Product Love- Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Hello Lovelies!





How are y'all?

Im a massive fan of Clarins, their skincare products seem to work really well with my skin

I have been using the Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser the past 3months and I thought it was high time I shared my thoughts

Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

A one-step wonder. Remove make-up, gently cleanse, exfoliate and remove impurities in one action with the Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, all the while respecting the skin's natural balance. Tones, revives, and detoxifies for fresh, glowing skin. An essential product for those on the go!

• Gentle cleansing agents remove makeup and thoroughly cleanse.
• Moringa seed extract detoxifies by removing the residue and neutralising the effects of toxic air-pollution
• Orange extract refreshes, tones, revives
• Two types of microbeads clear pores and polish away unwanted surface oils and dead skin cells

                                             How to Use

Dispense into hand and warm between palms. Massage onto dampened skin and work into a lather, exfoliating all parts of the face whilst avoiding the delicate eye area. Rinse well with warm water

                                                       Skin type suitability.

                                              They claim its suitable for All skintypes

If you have dry or sensitive skin you may want to get a sample because it does have some sort of fruit/sweet like scent

           

                                                                                  

                                                       My thoughts

This cleanser is lovely. My skin is normal combination (oily t-zone and normal to dry cheeks) and this works well. It didnt irritate my skin or break me out. Although Clarins claim that it can be used everyday I wouldnt suggest that as exfoliating on a daily basis with this particular cleanser may dry out the skin. I tend to use it every 2 or 3 days bacause thats how my skin copes with it. The Clarins One step cleanser smells quite lovely and refreshing probably because it contains Moringa and Orange extract. It gently exfoliates and leaves my skin soft and clean without being harsh on the skin. It brightens up my skin whenever Im looking rather dull. I love that it does what it claims to do and leaves me with smooth and glowy skin. 

                                Would I buy again&recommend?

YES I will definitely repurchase as this cleanser does deliver. If you looking for a great exfoliating cleanser that gives glowing smooth skin then you may want to check this next time you pass a  Clarins counter. The SA at Clarins counters are always friendly,helpful&generous with samples that you can take home and try before you commit to purchase full size. At 20quid for a cleanser it may seem rather pricey but a little does go a long way, My tube will probably last me till end of April so that means a tube will last you a good 3-4 months which is not bad in my opinion

                                              Price&Availability

Available at all Clarins counters&Clarins website, Boots, John Lewis,Debenhams, House of Fraser, Selfridges, Escentual etc and you get a tube of 125ml for £20.00 depending on where you purchase

                                               Have you tried this ?

                   Whats your favourite Exfoliator/Exfoliating Cleanser?

 

                                              

                                            Have a brilliant week

                                            Stay Beautiful&Blessed

                                            Much Love

                                             Sharon x

                                               

Empties Part 1

Hello Lovelies!




How have y'all been?

I have just realised I have never done an Empties post before.I love seeing posts and videos from fellow bloggers and youtubers  about products they have finished. I think its such a fun thing to do since we always show what we have bought why not show off the products that we have loved and finished? In most cases I tend to pass on products that I dislike and dont work for me to family&friends. Anyways I already have 5 empties posts lined up for you guys, I decided to split them so that I dont overwhelm you with one post lol

Clarins Daily Energizer Cream for Normal/ Dry Skin

Ensure that your skin feels supple and hydrated with the Clarins Daily Energizer Cream, a radiance-boosting cream for dry to normal skin.This luxurious, thick formulation is ideal for those with drier skin types, delivering targeted and intense hydration to the complexion. Skin if left feeling exceptionally soft and supple, and perfectly prepped for makeup application.With its energising dose of Vitamin C and Alchemilla, minor imperfections are reduced and skin is more even and perfected. Microcirculation in the face is boosted, making for a glowing complexion.Apply to the face and neck following an application of the Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster in the morning, and after cleansing in the evening. Recommended for women in their 20's

Ingredients: Vitamin C, Alchemilla, and Turmeric Extracts reduce minor imperfections and Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract which boosts microcirculation

