Review || PS... PRO Mattifying Primer






Hello Beauties, 

I have another primer review for you guys! Last friday I talked about the PS... PRO Miracle Primer. If missed it then you can check it out here - Full Review. The primer I am talking about today is the second one that they carry in their line. Although I did spot on Instagram that they have now brought out an illuminating primer too. This one, however their Mattifying primer. As I have normal to dry skin I wasn't that sure about how I would feel about it but I decided to give it a go anyway & at E5 a pop it wasn't exactly breaking the bank if it didn't work out for me. I could just pass it onto to a loved one with oilier skin. 

Here are my thoughts on the PS... PRO Mattifying Primer -




This product like the other primer also contains 30ml of product. It claims absorb excess oil, minimise visable pores & to be lightweight in texture. It says it is suitable for oily & normal / combination skin. As it is winter time & my skin is much drier it's probably not the most suitable for my skin but as the summer rolls in I will get more use out of it.




The product is white in colour & has a siliconey texture. It leaves my skin really smooth and I love the base it gives me for makeup! However as my skin is drier it does suck the moisture out of my skin. I find that after wearing it two/three days in a row my skin feels really dry and gets flaky, 





I will say though I felt like my makeup was bullet proof when I wore this as my base. I really think it would be perfect for summer time, when you are really busy or if you have a big event. I can't wear this on an everyday basis but if I have any weddings or important events coming up I will definitely be using this as my primer cos honey, my makeup will not be going anywhere!!

I can't say how this performs on oily/combo skin but judging by how much it drier my skin out I would say it is worth a try if you are have oil control problems 


Would I recommend this product?

To be honest although I'm glad I have it and would repurchase it if I had an event coming up and I was out of it I still think if you are a normal/dry skin type like me then you probably don't need this in your life as you won't be able to use this on a daily basis, at least not without alot of skincare prep before hand or you will completely dry out your skin. I will be using it again in the summer & I will give you an update on how I get on. However if you are an oiler skin type then this maybe for you I would recommend you check out some other bloggers with an oilier skin type if you want some advice first though. 


Have you tried this product!? What did you think? Do you have an oilier skin type? Did it work for you? Let me know in the comments below! I would love to hear from you!!

Empties #6 (Foundations & Concealers)




Hello my beauties, 

Today I have another empties! If you read my Goals & Resolutions 2017 on my Lifestyle Blog, (If you missed it you can click on the link here - Goals & Resolutions 2017 It will open into another window) then you will know that one of my resolutions is to incorporate minimalism into my life. To do this I am in the process of going through everything I own and deciding what I love & want to keep in my life. This means I have empties that I need to share with you before I can rid of them! 

I also mentioned in Blogmas #5 || Empties (You can click on the link to check it out if you missed it) that my last Empties post was in march so I have a box of stuff which I has just been growing & growing in the past year! I've decided to break them up into categories as, yes, I have that much to get through. Again this will be a long post, grab a cuppa & make yourself comfy!! 

Here go! Lets get started! 

Loreal True Match Foundation

Ok you probably heard me bang on about this foundation enough already. Its my holy grail, I have one on the go at the moment & I have a back up... I may have a problem haha!




Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

This is another fave of mine. I actually didn't know until I went through my empties bin that I had 3 of them! I do really like this foundation though & would repurchase it!



Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This one actually featured in a favourites post for November 2014!! If you would like a throwback then you can check it out here & all the reasons I like it - November Favourites 2014  I don't prefer it to the Loreal True Match or The Rimmel Match Perfection but I would repurchase this product again. 




Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation

This Foundation, along with Loreal True Match & Rimmel Match Perfection were all featured in a Current Top 5 Drugstore / Highstreet Foundations in July 2014! Click here if you want to read a full review on why I like them all - Current Top 5 Drugstore/Highstreet Foundations - July 2014 My feelings have not changed on any of them!!






