Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Wipes



While I believe that facial wipes should not be used as a primary source of facial cleansing, I also think that there is still a place for them.

They’re great for getting make up off quickly, as the first step in your skincare regime perhaps and I use them all time for removing stubborn mascara and eye make up.




Now traditionally facial wipes are white in colour, not so are the Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Wipes.

These wipes are completely black.

Formulated with charcoal to help remove dirt and impurities whilst you cleanse these wipes are 95% natural and formulated without parabens, SLS and silicones.




Forgetting for a moment the fact that these are an unusual colour, the wipes themselves are pretty good.

They are lovely and moist, the wipe itself is thick and robust and my skin feels refreshed and clean rather than tight and dry after using them.

I’m not sure exactly what the purpose of them being black is though, other than to stand out.

 I get that the colour reflects the fact that they are formulated with charcoal, but I find it a little disconcerting!




One of the things I like about traditional wipes is the satisfaction you get when you’ve wiped your face and can see the make up residue on it, meaning it is no longer on your face.

When using these wipes I found it really weird that I couldn’t see my make up on them. That said this could be a plus point for some people!




As wipes go they’re pretty good and you’ll either love or hate their colour!

Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Wipes are available now and cost £4.99.

Rihanna RiRi Crush



I love a Rihanna fragrance. There are loads of celeb scents out there but personally I find that Rihanna does perfumes really well!

Crush by Rihanna is the second fragrance in her namesake RiRi collection and her eighth fragrance over all, so this girl knows what shes doing!
 



Designed by Rihanna herself and inspired by the original RiRi bottle, the bottle is chic and luxurious yet also playful and modern. The soft, sweeping curves of the bottle contrast the hard, dappled effect of the gold lid.

It’s the perfect combination of feminine lines and modern, high fashion. A bit like the lady herself!

As for the scent itself, I personally really like it!




It is unmistakably feminine and would be best described as ‘floriental’.

Opening notes of bergamot, juicy mandarin and pink peppercorn create a sweet yet soft experience while mid tones of pink rose, ylang ylang and red berries compliment them perfectly.




Base notes of creamy musk, cedarwood and patchouli round off the scent with soft, musky and seductive tones that together create a beautifully soft and feminine fragrance.

It is the perfect blend of sweet, fruity and floral, which each aspect getting a look in but neither overpowering the other.




It is a really fun, gorgeous scent and one of my favourite Rihanna perfumes.

Rihanna RiRi Crush is available now and costs £36 for 100ml.

Lottie London Mermaid Glow Rainbow Highlighter



Squeal! I’ve been so excited to try this little lovely out!

Say hello to Lottie London Mermaid Glow Rainbow Highlighter.




Unicorn, rainbow and mermaid highlighters have been all over social media lately and are attracting a LOT of attention thanks to their beautiful appearances and this one is no different!

This beautiful little palette features a gorgeous array of shimmery shades embossed with stars and is almost too pretty to use. (Almost)




For a natural look gently mix the colours by swirling your brush around the pan or for a bolder glow swipe your brush in one direction along the palette to create a rainbow effect!

I’m definitely not confident enough to pull off a rainbow highlighter effect, however pretty it is so I opt for a combination of all the shades.




Even mixed together it’s not that subtle thanks to the ethereal greeny-blue hue, but it is very pretty and the powder if beautifully soft.

At just £5.95 this highlighter is a bargain and lets be honest, it is extremely pretty!




Lottie London’s Mermaid Glow Rainbow Highlighter is available now.
