L'oreal's Wonder Water :)

Hello everyone, it's me again and I'm here to tell you about my experience with L'oreal's skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution. 
                              
So I bought this product somewhat on a whim. I've heard so much about the Bioderma Micellar cleanser I thought I'd try the L'oreal version as it is far cheaper than the Bioderma version and it also was on offer for €4.75 in boots the day I purchased it. I have to say I am absolutely in love with this product it's the first cleanser that doesn't irritate my eyes in the slightest, it does take a little longer than the Garnier 2 in 1 make-up remover but as I said the Micellar solution does not irritate my eyes. As it says on the bottle it dissolves away the make-up.                               
I tend use three cotton pads for removing my make-up, I like to use one for each eye and one to remove my foundation from the rest of my face. Although I use three cotton pads it takes the tiniest amount of the product to do the job, this aspect really impressed me. I love how my skins feels after cleanser and I can defiantly say my skin has really improved since I began using it. Unlike some cleansers I've used this product has not dried out my skin which is a huge bonus as I have quite a problem with keeping my dry skin at bay. 
All in all I love this product and it has defiantly kept me away from make-up wipes as it so easy to use in even late at night it doesn't feel like a chore. I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin and anyone else for that matter. 
Till next time, 
Aishling

Review of St.Ives Sensitive Skin Apricot Scrub

So for my first blog I thought I would talk to you about my favorite facial scrub which I now use religiously evey day. So a bit of backround on my skin first I have sensitive skin which is also combination as I have dry a oily patches of skin.
First off I love the packaging on this product, its not to fussy. Its clean simple colours are appealing to the eye. The colour scheme also remains girly with it's mainly pink, white and peach pallete.
So what are the products claims?The product says it is for sensitive skin, oil-free, non-irritating,dermatologist tested, 100% natural exfoliants, 100% natural extracrs, formulated without parabens and phthalates.
Do I find this scrub suitable for my sensitive skin? Yes! Although the product is scented it does not irritate my skin and I find the scent quite pleasent. I've always had a problem when it came to scrubs before this product, the grains were either to abrasive and left my skin feeling dry and irritated or the grains in the products were to small to effectively exfoliate my skin leaving the dead skin behind making them pretty pointless as a scrub. This St.Ives product is the first one that effectively exfoliates my skin and leaves it feeling clean and soft without any irritation.
Since I started using this scrub once a day I have found a fast improvement in my skin. It helps keep away those pesky dry spots and has even help reduce those annoying spots that rise their head evey so often. All in all this product is my go to prouct to maintain healthy looking skin.