Me Me Me - Flawless Cream Foundation

In hind-sight I probably didn't give this product a fair test. I've had it for the longest time... probably even before I started blogging & the colour of it was much too dark for me so I just never reached for it. Now it is well out of date. Would I repurchase it again? I don't think so. I mean the couple of times I used it I liked it. Maybe if I could get it in my colour I would give it another go but I'm not pushed. If any of you use this can you please let me know your thoughts in the comments below!





Maxfactor Pan Stik

Ah this is a nostalgia product for me! I think it was probably the first foundation I ever owned or wore (Not this particular tube obviously) Even the smell of this takes me back. I actually hate throwing this away, more of a sentimental value more than anything else but to be honest this is out of date now & even if it wasn't it just doesn't agree with my skin anymore. My skin is way too dry for this product & this product just seems to highlight my dryness & make it worse. Sorry my old friend but you gots to go! Maybe this year I will try a new maxfactor foundation. One that will work with my skin but still have that nostalgic smell!! Let me know your foundation recommendations from this brand down below! 


Essence Stay All Day 16H Concealer

Can you tell I like this product. This product has been featured many times on this blog between favourites & other empties posts. I have been using this product for about 2 years now & I have nothing bad to say about it. It works really well with my skin & highlights well under the eyes. I will say I do not have a huge problem with creasing under the eyes in general but I have never had a problem with this product. This product reminds me a lot of the Collection Perfection Concealer, another firm favourite of mine! I have empties in both the old & the new packaging & I'm currently working my way through a new one at the moment.



Essence Stay Natural Concealer

This is one I would not repurchase again. I thought it was going to be like the Loreal Paris Magique Lumi Concealer or the Maybelline Lumi Concealer but its not at all. Its too dark to highlight for me and the consistancy just isn't the same.




Seventeen Phwoarr Paint

I really liked this product!! I think its great for concealing dark circles!! I'm pretty sure this featured in a favourites post or a current makeup routine post at some stage. This is a product I'm sad to see the back of. I will be repurchasing this at some stage!




NYX HD Concealer

I hauled this about 2 years ago in my first ever NYX haul! I remember being so excited by seeing a NYX stand in Ireland.. roll on 2 years later and we are now lucky enough to have them in almost every town or city! I really liked this concealer. I have heard that it is supposed to be comparable to the NAKED concealers but I have yet to try them! Still though this is a product I would repurchase.


Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

As I have mentioned above, a firm favourite that I will always repurchase! 






There you have it, Concealers & foundations all cleaned out. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these & what were your thoughts. Also let me know if you have any recommendations for new foundations or concealers for me to try out!!

Review - PS...PRO Miracle Primer





Hello Beauties, 


So the quest for the perfect primer continues...

In the winter months I picked up this new primer from the PS... PRO range from Pennys / Primark. I'm always on the look out for new affordable products & I love trying out new primers!! They have brought out two in the range from what I can see at the moment.  

I picked this one up for E5... again another bargain!! Although to be fair a product can only be called a bargain if it performs well! Here are my thoughts -


This product contains 30ml of product & claims to create a smooth flawless finish. It claims to minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines & to be appropriate for all skin types. 

The product is flesh tone in colour and smooth in texture, with a siliconey feel to it. I have normal to dry skin & I found this product worked very well with my skin. It does what it says on the tin, which is it creates a smooth even base for make up application. 

As I have normal to dry skin I can't guarantee that it mattifys the skin or how it would hold up on an oily skin type but yet it doesn't claim to mattify anyway. They have another primer which is a mattifying one available too. I have a full review coming up on that next Friday, so stay tuned for that!  




To be honest I think I have found a dupe with this product. As soon as I tried the tester in the store the first thing it reminded me of was Benefit's Porefessional & I was correct to be honest. For my skin I find no difference between this and the Porefessional apart from the price tag. Although I really enjoy the Porefessional I honestly can't justify buying it for myself any more when this product is available for about a quarter of the price!! The Porefessional may hold up better on oilier skin types but for me I get the exact same results from both!