*Winner of Best Everyday Moisturiser- Red Best of Beauty Awards 2012

*Winner of Best Day Cream- Elle Beauty Awards 2011
- I tend to go for all products that claim to energize,brighten or give some sort of glow. I have been using this Clarins Daily Energizer  cream on/off for 3years and I love it. I always try other moisturisers but always come back. The smell is quite lovely and refreshing something apricot/citrus like I cant quite figure it ha!.. It makes my skin soft and hydrated, while being light enough and a good base for make-up. Its very light and non greasy on my normal/combo skin and another good thing is it doesnt clog pores. I think it also helps keep my skin blemish free and brightens up my complexion so I never look dull when Im using it. As with all products some people may break out due to the scent it has so I recommend getting samples if you have sensitive skin



                        Lancome Mousse Eclat Self Foaming Cleanser
Lancôme's Mousse Éclat foam activates with water to create an effective cleanser formulated with natural active ingredients to help exfoliate the skin, while preserving its youthful radiance. Its fresh formula gently cleanses away make–up and impurities to clarify the complexion, leaving your skin soft, radiant and healthy looking, and is suitable for normal to combination skin types.
- I really do love this cleanser I never had bad skin when I used it the whole of 2012. I wouldnt reach for it during winter months though as it can be a little drying but for the warmer months it perfect for me. I have a review of it it Here. Will be repurchasing when I have used up other cleansers Im currently using

 
                                  Habibi Organic Vanilla&Jasmine Body Balm

Indian Jasmine is blended with Tahitian Vanilla and Vanilla Bean, to create this intoxicating fragrance. Its blended with our Ultra emolient body balm formula to leave you soft and scented from Head to Toe

DIRECTIONS- Apply anywhere on the body in need of moisture

Not for use on face!

INGREDIENTS

*Organic Raw Shea Butter

*Organic Raw Honey

*Organic Coconut Oil

*Organic Jasmine Petal Oil

*Organic Tahitian Vanilla Oil

*Organic Vanilla Bean Oil

*Organic Grapeseed Oil

*Organic Sesame Oil

*Rosewater

Organic Essential oils of Lavender, Chamomile, Vitamin E. Fragrance

-I really love this body balm its the best I have used to date. I have the ever so beautiful,friendly&helpful  Shahada  to thank for this one. She is one of my favourite bloggers/Makeup Artist ever. Need I say more you guys need to check her out if you havent. Back to the Body Balm -Not only does it smell divine but it leave my skin soft,supple and radiant and smelling delish. I really need more of this stuff hehe. 

Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Red Plum&Freesia  Smoothing Body Scrub

-A passionate romance of succulent red plum and sweet freesia.
Experience the luxury of fragrant cleansing. Dual-action sugar scrub gently exfoliates as it purifies. Lather on wet skin, focusing on rough spots, then rinse off for an all-over glow. Skin feels soft, smooth and touchable. I really like Victoria Secrets (who doesnt?) and I could literally live in that store everyday lol. I do love this scrub,it smells lovely and does the job so whats not to love



Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

Rub Rub Rub is a bit of a variation on the normal shower gel. For one, it’s so thick we put it into a tub for handy scooping in the shower. Secondly, it’s a bright blue, supremely softening, exfoliating sea salt shower scrub to revive your skin. Sea salt is extra cleansing, mineral-rich and softening for the hair and body; you can even use it as a shampoo. Our rubby scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossoms for a light, blossom-scented wash and smoother skin

* Ingredients- Mineral Rich sea salt and Organic Lemon Juice

*Smells lovely because it has mimosa, jasmine and orange flower blossom absolutes

- This is a really good scrub,Lush has never disappointed me with their products. Rub Rub Rub is very cooling on the skin. The smell is quite refreshing/masculine like and makes my skin really soft after every use. I have also used it in my hair and it was just as good. I use this most Sundays when Im pampering myself with masks and all that. If you looking for a body scrub I would recommend giving this a go next time you pop into a Lush store

WHAT PRODUCTS HAVE YOU FINISHED

HAVE YOU GOT AN EMPTIES POST&LINKS TO THEM?

Have a great week

Stay Beautiful &Blessed

I loved the Mini facial, made my skin glow without makeup here is to hoping I win lotto and purchase all the products from BLANC DE LA MER range haha. I also requested sample of the  Moisturising Soft cream which launched last year as the Original Creme De La Mer can be too thick for my liking and everyday use. 

The other two samples are the newly launched Clarins Double serum Complete Age Total Concentrate
