Hello sorry for my absence.  I thought I’d return with a little post about skin care as I have had somewhat of an epiphany!  No longer do I look upon skin care as a daily chore which has to be done into something which excites me and has me reaching  for the cotton pads every morning and night (sometimes)…

The reason for this revelation was due in part to my receiving a Biotherm skin care set for Christmas which I love and from reading A Model Recommends which is packed full of skin care reviews, ideas and niche/new brands.  Following on from this I thought instead of spending a few £s on make up I decided to indulge in a new cleanser; after much deliberation and pondering around ASOS, Feel Unique etc… I settled upon a cleansing oil as it had received good reviews and it was reasonably priced.

The image above is the set I received for Christmas which contained a cream facial wash, softening water (I adore this) and a luxurious moisturiser all formulated for dry skin which I was at the time.  I have noticed this morning though that my once parched skin was now a little more greasy but still in need of moisture; I hope the cleanser I have ordered will be suitable.  Off track there slightly this is what I ordered:

The woman behind this brand is Maria Hatzistefanis the creator behind the global wonder high end skin care brand Rodial so I thought I have never used this brand but I am sure that Maria Hatzistefanis knows what she is doing no doubt!

Here is the blurb regarding the product:

2-in-1 cleanser + makeup remover that sweeps away daily dirt +  grime, even stubborn mascara + maintains the skin’s  natural moisture balance.

This multi-purpose 2-in-1 cleanser and make-up remover will gently remove daily dirt and grime and all traces of make-up – so effective it will even remove stubborn mascara. Enriched with skin caring essential oils including neroli oil to soften and rejuvenate the skin and calming mandarin for its purifying, decongesting properties, this hypoallergenic and non–comedogenic oil will cleanse without disrupting the skin’s natural balance.

• gentle oils cleanse + remove makeup

• neroli softens + rejuvenates

• mandarinpurifies + decongests

I don’t know about you but this sounds good to me and I must admit I am very excited about receiving this product.  I ordered mine form ASOS for around £10 and the free super saver delivery.  I have to admit I was a little peeved as ASOS announced free next day delivery offer the day after I had placed my order but hey ho!

You apply the product to your face add some warm water to emulsify the oil and rinse, I would also be curious to see if it would work by just applying and removing with a cotton pad.

We’ll see and I will be sure to let you know how I get on…
