Eve Lom Rescue Mask*

Over the past few days my skin was feeling and looking a little ‘meh’. There was nothing horrifically wrong with it, but I just didn’t feel right. That’s where my trusty tube of Eve Lom’s Rescue Mask came, well, to the rescue.

The Rescue Mask is an absolute godsend if you want a bit of a complexion refresh. Camphor, Almond and Honey-infused Kaolin Clay in the formula all work together to really brighten skin, and pimples don’t stand a chance against it!

I tend to use the mask once a week, although if I do get a breakout, this is the first thing I pull out, and it’s pretty awesome! It has a clay-like texture which is easy to spread over freshly cleansed skin. There are small exfoliating particles in the mask, so as I apply it, I gently smooth it on using circular motions.

The Rescue Mask smells amazing – I think it’s the Camphor in it, and it feels super cooling when applied. I apply a light layer, and allow it to dry which usually take 10-15 mins. I then remove it using a hot, clean flannel. My skin feels incredible after using the mask – incredibly fresh and clean, but not dried out. It works miracles on pimples too – I just dab a little on the area, and let it get to work. Within a couple of minutes, any breakouts are seriously diminished!

Eve Lom’s Rescue Mask is priced at £35.00 and is available here (UK) and here (US)

Eve Lom Flawless Radiance Primer*

I just cannot believe it’s New Years Eve tomorrow – it’s crazy how fast this year has zoomed by! I’m sure you have the most fabulous plans for the evening, so, if you’re planning your makeup look, you need to check out Eve Lom’s incredible Flawless Radiance Primer.

On a daily basis, I don’t normally reach for a primer, I often find them a little heavy feeling, or too silicon-y. Eve Lom’s Flawless Radiance Primer, however is completely different. The texture of the primer is perfect – it feels like a light, silky moisturiser, and it disappears into skin. If you suffer from oily skin, I’m pretty sure you could use it in place of your daily moisturiser. I only need a pea sized amount of the primer, and I smooth it over my face and neck. The formula is translucent, so it’s perfect for all skin tones, and it settles into the skin leaving a dewy glow. After application, I use my regular Estee Lauder EE cream (see here) and my regular concealer and bronzer. The primer really works to smooth skin texture, and it makes makeup apply really beautifully. Last week, I tried it out before embarking on a road trip down south – usually by the time we hit hour 3 or 4 of the trip, I need to touch up, but using the Flawless Radiance Primer, I looked identical to when I left – it’s genius! The primer isn’t just for fixing makeup, but it protects skin too! The formula contains Vitamins A and E, which means skin feels firm, nourished and it’s also protected from free-radicals and UV damage.

The Flawless Radiance Primer is priced at £40.00 and is available here (UK) and here (US)

Eve Lom Perfect Partners Gift Set*

So, I can’t quite believe we’re all done with Christmas, and I hope you had a fantastic one! Since everyone is gearing up for New Year’s Resolutions, I thought I would share a skincare set that your skin is absolutely crying out for!

The Perfect Partners Gift Set is a great way to acquaint yourself with the Eve Lom brand, if you’ve never tried it before, or, if you have, it’s a perfect New Year gift to yourself! Packaged within a rather chic white and gold gift box there is a full sized Morning Time Cleanser, a 50ml Cleansing Balm and a new muslin cloth.

Even though I’ve adored Eve Lom for longer than I would like to admit, I’d never come across the Morning Time Cleanser – I’ve only ever used the Cleansing Balm, so I was super excited to try my new find! I kind of expected a light, foaming cleanser, but instead, the Morning Time Cleanser is a lighter, simpler version of the Cleansing Balm.

Packaged in an easy to use squeeze tube, it keeps the cleanser super hygienic, and you only need to use a pea size amount every morning. After dampening my skin, I massage the formula into my face, allowing it to turn into a something of a cleansing oil. It emulsifies incredibly easily, and the delicate herbal scent is a lovely, soothing way to start the morning. Since the formula isn’t foaming, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped after I’ve washed it off, instead my skin just feels incredibly clean and nourished.

At nights, I’ve been relishing in my 50ml tub of Eve Lom Cleanser. My mother has bought this somewhat religiously since the nineties, and I’ve stollen rather a lot of the stuff over the years.

The iconic balm was really one of the first cleansing balms, and it’s truly incredible! When I get in, I warm a little of the balm between my fingers, then spread it all over my face. It’s pretty insane stuff – no makeup stands a chance (not even mascara) and I can remove all the day’s grime with a couple of strokes. The cleanser has a heavenly herbal scent which is the perfect way to de-stress! If I have some spare time, I smooth a little over cleansed skin, and leave it on whilst I enjoy a hot bath – my pores open up and it’s like having a facial!

When you remove the cleanser using one of Eve Lom’s muslins, it feels like you’re in a high end spa. The texture of the cloth gently exfoliates the skin whilst the balm works to cleanse and tone the skin. The balm is perfect if you have sensitive or clogged skin which needs a little TLC in the new year.

The Perfect Partners Set costs £75.00 and is available here UK and here (US)
