REVIEW TIME! purity facewash

righty lets get down to business, I am not one to ramble on about packaging so lets cut to the chase

I would say this facewash has given me the most satisfaction out of other facewashes I have ever used in my product bingeing years which has resulted in a large range of facewashes ending up in the bathroom and that includes high end brands like clinique and nars etc. So this facewash boasts to be a 3 in 1 cleanser in that it "replaces your make up remover,eye make remover and facial cleanser and toner". does it do this? to put it simply it does this more than any other product out there that I have ever used and it is true I would normally have to use two or three cleaning products to achieve these same results i get with this one.

SO THE SMELL is lovely, it smells floral and green at the same time and when your in the shower and its steamy and you release this smell on your face its very therapeutic and refreshing, this is most likely because it contains essential oils such as rosewood oil and sandalwood oil. The thing that impressed me most about this facewash was the long list of natural ingredients and magical sounding ones such as pelargonium graveolens flower oil and amyris balsamifera bark oil! I know my skin feels happy since I have started using this and because it has so many oils in it feels moisturising but still leaves my skin clean.

It does remove all of my make up but sometimes with my eye make up I will have to go over it with a seperate eye make up remover if I have gone to town on the mascara and also used the benefits gel pen liner thing which is very stubborn to remove.

This product is on the pricey side it around £18 for 240 mls BUT a little goes a long way and it does three jobs in one! I use mine with the foreo luna mini which I will review soons!

My skin type is oily combo, but when I say oily its like im the queen of grease, its urgh I know but this product hasnt made me break out AND I feel like it has maybe slightly decreased the grease, if anything I think it did a good job of calming down my period hormonal spots, so anyway its worked for my skin type, but I am aware that some people have broken out from this product so if you still really would like to give it a try then get a sample or you can buy the smaller bottle for eighthundredpence.

TARAAH for now

the beginning...

So here I am in my messy room feeling extremely hormonal and just spent the last hour crying because  I cant find my scarf my soft one from hnm, and then eating nutella whilst watching brave! and so i decided it was time to stop being a wastegal and do what I have been wanting to do for a while and that was to start a blog about being an irregular average normally insane girl in this strange cray world. This blog may be an epic fail but thats okay its my space to write about anything and that feels kinda cool i feel like Ive just bought a house in blog avenue, and I hope to make friends with the neighbourhood.

In this here blog I will write about just about anything, Mainly my reviews on make up and beauty products, toiletries im a self confessed product junkie, my cat, my favourite food and also talk about the highs and lows of being a paediatric nurse which is a big part of my life, I still to this day struggle to work in the nhs but its given me life experience which I know I could not of got in any other walk of life. My biggest passions are fashion and make up. However I never EVER buy magazines i really believe there is enough inspiration in the universe than in a glossy magazine.fashion should be created recycled not necessarily always followed, I mostly shop in highstreet shops and like what other people create I would just want to create something I feel that the fashion world lacks and that is for it be ethical, to embrace cultures and leave beautiful undefined. Everyday at work I find myself thinking about selling my own dresses made and sourced from tropical countries where fabric looks colourful and unique
. Anyway I wonder if anyone will read this....its all very exciting!
