El's Beauty Bazaar

When I was in Superdrug a few weeks ago I saw this on my way to the check out and completely jumped at the chance to finally try out the craze that has swept the blogging world. This is my first product from the B. range at Superdrug and I'm already impressed. I didn't know what to expect from micellar water, having never tried one before, but I have found it pretty effective so far. I use this as my first cleanse to get rid of any initial make-up and impurities that are on my skin before I go onto wash my face with a liquid gel cleanser. I literally sweep this over my face with a cotton pad and its extremely effective at getting rid of most make up. It isn't amazing with waterproof mascara so I do end up using my bi- phase eye make-up remover to get rid of any remaining mascara, but on the days when I haven't gone for the water proof stuff it's perfect. To be honest though, apart from Boots No.7 Beautiful Skin Eye Make-up Remover I haven't yet found anythi

So today whilst I was in Tesco I decided to jump on the coconut water bandwagon. I know the blogging world and celebrities have been on this for a while but I had never actually had the inclination to try it until I saw it today. The reason coconut water has become so popular in the celebrity world is because of its low calorie content (18 calories per 100ml) and there are supposedly a number of other health benefits you can gain from drinking coconut water. It is apparently the choice of beverage for those who are dieting and those wishing to "hydrate naturally" after a particularly heavy work out at the gym. Due to the high levels of magnesium and potassium found in the water this can apparently help the body to recover quicker after exercise. I didn't try it after I had been to the gym I drank it as opposed to my normal bottle of water, to shake things up a bit, crazy! (it isn't intended to replace you daily water intake) and have to say I actually quite enjoy

I promise you this post isn't sponsored by Garnier! It just so happens that these are the two products I love during the summer months. During summer it's essential to keep moisturised to maintain the summer glow that you may have acquired from going abroad (or this year from the gorgeous weather we've had in the UK!) and the Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days is perfect for hydrating thirsty skin, whilst the Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun is brilliant for maintaining your tan.  Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days  The reason I love this product so much is because it is such a light moisturiser. It's very easily absorbed and leaves your skin feeling beautifully soft. The light scent you get from the Shea Butter isn't heavy and doesn't linger which I quite like in a moisturiser so it doesn't affect the scent of my perfume. I'm unsure as to it's 7 day moisturising claim as I have never actually gone a week without using this product but there has been

Hi Everyone! So this is the first thing I have ever written on a blog. In fact, it is the first thing I have ever posted on the internet which has not involved a 140 character limit or been through the medium of a status update.  It has taken me a fair while to get round to creating one, what with me thinking one thing and another, however I've finally got here and thus El's Beauty Bazaar has been created! Over the past few months I have become increasingly interested in the world of blogging particularly with blogs concerned with all things beauty. So after reading the brilliant insights everyone had to offer on everything beauty related I decided that I wanted to join in with the opinions too! I can't wait to share some of my opinions and reviews on products that I love or maybe hate...with those who are just as obsessed with the world of beauty as I am. I'm really excited to hear from all other beauty bloggers out there and can't wait to start posting some
