Liz Earle blogger event and review

Hey ladies

I was extremely lucky enough to be invited to The Liz Earle Christmas wreath making workshop at their flagship store in London. With only 8 people invited to each event I really chuffed to be one of them.

Look at the pretty shop


The Spa
The store has a couple of lovely spa rooms which is definitely somewhere I will be visiting:


Lots of pretty products:


I was very nervous as this was my first event but I should not have worried as everyone was so lovely. During the course of the evening we were given lovely mulled wine and mini mince pies.

The lovely ladies:
Andrea Kengelbacher (LE), Katherine (Blog Natural Beautee), Jennifer Hirsch (LE Botanical Research Manager), Meeee, Cristina Garcia-Vince (LE Learning and Development Advisor),
Louise Murray (LE)


Me with Jennifer


Me and Christina


The event was to launch a new product to the range and one I was especially excited about as it is something I mentioned in my last review that I would like to see added to the collection. I like to think they made it all for meeeeee lol (not really).

Drum roll please - It was the Liz Earle Energising Body Lotion.

As a hardcore fan of the whole range I was not disappointed. The lotion is from my favourite collection the ENERGISING range so if you love the whole fresh spa scent you will not be disappointed.

I am really funny about body lotions as I find lots of them make me feel clammy and sticky which is is never nice and butters can be to thick. I have very dry skin and really want the nice dewy look so I feel like I spend my life trying to find the perfect moisturiser.

WOW I think I have found it. I seriously love this product. After using the moisturiser just once I could see a difference straight away. Especially when I used the Energising body scrub and body wash. You can smell the wonderful fresh aromas of Damask rose, flower water and sweet orange all over the house.

I would say there is only one downside!!!! If you have a partner they will STEEL all of it so hide it lol!!! I have to say it is really starting to annoy me that hubby loves it so much as it is very much a unisex scent so he takes it upon himself to use my nice smelly products!! The only good thing is he can't deny it as you can smell it as it lingers on your skin and all over the house which is lovely. I think he needs to buy his own don't you!!! lol

The lotion is not out for sale until 28 December but go check it out as it is now in my essentials list. You can purchase Liz Earle products from a number of different locations:

I was also very excited as I was given a goodie bag which contained:

♥ Energising body wash
♥ Energising body scrub
♥ Body brush
♥ Note pad


My goodies and wreath


I was also sent through their first perfume in the range to review

Liz Earle Botanical Essence eau de parfum No 1


Firstly I love the packing, the bottle is very classy but simple all at the same time. I have to say it is not a scent that I would generally choose as I tend to wear men's aftershave such as Abercrombie and Hollister. It is very fresh and nice for every day but I would personally say it is nicer for someone older. I let some peeps in the office have a smell and funnily men seemed to like it more which is interesting. So if you are trying to reel in a man this one could be for you lol....

So ladies sorry for such a LOONNNGGG post but if you are looking for a fresh new range to try definitely check it out. I will continue to use Liz's products and can't wait to try even more products from the range.

Finally I would like to say thank you to all the ladies from the event for inviting me and all my goodies but mostly for being so warm and welcoming.

Liz Earle - Shampoo and Conditioner review

Evening petals

Last month I was contacted by the lovely Laura from Liz Earle to see if I would be interested in reviewing some Shampoo's and Conditioner's. The haircare range is new to Liz Earle and was only launched last month.

As a HUGE Liz Earle fan I jumped at the chance.



Firstly I need to apologise for not posting this review sooner. The reason is that I normally have hair extensions (the bonded kind) and have to be careful what I put on them as most products can melt the bonds. I have temporary had my extensions taken out for a few weeks :o(. Before using them on my natural hair I was trying these products on just the ends of my hair but I wanted to use them all over to make sure I did a proper review.

So here is the review:




Firstly I loved the bottles. They were nice and large and I do love a substantial squeezy bottle lol!!!

The first thing you will notice if you use these products is the oh so yummy smell. The shampoo was truly lush. It reminds me of oranges and I think it is similar to one of the shower gels in her range Orange Flower Botanical body wash which also smells amazing.

The shampoo lathered up really well and made my hair feel so clean. I did not think the conditioner would do very much as it was not very thick as I am used to very thick conditioners. However it was perfect for my tiny fine hair as it was not to heavy.

When I went to work today for the great unveiling of my new hair style :o( I was told my hair looked very glossy and healthy.

These bottles retail at £7.50 for 200ml bottles but they last forever,(if you don't have a hubby trying to steel them that is!). They are slightly more expensive than your average chemist brands but loads cheaper than you salon ranges. There are currently 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners in her range. I went for the normal/all hair types.

I would definitely be purchasing these again as my hair smelt lovely, was shiny and squeaky clean....

Let me know if you have also tried anything by Liz Earle - I think her range is fantastic. If you want to check out Liz's range you can either shop on line at:

Or if you fancy shopping in store John Lewis now stock Liz's range

I love Liz Earle

Hey guys

Well this little post is all about the fantastic skin care range Liz Earle. I have been using these products for about 8 years on and off and they are always ones that I skip back to in between trying new things.

In case you have not heard of them the company is based in the Isle of Wight and I think they have been around for around 15 years. They are into natural ingredients and no testing on animals which is fantastic. You can buy all there products from there own website or I get mine from good old QVC, (if any of you regularly read my blog you will see I LOVE QVC lol)!!

Neway enough of my waffling. This kit was one of the TSVs (Today's Special Value) which basically means it was at a mega low price for one day only.

I think I paid about £35 (but can't remember sorry) but it was worth way more than that. They have some fab kits for you to try and if you are a newbie some fantastic travel and trial kits on both web sites.

My kit contained 9 pieces + muslin cloths:

Foot scrub
Foot repair moisturiser

Energising body wash
Energising body scrub

Cleanse and polish (the product that launched the brand)
Skin repair moisturiser
Instant boost skin tonic
Eye bright
Daily eye repair

Full kit


Feet
I had never tried Liz's foot range and I have to say I was pretty impressed. It had a minty smell which I am totally not a fan of but it was not overpowering as it also had a spa fragrance mixed in as well. My feet were starting to resemble horse shoes so I used a ped egg first then soaked them with some bubbles then scrubbed all the nasty stuff away. I then popped on the moisturiser and it felt like a brand new pair of feet. I would say if you did this once a week you would have lovely little twinkle toes in no time...


Bod
I love this range, like seriously love it. The smell is like a real high end spa. The scrub is probably the best I have used. I am gutted I don't have a moisturiser at the moment as that just finishes everything off nicely. I always notice a difference straight away with her body products.

Face
I tend to try and have the cleanse and polish, moisturiser and face toner at home at all times. This is a fantastic quick routine and really does the job. It makes you feel lovely and clean. Again the products smell fantastic. I will be honest I never really know what to do with the eye bright and do use the eye creams as I am getting old and wrinkly but I have yet to notice any difference.

All in all I would def try any of Liz's products. Her range is growing all the time, she has just introduced a hair range and now has her own perfume. I have tons of other products of hers that I use on a regular basis. The prices are all really reasonable and like I said if you keep checking out QVC web site you will see lots of fantastic kits. If you don't like them simply send them back within 30 days for a refund so you have nothing to loose. Simples!
