L'oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution Review ♥

Ever since I bought the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, I've been struggling to find a make-up remover. As the Estee Lauder foundation is long wear, it really is difficult to try and remove in the evenings. When I was browsing through Boots, I randomly saw the L'oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution. It looked like it would be a good dupe for the Bioderma, and at a much cheaper price. 

The product claims to dissolve make-up, unclog pores and remove impurities, and tone and smooth skin. L'oreal claim it is used my make-up artists, and acts as a "purifying magnet on the skins surface to capture and draw out excess oils and impurities". I really do believe this statement to be true- before using this product I was having a few breakouts, and I think this was due to me not removing my foundation properly (anyone who uses the double wear will know how hard it is to remove!). 

I use a large cotton pad, and hold it down on my skin, allowing the solution to sink into my skin. I then sweep the pad across my face to remove all of my make up. The only little problem I've had with this product is that it doesn't remove all waterproof mascaras very well. I'm a big fan of L'oreal Telescopic mascara, and I found that I had to use a little more of the solution then I'd have liked to remove it all. Other than that, the solution removes all make up with a simple sweep of a cotton pad.

It doesn't have a particular scent, which I much prefer. I dislike putting perfumed products onto may face, especially as it's so sensitive. 

When comparing the products ingredients to Bioderma, I found that some were very similar including Disodium Edta, and Glycol...very interesting.

L'oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution retails at £4.99 for 200ml and can be bought from Boots.

soap and glory fab Pore hot cloth cleanser review ♥

I love Soap and Glory products, and I was really impressed by their Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser. Made to "melt" away your make up, the cleanser smells lovely, and leaves my face feeling lovely and soft. With sweet almond, orange and lavender oils, I thought it smelt amazing.

Soap and Glory advise to massage your face using the cleanser for sixty seconds, and then use the muslin cloth provided to press it off. I found that not only did the cleanser remove all of my make up, it left my face feeling really moisturised and soft. 

The cleanser managed to remove every trace of make up, including my mascara. I use Benefit They're Real, so if you use this too then you'll know how difficult this is to remove. I was a bit apprehensive about using the muslin cloth, because I find it a bit annoying that you have to go to the effort of washing it every time you use it. I think the product is really good though, so I guess it's worth it!

You can purchase this cleanser for £10.00 (100ml) from Boots, who are also running a 3 for 2 on Soap and Glory products at the moment.

Lancôme Bi-Facil Instant Cleanser review ♥

I think I may have found my favourite cleanser. I've actually had it for a while, but never touched it...I can't believe I've only just discovered how amazing it is! I bought a massive Lancôme beauty box at the duty free a few months ago as it had a perfume in it which I absolutely love. Recently, I've been going through all of my make up, and found this in one of my beauty bags and gave it a little try....well, it is amazing! 

 Sometimes I really struggle at removing my eye make up, but I apply a little of this to a cotton pad, sweep it over my eyes and all traces of mascara and eye shadow are removed! It doesn't sting, and is leaves my eye area feeling soft and smooth. Lancôme describe is as This fresh-as-water eye makeup remover offers instant, gentle cleansing. It's effective, bi-phase formula activates when shaken and easily removes all traces of eye makeup (even waterproof), while leaving no oily residue. Initially, I presume that the product will actually be really oily- it feels quite greasy when I touch it with my finger, but actually its so lovely and soft to the skin. 

 It doesn't really have a scent to it to be honest, but knowing this product is applied to the eyes, I find that quite reassuring. The product retails at around £20.00 for 125ml, but I've definitely seen websites that are much cheaper. Although that seems very expensive, I'm sure that product will last a long time- You don't need very much product to remove your eye make up, so no need to use more that a good drop. I'm so impressed with this product, and can't believe I hadn't tried it sooner!
