BIODERMA SOLUTION REVIEW

Hi Dolls, Sorry about the lack of posts lately the cold I thought I was going to get over on my own is worse then ever a month later and has turned into pneumonia but I'm on lots of meds now and although not feeling better yet I just missed you all too much to hold of writing any more. 
During this time I did run out of my VICHY 3 in 1 cleanser I use alone to take off my make up & wash my face when I'm too lazy to use my Marcelle system or as a toner after..I decided to try some thing new and I'm glad I did. 


BIODERMA -Micelle Solution for Sensitive Skin

This Non-rinse, fragrance free 250ml water like formula cleanses, removes make-up from face and eyes and soothes.


Well now that I have read you whats on the bottle I will tell you my honest opinion. I soak a few cotton pads and wipe over my face and eyes to remove my make-up and it works great. It takes everything off including eye make-up without irritating my skin or eyes. I also like that it hasn't dried out my skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. Its great that there really isn't a smell to this product, it gets another check mark from me for that one. 


Ive only been using Bioderma for 3 days now but so far I'm really like it. Just wish it was in a bigger bottle like Ive seen posts and videos on. 


Hope you like this review and my post will be back on schedule very soon.

REVLON PHOTOREADY 3D VOLUME MASCARA

Hey Dolls I was on another quick trip across the street to the mall this time for more much needed cough drops and while checking out tester colours of the Revlon Photoready foam foundation I saw the new Revlon PHOTOREADY 3D VOLUME MASCARA was on sale So I picked one up to try and review. After checking out the package in the store I was thinking this mascara looks promising, the wand shape all though not the exact same reminded me of my fave Buxom Lash and the spiked end would be great for getting all the pesky lashes on the inner and outer corners I always struggle getting. The actual mascara container I don't really like but if the product is great I don't really care.


OK well once I got home, unpackaged, washed off the mascara I was wearingand tried this new mascara on..my first impression was right. Fabulous Mascara. 

                ONE COAT

                   TWO COATS

*The wand does not come out clumped up with product. 
*The 001 Blackest Black is truly blackest black
*No Funky smell like with some mascaras I have bought (latest was Loreal)
*Lashes looked super long with just one coat
*Lashes looked volumized but not clumpy with 2 coats
*Kept a nice curl (after using my Tarte eye lash curler)
*Been wearing this Mascara for 6 hours now with no smudging so far


I love all beauty products but I'm a sucker for pretty Blush, Best concealers and finding my all time Favorite Mascara...Thinking this is a great drug store alternative to some high end greats.

Garnier Skin Renew B.B CREAM..My 1st Impression:)

Hi Dolls, I have been hearing more and more hype about BB Creams and Ive been dying to try one out. I keep  reading up on different brands bringing out there own version of the Asian beauty wonder..Well today while i was at Shoppers i noticed they had the Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream on sale so I figured this was my chance to check one out and do a review for you guys.

First Off as soon as I put it on the back of my hand it felt more like a thick foundation then light tinted moisturizer and the colour pay off was right in between the two. I love tinted moisturizers and my skin really doesn't get that many blemishes but i do have a hard time with discolouration around my nose and under my eyes as you can see in my yet again braving the camera with no make-up pic below. I had high hopes this would conceal these problems better then a tinted moisturizer. 

Here is what I liked and didn't like about my first time using the Garnier BB Cream. Well right away I hated the dispenser. I wish the hole where the cream came out from was flush with the top but it isn't and cream collects in the well with every use, I found only a Qtip got it out. The cream it self is great easy to apply, blends beautifully and the light/medium colour works great on me. I will still be using my concealer while using this product but a lot more sparingly because it really did help even out my skin and i would say more then any of my tinted moisturizers. 


The Box claims This product is an all in one- Renews, Brightens, Evens and Hydrates for 24 hrs. Well I don't know about the Renews & 24 hr part yet but I can say from my first impressions that it does do what it says when it comes to Brightening, Evens out and Hydrates and my skin felt so silky like i had applied a really good face cream which is probably from the Vitamins C+ mineral pigments that this product claims it contains. 


       GARNIER RENEW MIRACLE PERFECTING B.B. CREAM

              CAP/DISPENSER

           COLOUR SWATCH

                        NO MAKE-UP

   AFTER APPLYING GARNIER BB CREAM

 Some times it is hard to tell from a photo how much different a product  makes your skin look but in person it really did. Bottom Line I really recommend you try this or another brand of B.B Cream  if you get the chance..I know I will continue to use this awesome new product:)
