L'Oreal skin perfection Micellar solution- review:

Well hello there, I have a little review for you.

A few days ago I received my Superdrug order. Below is a snap of what I'm reviewing today:


I'd never tried this before, but it always caught my eye. I'm so glad that I finally got round to buying it.

About the product (stated on the bottle):

  1. Dissolves makeup
  2. Unclogs pores and removes impurities
  3. Tones and soothes skin
  4. Its used by makeup artists
  5. Draws out excess oil in the skin and impurities
  6. There's no perfume, no alcohol, and its hypo-allergenic
  7. Its suitable for sensitive skin
  8. You don't need to rinse the product off
  9. And that its tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control (whew that was a big word lol) 

 Here are my thoughts on the product:

  • I think its reasonably priced and I got it on offer which was even better!
  • Its gentle on the skin, even on the eyes
  • Removes makeup really well, without any rough rubbing or tugging (we don't need that!)
  • I even tried it on my clean skin, as I hadn't wore makeup that day. I wiped it over my skin with a cotton pad and you can see what comes off your face from just general day to day grime. It literally removes impurities from the skin. 
  • When you sweep this over the skin it has a nice tingly, cooling refreshing feel, it feels so nice!
  • On the bottle it states that it can be used on the face, eyes and lips, so its a multitasking, multi-function product, no need for separate removers for different parts of the face. 
  • I feel like my skin is squeaky clean after using it, which is great! Some makeup removers don't feel like they get deep enough to really remove everything from the skin. I hate the feeling that your face isn't truly clear of makeup. 
  • I moisturise after using this as my skin feels slightly dry afterwards. I moisturise anyway after removing makeup. 
  • I love this, I will definitely repurchase, can see this being my new staple! 10/10
These are just my thoughts about this little gem, let me know your thoughts in the comments. I would love to know your views.

Thank you for popping over to my blog.

See you all again soon with another review,

Very first blog post:

Hello guys! Wanted to finally start uploading on here, and thought I'd start by doing a review as its short and sweet and a great introduction. I'm not 100% on how to use this site yet so bare with me =]


Feel free to ask any questions related to my blog posts, I will be happy to get back to you! 





I'll start by talking about the batiste dry shampoo as it is a must have for me, due to having oily hair. I usually have to wash my hair every other day or on the 3rd day if I'm lucky. So in between I spritz this little beauty into my hair and it makes me look half decent for the day.
It's good for cutting back on grease, and putting volume into the hair, as my hair type is fine and can be limp at times. I would recommend this and rate it as a 8/10. The vo5 volume one, I think its called 'plump me up' if I remember correctly. It has added collagen - simply amazing, I have recently tried that and it definitely does increase volume. That one is my favorite one by far and that would get a 9 1/2/10.

Olay anti-wrinkle  nature fusion day lotion is next up: this is really good actually, as it hasn't broke me out -I have oily acne prone skin so I have to be careful what moisturisers I put on.
This is perfect for me, makes your skin feel really clean and tingly, and isn't over moisturising and greasy, sinks into the skin easily. Quite impressed with this and I got it on offer. Bargain! 8/10. 

Nivea 2in 1 cleanser: I think this is great as its for normal to combination skin, so suites mine fine. I haven't had any problems with it in terms of breakouts, it removes makeup effectively and I feel clean and refresh afterwards. I just massage it into my skin and wipe off with cotton pads, usually the double sided from superdrug/boots/tesco as they don't fluff.

Vitamin E range from superdrug/and boots:
I purchased the eye makeup remover from superdrug's own range, and it does the job ok, doesn't burn or sting, and its gentle for the eye area. I would rate this a 7/10. 

The eye cream and face cream are from boots: the eye cream is quite good although my eyes do water and sting a bit, so I tend to put this on at bedtime to stop any from irritating my eyes and its fine then. I haven't really noticed much difference from using it in terms of dark circles etc but I only wanted it to moisturise.  6/10.
The face cream is quite rich, and if I apply it too much or too often it does break me out slightly, so I tend not to use it much. If I feel my skin is a tad thirsty I apply it at night and in the morning my skin is really smooth and soft. 5/10. 

Tweezers: these came as a pack of two from ASDA, one is for precise plucking with a pointed tip, these are my favorite as they are better to grip the tiny hairs that can be missed. They are also really cute as they are pink with tiny white polka dots. 8/10.

That's it for my skincare, don''t really need to go into detail about deodorant =] thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope you liked it. <3