Would I recommend this product?

100% If you were planning on trying the Porefessional but don't know if you want to invest give this one a go! If you have normal to dry skin like me then you won't be disappointed. I think it provides the perfect base for makeup! I will definitely be repurchasing this product! #winning


Have you tried this product!? What are your thoughts? Do you think it's comparable to Benefit's Porefessional Primer? Leave me a comment & let me know!! I would love to hear your thoughts!!

Review || The Leakey Collection, Marula Facial Oil





Hello there beauties, 

Welcome to my first post of 2017!! I thought I would start the year off with a review. Every year I like to think of January as a pamper month. We have all been run ragged with the festivities of Christmas and now we are paying the price. We are tired, possibly run down and our skin and bodies are feeling the effects of a months worth of bad food choices! 

My first review is of a little product that might just give your skin the pick me up it needs. It is the Marula Facial Oil. 

I was kindly send this by the company but I am under no obligation to feature them on this blog & I am not getting paid for this review. As I have I always promised this review will be frank and honest and will represent my true feelings on this product. 


The company sent me a 30ml bottle of their Pure Marula Facial Oil, East Africa. It claims to be a light, fast absorbing Marula Oil, rich in antioxidants & omega acids, effectively moisturises skin to help reduce visable signs of aging. Big claims for a little bottle! 


I have normal to dry skin so to say I was excited by it's arrival is an understatement. Any time I see a product with these kinds of claims, you can sign me up! Also considering that I am turning 27 in 3 months anti - aging is also a welcome claim. It's always a good idea to get a jump on things. 

First of all I love the smell. It smells like a spa full of essential oils so when ever I use it, it feels like a proper pampering session. I also love the texture, its not thick or gloopy (anyone who's been here long enough will know I hate the sticky feeling & residue some products leave)


I do honestly feel like my skin feels calmer and more nourished after using this product.




Anything I don't like?

Do not get this stuff in your eyes! Seems obvious doesn't it but it has accidentally happened to me (more times than I care to admit) and it stings like a mother******. Seriously do your best to avoid this!!     

Although it claims to be fast absorbing, It is but only when used on it's own... It doesn't absorb quickly over other products. To be honest this is probably my own fault as I was using a thick moisturiser underneath and I have no patience when it comes to products drying in between so I don't think it could penetrate the barrier as quickly. 


Would I recommend this product!?

Absolutely! It really does make your skin feel nourished after a long busy day, the spa like scents also help you to relax & I find it makes my skin care routine more pleasurable as I feel like I am really doing something to help & pamper my skin. My boyfriend has also used this & it worked great for his skin too. He is skin is normal/oily. 

This 30ml bottle retails for about E31 but if you want a product that will go the extra mile with your skin and you really want to pamper it then give this a go! You won't be disappointed & to be honest I can't think of a better way to start off the new year then by pampering yourself!!

First Impressions / Mini Review - PS... Love to Glow Face Mask!



Hello my Beauties!

Today I have another product to share with you! This is from the new (I think its new anyway) PS... Love - Skincare range from Pennys/Primark. I just want to first say there will be a few reviews coming up on PS... Love Products, These have all been purchased with my own money & are not sponsered in anyway as I know currently many bloggers & youtubers have received promotion packages from Primark & are doing posts & videos about them. This is not the case here.  

Anyway today I am here today to share my thoughts and views on this little baby. I picked this up about 2 weeks ago, when it caught my eye just sitting there all lonely on the shelf haha. The reason it took me so long to try out was because although I love to try out new things I had a few events and whatnot coming up and when it comes to skincare especially masks, I am always afraid they might break me out. 

