Review: No7 Cleanse & Care Eye Make-up Remover


I used to just use a make-up wipe to get rid of all the make-up on my face and eyes and think that was good enough but I began using some mascaras and eyeliners that were difficult to remove with the wipes and I would still wake up with panda eyes.
I got this a couple of days ago from Boots with the trusty No7 voucher and haven't looked back since. I use 2 cotton pads on my eyes and it gently removes the make-up and a little goes along way. 

On the Boots website it says that the 'No7 cleanse and care eye make-up remover uses double-action to condition while you cleanse. No7 cleanse and care eye make-up remover is so gentle it's even suitable for sensitive eyes.' This is something I can back up as I hate anything too fragranced and heavy around my eyes as it makes them feel sore and irritated.

I use this with the alongside my skincare routine that I posted previously and it works fine. I'm really happy with the products that I've been using lately and my skin is happy too.

Can you recommend any other No7 products?

Review: Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades (£4.19) Boots/ Superdurg

Yes! I'm back with a haul. I popped into Superdrug today and saw that make-up was on 3 for 2 (mix and match all the brands) so I couldn't just ignore it, I had to go in. There were things I was going to get from Boots so I thought I'd also save myself money.

The first item is the Collection 2000 shimmer shades in way to glow. It is a multi purpose highlighter and bronzer in one compact, with the aim to give a 'subtle glow' to the face. 

There are four individual colours in the palette, a champagne, a rosy pink, a golden bronze and a pinky brown shade. They are all shimmery, soft and easy to blend onto the skin. They are not highly pigmented but this is something I wouldn't want from a highlighter/ bronzer, I'd rather it give a subtle glow like its meant to. They are shimmery with a some glitter but this is fine and not chunky at all which is always good.
The packaging is quite thick and sturdy which is always good if its in a make-up bag as it's less likely to get smashed. The shades are pressed firmly into the pan and they are soft to touch.
I'm quite excited to use the product and might even use the shades on my eyes as I'm sure they'd make a great eyeshadow too. I'll also use it with my Real Techniques Blusher Brush or the Real Techniques contour blush to put the highlight on my cheeks.

The product retails at £4.19 which I think is a great price for a highlighting and bronzing product. I'd really recommend this product, especially for the summer months (if the sun decides to come out). I also have the 'Blushalicious' palette in the Shimmer Shades range which is really nice aswell.


I hope you enjoy this review and go and enjoy the Superdrug 3 for 2 ;)
