Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

Hi beauts, 

I was given Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser for Christmas - what a brilliant gift huh! It's the limited edition a Winter Rose which contains Rose and Cedarwood and retails at £23.50. Read my thoughts on it below…

Liz Earle Packaging 

As you know I’m a sucker for packaging. Liz Earle’s isn’t the cutest around but its certainly got a feeling of luxury and quality. 

The cleanser comes in a thick cardboard tube with two cotton cloths to use with the cleanser. I like the design of the rose and cedarwood wreath too – clean and crisp product and packaging design.

Liz Earle Product Quality

The Hot Cloth Cleanser boasts naturally active ingredients with cocoa butter, rosemary and chamomile and it shows.

I was surprised how deliciously rich and creamy it is and love its floral scent. It smells gorgeous and feel luxurious to use.

I also love that I can apply it to dry skin and how easily it removes makeup.

Simply apply two pumps of the cleanser to dry skin, rub in and then use the pure cotton cloth in hot water to wipe away. 

The circular motions and slight exfoliation of the cloth makes it incredibly easy to remove make up – even mascara. I was shocked by how easy it was to remove without irritating my skin. What’s even better is it’s perfect for all skin types.

Liz Earle Review

I would definitely buy Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser again and have been using it far more than the Micellar Water which is usually my go to quick makeup remover.

Naturally the Liz Earle Cleanser takes a little more time to use as you need to wait for the water to get hot etc but I prefer using it now as it actually removes ALL my makeup. 

Sometimes I find the Micellar Water can just push my makeup across my face rather than actually remove it!

Soft on my skin, removes all my make up and totally worth the money.

Product Review: Mama Mio The Tummy Rub Butter

Happy New Year! 

It's our first week back and I'm desperate to start sharing some of my thoughts on pregnancy products I've been trying out over the past few months. 

One of my favourites has to be Mama Mio's The Tummy Rub Butter. I started using it around 6 weeks ago. I'd currently been using Boots Stretch Mark Oil Spray which works a treat too. 

The Tummy Rub Butter is fair pricey but as I'd been gifted it by family it was a glorious treat as I started to get bigger... and bigger. 

Mama Mio Packaging 

As a more luxury skincare brand their packaging really attracts the eye. I love the bright pinks and the quality of product presentation. 

Mama Mio Pricing 

The Tummy Rub Butter is certainly not cheap. It retails at £23.50 for a 120g tub and after 6 weeks of use on my chest, hips and bump I'm more than half way through the tub already. If I followed their recommended application amount of twice a day it would already be finished. However, it is a luxury item and does feel like a treat to use rather than just another baby bump chore. 

Mama Mio Product Quality 

The ingredients are high quality. Mama Mio use 'Omega-packed organic oils in an organic Shea Butter base'. That's a combination of organic coconut, avocado and shea. They're free from parabens, petrolatum, colourants, xenoestrogens, PEGs and phthalates and cruelty-free too. 




The thick white cream feel luxurious too. it's easy to rub in and dissolves in the skin quickly- perfect when I was applying just before bed as I could hop straight under the covers without waiting around to dry! 

The smell is delicious and one of the things that make this product feel are luxurious as it is. It's a subtle creamy and refreshing scent that you just don't get with basic oils. I loved going to bed smelling great. 

Mama Mio The Tummy Rub Butter Results 

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I still don't have one stretch mark! I've been applying The Tummy Rub daily + whenever I get an itchy bump and it seems to be doing the trick. 

The Round Up

• An Expensive 9 month habit - I'd only start to use this product in the late 2nd and 3rd trimesters when your bump really starts to grow
  
  
• An added boost of luxury when you're feeling extremely pregnant - helped turn nightly bump maintenance into a more pampering experience
  
  
• After 6 weeks it has worked for me - I'm pleased to report that at 30 weeks pregnant I'm yet to have a single stretch mark. I've loved using The Tummy Rub Butter and have actually been given another tub ready for my last few months so I'll update you of the final result when it comes!

Love