PS... Love to Glow Face Mask

  • Claims to contain Argan Oil & Vitimin E
  • Claims to Exfoliate & Smooth skin
  • Claims to Brighten & Moisturise dull, tired skin 
  • Contains 50ml of product
  • Costs E3.50  


It is quite thick in texture. It is a mud mask (or atleast looks like one). It is greyish, brown in colour. I contains small little granules that seem to work as a physical exfoliator, exfoliating the skin as you apply and remove the product.




How I used the product

I applied the product as directed. I applied a thin layer to my clean face avoiding eyes, nose, mouth & ears. I then waited for 10 minutes before I removed the product using warm water.




My Experiance

I was not expecting the the texture of it. although it is quite creamy the granules make it a little scratchy but nothing painful or anything, just like using any other exfoliating product. I applied a thin layer. It felt cooling on the skin. I felt that almost immediately but I kinda liked it. As it began to set the mixture got quite hard & felt tightening which I also liked. It also applied light in colour (more of a light grey) & dried much darker (darker grey brown). Again I liked this as you could see when the product was done.




The Results

I have to say I was surprised. Almost immediately my skin did look brighter & fresher but that was not what I was so surprised about, It was how soft my skin was. I kid you not! about half an hour after I touched my skin & I was like "wow! oh my god! I was not expecting that!"          


Recommendation

I have normal to dry skin, so if you have similar skin I definitely recommend  you give it a go!! Im sure other skin types would probably be fine too but as I dont have them myself I cant personally recommend skincare for them. However for me this was an extremely positive experience. I will say however, for the sake of balance, although my skin felt soft & I liked this mask I didnt find anything completely outstanding about it in the days after (nothing that you wouldnt get from alot of other masks) I think the product has been designed and formulated well but it will take a few uses to provide you guys with information on wether this product actually provides some lasting or longer term effects on my skin. I will be sure to come back with an update after a few more uses!   


Anything I would change or didnt like?


  • I dont like using my fingers to get the product out of the jar (hygiene reasons), I would love if there was a little spatula or something included but again this is a E3.50 product.
  • They dont say anywhere (that I can find anyway) how often it is recommended to use the product but I will probably just use it once a week or so.
  • I fear it might dry out as the air has gotten into it or it might not work as well anymore.

Thumbs up from me! I cant wait to try out the other skincare products in the range!! 

I hope you enjoyed this first impression / mini review. Please leave me a comment down below if you have tried this before or have any thoughts or views on it!!

Review - Wet & Wild Coverall Primer, Base De Teint!




Hey Hey,


Welcome back to #reviewfriday! Today I am talking all about the Wet & Wild Primer. I have been on a mission the past year (maybe even longer) to find the best drugstore/highstreet primers & I may have just found another one to add onto my list!


I picked this one up about a month ago as I was in a pinch for a primer & I spotted this one on the shelf & thought why not? Im going to be honest, I dont know why but I didnt really have high hopes for it. I was wrong. I actually love this primer.


It is white in colour & has a soft gel, silicony texture. It is feels very light on application, dries in almost immediately! A little goes a really long way with this product & always leaves my skin feeling silky smooth. It provides an even base, perfect for foundation application! I was really impressed with the formula of this little guy! 

I think I E4.99 for this little product! 





* The size of the amount of product pictured above would be enough for your entire face!


Do I recommend this product? 100%. Anyone looking for a good drugstore / highstreet primer, definitely give this one a try!

Would I repurchase? Yes! Absolutely! I will be still trying out more but this is one I will definitely reach for!!         


Have you tried this primer before?

Review - Lacura Aqua Complete Multi - Intensive Serum



Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to talk to you about the brand Lacura, but more specifically their Aqua Complete Serum. I mentioned it briefly in an empties post recently (you can check it out here - Empties #4) but It was not an indepth review of the product. I apologise in advance about the pictures (or lack there of). The product is empty. I did not realise until I was going to write this post that I had no picture taken of this already when it was full, but atleast you get to see what the packaging looks like.   


