The World's Best Cleanser!?

It's a pretty damn big claim to make - but Vogue UK went there describing the EVE LOM Cleanser as the "best cleanser in the world."

This amazing pack was my Christmas present from my boyfriend (who, I might add, went in to Mecca Cosmetica all by himself to find this for me). 

It features the hero products from the EVE LOM skincare range, including the legendary and cult Cleanser, Morning Time Cleanser, Rescue Mask, Kiss Mix Balm and Muslin Cloth.

For those of you who haven't heard of EVE LOM, her skincare philosophy is based around creating perfectly glowing skin by effective cleansing and exfoliating. 

The skincare regime is designed to be used in either 2 ways - if you have blotchy, congested and/or erupted skin it is recommended to follow Eve's 7 Steps for Beautiful Skin twice a week. But if you're already blessed with clear skin it's recommended just to skip straight to step 7. 

RR Tip: If you ever plan to have a facial at the EVE LOM London Salon, you may want to book ahead as waiting lists average at least 3 months!

So what did I think?

Morning Time Cleanser:

 This cleanser comes out like a balm consistency and after heating it up between your fingers for a few seconds it melts down to an oil form which makes it easy to apply to the skin.

The smell is very herbal and refreshing which I assume they were trying to go with for the morning cleanser as it is designed to 'wakeup' your skin.

Leave it on for 2-3 minutes and wash off with warm water. I noticed my skin looked clean and felt really refreshed and not tight or stiff at all, which a lot of harsh cleanses do when they strip your natural oils.

Rescue Mask:

I applied the Rescue Mask to dry skin after washing the Morning Cleanser off.

This clay mask can be used as an all over face mask, a spot treatment or even watered down can be used as an under-eye treatment to lend a hand to puffy, tired eyes.

The mask smells a little minty which I liked and dried without the (horrible) stiff feeling that comes along with most clay masks.

Leave on for 15-20 minutes and wash off with warm water and the muslin cloth - my skin felt extremely soft and clean! Love this product!

Kiss Mix: 

This minty and refreshing lip balm helps with chapped lips and would be a great nighttime treatment for people who wake up in the morning with dry lips. 

Great to apply before you start doing your makeup so by the time you get to lips it has sunk in and worked its magic!

And last but not least the cleanser...

Using this cleanser was, in one word - luxurious. 

There is nothing more disappointing than when a product, loved all over the world by many doesn't live up to the hype when you try it... I definitely didn't have this problem, thank god!

After following the 7 steps, which include a facial pressure point massage, the process is finished off by soaking a muslin cloth in hot water and placing it over your face. Releasing the essential oils in the cleanser this is an extremely relaxing regime. 

 RR Tip: When cleansing your face, try using a muslin cloth instead of a flannel - they are far more efficient and the grain is used as a natural exfoliant.

End Result?

  

Over all EVE LOM Skincare does exactly what it says it does - create a simple yet effective regime based around well cleansed skin.

The white, heavy packaging and luxurious feel and smell of each of these products instantly creates a spa in your own home, all you need to do is light a candle (I recommend Archipelago Botanicals Home Soy Wax Candle in Caramel), put on your favourite tune and skip the 3 month waiting list! 

EVE LOM is available at Mecca Cosmetica in store and online here.
