Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser

I have already reviewed the Elemis Melting Gel Cleanser, but have decided to add this to my regime. I prefer my Melting Gel in the morning and this for the evening. It has a similar feel to Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish but I prefer this. It is really rich and creamy and is gentle enough to use on your eyes! I detest eye make up removers so this is perfect. You spread one or two pumps over the face and massage it around, leave it for a minute and wipe off!

This is how amazing it is as a cleanser!

One and a bit pumps, leave it to do its job and your face is left squeaky clean! Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser is available from Feel Unique, Time To Spa, QVC and all good department stores

How was your Christmas? Update and a review inside!

Hope you all got spoilt and had a wonderful time!

I got mostly beauty gifts, of course! Including 3 BareMinerals sets, Soap and Glory's Hey Big Splendour, Stila Blockbuster colour palette, some funky kitchen tins, a make-up bag and mirror, slippers, a dress, a new charm for my bracelet, a cupcake shaped cookie jar, a Willow Tree trinket box, a photo canvas, and a Mandara Spa ultimate getaway pamper bag which I will be part reviewing today.

Now this I was looking forward to getting! I haven't had a bath in about 6 months, I just prefer the speed of showers! But today I had a nice bath using my Amber Heaven products from my Mandara spa collection, which I love so much I have just bought more stuff in the sales on Sainsbury's! Anyhoo, back to the review!
I used the Amber Heaven Indulging bath and the shower cream and the smell is divine! Quite strong but very relaxing, and the shower cream is delicious feeling, soft and very foamy even though it is free from SLS, SLES, parabens, mineral oil and DEA.
The smell didn't last particularly long on the skin, but am getting the body lotion soon to layer it up.

Mandara Spa products are a sister brand to Elemis, but more affordable and the quality, naturalness and environmental goodness shows through.
Available at larger Sainsbury's store and from www.timetospa.co.uk

Elemis Pure Melt Cleanser

This is my first dabble in Elemis facial products, and boy, its a good one!The tiny amount shown was all I needed to cleanse my whole face, which lets be honest here, is a bit of a must at £20 ish per 125ml tube.
The gel spread like a dream, you apply it from the tube with dry fingers, all over the face, wet fingers and the gel melts into soft, delicate foaminess. The scent is fresh and not at all overpowering.
I rinsed off using my Emma Hardie cloth and the picture shows the dirt taken from my face on a NON make-up day, wasn't sure whether to be horrified or impressed! I am usually a double cleanse gal, going for a face wash as well as a balm or oil but the few times I have used this I have felt no need. Joy!



Overall, this is a cleanser I am likely to purchase myself (this was from a swap) and having tried a few other things (more posts another time) I think I will dabble in the Elemis range a LOT more!
Elemis is available from QVC, www.timetospa.co.uk and John Lewis amongst others.
