Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review...

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - Boots £4.99

I had many other posts I had planned to do and then I bought Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and felt compelled to bump it straight to the top of my review list. I have never used a cleansing water yet have seen the hype around Bioderma. I never bought it as didn't want to fall in love with something that I wouldn't be able to replace.

You get a whopping 400ml and the bottle feels large in your hand giving you the feeling like that you are getting value for money. I have been very liberal in my use of this because of that fact even to bottle boasts 200 uses.  My first impressions were WOW how can something which looks and feels like water really remove my make-up so effortlessly including waterproof mascara! There was no stinging, tingling, panda eyes or a greasy residue in sight. It made removing make-up a pleasure not a chore as sad as it is I was looking forward to using it again the next evening. I bought the Boots large face cotton wool pads to use with this and find them a perfect partnership.

I am someone where even when a product states no need to rinse I still have the urge too do so. My skin has been playing up lately in my chin area and honestly I think this cleanser is also helping to sooth any pesky spots and get rid of them. I am hooked on this product and think everybody should try it if you haven't tried a cleansing water. After the first time I used it I text my best friend telling her she has to buy it. I don't know how this compares to Bioderma and it has sparked my curiosity further to see if it really could be any better than the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I'm also happy that it is a purse friendly beauty buy at £4.99. I think I will be buying another to leave at my boyfriends house!

Has anybody else tried this and loved it as much as me?

Cleanse, Polish and Glow.....

I received this as a Christmas present a couple of years ago as I had herd such good things about it from many different sources. I was back home from uni and had forgot my cleanser, I am not a fan of face wipes  as always still feel like I have residue on my face. 


This was in my bathroom so gave it a proper trial for the week. I was blown away, from first use. I have actually seen an instant result to my skin it really did have a glow to it after using.  It easily removed make-up including heavy eye make up.


 I am one of the unlucky ones who Mac studio fix brakes me out though still persist wearing it occasionally.  I had applied it for a night out before coming home from uni and while I did brake out this cleanser after two days had cleared my skin back up and beyond. 


I am lazy and like to wash my face in the shower as it quick and easy.This required more effort as you have to apply to dry skin. However, with the results I am getting I will persist. After finding it so amazing I looked into the ingredients and no wonder its so perfect; 


Chamomile,considered a gentle oil by aromatherapists


Rosemary Essential Oi,  invigorating and stimulating


Cocoa Butter, moisturising effects on the skin


Beeswax, skin protecting properties and helps to relieve chapped skin.


Eucalyptus Essential Oi, decongestant properties 


Hops Extract, astringent and toning properties


On the Liz Earle Website you can purchase it in lots of sizes including a 30ml trial size which I think is a fab idea and wish other companies would do the same. You can also reading over 600 reviews and see numerous awards. They clearly believe in their products and I am not surprised. Very tempted to try out some of their other skin care. 


Has anyone else tried anything by Liz Earle, what did you think?

March favourites :) Part 1 skin care

So we are 3 months into the yr which is 2010 and already there has been many hyped up beauty products which I'm sure many have brought into, me included. So here is was I have been loving this month in the world of skin care and make up.


First is skin care

from left to right

• This is the scrublet that comes with the l'oreal cleanser and while I didn't rate that, I do love the "scrubblet" that came with it and wish they sold these separately. I feel that it makes my cleanser work harder and really gets all my make up off and works down into the pores while gently exfoliating. I do know that soap & glory sell a similar face massager so I might have to purchase one of those when my L'oreal one gets mucky.
  
• DR Nick Lowe , spot treatment gel is AMAZING it has cleared the brake outs on my chin like nothing else has ever done before, I will defiantly be purchasing a full size when the sample runs out.
  
• Superdrug vitamin E illuminating moisturising cream, I have been using the everyday under my foundation and really really rate this product so much that I did a rave review on it. click here to check out the review.
  
• Garnier pure active deep poor unclogging wash, I picked up this as my spots on my chin have gone but there marks still remain this product promises to fade them and so far I can see a slight improvement even after 2 weeks.

Part to will follow shortly

haul 8.....final

I have been meaning to put this up for a while, here is my small haul from last week :) This will be the last haul for, fingers crossed, 30days and counting i am going to go on project bathroom again for the second time this year after failing miserably as the beginning of the yr. So expect lot of reviews to be coming up. I think i might save the packaging and show you all what i have used up therefore i can track my progress ( even if it is slow) while giving my opinion.

so for the last time here is was i picked up in Boots the other day ( saying this saddens me)

• Tresemme hair spray volume & lift , good for back combing hair on a night out £3 on offer at Boots.
• Clearasil over night was , 2 for £7.50 at Boots
• Clearasil over night serum , 2 for $7.50 at Boots
• No.7 calm skin balm picked up with N0.7 voucher, this is my third bottle of this i love it and is a staple in my skin care regime.

so that is my final haul for 30days, i think i am already 4days in and so far so good, wish me luck :)

new skin care routine!

Nothing has cleared the brake outs on my chin and they were really starting to annoy me so i decided to completely change my skin care. Boots were doing an offer which enabled me to get this complete skin care routine from Dr Nick Lowe for about £8. you also got a nice travel case as a bonus! They are obviously travel sizes but what a great way to test it out. what was inside...

• purifying foam cleanser 50ml
• sebum control toner 50ml
• oil control day cream 2ml
• spot gel 5ml

I really wish i had taken an before and after picture of my chin because it has made such a dramatic difference. I have been applying the spot gel to my chin before bed each night after i have cleansed and toned and now my brake out has almost completely cleared up!!! The next challenge is if it stays clear and when i next have a brake out but I will 100% repurchase the spot gel when it runs out.

I will give an update between 2 weeks and a months time :) fingers crossed xXx

beauty innovative

I stumbled across this advert in cosmopolitan and was instantly intrigued as there is no way i can splash out on the clarisonic, the "scrublet" promises a deep pore, 360 degree cleans. It comes in normal/combination skin and then there is a pink creamier one for dry/sensitive skin and there is also a scrub for all skin types which is orange in colour.

It retails for under £5 and I am interested to try this.
Has anybody elce???

I just hope I am not as disappointed with this as I was with the neutrogena wave.
