My top THREE cleansers

My top three facial cleansers 

Now everyones skin is different, for starters you could have oily, dry, spot prone or sensitive, the list goes on and on. 

Mine is super sensitive. My mum always said I had a english rose complexion. Very lucky naturally rosy cheeks with freckles and very clear skin. However in the summer it does get dry because of the heat around the t-zone area on my face. Which could be a problem, I cant go putting anything oily on it. 

So I have picked three products that really suit my skin and work well to give me my glowing complexion. 

1. Clinique Rinse-off foaming cleanser £17.00 johnlewis.com

Packaging and size    - Size is very handy which makes it good for travelling. The packaging itself is very soft, With a click open lid. (No spills) 8/10

Redness  Hardly any with this product 1/10

Softness  9/10 

Price     5/10 Arg! Please be cheaper

This comes out in a white cream base, Mix in with warm water turns into a lovely soapy texture. A small bit goes a long way, So I guess in that aspect it is worth the money. This one doesn't have any smell to it, So perfect to use when you are taking off all your makeup in the evenings before bed. 

9/10 

2.  Sothys delicious scrub  

Packaging and size    -Again perfect for travelling. The edges however are really sharp. 

Redness  5/10 expected with a scrub really

Softness  10/10

Price     To get the full size it is £45.00 which for a small tub is very pricey. 

Smell  This contains ginger and nutmeg so it is a very christmassy smell, which I love. 

So it comes out in an orangery beady gel form, It is a little painful to put on your face due to the hard little beads but you know with a full face of make up, this bad boy will get all of it off. After rinsing off, the face is soft straight away which is a bonus.

10/10

3.Dermalogica Clean Start cleanser 

Packaging and size   This is the smallest of the three, Therefore fits practically any where.  6/10

Redness  1/10 No redness!

Softness  10/10

Price     This was a *Freebie! But worth every penny if I was to buy it! 10/10

Smell   Very pretty smell, cant quite explain what it is..  9/10

I had been a huge fan of Dermalogica for about seven years since I worked in a salon in norwich, And I love, Love LOVEEE the stuff. Even better when the item is free (hehe) We all think that. But seriously I have forked out quite a bit for their products. This product in particular I would recommend to use in the morning, It comes out in a clear, smooth gel.This is the most replenishing cleanser as it doubles as a moisturiser. Perfect for the summer months when the sun dries out your skin!!

10/10

I recommend you try all these, Tell me what you think!

Boussac - France April 2014

 Boussac - France 

France was a very short trip, Which meant we had a lot of ground to cover in just a few days. It was also a surprise trip from my mum and martin (mums husband) and was also my first trip on euro tunnel, which for me was not a very nice experience, For one my hate of  deep water, and the fact I really hate small spaces. The two combined made the Euro tunnel not a exciting bit of the trip for me. How ever luckily it was only 34 minutes long, which was not that bad. 

In the car about to board the Euro Tunnel, I was surprised to find out how cheap it was too, I think for three of us it was about a hundred euros. 

Driving around in France compared to England where you only have tolls going to Wales and C ornwall, There was a toll  almost every road, some tolls were 48.00 euros others 18.00 euros depending on how far you have travelled. Yes, it does work out a lot when you look at the full prices especially because there was so many miles and so much time spent driving. The difference was incredible, The roads where spotless, clean and overall a nicer drive compared to some of the pot holed roads we have here in England. 

I think if I ever did live in france, I would avoid every bakery I would walk past. This however is not a bad thing, just look at the picture above. The food was gorgeous, Especially the macaroons, Well priced and beautifully set out. 

First when we went to Boussac, We visited a town just on the outskirts where my mum and her partner have just brought a barn to renovate, so they where checking that in was still intact before they undergo any work that needs doing to it. Which is a lot. 

The town of Boussac itself was very clean and very very quiet. Other than a few people who joined us in the Cafe we came across no one else. There was no one about. The old buildings itself where beautiful, quaint and seemed to have feel of history about them which made this little town something of a treasure. 

We did meet this lovely dog, which belonged to the cafe owners son called Ob-e-one Star wars reference. 

Trying to find an open cafe or  coffee bar was something of a struggle especially because we found most of the shops itself shut in the afternoon and Boussac not being a tourist town, meant it was hard luck to find somewhere open. But in the end we did find somewhere. I am not brilliant with french, I speak a little italian . Yet, we had to make do with the french we knew and when it came to ordering food this did make it a little difficult but we managed by all settling for the same lunch. 

Me and my mum outside the Cafe. 

The courtyard in the main bit of town in Boussac, As you can see from the pictures we where lucky because of the beautiful weather we had that day. 

Myself. 

Some of the old buildings around the town. 

Mum and martins old barn just on the outskirts of Bossauc, you can see there is a lot of work that needs to be done to it. But with the ideas they have, once they finish it, it will look wonderful.

I must say it is lovely to visit a town that isn't over run by tourists, I find many of the towns that are, are spoilt. Covered with shops and tacky sovenier shops. Boussauc is a beautiful town and I hope it stays untouched in that way.
