These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things... May '12

Good evening my beauts, I hope you're all well!

I know I'm a few days late to the party with my May favourites but I had such a busy Jubilee weekend I didn't have time to get the post up *slaps wrist.*

Here is what I was loving in the month of May '12...

1 - Nars Laguna | 2 - Origins A Perfect World | 3 - Bioderma Sensibo | 4 - Loreal Lumi Magique | 5 - Sure Maximum Protection | 6 - Loreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick | 7 - Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Decollete

Nars Laguna - With the warmer weather I've been adding a touch of bronzer to my make up & Laguna is perfect for giving a sun kissed glow.

Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser -  I got this when Origins were hosting their trade in day & I've used it every day since! It leaves my skin feeling lovely & it smells amazing. I'll certainly be purchasing this when I run out.

Bioderma Sensibo - I really don't need to say too much about this as it's all been said 1000 times! I love using this to remove my make up at night & to refresh my skin in the morning, I recently posted a full review of this so if you want to read more click here.

Loreal Lumi Magique - I was on the hunt for a new foundation that I could take away on holiday with me & I think I've found the one! This foundation provides medium coverage and leaves a beautiful dewy glow, i'll be posting a full review soon!

Sure Maximum Protection -  I've already talked about this product in great length here so I won't ramble on but this is my number one deodorant and it will certainly be coming away to Turkey with me! Click here to read my full review. 

Loreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick 'Dating Coral' - This is my perfect summer lipstick, a gorgeous coral shade with a balmy sheer finish. This is so easy to apply you don't even need a mirror so it's perfect for on the go touch ups. I've since picked up a couple of more shades from the range but this is still my favourite.

Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Decollete - I picked this up after Anna raved about it in a YT video & I've loved it ever since. I use it every few days and it leaves my skin looking tanned and glowing. Once again I will be posting a full review on this soon so keeps your eyes peeled!

Other than that I've just been loving the sunshine, celebrating the Diamond Jubilee & flat hunting with my boyfriend for our first pad together!

Review: Bioderma Sensibo H2O

 Good evening my lovelies, I hope you're all well! I'm on a blogging roll this week, after a little break I'm back all refreshed and ready to get going with lots of posts!

Bioderma has to be one of the most talked about beauty products in blogging community of 2012, I didn't give into the hype for aaaages but I have to say I'm so glad I did.

Bioderma say:

At the cutting edge of innovation, BIODERMA has pioneered micellar solutions. Specially formulated for sensitive, normal to dry skins, the Sensibio H2O micelle solution gently cleanses face and eyes. It removes water-resistant make-up.

The micelles contained in its formula effectively micro-emulsify impurities while maintaining the skin’s balance (soap-free, physiological pH).

What I think:

Since purchasing this from eBay (more on that later) a few weeks ago I have used this every night without fail & for someone who is as lazy as me this is no mean feat! The formulation is so gentle that I can use it all over my face including the eye area & it does not sting in any way, I wear contact lenses so this can be a big problem for me! After using Sensibo my skin feels really clean and refreshed, I love taking my make up off straight after work now! 

How I use The Product:

First of all I use this product in the morning, I'd rather have an extra 10 minutes in bed than have to complete a whole skincare routine! I simply soak a cotton pad in the product and sweep it over my face. This removes any of the skincare products I used the night before and leaves a really good refreshed base for makeup, after applying moisturiser of course.

In the evening this is the first step in my skincare routine, once again I soak a cotton pad in the product and sweep it over my face. I tend to use one cotton pad for my face & then another for the eye area. As you can see below it removes a lot of product!

Where To Buy:

Sadly Bioderma is not readily available in the UK & like many other bloggers I had to resort to buying it from eBay. The seller I use is here and they sell both the 250ml & 500ml size depending on what you'd prefer!

Price:

The eBay seller listed above sells the 250ml size for £6.95 + £2.80 p&p or the 500ml size for £10.45 + £2.90 p&p which is the cheapest I found on eBay.

Overall opinion:

If you're sitting on the fence about this product & you're not sure whether to try it or not I would definitely say give it a go! I know it seems like a lot of money for what is essentially a bottle of water but it's made such a huge difference to my skincare routine & I couldn't imagine not using it now!

Are you a fan of the Bioderma brand?
