Affordable Micellar Cleansing Water Comparison: Super facialist, Simple, La Roche Posay

Ok, we all love Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water, but it's still not available nationwide unless you order from Boots.com or Escentual.com, so what happens if you need an emergency replacement or you just want to explore other options? So with this thought in my mind, I started to test different micellar water cleansers from different brands and price tags.

Super Facialist Probiotic Micellar water By Una Brennan £6.99 / 200ml 
I bought this after watching Lily Pebbles' monthly favourites, she absolutely loved it. I don't think myself as a definite sensitive skin type, I do get a few episodes of sensitivity but not all year round, so listen to me when I say this is definitely not suitable for sensitive skin, whenever I use this I can always feel the stinging and burning sensation on my skin, and if I dare to use this to take my eye makeup off...actually, DON'T!  Or you'll cry like I did.  It also leaves a slightly sticky residue so maybe give it a pass if don't like the sticky feeling. Very sad this didn't work out for me.  You can find it here on Boot.com

Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Water  £4.99 / 200ML
Oh my my...Why didn't I pick this up earlier? This is truly the holy grail for super sensitive skin, completely fragrance free, contains 2 types of Vitamin B to prevent stripping your skin's moisture away, and it leaves the skin super soft!! Chamomile extract to calm and sooth the skin, it's 120% safe to use on your eyelids, the best part is---it even takes off waterproof mascaras!!!! It's currently on offer on Boot.com, STOCK UP!

La Roche-Posay Micellar Water £14/400ML  £11/200ML
My all time favourite! I love it more than Bioderma!  This is the one I would recommend to every single person no matter what skin type you have, I have no other words to describe it, if you haven't tried it, go buy it now! You need it!  You can't do wrong with La Roche-Posay. Always look out for special offers, it's currently on offer on LookFantastic.com for £8/200ml  £9.35/400ml


Don't forget to find me on Instagram, I'd love to hear more recommendations from you all. xx

Shiseido Anessa Prefect UV Sunscreen Aqua Booster SPF50 PA++++

More and more girls across the world have become obsessed with Japanese sunscreens. Among them, Shiseido Anessa has been one of the best selling sunscreens in Japan for so many years. Now I finally got my hands on the latest formula of Anessa Prefect UV sunscreen.(Japanese products tend to change formula quite often, the older formula is PA+++)

Before I start, I just want to quickly explain that whenever you see a Japanese/Asian made sunscreen, the "PA" means the protection strength against UVA, the new formula is ++++, which is the highest protection on their market, you will normally see this level on beach appropriate sunscreens.

It contains 60ml, I paid roughly around £16 each. This sunscreen contains both chemical and physical sunscreen filters, the formula is waterproof which means prefect for beach, incredibly lightweight and runny, slightly velvety texture when you rubbing in, absorbs fast, leaves no residual on the skin, it says "Aqua booster" on the bottle, unfortunately I don't find it moisturises my skin, however it's definitely not drying throughout the day, nor greasy which again is prefect for hot sweaty weather.

I have tried on my face and body 3 times in a week, and each time it left me a few red itchy bumps/spots on my face, but my body is absolutely fine with it,  which I did predict would happen, because whenever I try Shiseido skincare,  such as Shiseido white lucenct, Clea de peau, IPSA, they all make me spotty and red, I don't know why I'm still trying... Oh well, it is a fantastic body sunscreen after all, I'll save them for my Barcelona holiday in Aug.

Burberry Full Kisses Review & Swatches

This month Burberry has released a whole new lipstick range--Full Kisses. This for me, has to be the most exciting new launch this season. Yes, I have been waiting for over 2 months! 

Official :

• Celebrate the Burberry Kisses collection with new Burberry Full Kisses for bold, long-lasting colour and fuller-looking lips.
• Designed to hug every contour of the lip, the unique flat-top bullet follows every curve as it draws, effortlessly defining, shaping and enhancing from corner to corner.
• Mistake-proof and ideal for on-the-go application, the formula coats lips in one vibrant stroke with a rich veil of bold, luminous colour lasting up to eight hours.
• Infused with active ingredients, the lip-contouring formula saturates lips with hydration, each shade delivering a smooth, intense and creamy finish.
• – Shaped and full lips
• – Bold, luminous colour
• – Lasts up to eight hours

Burberry Full Kisses has 14 gorgeous shades in total, retails for £24 each, you can find them here. I have No.529 English rose which is a gorgeous rosy pink on my medium skin-tone, and after 1 week of trying out, I'm more than ready to share my thoughts(good and bad) with you guys. 

Just like they claimed the formula is incredibly opaque and moisturising! One swipe is enough to provide rich colour pay off, it lasts around 6-7 hours on my lips without the need of touching up, it doesn't dry out my lips throughout the day, it's definitely not lightweight, but it's very comfortable on the lips, it feels like and acts like a heavy duty lip balm, so if you do not like lip balm feeling, you might want to step away from this.

Next, let's talk about the packaging, the bullet top sticks out quite a bit, which means it's very very difficult to put the lid back on without scratching the bullet itself, especially when you are on-the-go! I made sure to pay extra attention when I used it, but still...well, you can see it for yourself in the photo down below.

Overall, I think it's a great product, if you don't mind the packaging issue, then I'd say you'll love it! I love how nourishing it is, I love how long-lasting it is, I love how opaque it is, and the price tag is not ridiculous, I mean think about Tom Ford. ^-^ 

Thanks for reading. Until next time. xx
