Sunday Steal: Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser

I love a good hot cloth cleanser. Nothing feels more luxurious than removing all the grime off your face with a thick cream cleanser and a hot muslin cloth. Whilst Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish is the high-end product of choice for most, I love finding products on the high-street without the big price tag. I have previously raved about No7's Melting Gel Cleanser but there is a big place in my heart for this Superdrug version.

The Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser is really easy to use. Apply the thick cream to a wet face in circular motions and let it settle for a minute before wiping away the product with a hot muslin cloth.

It smells fantastic and contains Mulberry extract to brighten the skin as well as a good dose of cocoa butter to smooth and moisturise. I have been using this for a long time and really notice the difference to my skin- especially in Autumn and Winter when cold air and central heating leave my skin looking less than radiant.

Whilst this product usually retails at a modest £5.99, it is currently on offer for just £2.98! I might just be ransacking my local Superdrug and buying in bulk.

Sunday Steal: No7 Melting Gel Cleanser

This week, I'm featuring my favourite cleanser of the moment. I am always a fan of spending a bit of money on a cleanser in the hope that maybe my face will thank me for it in the future! This one is lovely- luxurious and gentle enough to use every day. Even better, you can pick it up from your local Boots. 

From Boots Beautiful Skin range, this gel-based cleanser has the feeling of a warm oil when in contact with your skin. Massage it in and you'll feel it sink into your skin. Wash away with a damp muslin cloth or warm flannel and you'll find that your skin feels clean and well hydrated. I also noticed a little more of a glow than usual. A bonus, I'm sure you'll agree.


The main thing I love about this product is that it feels like it is from a luxury brand. The warm feeling of the gel feels really nice on my skin and this alone makes it a treat to use each morning and night. Priced at £9, it is neither a high-end product or a budget buy, but if you're lucky enough to grab yourself a £5 off No7 voucher, you can grab this cleanser for just £4. Definitely worth a purchase.

What is your favourite product from the No7 range?

Sunday Steal: Nivea Lip Butters

Always one for a beauty bargain, each week I will be sharing a great beauty buy that you can purchase for under a tenner. This week features old favourite Nivea and their new branch of luscious lip butters.

These have been a favourite of mine for a while. In fact, as soon as I'd heard that these were to be launched, I hot-footed it straight to my local Boots store to see if they would live up to my expectations. Thankfully, they did. These butters are thick, luxurious, smell delicious and are a great dupe for Palmer's Lip Butter for a fraction of the price. Even better, these lip butters come in small hand-bag friendly tins and last for ages! Even for a lip butter addict like myself, I have barely used a whole tin in the last few months.


The butters themselves come in four different flavours. Original is a lot what you would expect from a Nivea product- with a familiar scent and the iconic blue tin, it nourishes the lips without too much fuss or flavour. I have been keeping this in my bedside table to keep my lips soft as I sleep.

Raspberry Rose is a favourite of mine. It smells like raspberry frozen yoghurt, although the taste is subtle- not nearly as sickly sweet as expected.  It's thick buttery consistency feels luxurious and leaves my lips with a lovely rosy sheen- a definite bonus!

Caramel Cream is my least favourite of the four and one I haven't purchased. This is mainly due to the scent of the product. Whilst Raspberry Rose feels fresh and summery, I'm not overly keen on the sickly sweet toffee smell of this one. Perhaps one for sweet fans, but not for me.

Vanilla and Macadamia Nut is the newest of the bunch and smells as good as you'd imagine. The creaminess of the vanilla (a very true vanilla and not artificial whatsoever) combined with the nuttiness of the macadamia creates a lovely fragrance. I'm sure this one will be in my bag for a long time to come.

Have you tried any of the Nivea Lip Butters? What is your favourite flavour?
