A Bittersweet Week

I no i haven't posted that much this week but thats because this week has seriously been like an emotional roller coaster for me and I've trying to been dealing with everything in my own way.

I started the week with having to say goodbye to a friend who i was good friends with at school, he got diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2012 and sadly last week he lost his battle at just 23. Its was such a surreal experience going to a funeral of someone so young and the amount of people that turned up was over whelming. It was bitter sweet seeing everyone from school who i hadn't seen in ages and I've decided i need to make more of an effort to see people from school and catch up as you never know whats just around the corner.

On a brighter side my friends Jade and Freddy welcomed their beautiful baby boy Noah into the world.. finally, he was a week late and weighed 7.1lbs. He is sooooo cute and was luckily enough to go round and see mum and baby yesterday and have cuddles with Noah.

Its been my weekend off work this weekend and mum suggest we go and have a mooch round Milton Keynes which only means one thing in my head... MAKEUP!!!! We don't have very good counters where i live so have to make the most of it when we go over to MK heres what i got.

The Bobbi Brown lipstick and the YSL pink toned quad is actually my mums but i thought they were so pretty i had to share them with you. I will do a review on my YSL quad when i have used it a bit and experimented a little. At first sight i love all of the things i got I'm interested in experimenting with pigments more and as I'm going to London on tuesday i may treat myself to some more.

Have you used of these things? Any tips on pigments? Let me know.

No7 Beautiful Skin - Hot Cloth Cleanser

I love using a hot cloth cleanser, i love the way it feels on your face and my all time favourite is Liz Earl cleanse and polish which i no a lot of beauty bloggers also rave about.
Well i had come to the end of my bottle which is very sad and where i live we don't have a Liz Earl counter booo :( so i had planned to order another offline but last sunday i went for a mooch round boots (as you do) and came along this No7 hot cloth cleanser which was only £9.95 and i had a £5 off voucher which made it only £4.95 so i just had to get it and try it out BARGIN ALERT!!!

So for anyone who's not familiar with a hot cloth cleanser you put some on your face then use your fingers to circulate it round your face all round and over you eyes and end up looking like a panda from your mascara ha then you put a muslim cloth in hot water and gently remove the cleanser from your face which will cleanse and remove your make up at the same time. Genius.

First thing i noticed on opening this is how big the bottle was 200ml is quite big and all for the bargain price of £4.95 i couldn't believe it. I like its a pump bottle then you can manage how much you need easily. I also like the way its see through ask you no when your about to run out and can make sure your prepared to have some more.

As you can see from the picture one pump gives you quite a lot of product and its defiantly enough to use on your whole face. In texture it feels really hydrating maybe a little bit oily in fact.
its really easy to make just the one pump spread all over your face and removes eye make up so easy. Leaves the skin feeling so refreshed.

I recon this is a great alternative to Liz Earls Cleanse and Polish and i will be using it all up before deciding whether repurchase or go back to my lovely faithful cleanse and polish. Also the price tag is a lot friendlier and with a No7 voucher its even better my advice is get a voucher and go and grab one now!
