L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution

L'OREAL PARIS SKIN PERFECTION 3 IN 1 PURIFYING MICELLAR SOLUTION - Boots £3.33 or Superdrug 2 for £5

I had seen the L'Oréal Purifying Micellar Solution on a few blogs and all of them had pretty positive reviews, so when I walked past it in Superdrug, I just couldn't help but have a little bit of a nosey at it. At first I wasn't going to buy it but then I noticed it was on offer for 2 for £5 whereas it is usually £4.99 anyway so I thought I'd give it a go! I also put the cream version of this so there should be a review on that soon too. 

This removes make up so well, for everyday make up I can just use 1 cotton pad but for when I have more make up on, like weekends, I usually use around 2 to 3. This doesn't make your eyes sting, or your skin feel tight. This isn't the best at removing heavy-ish eye make up / waterproof mascara, but I have a separate eye make up remover so it doesn't bother me too much.  This removes face make up like a dream, it is as though it is being 'dissolved'. I have pretty sensitive skin, but I don't experience that burning sensation when using this which is definitely a plus, although my cheeks can be a little red after use. I have combination skin and this doesn't make my skin feel any oilier, but also doesn't make it feel dry, but of course I still use my moisturiser. I'm not too sure about all of the claims, especially unclogging pores - I don't think my skin has improved majorly blemish wise, although it could be work in progress.

My skin definitely feels a lot cleaner after using this, and although I haven't really seen that much of an improvement in my skin (blemish wise) I shall definitely carry on using this!

Have you tried this, what do you think?

Bubb & Dimples Nourishing Body Balm

 

Bubb & Dimples Nourishing Body Balm*

Bubb, Yum Yum & Dimples is a brand I've never come across before, but after dipping my toe into the Bubb & Dimples water, I want to buy the whole range! Bubb & Dimples is a completely natural brand and all the products are handmade in the UK. For me, this is great as I hate the thought of putting harsh chemicals and all sorts onto my face. Bubb & Dimples stock a range of luxury products: from body wash to candles. All products are suitable to be used all over the body as they all contain shea butter and soy, another thing which is right up by street as I have sensitive and quite dry skin as I suffer from eczema on my elbows and knees. 

Onto the actual product, The Nourishing Body Balm comes with a muslin cloth, and although it is a 'body' balm and works great on the body, I actually prefer to use it on my face. Recently I have been trying to get my skin back in order and using a new spot treatment and it appears to be drying my skin out a bit and this is so moisturising so it is great for injecting a bit of moisture back into my skin. As you can see from the pictures above it is a thick balm but when massaged between your fingers it turns into an oil, I like to apply it to my face and massage it in with my fingers and then go in with the muslin cloth. I have been using this once daily for a while now and it makes my skin feel so much smoother!

I have combination skin and this works great for me, and I think it would work even better for dry skins as it makes your skin feel really hydrated and moisturised after using it, however I'm not too sure how well it would work on oily skin, it didn't make my skin any oiler/break out but that's just my skin!  Overall I'd definitely recommend The Nourishing Body Balm to those who get drier patches! And if you don't then you should definitely check out the Bubb & Dimples range.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
