Excited Screech: Eve Lom Launches New Morning Time Cleanser

While Eve Lom's iconic cleanser is one of my truly madly deeply can't live without beauty bits, I do gripe at using it for anything other than makeup removal at night. After all, it is very dear, and its powers are wasted for use in the morning time, I reckon. In fact, a lot of the the time in the AM I just wash my face in the shower and don't really properly 'cleanse' at all - if I'm congestion-y or spotty, I might add a gel cleanser at this point but I rarely deep-cleanse twice a day.

Apparently it's struck Eve Lom that I might not be the only one saving up her unctious potion for night time, because the brand has just launched a Morning Time Cleanser, €39 for 125ml, exclusively at Space NK. Created in homage to its big sister, Eve Lom cleanser, this one is also a balm - but a lighter version that doesn't require the use of a muslin cloth.

Containing a blend of aromatic hops, eucalyptus, Egyptian chamomile, clove oil and papaya fruit enzyme, this cleanses and gently exfoliates. You're recommended to leave it on for two minutes and then wash off. I'm guessing that, while this has got a much more attractive price-point than the balm that inspired it, the 'morning' dedication means you won't be able to use it for makeup removal in case you wanted to buy it as a one-size-fits-all cleanser. We'll try to get hold of one to to test, naturally!