*A little disclaimer- Skincare is always a tough one as we all have different skin types, colour & texture. Although I may really love a product & it might work perfectly for you too, I cannot guarantee it! I can just give you my thoughts on the product & tell you how it worked for me!! Enjoy my lovelies x*


First off I would like to say that I never really hear anyone talk about the Lacura brand. Its a skincare brand that I purchase from Aldi and extreamly affordable. I can never resist trying out affordable products. I always think whats the harm? If I hate it then I havent lost that much in the process & If I love it, Ive just found myself a bargin!! Win! 


I bought this about a year ago, just to test it out more than anything else & I have to say I love it!! My skin just drinks it up!! I have normal to dry skin & over the winter this was a savior for it!! You dont need that much of it. I find one pump does my each time I go to apply it, which is why it probably lasted me so long! I apply either morning or night & more often than not both! It is light in texture & dries in quickly, so it doesnt leave you with a sticky face for a half an hour! It also has a light fresh scent, a lightly scented cucumbery smell. 


Since trying this product I have picked up alot of the other products in the range to test out which you might have seen in my Makeup & skincare Travel Essentials post. I am currently trying out
  • Q10 Gentle Daily Face Cream
  • Q10 Renew Multi Intensive Serum
  • ProRevive Hand Cream
  • Hand & Nail Cream
  • Nourishing Hand Cream

The fact that I am willing purchase new products based on that one serum is proof enough that I feel like this range could be a winner. Im trying another serum this time around, partly because I wanted to try another one but mostly because they were sold out of the aqua complete one where I live.

I 100% recommend this for anyone looking to try something new, to bring moisture back into their skin, or just looking for really good affordable skincare. 

Leave me a comment down below if you have tried it! I would love to hear your thoughts! Or if you pick it up come back & let me know how you got on!!

Review - P.S. Love.. Eyelashes



Hello There!

& Welcome back to my last P.S. Love... Review (This month! Dont worry not forever haha!) 

Earlier this month I posted a review on the P.S. Love... Eyebrow kit! (click here to read if you havent already! P.S. Love... Eyebrow Kit!) & I mentioned I was  so impressed with Primark/Pennys & their P.S. Love... range that I was going to dedicate all my reviews for the rest this month (Every Friday!) to this range. My Last review was on the Makeup brush range (again you can click here to check them out! Review - P.S. Love... Makeup Brushes)

As you can tell from the title I have decided that my final review of the month is going to be on their Eyelashes! Individual Eyelashes to be more precise! 

I always loved the concept of Individual lashes but never bothered to pick them up as they can usually be quite expensive for lashes you are not quite sure of. However when I saw these released (again i think it was before Christmas, So I think it was maybe Autumn/Winter season time) I couldn't resist! E1.50! Bargain!

I can now reveal I LOVE individual lashes!! They give you so much freedom. While yes on the one hand they do take more time & dedication in application than strip-lashes, you have so much more control over the look you are trying to create!! 

The pack contains 30 individual lashes but each "bunch" (for lack of a better word) have 3 little "bunches" (again someone please give me a word!) of lashes. This means they take less time to apply than brands that only give you the ones with one "bunch" (am I making any sense #bloggerproblems) They come in different lengths too. The first two rows are a medium length & the bottom two rows are long length lashes. It also contains glue aswell. I am going to have to admit something here though. Here it goes.... I have never used the glue *slap on wrist* bad beauty blogger. I always use my Duo Glue in Black so I have no need for the glue... sorry but Im sure if the quality of almost any other product they have released is anything to go by I have no doubt it does the job perfectly!

I would 100% Recommend these to anyone looking to branch out with Eyelashes! Why not give them a go and see how many looks you can create!. These will give you any look from natural & fluttery to Eyelash Fierce! & everything in between!

Once again #respect Primark/Pennys! You have consistantly brought out products where the quality deserves twice (& in most cases more) than price tag it carries ..... not that Im complaining!! haha


Have you tried these out yet??

what did you think??

