This weeks Geeeky Guest, Elizabeth, spends her time between her luscious Chelsea apartment and her two adopted homes – Selfridges and Liberty’s. In fact, she might as well live in a department store. She is no wallflower when it comes to beauty products, she knows what she wants and won’t stop at anything to find it. One product she cannot live without, like me, is her Eve Lom Cleanser. Over to you Elizabeth…
The cleanser is used differently to those general foaming wash products. Eve Lom is a balm consistancy and very easy to apply to the face. It comes with a muslin cloth which I heat in a basin of very hot water and hold to my make-up covered face to bring out the impurities in the skin. The smell of the aromatic oils in the product begins to hit you once the face is heated (its very relaxing). I repeat this process of heating three times, before using the muslin to remove all remaining cleanser. It’s a very effective yet uncomplicated cleansing routine. All my make up (there is a lot), mascara (also a lot of that), and all that London grime is lifted away. My skin is left fresh and blooming with radiance. Just Perfect. Almost certainly, much like other Eve Lom addicts (including many celebs, Madonna, Gwenyth Paltrow and Kate Hudson), I like to persuade myself that the 200ml pot at £78 is worth it. There is a smaller size pot at £48 – but yes still very pricey. Many beauty specialist do insist that cleansing is the most important part of any beauty routine, so i am just taking their advice here and investing in my skin (so i tell my credit card).
I really do believe the Eve Lom Cleanser is the most glorious cleanser on the market. It’s my one big ridiculous beauty luxury that I allow myself, I think I would go without most things in my beauty closet to make sure I always had a supply of Eve Lom!
