Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water Review




 Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water - £3.32 - BUY

The Micellar craze isnt exactly new but I was pretty late on the bandwagon. This is mostly because everyone was banging on about Bioderma and being too lazy to order anything online, I didnt bother with it and I wasn't going all the to France for some. Whilst I was doing my usual lunchtime rounds, I spotted this in Superdrug and for 400ml for under £4, I couldnt say no.

You've probably guessed from the photo that I obviously like this product! In hindsight I should've taken this photo at the start of use.

Its so perfect if you're like me and the ultimate lazy girl when it comes to your evening regime or prefer that extra 5 minutes in bed of a morning. It melts make up straight off your face and leaves it silky smooth.

The bottle states it provides about 200 uses and thinking about it, its probably right which again, is pretty good going for the price tag!

I've been using this for a few months now, my only downside I noticed is my skin has become drier recently (I'm taking the ever-changing weather conditions into account) and its not doing my skin many favours and I'm pretty much lapping my face in moisturiser before I put my make up on.

Overall if you're looking for a quick fix way to keep your skin clean and fresh then honestly, Micellar water in general is the one. I've now finished this and even though I'm going to try something new - I just don't think you can go wrong with a bottle of this in your cabinet!

Have you tried any Micellar waters? How they work on your skin?

This Weeks Beauty Buys

If Yesterdays post (here) wasn't enough shopping to kill my bank account including my cheeky new Urban Decay Palette and a new YSL lipstick I decided to have a little look in my local Superdrug for the newest products.

Theres nothing worse than when you actually find things you want (and don't have that much money). However I got all this for under £20 so its not too terrible.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr - £4.99 each - 
40 - Permanent Taupe - BUY
55 - Immortal Charcoal - BUY

When it comes to eye colour, I'll admit I shy away from alot of vibrant colours so this year I'm going to make an effort to starting adding colour to my eyes in the form of greys/blacks and bronze/browns/gold etc.
These were on 3for2 in the Maybelline section so technically one of these was free so its a bit more guilt-free.
I reviewed the shade On And On Bronze last month (Review Here) and havent stopped loving it. I even like the shimmery look it gives and I tend to hate added sparkle. It wasnt until I got home I noticed that Permanent Taupe looks almost matte unless you put it right up to the light so I'm intrigued as to how thats going to look.

Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation in Ivory - £8.99 - BUY

I'm no stranger to Maybelline foundation and I used to adore the Superstay 24hr product. As a drugstore product these are an absolute gem. I tend to be Ivory in a lot of foundations and I did test on my hand (naughty I know) but it blended in seamlessly so I knew I'd be okay. I can't wait to try this out and give it a full review. Also the SPF20 means I think this is going to be an ulimate go-to in summer!


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - £3.22 - Not online

I've always been quite lazy when it comes to going out of my way to purchase Bioderma so when I saw this so cheaply on the shelf (there are other branded versions available) I couldn't resist! Every blogger raves about the power of Micellar Water so I'm excited to test it for myself. It looks gentle and states you get around 200 uses of it which is pretty good going for under £4.

Have you tried any of these products? I'd love to know what you think!?