Review - P.S. Love... Makeup Brushes



Hello There my Beauties,

First of all I would like to apologise for the lateness of this post, been struck down with flu this week so unfortunately I was unable to get this up on a Friday as I usually would. Please forgive me.

In my previous review post (usually published every friday) I reviewed the P.S. Love.. Eyebrow Kit ( You can check out my review by clicking the link Review P.S.Love.. Eyebrow Kit...) & I mentioned that I had made the decision that for the rest of the month of February I was going to dedicate all my review posts to the Pennys/Primark P.S. Love... range.

Today I want to focus on the P.S.Love... makeup brush collection they brought in just before Christmas 2015. I remember seeing hype about them on Twitter & Instagram and I am sure by now, 3/4 months later most of you lucky people have gotten your hands on them, but for those of you who have yet to pick them up or are just generally undecided here are my thoughts on them. 

My favourite brushes to use are generally, Real Techiques for face and MAC & (believe it or not) Essence for eyes but I am always on the hunt for new & affordable make up brushes!! When I saw people talking about these I just HAD to try them!! They are all in the price range or 1.50 - 3 Euro! Once again you cant beat a price like that!! 

General Overview

There are many different Varieties available. They have the same look and feel to them as the Real Techniques brush range but are much lighter & obviously of a lower quality. They are densely packed brushes & super soft! Here are the different types of brushes that they carry in my local Primark/Pennys (It might be the whole range, Im actually not sure) 

       

Kabuki Brush

This is one I dont use that often, mostly I just use it for blending at the end so there are no harsh lines. It is a dense brush & I love how soft it feels on my skin!!






Stippling brush

I have been using this brush ever since I got it!! I use it almost everyday for blending in my highlighting concealer! I love it! As its dual ended with different size stippling brushes I find it really easy to blend that concealer!!






Powder & Blush Brush

I have 2 of these brushes & one of them I use for blush & the other I use for bronzer. I know I could use one side for one & one side for the other but I like having the option of both sides for each product. Although it is really soft it blends the product really well!!





Contour Brush

I actually really like this brush for contour. So often I find that brushes that are designed for contour by companies are too big or just dont sit on my face right, this however I found to be perfect for its intended purpose! Thumbs up!!




       

Lip brush 

I really like this brush & I really like the packaging!! The only reason I dont use it that much is because I dont really wear many lippies that require a brush.... well I havent in the past couple of months anyway, this might change in the summer time when the sun decides to come out & great us again!!








Overall I think they are great brushes of fantastic quality for such a low price. I would recommend them for anyone with any level of makeup experiance but in particular I would recommend them for people who are either just starting out with makeup and want good brushes to start out with, have a low budget or dont like spending alot money on makeup or finally if you are like me & you love makeup & trying out new things. You wont be disappointed & for E3 if you are... who cares?? It wont cost you much to find out & I doubt you will be crying over E3. 




Once again I am super impressed with P.S. Love range & the quality of the products they have been releasing in the past couple of months. Tune in next week for another P.S. Love... range review!!




If you pick them up leave me a comment & let me know how you got on?

Review || P.S. Love... Eyebrow Kit


Hello Everyone!


So is it just me or have Pennys/Primark been killing it in the past couple of months with their P.S. Love.. beauty range. So much so I have many reviews coming up on their range. In fact I have decided that the rest of the reviews for this month (all of which will be posted on a friday) will be the P.S. range!! So stay tuned!!   I mean for the price I just feel they have really upped their game! I love a good bargin as much as the next person but I always feel there is no point in getting something just because its cheap, for me it still has be worth its inexpensive price tag. 

