BEAUTY | BEE GOOD HONEY & PROPOLIS 2 IN 1 CREAM CLEANSER

After getting this a full size Bee Good Honey and Propolis 2 in 1 cleanser* in a goodie bag at an event recently and having run out of  my usual cleanser (Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish) I thought I would give it a go. I first heard of this cleanser when it came highly commended in the Beauty awards and have since seen a few review floating about the blogoshpere.

In general I try not to chop and change my skin care routine. I think when you find something that works, stick with it and I have been using Liz Earle since I was about 13 after my mum discovered on QVC. However, the Bee Good Cream Cleanser  is quite similar - firstly both are cream based which are apply to dry skin and removed with a wet muslin cloth (provided)- not only does this remove your make up and dirt, but it also helps ex-foliate the skin.

The Bee Good cream cleanser smells delicious and feels luxuriously rich as you apply it to the skin. I think it's also important to point out that you don't have to use loads, a 2 pence blob goes a long way. The muslin cloth makes it easy to remove the cleanser and gets rid of all your make up without scrubbing. My Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner, which usually is a real pain to remove, came off with ease. Once you dry off your face it is left feeling silky soft and hydrated.

Since I started using the Bee Good cleanser I have had a few comments about how clear my skin looks - some of which were when I was sans make up as well. For someone who has put the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish on a pedestal for more than half her life, I am happy to say that the Bee Good Cream Cleanser is a fierce competitor. Also at £11.50 it is a steal.

BEAUTY | Liz Earle Cleanse, Tone and Moisturiser Review

Liz Earle Skincare Range*

I have been using the Liz Earle skincare range since I was about 13 and my mum discovered it on QVC. Ever since I started using the product I have been a faithful customer and also use some of the other products. Like with all skin routines you use these products morning and night.

The Cleanse & Polish* (£14.25 for 100ml) contains rosemary, chamomile, cocoa butter and eucalyptus essential oil and is an award winning cleanser. To use the cleanser you massage it onto your dry skin over your face and neck  to 'purify, soften and stimulate the circulation.' 

You then take the muslin that comes with the cleanser (not pictured) soak it in warm water and wring it out and gently remove the cleanser from your face, this helps exfoliate the skin. Then splash your face with cold water.

After using the cleanser it leaves your skin feeling beautifully soft unlike other skincare products my that can leave you feeling tight and dry. It also fully removes all make up, including mascara.

The next step is the Instant Boost Skin Tonic* (£12.50 for 200ml) which contains the naturally active ingredients aloe vera, chamomile, calendula cucumber and natural vitamin E which revitalises and softens. There is also rose-scented geranium, lavender and sweet orange to restore and revive.

Firstly the toner smells beautiful, it isn't too strong or over powering, just a subtle floral hint. Pour a generous amount of toner on to a cotton bud and apply over the face and neck.

The final stage is the Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser* (£18.75 for 50ml), I use the cream for normal/combination skin and swear by it. The cream contains borage and avocado oil, echinacea, beta-carotine and natural vitamin E. You only need the smallest amount and that will keep your skin hydrated all day without leaving your skin greasy or shiny.

I honestly haven't got a bad word to say about these products and I think the fact that I have used them for nearly half my life says it all. 

Have you tried Liz Earle? Or do you have a skincare product you are loyal to? Let me know!
