Review: Cult favourites #1





1. BIODERMA Sensibio H2O - Micelle Solution

Verdict: 10/10 aka holy-grail status. Sure it's expensive, but 500mL will last you for months. Maybe even a year if you're a moderate make-up wearer. Put a couple drops on this magical liquid onto a cotton pad and put it over your eye for a few seconds prior to gently wiping it off. If you have sensitive skin and want a non-irritating eye and face make-up remover, this is the solution to all your problems. Being someone with incredibly sensitive stye-prone eyes, this is perfect. 

I've heard that a dupe and cheaper alternative for this is the Garnier Micelle Cleansing Water - which can be purchased online if you're from NZ. And available in Boots if you live in the UK.

Where I purchased this: Escentual for £18.40 ($36.30 NZD) + International shipping £4.95 (~$9.87NZD). They are also available in smaller sizes (100mL and 250mL)

2. NUXE RĂªve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm

Verdict: 8/10. Definitely my new favourite lipbalm. This lip-balm has a longer longevity than the other lip balms I've tried (Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm and The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Butter), lasting to around 5-8 hours upon application. It has a citrus-like smell to it and is quite thick when applied and does an awesome job at hydrating my lips. This product is ideal for those who have moderately-chapped lips. I have veeeeeeeeery chapped lips and therefore am still in the hunt for a slightly better lip balm that doesn't cost $40, but for now, this does the trick :)

Where I purchased this: Escentual for £9.50 ($18.76 NZD) + International shipping £4.95 (~$9.87NZD).
