Simple‘s Moisturising Foaming Facial Wash (now Kind to Skin Moisturising Foaming Facial Wash) has been my choice of face wash for about three years now. Today I am reviewing a new face wash from the brand.
Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser comes in a clear liquid form and uses a foaming pump dispenser. The foam is soft and frothy, not dense and creamy (even after working it on the palms).

When it comes to cleansing and toning, Liz Earle‘s product recommendations are very straightforward. The brand only features one cleanser, Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, and one toner, Instant Boost Skin Tonic. Today I am highlighting the toner.

Joining the winter sale madness, I stopped by Paul & Joe at Harrods and Fenwick a couple of days ago. (Paul & Joe’s sale items are usually recently discontinued products, soon-to-be discontinued products, and surplus stock, and they are usually (almost always) 50% off their full retail prices. (Have a look at this post for more information on seasonal sales on cosmetics in the UK.))
All the items I got this time are 50% off retail prices. I would not have purchased these items at their full prices (possibly with the exception of the Body Milk), but, with the considerable discounts, I was very happy to bring home and try these products:
(Towards the end of this post, there is a list of items that I remember are on sale in Harrods and Fenwick.)

Neutrogena‘s new Multi-Defence skincare range claims to combat what the brand calls the five key environmental aggressors that can damage the skin: sun, pollution, cold, heat, and wind. The range currently features 6 products: 3 day moisturisers (Dry & Sensitive SPF 15, Normal to Combination SPF 15, and All Skin Types SPF 25), Night Moisturiser (All Skin Types), Gentle Purifying Scrub and Gentle Purifying Wipes. Today I am highlighting Daily Moisturiser for All Skin Types SPF 25 and Night Moisturiser for All Skin Types.

It has been a long time since the last Japanese Cosmetics Focus post, and today I bring you Watosa.
Watosa is one of the brands that I mentioned in my post If I Could Go to Japan RIGHT NOW. Many years ago, I spotted some Watosa items in a beauty boutique in Hong Kong after seeing them on a few Japanese magazines, and I thought I had to leave the store with something. I decided to go for Lipstick in 210 Metropolis Mauve. It is a deep plum mauve with a satiny finish. The paper packaging features the brand’s signature stripy patterns.
