Hi!! I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in such a long time, I don't really know why really, but with it being the 6 weeks, I have a lot of spare time on my hands, so I will be doing alot of blogging!!
I'm going to be reviewing the boots No7 cleansing brush. Unfortunately it isn't a very positive review, in fact I could say, I was terribly disappointed with this product. All the things said in this post are based on my own experience and opinion.
Being interested in beauty, I have always always being interested in skincare, and have always always wanted the clarisonic. But unfortunately, like a lot of people, I don't have clarisonic money in my bank. I was searching on ebay for a dupe of the clarisonic, and stumbled across one from olay, which was quite similar too the No7 one, this was £32 and I thought this was quite reasonable, until I came across the boots one, which was £15!! (Usually £25) I thought this was great at the time, and if it had worked for me, it would have been a great bargain But it didn't So unfortunately, was a huge waste of money. When I was using it for the first couple of days, I was expecting a few breakouts, as for all, it was deeply cleansing my skin. As expected, I got a few breakouts (more than a few) and I carried on using it as I thought they would go and clear up within a couple of days. They never. Two weeks later, my skin was covered in huge spots. My pores were visible and this never happens. I can honestly say my skin had never been so bad in all my life, and I don't usually suffer from a lot of spots, (I used to when I was around 13, but I seemed to grow out of it). It isnt 'that time of the month' so unfortunately I cant blame the spots on that, and i'm using all the same products. I am definitely never going back to this type of cleansing method, as it resulted badly for me.
One big worry with these types of cleansers is that the bristles will be harsh, and I was really surprised when I first opened it, too how soft they were. I used it exactly how it stated too on the box, which was:
1) Remove all the makeup from your face.
2) Add cleanser to your face (it suggested using a No7 one but I used a foamy one from the simple range) Add the cleanser to generously to your forehead, cheeks and chin.
3)The brush gives an option of 2 speeds, and by pressing the power button twice, it will increase the brush speed and will offer a deeper clean. When I used the brush, I used it on the first speed, as I thought the deep clean would be too harsh, as I was using it every night. Gently massage your face in small circular motions, do this for around 60 seconds (concentrating on cheeks, your chin and your forehead) This will lather up the cleanser, giving your skin a great deep clean.
I've heard that the brush bristles do wear out and get a bit messy, and you can buy replacements for them at £8 for 2.
This product is not waterproof, so i'd be careful not to wet the whole thing when wetting the brush end. It isn't suitable for sensitive skin.
I am not criticising the product at all, as I have read other reviews on it and it has worked for nearly everyone, people were saying how their skin is as clear as it has ever been. To be honest I think this review is the first bad being created on the product. It is bias (coming from my own opinion) I am saying this is how it worked out for me and my skin, as obviously products work differently for different skin types.
At the end of the week, i'm going to Leeds shopping for the weekend, so be expecting a lot of blog posts on the beauty items I buy from there, and also, I have a depop account (for anyone who doesnt know what that is, its an app where you sell things or swap things) and i'm selling clothes (such as levi's mom jeans) and beauty and skincare items (such as a clinique) and a few extra bits (books ect) so be sure to have a look at my items if you have depop, and follow me @indiacameron!!
Thankyou:-))x