Recently I decided to pick up this P.S Love... Brow Kit. It includes 2 different powder shades, Tinted wax, brush & tweezers. I first liked the look of it as it as the shades looked cooler than ones you usually find on the highstreet / Drugstore. As a brunette I know there tend to be more shades available than for blondes but I find most companies tend to lean towards the warmer side of the spectrm and then straight up black is just too harsh for my complexion and dark for my hair. This product is a little warmer than my other favourite which is the Catrice one but not much and also it cost me 2.50 euro ... hello bargin.







What I like about this product

I find the darker shade perfect for me! I have also found that the middle shade works perfect as a contour for me! I had a sneaky suspicion when I spotted it in the store and I was right! So I got two products in one! I will say however if you decide to try it as a contour that I have quite a light skin tone and complexion so if you are much darker than me it might not work out as well.  

Negatives

The powder is quite.. powdery, tends to be a bit of fall out so make sure you tap out any excess before application otherwise your perfect eyeshadow could be destroyed!! also the tools they include.. lets be real you are probably never going to use them. I mean the tweezers is ok but I dont think you will ever use the brush. I think they would be better off putting the money that they use into providing the tools, into their packaging instead. The packaging is basic but at that price I couldnt careless.

So yes the outer look of the product is basic at best wont be winning any awards for it anytime soon but the product itself is really good. I have been using it for the past month and apart from the powdery fall out that can happened if not tapped out Ive have no issue whatsoever. In fact I have been using to contour all month too so Thumbs up for this little product!!

Review - Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil


Hey There Beauties,

Today I wanted to review for you something that has been on the market for quite a while now and that is the Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil (boy thats a mouthful to say!) 

This is not a recent purchased and Im not quite sure why I have never reviewed it for you to be honest because its frickin awesome. 

It retails for about 15 euro I think which is kind of expensive but it last for like ever! Its 100 ml bottle and for each use you only need 2 pumps so its going to take you months and months to use this baby up!!

It claims to contain a blend of 6 flower extracts & also contain coconut & soybean oil and much more.

My hair loves this stuff!! It just drinks it up! My hair looks shiny and glossy after I have used it and I definitely notice a difference when I haven't!! 

You can add this to wet or dry hair. I usually add it to dry hair to add a glossy finish, Just from mid-length to ends. Its weightless and not greasy at all!! My hair just looks healthy. 

Im sure there are many different types now in the range and I will probably try another one whenever this one actually runs out. Although I have been looking at the expiration on the back and it says 18 months and Im not sure how long I have had this so I might be repurchasing sooner than I thought.

Not a very long review but I think it covers all the major points of the product and lets you know my thoughts and feelings on it.

Would I recommend it!? 100% 

Have you tried this product? 
If you have already or pick it up let me know your thoughts on it!
Are there are any other hair oils you would recommend!? (I love them!!)

Product Review - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water



Hey Guys and dolls,

So I decided break up my make-up looks with a quick product review. The other day I decided to pop into Pennys, Just for a look (as you do) not looking for anything really specific and I came across the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water. Immediately I knew I had to pick it up and give it a try. Complete impulse buy!! 

One of the reasons I decided to purchase this product was, because written on the very front of the packaging it says, Hypoallergenic, eyes, lips and face – no perfume. For even sensitive skin. This appealed to me as my skin can be quiet sensitive with certain skin care products especially around my eyes.

That evening I tried for the first time and I have to say I was very impressed. My make-up came off with minimal effort. I also noticed it didn’t irritate my skin or my eyes at all. I’ve been using it in my routine every night since. I’m also impressed with how little product it takes to remove a full face of make-up so I feel like it will be a while before I finish the bottle. Unfortunately I threw away the recent so I don’t have an exact price but I know it was definitely under 10 euro and considering how long it will last I think it’s a bargain!! Go Garnier! I really think they have done an excellent job with the product.      

In conclusion I think this is an excellent product!! I’ve even been recommending it to my friends already and recommend any of you girlies to give it ago. I really don’t think you will be disappointed with this product.

Have you tried this product yet?? What did you think??
