These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things | June Favourites

Hello my lovelies, I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Me & the boyfriend went to the cinema last night & saw 'The Five Year Engagement' and it was rubbish! It was far too long & is certainly one for watching n DVD and not wasting £20 in the cinema!

I can't believe it's time for my June favourites, this time last month I was excited to be going on holiday. How time flies! Here is what I've been loving this month...
 Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Iced Gold | MUA Lip Balm Sweet Kiss | Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion | Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish | Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Décolleté
L-R | MUA Lip Balm Sweet Kiss & Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Iced Gold

Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow 'Iced Gold' - I bought this product well over 6 months ago and had never really used it before this month. I've been using it as a highlight on the cheekbones and it just adds a lovely natural glow to my tan. I also find this easier to use than a liquid highlight because it comes in a solid compact with a large mirror, perfect for travelling. 

MUA Lip Balm 'Sweet Kiss' -  My local Superdrug only started stocking the MUA professional range a couple of weeks ago & I was so excited when I saw the new stand! I'd heard a lot of good things about these lip balms & I was not disappointed. This lip Balm provides a lovely sheer wash of colour &  at the same time feels like it's really moisturising my lips. I'm certainly going to pick up the other shades in the range.

Victoria's Secret Body Fragrance Mist 'Coconut Passion' - I picked this up in duty free before my holiday and have pretty much used it every day since. It's perfect for using on the beach, in the gym or just for every day use & it smells delicious. I can't wait for the Vicoria's Secret store to open in London so I can pick up more from the range.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - I can't count how many bottles of this I've bought & it doesn't matter how many other cleansers I try I always come back to this old favourite. If I'm having a particularly bad skin day/week I know nothing else will help my skin like Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. I'm never without a bottle of this & if you haven't tried it yet I cannot recommend it enough, buy it now!

Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Décolleté - I know I mentioned this in my May favourites but this is still a firm favourite of mine & I've used it for the whole of June. I've got a lovely tan on my body from Turkey but was very cautious of burning my face so slapped a high SPF on my face. I use this every couple of days & it just leaves a lovely natural tan that matches my body. i recently posted a full review of this that you can read by clicking here. 

So there we go, my June favourites! I can't believe we're more than half way through the year now, where's the time going?!

I'd love to know what your June favourites are, what have you been loving this month?

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?
