oh I do love a bit of True Blood... Eric is a hottie!

Bite me Eric

So what are Red giving us?  Drum roll please... a 30ml miniature Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser plus they have also thrown in a muslin cloth to go with it.  Love it!

I couldn't of spotted this at a better time, since I go on holiday in just over a week. This is the perfect size to travel with as it could go into hand luggage if you wanted. 

Great for cleansing and removing all traces of the most stubborn makeup - including waterproof products. Liz Earle is a miracle worker and part of my everyday skin care routine.

Red magazine is out now. UK only though... Boo hiss for my international followers :-(

So long, farewell - Empties #2

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working hard to use up half finished products.  A lot of my things be it bathroom or makeup products get used to a point then I have a tendency to move on to something else without finishing.  So its been a project called ‘sort it out Angela and de-clutter’.  So I thought I’d show you my recent empties as opposed to my monthly favourites . . .

 
I’ve managed to finished two of my favourite foundations,  there is no doubt in my mind that I will be repurchasing these two at some stage.  I think these are both great foundations especially my Bobbi Brown - Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation.  I wore this foundation for my wedding back in 2010 -  this is how much faith I have in this product.   This gives a medium to full coverage, lasts all day and is oil free with an SPF25.  This is the second bottle of this and I do love it.  I will repurchase this as I think it's fabulously long lasting foundation.


The NARS Sheer Glow is favourite again, it suits my skin perfect when it comes to the colour.  It gives you this dewy 'glow' which makes you look healthy.  My only annoyance with this is the lack of a pump.  Is it really that difficult to provide a pump?

This little pot is my Corrector from Bobbi Brown.  Who knew such a small product could make such a difference and save me from my under eye circles (I have a under eye video here if you wish to see how I apply it)  If you have trouble with dark circles I urge you to pop to a Bobbi Brown counter asap to get a colour match.  In reality the Bobbi Brown corrector is a relativity new investment for me and I only started using in 2010.  Wedding day again.  I do think to myself how did I live without you??  Would I repurchase?  I already have! Hehe

Before I ever discovered Estee Lauder Double Wear eyeliners, this Dior Waterproof Eyeliner in the shade Trinidad Black was my go to liner.  Lasts really well and is great on my upper water line.  Would I repurchase it?  Probably no, but if ever Estee Lauder were to discontinue their eyeliners I would then consider repurchasing.

I am a fan of Liz Earle when it comes to the award winning cleanse and polish.  But sadly when I comes to Gentle Face Exfoliator this doesn’t float my boat.  Don’t get me wrong I like this but I’m not in LOVE.  I feel like it only scratches the surface,  it doesn’t give me a deep enough exfoliation.  I just need something more abrasive.  Now if you have sensitive or delicate skin then I would recommend this as it is gentle enough.  Would I repurchase?  Sorry but no.

And finally my bubble bath/shower gel from The Body Shop in the scent Japanese Cherry Blossom.  I'm a big  floral fan and I bought this along with the fragrance and the body puree.  It turns out in my house hold I'm not the only floral lover . . . it turns out the hubby likes floral fragrances too!!  It’s a nice product but I much prefer the Rituals shower gel.  A no to repurchasing :-(

Hope you enjoyed, night night everyone!

My Liz Earle Experience...

For a while now I have had my eye on Liz Earle.  Lots of beauty bloggers and YouTube guru's seem to rave about her products.  I myself have never had the pleasure of seeing or even holding anything Liz Earle has created.  So after a little research I found out some bits and bobs I might just like from Ms Earle.

Firstly I have to show you the super cute packaging..... 

How well presented is this???  It's like Christmas

Ten out of ten to the people of Liz Earle.  I think the packaging is lovely.  I'm not usually someone who is bothered how hings are packed.  As long as it arrives in one piece and on time is all that matters to me.  The fact that all the people at Liz Earle have gone to so much effort is ammmazing!  Pat on the back to ya!!

Eye treatments

I'm starting to feel like age isn't on my side anymore, so I'm desperately trying anything that will delay any ageing to my precious skin.  In my family; the eye area is one most affected by ageing which I find depressing at the thought that I'll end up with puffy saggy eyes.  So when I saw Liz Earle did a range of eye treatment remedies I was all over it!

I picked the (from left to right in the above picture) ...

Daily Eye Repair  ~ This is a light reflective brightening lotion which helps repairing the end area.
Eye Bright Soothing Eye Treatment  ~ Refreshes tired, puffy eyes.  Full of natural ingredients, it brightens and can also be used to remove light makeup on the eye lids.
Smoothing Line Serum  ~ A night serum which helps to plump and firm skin around the eyes, lips forehead.

I also picked up the Healthy Beautiful Skin Kit (this is the oily/combination set)

Liz Earle Healthy Beautiful Skin Kit

As I hadn't ever used anything from Liz Earle I opted for smalled size items to see if I would like them.  This cute kit contains ... One Muslin Cloth, Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish Cleanser, Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Moisturiser.

They all come in a small travel size bag and all the items are 50ml which is OK if you want to travel with them.  Also if you new to the brand perfect sizes to see if you like them!

Also as if  Liz Earle could not possibly get any better they give me this...

My feebie from Liz

I got a little gift with my purchase which I'm chuffed about, I think it's a really nice touch.  I was given 30ml tube of Hot Cloth Cleanser with a Muslin Cloth to go with it.  I'm going to save this tube for travelling as it is a 'plane safe' size.

Are you a fan of Liz?  I recommend you have look at her items if you haven't already.  You can look here.

P.S. This post was meant to go open before I when to Chicago but some how it was left alone and unloved in my draft box.
