DIY: Noir inspired neon and rhinestone necklace

I hope you are having a lovely Saturday. It is really warm and sunny in Glasgow.

I was planning to add a NOTD post today, but I forgot that I had this one ready ;)

I made this necklace last week, when I was making my neon bangles. (click)

It is really easy to make, simply stitch the rhinestone necklace onto a shoe lace! ;)

LIZ EARLE CLEANSE AND POLISH HOT CLOTH CLEANSER REVIEW

Hi everyone.

The product I am reviewing today is the famous Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser*.

I have seen this product on most beauty blogs and I am sure that you've read a few reviews on it already.

I was kindly sent this cleanser to review and I have been using it for over 2 weeks (morning and evening) and now I can share my opinion.

 

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml* £14.25 link

I received the 100 ml pump starter kit. It comes with a handy bag and 2 muslin cloths and retails at £14.25.  There is a wide selection of sizes available, starting from a 30ml tube with 1 muslin cloth for just £5.50. If you like "try before you buy" Liz Earle gives you the opportunity to buy a small tube at a reasonable price.

In the morning I massage the product onto dry skin and use the muslin cloth to polish it off, concentrating on my problem areas- nose, forehead and chin.  Quick splash of cold water to remove any leftover product, followed by a toner and a light moisturiser and my skin instantly feels nice and fresh.

In the evening, to remove my make up, I apply the cleanser allover my face, concentrating on the eye area, to remove waterproof mascara. I wear quite a lot off eye make up and this cleanser removes it really well, without irritating my eyes. I use cotton wool pads for this and  the muslin cloth to polish off the creamy cleanser allover my face. I love the texture of this cleanser- it feels like a thick and luxurious moisturising cream and smells amazing!

TIP: Rinse the cloth in hand-hot water and wring out before gently wiping off the cream. Rinse and repeat. The muslin cloths should be put in a machine wash after a few uses, to make sure they are clean and not breeding bacteria.

After over 2 weeks of everyday use I noticed that my skin feels much softer and looks more radiant. Dry patches of skin on my nose disappeared and I can really see a difference.

The muslin cloth plays a big part in this skin care routine. It helps to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, which is perfect for those who don't like too many steps in their skincare routine. 

All the ingredients are natural including creamy, moisturising cocoa butter, eucalyptus essential oil, chamomile essential oil, pro-vitamin B5 and beeswax to relief chapped skin.

You can get this cleanser from Liz Earle website here. Available in sizes: 30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 200ml.

NOTD- musical notes

This design was the hardest one I have ever done using my Konad stamping kit. It was my third attempt and every time something went wrong. I don't have the special Konad nail polish for stamping, I used MUA instead... but it didn't work very well with this design, as there is too much detail.

Here is the final result, excuse my cuticles ;)

The Best Ways To Improve Your Child's Focus

Some children might have periods whereby they lose attention and focus in school and general life. Some children might dislike the school learning environment or might spend too much time on technology, which interferes with their social confidence. 

Either way, it is important to help improve and maintain your child’s attentiveness so they can carry this trait forward with them into adulthood. Focus and attention are great traits to have as they will allow a child to grow into someone that cares about their future and wants to achieve the best. 

Here are the best ways to help improve and maintain your child’s focus.

MAC FANFARE Lipstick REVIEW

Hi everyone!

I was very lucky to win this beautiful lipstick on a blog giveaway from lovely Kimmi.

This is my first ever MAC lipstick, so I was extremely happy when I got it. My expectations were really high, as I read many positive reviews about MAC products. I need to admit- I am very pleased with this new addition to my small lipstick collection. 

The shade is called Fanfare and it has got a cremesheen finish. The colour is gorgeous, salmon pink with coral undertones. It is perfect for a daytime look with natural makeup, or night time look with smokey eyes. 

I like the consistency and the way it feels on my lips, keeping them moist and nourished. I hate lipstick that dry out my lips. It doesn't feel greasy and stays on for about 2-3h.

I think I will be buying more MAC lipsticks in the future :)
