No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

So I got this skincare set from my Nan (so thanks Nan aha!) Which was full of No7 skincare and, of course, I was eager to try! The first product is the Beautiful Skin, Hot Cloth Cleanser, I tried this one first as I have never used a cleanser before so I wanted to see if it made my skin any different. This product was created to provide your skin with a healthy, bright and beautiful look.

The one I have is a mini because it came in a set, normally the bottle is has 200ml worth of cleanser and you also get a exfoliating muslin cloth. This is used to removes dead skin cells and daily grime that builds up on your face. 

There is a specific routine to use the cleanser and the cloth, though you don't have to follow it, but No7 say that this method gives you the best results. So first you gently massage the product over dry skin in upward circular motions. Then take the muslin cloth and make it wet it hot water at a heat that's comfortable for you wring out the water and then place the cloth over your face. This is so your pores open up, and leave this for a few minutes. Next you use the cloth to polish of the cleanser in circular motions. Finish with splashing your face with cool water to close your pores and then dry. 

 I find it so easy to use the cleanser has a thick and soft texture to it which feels really nice to place over your face. There is a nice smell which isn't too strong and is light, very spa like. For the amount you have to place on your face I only use one to one and a half of a pump, and for using this product for over a month there is loads left in the bottle. So if you were to buy the full sized bottle it would last you for a life time! 

I did try using the cleanser without the cloth but I feel that you need to use this because the thick and creaminess of it make it hard to rinse easily on its own. The cloth helps to remove the cleanser in an easy and quick way as well as exfoliating your face to further the cleaning. However, through using the cloth a lot it hasn't held up as much as I would have hoped, so if this is a product you are interested in getting I would advice to get your own cloth, although I do like the fact that you get a cloth in the first place and don't have to buy it seperatly. 

I don't use this cleanser everyday as I feel that, for me personally, that its too much for my skin which is very sensitive. But I do use it most days when I break out with spots badly and it clears them up amazingly as well as super fast! The cleanser and the process you use leaves your skin feeling fresh and not tight or dry, which for me, most products do and I have to moisturize immediately after. But the cleansers creamy texture leaves my skin moisturized. 

The product helps to remove dirt and take makeup off so if I use this cleanser I tend to use it in the evening when I take my makeup off, so everything that was built up during the day I can wipe away. 

I always like to review the packaging of the product even if it is just going to be placed in my bathroom cabinet. I really like the large pump, its really convenient and gives you the right amount without wasting any. The bottle is plastic which is easy to wipe off if it gets messy. As well as the bottle being clear so you will always know how much product is left its simple yet stylish. 

The price I think is very reasonable especially for the amount of product you get and how long it lasts. The size available from Boots is 200ml and is £9.95, which again I think is really good especially as you get a cloth with it as well. I defiantly think that I will be buying this again as it is so gentle on your skin as well as easy and effective. Its great time saver for your skin care routine meaning you wont have to use as many products to get the same effect. Its suitable for anyone, though if your like me and have sensitive skin you can still use it but not to regularly. So if you want to grab yourself one click the link below!

Vice 3 Palette Review

Kinda a bit late on starting this whole new resolution where I'm gonna post 3 times a week, but I do have a rather valid reason (which actually ticks off one of my other resolutions!) I had numerous University e-portfolios and interviews to go to and if you have applied for Uni you will know how stressful it is! But I'm all done now so this week shall be the start of my 3 posts a week thingy ma bob, so lets do this thang!

So for Christmas I got this beauty of a palette... like if you you don't think this is a beauty you are blind! So where oh where do I start with this then, we all know that Urban Decay eyeshadow are the bomb.com and they never fail to impress. I own my fair few of Urban Decay palettes, and although for me the original Naked palette will be the best this one... could be it's next contender!

I'm just gonna jump off straight away and talk about the  eyeshadow,  you get a variety of matte and shimmer shades which are perfect to create a loud dramatic smokey eye or a more calm everyday one. Like always perfectly pigmented and to high quality!

The Vice 3 comes with 20 new shades to the Vice 2 palette which I love as I feel that Urban Decay do tend to repeat shades a lot. I feel that most of the shades are more on the warmer side which is great for autumn going into winter, however some of the shades like, Dragon, Freeze, Alchemy and Sonic will translate well in summer! The palette is also set out well with the columns that the shadows are in as they seem like the theme together all most. So for example there's a column of matte shades and a column of pinks, which is my favourite! I'm not the biggest lover of pink shades on me but I think I have converted the love. 

So these are the swatches for y'all, didn't realise how white I was aha oh and I'm really bad at swatch making to, so bare with me!

From top to bottom is 

Truth - Pale pink-nude matte,

Undone - Pink-beige, matte-satin with subtle tonal pearl,
Downfall - Warm light brown matte,
DTF - Taupe matte with subtle pearl,

Dragon - Bright metallic green shimmer,
Freeze - Metallic medium blue with multidimensional micro-glitter,
Heroine - Deep navy blue with subtle tonal pearl,
Brokedown - metallic golden brown shimmer with gold micro-glitter,

Vanity - Smoky metallic eggplant with multidimensional micro-glitter,
Lucky - Metallic bronze,
Reign - Rich brown satin,
Bobby Dazzle - Metallic white with pale gold micro-glitter,

Alien - Pink-peach with golden shift,
Alchemy - Deep fuchsia satin,
Bondage - Deep, smoky burgundy shimmer,
Sonic - Metallic red-copper,

Last Sin - Shimmer with silver micro-glitter,
 Angel - Light taupe with silver micro-glitter,
Defy - Smoky taupe satin,
Revolver - Soft black satin with subtle iridescent pearl.

The packaging is what makes it the beaut it is... it has this gorgeous reflective cover a almost like sunset streaks across it as well as crystallized lettering over the top which I love to feel aha  that weird?? The palette dose come with this little pouch to put it in which has the sunset streaks on too, and it feels nice and padded so it will protect the palette if you where ever to travel with it. 

I totally prefer this packaging to the previous palette, the Vice 2 palette that was mostly purple, but the Vice 3 defiantly amps up the luxury feel! As well as the large full sized mirror with a dual ended brush which was also featured in the Vice 2. However, it dose collect a tone of finger prints like its quite substantial!

Overall I do really love this palette and the shades, but I really think its down to personal preference to what type of shades you like. This palette was designed to be experimented with so if your like me and like to try new things then hit this up! It is quite pricey at £42 pound but I think that Urban Decay palettes are really worth the money if you know you are going to use it day in and day out.

I hope you liked this review and found it helpful! If you have this palette like me know your thoughts on it down below as well as your faveorite shades to use! Until next time have an awesome amazing day....
