Better than Bioderma? Loreal Paris Micellar Solution

I have a short & sweet post for you today!

In the beauty world, Bioderma had been madly raved about as the best way to remove your makeup. I brought it to try out, and love how quickly and easily it took off my makeup. But one big massive downside with it, was that it dried my skin out ridiculously! 

I went on the hunt in Boot's for a new Micellar solution product, and came across this 

one by Loreal. There is also one by Garnier which I haven't as of yet tried, but have also heard is really good.

I was expecting this Loreal micellar water to dry my skin out as well, but it doesn't at all! It does exactly the same as Bioderma and is cheaper than it too. If you are wanting to try out Bioderma, I'd recommend to give this one a go first. It does everything Bioderma does, but is easier to get hold of, and is a bit cheaper! 

Loreal Paris BB Cream Review

Hi all,
Today I am going to do a review on the Loreal Paris BB Cream. I know this come out quite a while ago and I did get sent some samples before it was released, but I have only got around to  buying the full version recently, and I'm loving it for a low-key summer time look.

This retails at around £7.99 and I got mine from Superdrug, although you can also get it from Boots and anywhere that sells Loreal products. Mine is in the shade light, which just happens to be the most popular shade, so stock is usually low in most shops. Your best bet is to order this online unless you're lucky like I was and got the last one in the shops! I've tried the Garnier and Maybelline BB creams, but none of them compare to this one. I find this BB cream smooth and so lightweight. It's easy to blend in and isn't too orange like some of the others. It's perfect for a summer time look, especially when it's hot and you don't want to wear a heavy foundation. It gives your skin a healthy glow, yet still looks natural and it feels like your not wearing any products at all.

The product comes out as a white liquid and as you blend it in, it turns into a light foundation consistency. It's almost like magic! They also do a blusher version, and some others for blemishes, which I haven't tried as of yet. But I do highly recommend this BB cream. It's by far the best out of all the ones I've tried and it really is perfect to take on holiday. I love the natural look and feel it gives. 10 out of 10 for me!!

A little trip to Boots...

Hi all,
So today I've been to good old Boots. I only went to pick up a couple of essentials, but £52.33 later, I exited the shop.... It's all ok though, it's my pay day today and I've had a week off work on holiday so I thought a little treat was much needed. Most of the products I picked up to try out, but I also got a couple that I needed to restock on.

Boots had 3 for 2 on certain skincare products, so the next three items was what I got in that offer.

Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion - £2.99
I have been looking at getting this lotion for a while, as I love Vaseline products, as well as anything with a cocoa scent! My skin is always quite dry so I wanted to get a new lotion that can help, and hopefully this one will. Seeing as this was the cheapest skincare product out of the three I got, with the 3 for 2 deal it meant I got this for free. But even still, at £2.99 it is really cheap.

Palmer's Gradual Tanning Moisturiser - £5.35
I have heard many great things about this gradual tanner for a while now, and again seeing as it's cocoa scented, I jumped to buying it. This is something I have decided to give a go, as I haven't used gradual tanners for a long time and I've heard it gives you a really nice natural glow. I do like fake tans, but I've liked to have my skin more natural recently because it's so dry, so I think this will be great because it will give me a glow and moisterised skin as well.

Vichy Idealia Cream - £22.00
Now this is my pricey purchase of the day, however I do love this product. I first tried it in a Glossybox and immediately fell in love with it. I used it as a daycream to moisterise my face before applying my makeup. It left my skin feeling soft and refreshed, plus the smell is gorgeous - it smells like raspberries! It's not too heavy on the skin and makes you feel awake, so I finally bit the bullet and got it despite the price. But the sample I had lasted such a long time, so I expect this will too.

Bourjois Bronzing Powder - £5.99
Everyone seems to rave about this bronzer, so again this a 'try-out' product as I'm a little bit fed up of the bronzer I'm using at the moment. I like the packaging, I think it looks cute and you can get this is two shades so I got the slightly lighter one. It smells nice too which is always good!

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - £3.99
So many people seem to use this powder so I thought I'd give it a go. I am currently using the Natural Collection loose powder which I do like, but I felt like a change. And everyone raves about how good this is, so at the price of £3.99, I would be silly not to give it a go. I got it in Transparent as I don't want a powder that will take the colour of my foundation away. I think this will go nicely with my Mac studio fix fluid.

Loreal False Lash Flutter Mascara - £10.99  each.
I LOVE this mascara. The only downside being that it isn't exactly cheap and it doesn't last long at all. Loreal had a deal on some of their mascara's, 2 for £15. So I thought I would save my self some money in the long run and pick two up now, that way I'm all stocked up! I do love this mascara though, the brush is amazing and it really seperates your lashes. It makes your lashes look amazingly long, almost like they are false. I prefer this to the benefit they're real mascara, it's that good!

Benefit They're Real Vs Loreal False Lash Flutter...Battle Of The Mascara's!

Hello all!

I hope everyone is having a brilliant Easter Sunday, chocolates galore!
But today I am going to compare two mascara's for you! Both give a similar application, yet the price difference between the two is quite big!

Firstly I have the ever so hyped about Benefit They're Real Mascara, which retails at around £18.50. It's opponent is the Loreal Paris False Lash Flutter Mascara, which retails at a much cheaper price of around £10.99!

I love both of these mascara's, but I couldn't help noticing that they give such a similar effect!

The Loreal mascara is meant to give a butterfly effect - making your lashes winged out and lifted up. The Benefit mascara is meant to make your lashes have effect of false lashes.

As you can see the brushes are different, yet the are both a plastic wand. The one on the left is the Loreal wand. It is a winged effect, which is what is meant to give the Butterfly effect to your lashes. It has smaller nibs of the opposite side, which is perfect for your bottom lashes!
To the right is the Benefit Mascara, which is fully covered in nibs and also has a rounded tip with extra nibs which is brilliant for doing those hard to get small lashes in the corners of the eye!

I love both these mascara's, they both give a brilliant effect to my lashes.
But I'd have to say my winner would be the Loreal mascara! Not only is it almost £8 cheaper than the Benefit one, but it gives an amazing effect to my lashes. I find it wings out my lashes, yet it keeps them separated and not clumpy. The wand applies just the right amount of mascara to my lashes and gives such a similar effect as the Benefit mascara does. 
I do have to give the Benefit mascara it's due, because it is also a brilliant mascara that does make my lashes look amazing. But because it's so expensive, I would rather buy the loreal mascara in the future!

Have you tried these Mascara's??
If so, what do you think?
