English Rose Cosmetics Review

English Rose Cosmetics have great packaging. The right amount of kitsch and glamour. All inspired by women living in war-torn Britain in the 1940s and how they managed to look glamorous despite having limited resources. Founder of English Rose Cosmetics, Karin McKay, drew on her 16 years of experience to create the brand. She choose ingredients that are proven to work.

We reviewed two of the products from the range.

Daily Defence Moisturiser.

This moisturiser has a wonderful texture, it is a cream but is gel like. It is very refreshing to put on and melts into the skin. It makes my skin look instantly radiant and it smells great. Long term it improves skin, making it look loved and more youthful. What more could you want?

This lovely refreshing gel like moisturiser plumps out fine lines and wrinkles whilst intensely moisturising.  Skin is protected from free radicals and shielded from allergens and pollutants and helps reduce redness caused in inflammation.

Cocoa Ration Body Butter

This body butter is the way body butter should be. It is thick and takes a while to massage in. It smells great and improves skin tone. Even on the first use. It has cocoa, shea and avocado: all brilliant ingredients that really make a difference to skin. What’s more, it only costs £10. I know that is not cheap, but for what it is and how long it lasts it is worth it. A good product. I loved it.

Skin is intensely moisturised by penetrating and calming Cocoa, Shea & Avocadol , leaving a velvety after feel with natural vanilla fragrance.  Highly recommended for sensitive, irritated skin that needs calming.  As shea and cocoa butter melt at skin temperature, we recommend warming a dollop between your palms before applying.

Time traveller photographed at 1940’s bridge opening

There are many things I don’t know about time travel, for example, are you allowed to keep your clothes and if you step on a butterfly will you loose a limb instantaneously or will you gradually fade whilst holding a photograph of you and your siblings from your childhood…?

This photograph; which was part of the Bralorne-Pioneer: Their Past Lives Here Exhibition is exhibited at the Virtual Museum of Canada.

Of course you can see the guy that’s got the Internet in a tizzy, he sticks out like an eccentric at a 1940’s bridge re-opening. Could the fedora-less man in modern looking clothes really be a time traveller? If so, why would he choose to travel to a bridge re-opening in a sleepy mining town in Canada as opposed to a monumentally historic moment or a lively party he once read about.

There’s alot of analysis on forgetomori and more facetious analysis on fark.

So what do you think? Is this guy a time traveller?

If he really is a time traveller I’d be fine with that. What concerns me is that if this man genuinely was a man of his time dressing like a “hipster” and attending small town ceremonies then does that mean that today’s fashion eccentrics will be looked upon as ahead of their time when their photographs are seen by a future generation?
