Review | Ultrabland by Lush

I have been dying to get my hands on this product for ages and I finally popped into a Lush store and got it. I’m trying to be good to my skin and to do that I need to start off with a good cleanser. If you haven’t heard of Ultrabland, it is made by the lovely people at Lush and is based on an old Greek formula for cold cream. It is fuelled with some amazing elements like almond oil, rose water, beeswax and honey. When applied to the skin the texture goes a bit oily and it will cling to any dirt or make up on the skin and remove it without any hassle.

You can use cotton pads or a warm flannel to remove it and personally I prefer a warm flannel because it gives my face a good deep cleanse! I started using it over 2 weeks ago and I am really seeing some good results!! My skin feels so soft and a lot of the dry patches have disappeared, I reckon if I use it for another 2 weeks the dry patches will be completely gone. I actually find it quicker to use Ultrabland to take off my make up than make up wipes or micellar water. It felt like a total chore taking off my make up after a long shift and I’d end up leaving it on, now that I’m using Ultrabland it is a joy to take my make up off! I have been using generous amounts on my face for over 2 weeks and there is still so much left, for a 45g pot at £7.25 it is definitely worth every penny. I can’t picture my life without it now, it has impressed me that much!!

What cleanser do you swear by?

Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water

I’m on the look out for a quick and easy cleanser that won’t have a bad effect on my face, so I’m putting Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water to the test. I have been dying to try this for so long and today my mother spotted it on offer in Boots and bought it! I currently use Simple make up wipes and as much as I love that brand, I just hate the thought of using wipes. Garnier state on the bottle that the cleanser will give you “perfectly cleansed and refreshed skin without rubbing or rinsing”, so lets see if it true!

Today I had a full face of make up on, including some stubborn glitter eye liner and a good bit of mascara, so I knew I had a good face on for testing this cleanser. I started with my foundation and it came off with such ease. It only took one cotton pad to get all of the foundation off and I used a second one in case I missed a bit and that was pretty much clear! I moved on to my eye make up and I held a cotton pad up to my eye to soften the product on my lashes & lids. I was so amazed when most of my eye make up came off!! The cleanser basically transferred the make up from my eyes onto the cotton pad. I was left with very little work on my eye, just a bit of mascara to wipe off.

My skin feels so soft and there isn’t a single bit of irritation. This product has no perfume and is hypo-allergenic so it can be used by pretty much everyone! In comparison to another Garnier make up remover this is a million times better. The previous remover was greasy and wasn’t very nice on the eyes. The Micellar Cleansing Water is so refreshing and it leaves your skin feeling so soft and clean. Its handy that you don’t need to rinse it off, so if you’ve had a late night it won’t keep you from your beauty sleep for too long! If you take a look at the picture above you will see that every spec of my make up was removed 🙂 I’m super impressed with this product!!! It is definitely worth the pennies especially as it lasts 200 uses so you won’t need to buy a cleaners as often 😀

I would definitely recommend you head out and buy this product!! Throw away your wipes and your time consuming cleansers and get Garnier’s Micellar Cleansing Water in your life!!!

It is currently available in all major retailers and is priced at £4.99

October Wishlist | Birthday Month!!!

My birthday is just under a month away *hint hint* so I thought it might be a good time to make my first wishlist! I see something I want on a daily basis, you can only imagine what I’d be like if I had an unlimited source of money

1). Lush; Ultrabland Cleanser: Since the Bbloggers meet up last month I have been dying to get back to Lush and buy a pot of this stuff!!! A lovely girl tested it out on my hand and the smell and texture of it was so lovely. If I had money on me at the moment in time I would’ve bought a huge tub of it!

 

2). Boots, New Look: I love boots but I never really thought they suited me! I couldn’t care less any more, they are pretty therefore I must have them! These are all from New Look and I’m drooling picturing them with a fab pair of skinny jeans and a pretty winter coat! One more thing……..THEY ARE SO ME!!!!

 

3).  Some form of a cleansing brush: I don’t care if its cheap as chips as long as I can have one!! Magnitone are depressing me on Twitter at the moment talking about their latest cleansing brush the Magnitone Lucid. Like I said I’m not fussed about brands I would love a cleansing brush to help me with my terrible skin 😦

 

 4). Silver Tone Draped Chain Collar Necklace, River Island: How cute is this necklace!! I am so in love with statement chains and this chain is perfect for those times you want add a touch of smart to your outfit (in an uber cool way!)

5). Cute stud earrings, Topshop: I love cute and quirky studs! My collection is huge and I love adding to it. Mixing and matching all the different studs is so much fun! These earrings scream rock and roll 😀

 

What’s on your wishlist for October?
