Sleek Blushers- A Lazy Person's MakeUp Staple!!


Hey Everybody!!
Happy Monday and i hope you all had a great weekend! 

So today i am going to be talking about a product which i have just recently fell in love with, I know there are probably many reviews on all the products i will ever speak about, but to be honest what i look for in make up is for it to be effortless, quick, does what it says on the tin and is not to pricey!
Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with spending s little extra on a top quality product, but for me i just find that its really not worth it, and i am sure alot of students or people like me that have moved away from there home country would agree!
Also i think i am only 21, i don't fully know what suits my face or what type of makeup look i really want to go with so buying expensive products for the short time i may use it really is not worth it for be, and also there are some amazing drug store alternatives out there and i plan on finding the best! 

So on my newest quest, i had been searching for a new blusher, i couldn't really find one that suited me, i still have baby fat cheeks and dimples so its hard to find something that looks OK when i am not smiling and just going about my business! 
And i also wanted to branch out from the usual pink that i would use, so i went into boots in westfield just before Christmas and though hey i look for one in here, i walked over to the sleek counter as i had heard my friend talk about how much she loves sleek eye-shadows, so i had a look at there blushes while she picked through the pallets!
And what i found was the most beautiful color i have ever seen in my life!
But,can we first all join together and appreciate sleek's packaging, i think its so well sleek ha!
It looks great inside my make up bag and considering the price it really does look like a high end product.
The sleek brand has some amazing formulas, and there blushers are so pigmented and they have some beautiful colors, but my favorite was the "Pomegranate" color!


It was an amazing color for winter and you literally only need a tiny amount on your brush and it comes out so beautiful on the cheek, 
The thing i liked most about this blusher was that it really did make it look like you had just been out in the show and you were all flushed, granted this color i think would look better on paler skin as i think it could look a bit weird to ware with dark makeup.
The best way i can describe it, is that it gives you a kind of Elsa form frozen glow! 
And i don't think i will be hitting pan on this blusher for a while, as the tiniest amount is just perfect!


I am definitely going to go back and add a few more to my collection in the not so distant future!


Lots of love

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser

Hey Everybody! 
So i hope everybody is having a good new year so far?

Today i wanted to talk about a product that i have been using for around a month now, which i am sure every person that has eyes and ears has heard about, but meh i wanted to insert my 2 pence as-well 

I must admit i have never had a proper skin care routine, i would tell myself that i was going to be good from now on and properly look after my skin, and a combination of tiredness after a day of running around a sheer laziness made my efforts futile, as i would revert back to my old ways in less then a month and be back to my old ways and moaning about my skin looking like crap! 
Now i don't have bad skin and i would be lying if i said i had any idea what my skin type was, but every now and then usually after a real week of being very naughty and by that i mean not removing all my make up before bed! I KNOW its a cardinal sin, and trust me when i say i paid for it afterword, i would get spots and dry skin and basically just look like i was really ill! 
I have used loads of other products from high end products to drug store cleansers and toners, to even getting some that was recommended on amazon, which smelled amazing but did nothing for my skin! 

So at the start of the new year i have vowed to look after my skin more and stick to it!
I have even roped in my boyfriend to give out to me if slip up!! That should be fun! 
So i went in search of something that would be quick and easy to use but would have amazing results, and after reading a far few reviews on this product i bit the bullet and purchased the sample bottle of the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser
I only purchased the small one because i wanted to test out the product before purchasing the full sized bottle, not because it is expensive but because i didn't want to waste money on a product when i was not sure it would work for my skin.

BOY was i wrong, this product is a miracle worker, Firstly the lovely please from Liz Earle sent me a free medium sized Cleanse & Polish and 2 muslin cloths!




The first reason i loved this product is because it was so easy and quick to use! 
Which if you have very little time and want to get to bed ASAP is amazing! 
You just rub the cream on your face and at the end sweep some across your eyes to avoid rubbing eye make up across your face, and then your rinse the cloth under some warm/hot water and rub the cream and make up off! It is that simple a literally takes 5 minutes of your evening! 
The smell is amazing and my face felt so clean after i used it, and my skin was so soft and also visibly more fresh and hydrated looking! 
And i know most people would be like there is no way you would see a visible result after one use, i don't blame you i used to be one of those people but this REALLY DID!! 

I have since repurchased a bigger bottle in a different sent to the original one and i am loving it so much!      


This product is perfect if your lazy but still want to look after your skin like me!
I would really recommend anybody who is reading this to just try the sample sizes of the product and you will never go back and that's a promise! 

Hopefully i will be doing more reviews of the products i find helpful being the lazy bugger that i am, i am on the hunt for product that are quick and easy but that do exactly what it says on the tin! 

Until then my lovelies!

Raayjaay!
