Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 Cleanser Review

I got this cleanser in the British Beauty Blogger BBB Edit Box and was looking forward to trying it out as I have read some great reviews.

It is a 3-in-1 cleanser and is described on Philosophy's website - our award-winning daily facial skin cleanser is formulated to gently cleanse, tone and melt away all face and eye makeup in one simple step, while lightly hydrating the skin.
The cleanser is light cream coloured and the consistency of shampoo.  It claims to be suitable for all skintypes.  90ml retails for £8.00 here.

I'm afraid I didn't get on with this product, it did remove my makeup well but I found it left my skin feeling very tight and dry and not at all hydrated.

I have normal skin which does tend to lean towards being dry around this time of year as the weather gets cooler.

I have used up all the bottle but I wouldn't repurchase so it's a thumbs down from me!

Have you tried this? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

British Beauty Blogger BBB Edit Box

When Mez from Mez Made Up posted the details of this limited edition beauty box from British Beauty Blogger I knew I had to get my mitts on one! 

The box cost £15.00 plus postage & packing, which is an absolute bargain.  There was a limited quantity of 500 boxes which sold out within hours.
I have not been excited about a beauty box for a long, long time and this has to be the best box EVER!  Look at all those fabulous beauty goodies.
The box also contained a leaflet with an explanation of each product, along with some discount codes, promotional leaflets and a sachet of Lanolips.

I received my box last Saturday and as I was going through the contents I realised I was missing the Bioeffect Serum.  I emailed the customer service address on Saturday afternoon not expecting a response until Monday but I got one later on the Saturday afternoon! They sent me the serum and I got it on Thursday.  Can't fault the customer service one bit!

I am so excited to try all the items in the box, there is nothing that I won't try and I can't remember the last time I got a beauty box where I was happy with all the contents! 

Jane has said she will be doing a box for Christmas and I will definitely be getting one, I can't wait to see whats in it! 

Did you manage to get one of these boxes?
