Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water

After having a little conversation with a few bloggers about cleansing, skincare routines and easy makeup removal, a lot of people mentioned the suddenly popular cleansing water. I'd never tried a cleansing water before, the closest I'd come was a cleansing lotion with a similar texture to a moisturiser and I'd used a toner.

 Two key brands kept having their names thrown about and popping up in our conversation. Those being Garnier and L'Oreal. I'd never really seen the hype around cleansing waters and thought they were a waste of money but yet I was convinced to buy one. Garnier was cheaper at £4.99 and also held a lot more liquid. According to the packaging, the bottle contains enough for roughly 200 uses. At first I though this was ridiculous. But then all my ideas radically transformed when I began to use the cleansing water. It removed all my makeup with about two cotton wool pads and with a small amount of the water. I was amazed! I then realised that yes, this bottle could remove your makeup around 200 times!

 This formula is gentle and not irritating like a lot of makeup removal products can be for sensitive skin like mine. It doesn't have a chemically smell and it looks as if it's just water in the bottle. I can't rave about this product enough!

If you need to amp up your skincare routine or need a new way to take off your makeup, then ditch those horrible face wipes and grab yourself a bottle of cleansing water!

Recent Purchases #3

So I was naughty and took a revision break...into Superdrug. I know it's bad...but I have to release my stress somehow! (Mainly through retail therapy) So here's a few small things I purchased.

 I'd spoken to a few of you lovely beauty bloggers about cleansing lotions and the fact that for some really stupid reason, I had never laid my hands on a bottle. A few names cropped up: Bioderma, L'Oreal and Garnier! Unable to choose I turned to you bloggers and one of you said to try the Garnier Micellar cleansing water because you got a lot for your money. So for £3.99 I picked up this surprisingly big bottle. This photo really doesn't do the size of the bottle justice- It's huge! It's 400ml which according to the bottle does 200 uses. We'll see how this tries out!

Then we move onto NYC. I've never tried an NYC Colour product either so when I saw that Superdrug had a 3 for 2 offer on, I grabbed at the chance! I've always loved the look of their nail polishes so I picked up 2 pastel shades which I think will be perfect for Spring and Summer (A lilac/purple and a turquoise shade). The nail polishes were £1.79 each which I really can't complain about! So affordable

I've been looking for a new drugstore/high street brand pressed powder for a while now and I miraculously came across NYC's. It cost me £1.99 and when I swatched it, it seemed pretty good! Can't wait to give this a whirl!
