Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint

"Introducing Sheer Skin Tint, the natural bridge from skincare through to colour. It's rich and creamy like a foundation, yet so lightweight it glides effortlessly onto the skin, blending easily to enhance natural skin tones"

I was given this tinted moisturiser as samples in all three shades.
01 - Bare
02 - Beige
03 - Beach
I'm not normally one for tinted moisturisers in all honesty and the only one I have ever actually purchased was You Rebel by Benefit and this was a spur of the moment purchase when I was 18 and the terrific sales spiel on the Benefit counter had me convinced I needed it. Needless to say once I had used it all I did not make a repeat purchase and that's not because the product isn't good but mainly because I prefer a fuller coverage for my skin. It is for that reason I was not holding out much hope for this product to convert me.
I opted for 02 - Beige as the colour that most suited my skin tone. I followed the instruction which was to; apply to forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Blend with your fingertips. And I was pleasantly supplied. The product blended well and the coverage was surprisingly good. For anyone who just likes to add a little colour to their skin as opposed to someone who wears make up for coverage this product is perfect. It is also great for wearing on holidays as it has a SPF of 15.
Unfortunately it is not going to convert me from my foundation due to my own skin insecurities but it comes highly recommended.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint is available from uk.lizearle.com/makeup and retails at £21 for 40ml

Tangle Teezer

My fine hair is always a pain, especially when I leave it do dry. It gets tangled very easily and I often have to yank at it to get what I would call "the cobs" out. (you would probably say knots. It's a welsh thing)
Upon a recent visit to my favourite hairdressers. (Per Capita in Cardiff Bay) my trusted hair stylist used a tangle teezer after my hair had been washed. I felt like I was in hair heaven! I'd always been told not to brush out my cobs using a hair brush but to always use a comb - however this can sometimes be a somewhat painful experience and one that I have been subjected to many a time in the hairdressers chair.
The Tangle Teezer however glided through my hair with ease with no pulling or snagging at my hair at all! It was with this I decided to purchase one from my local branch of Boots and I couldn't be more pleased.
It carries a pretty heft price tag and this one retailed for just over £10 however I feel it is well worth the investment not only because it's great for my hair but because it's also pretty ;o)
The Tangle Teezer range varies from the Salon Elite to the Flower Pot in a vast array of colours.
Compact: £12.25
Magic Flower Pot: £13.25
Salon Elite: £11.20
Original (pictured) £10.20

On another note it's made in the UK
