No7 Brush Cleanser First Impressions Review

For some time now, beauty companys have released brush cleansers such as the clarisonic skin cleaning brush. I know clarisonic has released two brushes called Mia which has become popular. Then there are other brands which are starting to catch on that the clarisonic's skin cleaning kit is a hit in the beauty community.

I little while ago, I went into Boots and wandered over to the no7 counter and saw they had their own version of the Clarisonic Mia but cheaper. It was around £30 so it wasnt as expensive as the Clarisonic. However the quality might be different since it is a lot cheaper, so I bought it a couple of weeks ago just to try out a brush cleanser.

I have just started trying it out this morning, and thought I might as well do a first impressions review just to let you know my intial thoughts of this product.

So as I said I used it for the first time this morning, and I used the Soap And Glory Peaches And Clean to work with the no7 brush. First of as always I used water to wet my face before hand. Then pumped out 2 lots of the Peaches And Clean cleanser and spread that evenly, on my face so that the brush had something to work with. On this brush there are two power settings, I used the first power setting which is a slow moving setting. I put the brush under the tap for a couple of seconds and started using the brush to cleanse my face.

At first, the brush seemed really harsh and rough on the face which made it a bit painful cleansing the whole of my face. I thought it would be soft and gentle but no it was quite harsh. I dont know if this is because the quality might not be as good as the Clarisonic since it is cheaper. But it seemed harsh for the skin, so I might not consider using this every morning and night.

I would not recommend for people who have very sensitive skin since this would damage the skin a lot more and could be painful in use. Overall this brush did the job by rubbing in the cleanser into my skin but it feels very rough and harsh which might put me off using the brush all the time.

Upcoming Make-up Products For The Next Few Months

So i did one of these type of posts a long time ago and i thought i might as well do another one. These will be the upcoming make-up products that which be launching in the UK in the next couple of months. Some will be high brand and some wont be. These are the products that will be coming out very soon -

Topshop will be launching another glitter nail polishes in their make-up range. They do have a collection of glitter nail polishes (only 3) but they have never done a purple glitter nail polishes before. This is all going to change on the 21st March 2012 when they are going to be releasing a new colour called razzmatazz and razzmatazz will be a purple glitter top coat which can be used over other nail polishes.

Benefit has been releasing a lot of brand new products lately and they still keep on coming. The next product coming out is a liquid bronze highlighter. This is a first for benefit and it will join the liquid highlighter collection they have already which is highbeam and moonbeam. Sunbeam will be launched in June which will be ready for the summer and will compliments all skin tones. This can be mixed with moisturiser or foundation to make it less pigmented and can be used as an all over warm glow ready for the summer.

Collection 2000 are bringing out a new mascara called Multiplier mascara( Love the name). The multiplier has been developed to bring 14 times more volume to the lashes to create a wide-eyed look. The mascara is priced at £4.99 and is available at superdrug and boots stores nationwide on March 17 2012.

Last up is a limited edition collection by Boots No7 for the summer. The collection has been created by lisa eldridge and is called the Summer of dreams collection. I also love this name, it gives a nice feel to the collection and already interests me. The collection includes a bronzer (£13), glitter top coats in gold and silver (£8 each) a set of four eye crayons in Metallic Bronze, Hazy, Green, Cornflour Blue and Metallic Grey(£13) and lastly a Nourishing Lip shine glosses in Pink and Peach (£10.50 each). All these products sounds interesting and i might have to buy the bronzer and the glitter top coats.
