How much is your Holiday Toiletries Bag Worth?

Hi-diddley-ho-there!

(Can I just say before I start this post. I am not nude in the picture above. Upon looking at it again after posting I look like a bloody nudist hippy! I can assure you that I am wearing a bikini top behind this large toiletries bag. Sort it out Ash, sheesh! Now on with the post)

This is an interesting one peoples. I love to take lots of toiletries on holiday because it is nice to have the comforts of home. Comforts meaning beautifying products. And I have many.

REVIEW - L'oreal ReVitalift Rejuvenating Make-Up Remover & Toner

I have been using these products on and off for quite a few years so I feel like I'm in a good position to give them an accurate review.

First of lets start with the L'oreal Vitalift Rejuvenating cleansing rich Make-Up removing milk £6

I really like the pearly texture and look of the bottle. The size and shape is also nice. The product is white and very rich with a silky texture. You don't need much at all. I put it on a cotton pad and it takes my make up off with ease, leaving no trace of the strongest black eyeliner.  

The only thing I am not too keen on with this product is the perfumey smell. However, because I like everything else about it I can put this aside. 

I have sensitive skin and while this product doesn't irritates my skin, I am slightly cautious of leaving on any residue due to the strong perfume smell. I always make sure that I use toner afterwards or I wash my face. 

The great thing about this product is that it leaves my skin feeling super soft. The next day my skin really feels like silk.  

I would say the product name is accurate, I can't emphasise the silkyness of my skin it is soo soft.


On to L'oreal Vitalift Rejuvenating cleansing smoothing toner £6

The first thing I want to note about this product is the strong perfumey smell, stronger than the milk. This is a total turn off for me. I prefer products that smell more natural. 

The second thing is that it is very sticky in texture and leaves my face feeling sticky. So much so that I have to wash off any residue. This is also a turn off for me. Sticky is icky! I once used this without removing residue, then applied makeup. My skin felt so gross! And it also gave me spots.. yuk, never again! 

Although these products are recommended to use together, I really don't use the toner unless I am desperate and even then I will dilute it with water. I just feel it is too strong for my skin. The times I have used it without watering it down or washing my face after use I have noticed some small spots. Not good. I really don't feel it did any of the jobs it is suppose to do.

Overall, I really like the make up remover, it definitely removes make up well and it leaves my skin so silky soft.  The toner... not a fan. Too sticky and perfumey for me. I prefer to use Garnier vitamin enriched toner which is also a lot cheaper at £2.50.

If you are looking for a great make up remover that will leave your skin silky the milk is for you. I would say the milk would suit normal to dry skin best. The toner I wouldn't really recommend for anyone.

I noticed while googling these products that L'oreal have recently renamed this 'Revitalift' rather than 'vitalift'. I believe you can still get the 'vitalift' in some places but from what I can tell they are just the same thing.

What do you think? Have you tried these products?

REVIEW - Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry or Sensitive Skin

I have been using this twice a day every day for 2 months and it still feels heavy like I have hardly used any. It smells gorgeous too, like marshmallows. I just love it.

It is a gorgeous creamy texture.  First I used it as described, rubbing in gently on to my face with water.  But it really annoys me when all the water runs down your arms and on to the floor so now if I am not in the bath or shower, I wet some cotton pads, squeeze a small finger tip sized ball on to the pad then wipe over my face. If I have make up on I will do this twice.  Then I wash my face with water to get rid of any residue.

 

Soft, gentle and makes my skin feel super clean.

I will definitely buy this again. I really really love it.  Worth every penny. 10/10
