Lately I have been really conscious of what kind of products I have been putting on my skin and what kind of harsh chemicals that they might contain. In one of my previous blog posts I told you all about the Byphasse skin care products that I use and I really do love them. However, being the makeup geek that I am I tend to wear a lot of it and I need something that is going to remove it and clean it away from my pores. For this I started to do some research into products called 'Cold Creams' , Cold creams are supposed to remove makeup and smooth out the skin soothing and cleansing it. The cream is supposed to be deep cleansing, getting rid of the dirt within the pores.
I had heard a lot about the Lush cosmetics Ultrabland facial cleanser/cold cream. Lush says that the product is based on the Ancient Greek's cold cream formula which has very simple ingredients such as almond oil, rose water, beeswax, Iris extract and honey. Almond oil is known to hydrate the skin, Rose water is known to calm, soothe and tone the skin. Honey is known to be a natural antiseptic and is great for acne suffers. Lush claims that any dirt will cling to this cream there for removing it from the pores which is great, but still leaving your skin with all of its natural oils and defenses.
How I used this product:
I only used a tiny amount of the product. It is very thick and creamy and a little definitely goes along way. I put a small dot of the product on my cheeks, forehead and chin. Straight onto my my makeup, I didn't wet my face or anything before hand as there is no need too. I then just messaged the product into my skin.
The product comes across as oily at first but once you message it into the face it gives a more silkier texture. People with oily skin shouldn't be put of by this.
I usually only use eye makeup removed for my eyes as I find them very sensitive and usually facial products really sting and irritate them. This product was the complete opposite I didn't feel anything when using this on my eyes. In fact I was able to really get into my eyes removing all of my eye makeup including water proof mascara and liquid eyeliner which is usually very hard to remove. The makeup literally just melted of my face. It was amazing and actually so quick I was so surprised, especially with my eyes because they usually take a bit of time to come off. My face looked just like a gigantic mess with black and brown slapped around on it, beautiful. As you can see from the picture below you don't look that great while its coming off haha! Let it sit on the face for a minute or two.

Then too removed it you can ether use a clean face cloth and warm water or use a toner. I opted for my regular Byphasse toner (details in previous post) to remove it with some cotton pads. It just all slid off my face and left my face feeling fresh. In future I am going to try some rose water as a toner to remove it as rose water is a great natural toner for the face.
What I thought of the product: My first impressions of this product is just love. It removed my make up so so so easily I can't stress that enough. Previous to this I had been just using 'Simple' makeup wipes which are quick and handy to keep beside your bed at night but they never left my face feeling as fresh as the ultra bland did and they actually didn't even remove my makeup as quickly as the ultrabland. I was only given a tester from Lush but I will be definitely be buying this product in the future. My skin feels so soft, smooth and fresh and glowing after using it. I feel like it the best thing I have done for my skin. After using it for a few days I know I will never go back to regular makeup wipes to remove my makeup. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone. They only negative I have about the product which I hate to say but unlike any of the other Lush products the smell isn't the nicest thing in the world don't get me wrong it isn't horrible just in comparison to the other products. This is still a plus for me, because it insures me there is no added perfume or chemicals to make the smell artificial. On a final note BUY IT! I promise you wont regret it.
