My New Everyday Eye Makeup... Naked!

Good evening ladies, not long 'til the weekend!

Before I start I have to say I totally nabbed this idea from the gorgeous Laura over at Buynowbloglater... great idea, I would have never tried this otherwise! So thankyou Laura! =)

This is my new every day eye make up using the UD Naked palette.

I wear this to the office but I think it still looks dressy enough to wear out after, perfect!

Naked over the lid and 'Buck' blended into the crease and outer V.

L-R - Urban Decay Naked & Buck from the Naked palette.

I'm also wearing Maybelline Falsies - black drama.

Benefit Bad Gal liner.

I hardly reach for my Naked palette which is shame because it's gorgeous.

Do you have a staple every day eye or do you switch it up?

It's from Aldo & it's called 'Gresset'

It's just a slouchy taupe every day bag that goes with everything & holds lots, as you will see!

Hot Cloth Cleansers - No.7 vs Liz Earle

Hi dolls ♥

Hot cloth cleansers are possibly my favourite skin care product discovery this year. These are the two that I've tried so far & I thought I'd share my opinions on them.

No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser & Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser.

No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser:

This is my new every day skincare product.

I use it every evening to remove my make up & to cleanse my face and I love it.

At a HUGE 200ml it's double the size of the Cleanse & Polish so I don't mind using it everyday because you get so much more product. I use 1 or 2 pumps depending on how much make up I'm wearing and this is plenty, I've had this for nearly 3 weeks now and as you can see from the top picture I've hardly used any! I must admit it smells alot more artificial than the Cleanse & Polish which I'm not a fan of, thumbs down No.7!

I bought this the last time the No.7 vouchers were doing the rounds which meant I only paid £4.00 for this, LOVE! It normally costs £9.00 which I still think is very reasonable considering how much product you get but I think I'll wait until the vouchers are knocking around again & stock up!

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish:

This was the first hot cloth cleanser & infact Liz Earle product I tried and it was love at first sight (or use!)
No other product has ever made my skin feel as fresh & clean as this product. I used to use this every morning & evening but now I've discovered the No.7 version I use this every couple of days as a treat.
I hope you can see from the picture that this product is alot thicker than the No.7 version which I find makes me use much less, one pump goes a long way! Cleanse and Polish smells ALOT nicer than the No.7 product, it smells 'natural' if that makes sense?!
For £13.00 you get 100ml of product & 2 muslin cloths which I do think is very good value and there isn't that much difference if you are paying full price for the No.7 product, this is why I will only buy the No.7 product when using the vouchers.
Overall I would have to say I prefer the Liz Earle version but I would certainly recommend the No.7 cleanser for a cheaper alternative, especially when using a voucher!
One thing I would recommend is even if you are going to choose the No.7 version I would pick up some Liz Earle muslin cloths. They are a million times better quality than the one No.7 ones and I think they really make a difference.
Have you tried any hot cloth cleansers, if so what are your favourites?
