LIZ EARLE CLEANSE & POLISH HOT CLOTH CLEANSER REVIEW
PRODUCT: Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser ($24.50) is the award winning, cult-status cleanser from this UK botanical beauty brand that was recently sold to Avon and is now available in the US too. I’ve seen this on a lot of beauty award lists and I finally had the chance to try it myself.
The cream contains tingly eucalyptus, which produces a cooling and lovely aromatic effect. It also has soothing cocoa butter in a formulation that can be used on your eyes to remove multiple coats of waterproof mascara - the ultimate multitasker. Mineral oil free, the cleanser has gentle purging power for pores and dead cells. Other naturally active ingredients include hops extract for toning, rosemary essential oil for fighting free radicals, and chamomile essential oil and beeswax for soothing reactive or tired skin.
The two-phase cleansing process is easy to do in the morning and at night time and takes just a few minutes. First massage the cleanser onto dry skin over the face and neck - decollete too if you choose. Next, rinse the pure muslin cloth in hot-to-the-touch water and wring it out before gently polishing off the cream in a circular motion.
The ritual of applying the cream, followed by washing with a hot, steaming muslin cloth over your sink, is so beautifully simple. It reminds you that clean skin is not about scrubbing layers off with harsh foaming cleansers -rather it’s about removing impurities, opening pores, gently sloughing off dead cells, and also about the relaxing experience of it all. Plus, you can wash and reuse the cloth, unlike that bottle of scrub you just threw out.
The cleanser is appropriate for all skin type and ages - and it can even help skin with acne that benefits from daily exfoliation. It is great for dry or dull complexions in need of brightening booster. Liz Earle offers such a refreshing experience on so many levels - it's no wonder that this cleanser is an all time fave of so many women around the world. Treat yourself to a facial experience at home for under $25.

REVIEW OF KLIX MAKE UP BRUSHES
PRODUCT: Klix Make Up Brushes
We’ve all heard the dangers of using dirty makeup brushes - from eye infections to spreading acne – but how many of us actually wash our brushes regularly? I certainly am guilty of using a brush that has just a little bit too much grit, a little bit too much color. Well here’s a product review perfect for the lazy beauty girls in all of us – Klix Make Up Brushes with replaceable brush heads. The brushes are sold in a set of three, priced at $59.95, which includes a Foundation/Concealer Brush, a Blush Brush and a Powder Brush. Replacement brush heads for each of the above are sold separately in sets of two – two Foundation/Concealer Brush heads sell for $9.95, two Blush Brush heads sell for $10.95 and two Powder Brush heads retail for $11.95. The collection also features two Kabuki Brushes for $19.95.
Believe or not, a recent survey found that 45% of the women polled never clean their makeup brushes because it is too time consuming or they simply don’t think about it. In fact, Linda Shrier, the creative force behind the Klix collection, developed the line because her own daughter experienced skin problems due to dirty makeup brushes.
Makeup brushes can harbor bacteria, oils and makeup residue that can wreak havoc on your skin – a situation Klix wants to remedy. “This idea is brilliant,” stated Joel Schlessinger, M.D. “If all my patients were to use recyclable makeup brushes, skin infections would be significantly reduced.”
So, if you are like me and always feel guilty about using a brush that isn’t the cleanest, consider the Klix solution. All brushes and replacement heads can be purchased online at www.KlixBrushes.com.

REVIEW OF L’ORÉAL COLOUR RICHE LE GLOSS
PRODUCT: L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Gloss
A burst of watermelon, a splash of raspberry, and a ravishing red are but a few of the tones that L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Le Gloss ($7.95) offers to spice up your look. Do you prefer something more subtle? Try a soft pink or a discrete nude lip gloss for a more elegant or professional look. The Colour Riche Le Gloss line boasts 16 fantastic shades that enhance your look by defining your lips. Whether you like clear gloss or a bold and shiny color, Le Gloss’s wide selection of shades is sure to have what you are looking for. If you are a little more creative and want to experiment with different effects, try combining your favorite gloss color with lipstick.
My personal favorite Le Gloss color is “Nude Illusion.” It works well with my skin tone, hair and eye colors to give the natural look that I personally prefer. It even has a hint of caramel flavor that I LOVE. I am definitely one of those people that likes to try new approaches to everything, including my regular makeup routine. I often borrow eye shadows, lipsticks, and blushes to see what new products I need to run out and buy. If you are that way too, I recommend you put on your running shoes for Le Gloss. Not only does it look good and feel good, it has several ingredients that are great for your lips. Its Omega 3 is excellent for hydration, the Vitamin E protects the delicate skin, and Argan Oil helps give the shiny boost that makes this gloss so incredible.
