Product Review: Primark's Hot Cloth Cleanser.

Hey guys long time no blog eh!? Sorry I was M.I.A. for the month of may I was having a bit of bloggers block, but it's a new month so new me right?...

Today's blog post is on the Penneys/Primark hot cloth facial cleanser. I've never used a hot cloth cleanser before and I've been dying to try one out and when I saw one in Penneys I had to pick it up. I've been trialing it for a month now so I feel I can give ye a good review on the product.

The Product

Lads, Penneys have been upping their game when it comes to cosmetics, like a hot cloth cleanser a few years back would be total notions. First off the price is very reasonable. You get 150ml for €6 which is a fair amount compared to other brands. The popular hot cloth facial brand Liz Earle comes in at €19 in boots for only just 100ml of product and No7 comes in at €14. I haven't tried these but it is said that the Penneys one is a good dupe for the No7 hot cloth cleanser. I'm a beauty bargain hunter and when I hear the word dupe I'm all over it. Ingredients wise it has cocoa butter jojoba oil grape seed oil and vitamin e. All these ingredients help to give a brighter complexion. This is a very oil rich cleanser that is said to break down make up and well as soften the skin.

My thoughts

At first I was scared to use it as I'm oily AF but my skin loved it.  My skin looked brighter and felt softer but most of all it actually felt clean. I was pleasantly surprised by this because it is a thick cleanser packed full of oil. To use it I take a €2 size amount of the cleanser and massage it into my face, I'm so heavy handed with it but still after a month I have over have the tube left. Next I get a hot damp face cloth and I lightly sweep it around my face. This gives me a light exfoliation which I love. This has now made it into my skincare routine as a twice a week treat when my skin is feeling tight from spot treatments. I am definitely going to repurchase this if i ever get through my current tube.

So all in all this is a great cleanser. It's kind of making me want to buy other hot cloth cleansers now. I'm excited to see what Penneys brings out next. If you have any questions on this cleanser leave a comment below.

Product Review: L'Oréal Pure Clay Glow Scrub

Hey guys! First off I just want to apologise for the lack of activity on my blog with the last 2 weeks. As a lot of you may know, we got a little puppy. Little Ellie is settling in perfectly but has taken up all my spare time! I'm writing this post while she sleeps. I'm not used to motherhood at all. With that being said I have a product review for ye today. It's from L'Oréal's new cleanser/scrub clay range. 

Previously L'Oréal came out with their clay masks that are very popular and affordable, now they have a range or cleansers, exfoliaters and wipes. I picked up the glow scrub as I used the mask version and I loved the results and I was also In the market for a new exfoliater. I got mine I'm boots for €7.99 for 150ml.

You use it like any normal cleanser/exfoliater, if you need instructions then shame on you! It's a red terracotta colour and creamy texture with an exfoliant added in. It's made up of 3 different clays to help absorb oils and brighten the skin. It smells just like the mask which is a pleasent light fragrance that didn't irritate my skin. There is 150ml of product In each tube which is great value for money as I feel a tube will last me ages.

Results?.. I love it! I bought it 3 weeks ago, used it religiously and I love how my skin looked and felt after each use but I can also see the long term effects. My skins pigmentation is more even, especially in my cheek area where I'd have blemishes left over from old spots. In my opinion it's not the most scrubiest exfoliater in the world but it does the job all the same and since it's not too harsh of a scrub it's perfect for those sensitive souls out there. One bit of advice I'd give when using it is make sure you use dark coloured towels when drying your face. I had a lovely white towel covered in reminants of red glow scrub and a very annoyed partner after the first time I used it. All jokes aside i would reccomend this scrub highly.

As this post goes up I have a facebook competition going on and this L'Oréal glow scrub is in my giveaway. The link is here to enter. (competition ends 17/02/2017)
