Some serious Liz Lovin'

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a fab day?!

A few days ago I was woken by the buzzer/phone in the flat (eugh) and it was the postman with a lovely parcel from the incredible people at Liz Earle! Lovely!

I've featured Liz Earle quite a bit on Reaching for The Stars and I'm yet to use anything from the brand that isn't amazing... I had a weird phase with Cleanse and Polish where it broke me out but now it really agrees with my skin and I've had no further problems.

Anyway, I've gone off on a tangent! Back to the parcel of love. (haha)..

I was incredibly lucky to be sent the Liz Earle Botanical Essence No1 and the SuperSkin Body Cream as well as a gorgeous beach/tote bag!




Botanical Essence No1:





please excuse my finger prints on the bottle! Silly flash!

This comes beautifully packaged in its own little dinky box with a blue ribbon on the side to slide the fragrance out. The bottle itself is glass, heavy and basic whilst still looking 'classy'.

On the side of the box, it says this:

"For our first ever fragrance we’ve used the finest natural botanical ingredients from around the world and the expert skills of a distinguished perfumer from Grasse, France. We gave him the time to indulge in the age-old art of perfumery, skilfully hand-crafting this complex scent with true passion to create this vibrant, sparkling fragrance translating into warmth and sensuality."

And inside the box there is a little note from the lovely Liz:


The fragrance is fresh and very 'clean' smelling. Heavy in patchouli with a slight hint of lavender. It also contains bergamot, geranium, lavender, coriander, mandarin and vetiver essential oils :)

I normally go for very sweet, sickly scents (britney spears fantasy, katie price stunning, etc) but this has completely stolen my heart. I literally haven't stopped dousing myself in it for days! A few of my friends have commented saying I smell 'grown up' and I've even had 'gossssh you smell amazing, normally you just smell of skittles' as well!

This bottle (50ml) retails at £40.35 which is a great price for such a gorgeous, good quality scent.

I'd love to think that as this is called 'No1' Liz has a few more up her sleeve! I can see myself filling a drawer with these bad boys!

SuperSkin Body Cream:

This cream is ultra-rich and formulated with 25% plant oils making it really intensive and great for parched, dry skin. It has the trademark Liz Earle herbal/fresh scent and is a thick cream (more of a body butter consistency than a cream consistency).







I've been slathering this all over my legs, feet, the tops of my arms and my chest/stomach after I've had a bath/shower in the evenings and I've noticed a real improvement in the condition of my skin. I even prefer this to my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour body cream and that is saying something!!!

This retails at £12.25 for a 50ml tube or £28.10 for a 200ml tube. Yes its pricey but you only need a tiny bit (it goes a really long way) and it's really good quality and effective. In my humble little opinion its worth every single penny and I'll definitely be purchasing another 200ml tube when this one runs out.

Beach/Tote Bag:





This is navy and cream, with a little 'Liz Earle' logo on the front! It's made of a thick, sturdy material and is absolutely gigantic! It also closes with a little magnetic snapper thingy that you can see in the last photo :) Since I received this I've been using it constantly, for shopping, or my lunch and bottle of water, or for notebooks etc... It's so, so useful and I love it so much! ♥

Have you tried any of these gorgeous products? Do you love them as much as me?
