Review | Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

There are a lot of different versions of this type of cleanser emerging now, and I plan to try a few different ones to determine which is best for my skin. However I thought I'd lose my Micellar virginity to this Garnier one, as it's good value for money and I didn't want to spend loads to find out that I didn't even like using this type of cleanser (See I can be savvy sometimes!) 

I bought this from boots for £4.99 a while back but it's now on offer for £3.99! (snap up that barg here!) I love the packaging, it's such a huge bottle! It claims the 400ml will last 200 uses which is amazing value, I've used it morning and night for the past couple of months and I'm just over half way through so I'l probably get over 200 uses out of it! 

To use, you just apply a small amount to a cotton pad and wipe over your face, it's not scented but it does have a sort of clean smell and it feels really nice and fresh. The consistency is very similar to water but with a hint of bubbly-ness. (Who knows what I mean?) It removes stubborn eye make up without drying out the skin and is really gentle on sensitive skin.

I really like this so far but I may have a little look at what other brands have to offer too! Any recommendations are welcome! Here's a handy little article from Red if you're thinking of trying out Micellar Water too! Read Here :)

Review | Lush 9 to 5 cleansing lotion

Hello! How are you?

I have a review for you today! I bought this a few weeks ago and showed you in my haul, and a few of you wanted to see a review so here you are :) I bought the 95g bottle for £4.75 as I wanted to try it before committing to the big £9.25 bottle! I've been using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish for a while now and really like it but I've found that it really wasn't doing much for my skin. If I forgot to use it for even one day my skin would get really bad and take about a week to clear up again! I just wanted something that would calm my skin down and keep it that way.

Lush say
 A simple yet beautiful liquid facial cleanser for those times when you’re in a hurry and need to just cleanse and go. 

We make this by steeping fresh dove orchids in almond oil overnight – then strain the petals out and use the infused oil as the base for this cleanser. Contains a lovely light fragrance of honeysuckle and ylang ylang.

9 to 5 will gently remove all traces of dirt, grease and make up without dragging the skin. You will be left feeling fresh, clean and ready to start the day. Although you might also want to pour yourself a cup of ambition. 

This is a really old formula of Mark’s, from back in the early days of his career, when he first started out making beautiful traditional herbal inspired products. It wouldn’t go away and leave him, because so many people have asked for its return. We have brought it back in its original glory and renamed it 9 to 5 after the Dolly Parton song and in recognition that today’s woman often has very little time in a busy schedule.

I say
 It's everything it says and more, it's so gentle on the skin but still manages to remove all my makeup. And it's really light and fresh but still manages to leave my skin feeling moisturised. It smells lovely and it feels lovely and in the few weeks I've been using it, it's really improved my skin. 

The only thing I would say is I use quite a lot of it each time so I don't imagine it will last very long, I'll definitely get the big bottle next time though and maybe it won't seem to go down as quickly!

Overall I think this is a really lovely cleanser, and an alternative to Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish if you had the same problem with it as me! AND I love that it's named after a Dolly Parton song too! Cute!

Have you tried this?
