Review: Sanctuary Polishing Hot Cloth Cleanser

Sanctuary Hot Cloth Cleanser

I bought this quite a while ago but I've only recently started using it, having heard everyone raving about the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish I'd been wanting to try a hot cloth cleanser and as Debenhams were having one of thier many sales I picked up this Sanctuary one.
After a nice hot bath I place the cloth in hot water and place it over my face for 30 seconds then massage the cleanser onto my face before using the wet cloth in circular motions over my skin to polish away the cleanser and leave my skin super soft. 
The cleanser is very creamy but doesn't feel too heavy so it comes off very easily and quickly, I'm not overly keen on the smell but it's not too strong so it doesn't put me off it. The cloth is great for me as it's slightly abrasive so it exfoliates and removes all traces of the cleanser, I'm not sure how well it would remove make-up as I always remove my make-up before going in the bath but my skin felt very clean after I'd finished and my skin tone looked a little more even which is great as I've been getting some red patches in certain areas.
 I probably wouldn't recommend this for people with dry or sensitive skin as the cloth would probably be too harsh and even my combination skin feels quite tight after I've used this but as soon as I've applied my moisturiser my skin feels really soft and refreshed. 
I've been using it about twice a week and really love how it leaves my skin so I'll probably buy this again when it runs out which should take a while as the tube is pretty big and a grape sized blob is more than enough for each use

Sunday Summary

Went out for lunch, The Carrot Re-usable bubble bar, Mini Cornetto for breakfast, Epic lunch break in Druckers, Macarons, Fuel.

This week has been really exhausting I've had loads of overtime at work due to it being mega week in Debenhams so there was 25% off everything in my department and people went nuts it was nearly as bad as Christmas. Yesterday I worked from 7am until half 4 so by the time I got home I was too tired to post my 100 day challenge so I'll post it next saturday, I'm not sure if I'll get much chance to blog this week as I have even more overtime and am in work everyday until Sunday but I'm hoping to post a couple of reviews.

Review: MUA Undressed Primer


A couple of weeks ago I began to run out of my Rimmel Fix And Perfect Primer and to be honest I wasn't really liking it very much as it was a little bit sticky and I think it was making me break out a little so when I saw this new MUA primer I thought I'd give it a try. 
I did try MUA's original primer and absolutely hated it, it was runny and greasy so really didn't suit my combination skin, but this claimed to have a velvety texture which would be better suited to my skin.
Lets start with the one thing that I really dislike about this primer and that would be the packaging, when I was buying the primer I noticed that quite a few of the bottles had leaked but I thought it was due to people testing them out but after I used it for the first time I put in my make and it leaked quite a lot so I've since had to make sure I keep the bottle upright. The bottle itself is also glass so it's not great if you plan on taking it on holiday as it could easily get broken.
Now to the primer itself, I was much more impressed with this than I thought I'd be the texture is very light and velvety so it glides easily over the skin and gives a pretty smooth base for my foundation and keeps it in place all day. It is really similar to the 17 Photoflawless primer I used to love but a little more fluid and it's already lasting a lot longer than the 17 primer.
I will be repurchasing this as it's a lot better for my skin than the Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer and is great value for money I just wish they would improve the packaging.
