Few days ago I posted a general post on Liz Earle products.

This time I will go on details.

This is the second step of Liz Earle Skin Care Line,

After washing your face with Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Muslin Cleanser  or which cleanser you are using.

I use this after Hot Muslin Cleanser,

It has herbal extracts, like rose & aloe vera

All you need to do is pour some toner on the cotton and swipe your face

The Picture below you see is taken after washing my hand with Liz Earle Hot Muslin Cleanser and than I applied toner ….

 

The reason I used on my hand,  On the day I took these pictures I was very busy with doing eye shadow swatches, and my hand was in a mess.

 

it would be more ideal to show you the effect on a small part of skin rather than whole face.

So If you are asking what makes Liz Earle Skin Toner different than other toners on the market.

 

1- most of the toners are oily even the non oily ones contains a bit of oil. and if you are suffering from  oily – combination skin it will not help you , but it will make your skin more oily based than ever

2- Also you can use this toner as an eye make up remover, you will not need to use an eye make up remover after you use hot cleanser but sometimes mascaras and eye liners can stay and it will remove them.

Oily based eye make up removers, oil stays on your lids and after a while with the help of your heart beats it will move to your eye area, and it will fill your under eye skin cells, and it will avoid your skin to breathe , and you will have more darker eyes and big circles.

3- It is not an alcohol based toner, as alcohol based toners not only helps you to get rid of your oily skin, it kills oil cells on your skin… Imagine you clean your face with surgical alcohol, all you  can feel will be a very tight skin like you just had a plastic surgery.

4- It is not gel based it is a liquid based toner, so it is lighter than the other toners.

5- I sometimes feel irritation on my skin at nights, and I woke up from my sleep and I just clean my face once more with this toner, because I know my self I do not relax my skin, i will be playing with my skin all night

and the next morning my face will look like i had big fight, full of nail marks..

6- When I was a young girl I had a very oily skin, we did not have natural skin care lines at those times., I have been given alcohol based skin care line, after few years it dried my skin, and I suffered from very dry skin..  after long self skin treatment It turned back to normal. I much prefer to have an oily rather than having a dry skin…  The products I used when I was young were from High Street Brands, and  it is selling good…

All those companies will sell good, because most of the women does not know their skin type, what kind of products they need..  And of course a sales person’s job is to sell the product… They sell it to use..

That's how those brands are still standing and best selling

7- You need to follow your skin care regulation other wise even the most expensive caviar cream will not work..

8- You need to have big patience, you might not see any changes immediately, this is not magic girls…Rome was not build in one day

9- I think it has poppy also in the ingredients I can smell it.. also it is paraben free

10- Whether you do make up or not your skin needs cleanse, toning and moistening.

11- I live quite close to LHR even on the days that I do not put on my make up when I clean my face I see how dirty it is ..air pollution affects our skin as well. 

12- It is in a 200 ml Twist Off Bottle for £11.50  , it also available 3 x200 ml bottle for £31.50, it also has a  spritzer in a pump spray bottle 200 ml for £11.75 200ml Toner and 30ml Spritzer is for £15.73

 

My personal opinion I think it deserves a chance to try this toner…

This eye shadow trio set is not bad if we consider the price, it lasts longer when applied wet.

You just need to apply with a heavy hand if you are using it dry other wise it is a bit difficult to get the colour on your eyes

 

It is small enough to carry in a purse and give some touch ups if you need to. I did not use any primer when I am swatching

 

this eye shadow trio is based on 3 earthy shades and it is an ideal eye shadow trio who prefers natural make up

 

while dark brown is looks more matte the other 2 shades or more iridescent

the middle shade reminded me MAC wood winked and tempting

 

It says it stays up to 8 hrs but  I did not see it stayed that long on my eyes maybe because I did not use any primer or because I can not stay tight and I always touch my eyes or play with my hair, could be because I have oily lids..  many reasons. It does not mean it will not stay long on your eyes because it does not stay on mine..

 

If I am wrong boots website started to send products internationally so if you are living outside the UK you can buy it online…

this is a wonderful creamy finish nail polish

you can wear it up to 3 days with only patch working the tips…

I wear it 3 coats, you do not need to apply 3 coats only 2 coats will be enough but i like it really deep and dark.

Even without a top coat it is quite shinny, but it is recommended to wear a top coat on dark polishes because after a day it will need a patch work on the tips

 

I have taken this photo after 2 days of wearing..

 

I do like dark polishes but removing them is so messy Sad smile

LO-FI: SPRING/SUMMER 2011


OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS is proud to present our S/S 2011 Colour Collection, OCC LO-FI. A polarizing reaction to the HD makeup craze, OCC encourages makeup artists and enthusiasts alike to shrug off the scrutiny and bring it back to basics, with a palette of resolute shades that bring rack focus back to the wearer. This selection six new Lip Tars, Loose Colours and Nail Lacquers does just that, in a strong and fearless fashion.

The collection reflects S/S 2011 runways trends that featured either sharply defined eyes and neutral lips, or bold, bright lips and barely-there washes of colour on the eyes. Colours from this collection were born backstage at Spring 2011 collections for designers including Diego Binetti, Eva Minge, Althea Harper and Mik Cire during New York Fashion Week. With a shade spectrum this bold, the colour combinations you can create are endless.
