Beauty Products Emptied in November 2016 + Link-up

Zymogen Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, November 28, 2016

My Gramps is down with bad knee trouble, to the point where he cannot walk. It has been going on for a month now and he has been stubborn about not investigating it, so I will be dragging him to doctors and tests from tomorrow. I've managed to forget my camera, so you'll have to make do with iPhone photos until Gramps gets a clean bill of health.
Over the last month, I have been diligent about hair care - I underwent a grand chop, donating 19'' of my locks, back in September. My hair is a lot healthier, and easier to manage. And, hair care products take longer to use up. I wish that was true with skincare - my skin seems to guzzle up product.

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask Review

Vegan Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, November 16, 2016

Clean skincare is British beauty brand REN's USP. I haven't come across a single REN product I didn't love, from their eye cream to the ClearCalm Clay Cleanser.
REN products are always free of parabens, sulphates, silicones, PEGs, TEA, DEA, glycols, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrance and artificial colours. Nor are they tested on animals.
You must have seen samples of the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask in some of my empties posts. It is a "potent bio-active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce fine lines and dramatically improve skintone."

Holiday 2016 Gift Idea: Beauty Expert Radiance Collection

Zelens Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, October 17, 2016

A few days ago, I posted about the Beauty Expert Rose Edition collection here - a set of six full-sized products for an incredibly low price of £50, with products worth £134 - with a saving of £84.
Now, they have a new Radiance Collection worth more than £210, at the same low price of £50. That is insane! This one is meant for anyone who wants radiant, glowing skin, and glossy, healthy hair, and contains high-end brands such as Zelens, Alpha-H, and Gatineau.
For those who haven't heard of Beauty Expert, they are owned by the Hut Group - yes, the same group who owns my favourite LookFantastic. Speaking of which, have you ordered your Advent Calendar from here? Not many days left, and, believe me, you don't want to miss out! Or, get the Molton Brown one here or the Decleor one here, for some general pampering!

Belli Skincare Face Wash, Eye Cream, Hydrator: For Glowing Skin

Belli Skincare Face Wash, Eye Cream, Hydrator: For Glowing Skin

Treatment Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, August 02, 2016

A couple of years ago, "glowing" skin meant oily in my book, and I was doing all I could to make my skin as dry as a desert. Harsh treatments; little hydration. A huge protest later, my skin got its message across - the glow comes from within as fresh skin is revealed, is a sign of health as dead cells are cleared away, and can be achieved with active ingredients such as alpha-hydroxy acids, which increase the rate of cell turnover and replacement.
The world of skincare acids can be daunting. One of the gentler AHAs out there is lactic acid, which occurs naturally in our bodies. American brand Belli Skincare incorporate lactic acid in their products.

Best Wash Cloths For Cleansing Your Face

Best Wash Cloths For Cleansing Your Face

Tools Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, June 07, 2016

Do you use flannel or muslin cloths to wash your face and remove makeup? I do now. Until December, I used the same towel to dry my hands and face, and admit to having used even turbie twists for drying my face at a pinch. Which, according to my derm when I consulted her over a horrible breakout, is as bad as using the same pillowcase for weeks on end. Lesson learnt, I now have separate wash cloths for the face, and change the cloth after every cleanse.
Using wash cloths for cleansing your face is not only a luxurious, pampering step in your routine, but it also improves circulation, provides gentle exfoliation and leaves your face squeaky-clean and 100% makeup-free without resorting to harsh cleansers or specialised makeup removers. Ideal facial cloths are flannel, though I use muslin if I am using an exfoliating or resurfacing cleanser or following with a peel. Here are the best face cleansing cloths out there, in descending order.
