I've been
away quite a few times in the last couple of weeks. At times like this, I get lazy with skincare,
and my skin punishes me for it! This
time I was taking no chances. At the
moment, god knows in how many years, my skin is finally in a happy place (I
have probably jinxed it now!). I brought
out the big guns and took along a favourite skincare range, Liz Earle.
The Liz
Earle Essentials Try-Me Kit, £23 is just the perfect thing for
travelling as they have the four important things for your skincare – cleanser,
toner, moisturiser and mask. There are
kits suited for each skin type and comes in a handy little travel pouch. Mine was actually a little different from the
link, as I didn’t have the eye makeup remover and had a face mask in my kit
instead.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
Hot Cloth Cleanser, 30ml
Good old C&P!
My skin loves this, so I knew it wouldn’t react badly to it. I have previously reviewed this (here)
in comparison with another similar cleanser, but don’t think many can compare
to the LE C&P. Great thing about this
kit is that, it also comes with a muslin cloth.
So you’re completely set!
Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin
Tonic, 50ml
I have never
used the tonic before, so was intrigued.
It’s a clear liquid and smells nice too.
I applied it to a cotton pad and swiped it over my cleansed face and
neck. I found this to be really
refreshing and cooling, and I liked that it seemed to make my skin feel really
fresh and ‘clean’. It’s hard to
describe, but I really enjoyed using this tonic, may have to repurchase a full
bottle!
Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser,
15ml
This is
probably the only thing in the kit that I didn’t ‘love’. The consistency was a little thick for my
liking (although my kit was for oily/combination skin). The fragrance wasn’t as nice as the C&P
or the tonic. It moisturised, but that’s
it. It’s not bad, just isn’t amazing. Perhaps the other products were too nice and
raised my expectation!
Liz Earle Brightening Treatment
Mask™
This mask promises to revitalise dull skin. We all need some of that from time to
time. So while I was lounging around in
the hot tub (more on that on a later post!); I slathered this all over my
face. It has a cream consistency and
dries on the skin but not like traditional mud masks; more like a yoghurt
setting. It’s easy enough to be removed
with a muslin cloth. My skin felt smooth
after wards, after a few uses, I could really see some brightening effects on
my skin. Really pleased with the mask
(because I need more to add to my stash, right?!)
This kit was really impressive as I got to try out four different
products, and all of them were good for my skin. It’s good value for money too, as the
products last a while. I’ve been away
for over a week, and I still have a lot of products left. I’ll be saving these for my next trip.
