BIODERMA Sensibio H20 Make Up Remover

When Anna from Vivianna does Make Up mentioned the Bioderma  Sensibio H20 I was intrigued to say the least and a little excited! I just knew I had to get my hands on some, and so I did...not 1 but 2 bottles of the 250ml version. 

Aimed at sensitive skin this little gem cleanses, removes make up and soothes. It is basically water in a bottle that actually does remove make up, even stubborn eye makeup without irritation! Unlike conventional make up removers this removes it via micro emulsion meaning that it dissolves the products as opposed to moving them around your face until you rinse. This does not have to be rinsed off so you just basically use a cotton pad to remove your make up until the pad is clear, I used 3 until all scraps of makeup had been removed. 

 The product is fragrance free and feels so refreshing on the skin however dispite being aimed at sensitive skin my skin did feel slightly tight/dry after use but once I had used my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and moisturised I was good to go! 

I purchased mine on eBay for roughly a tenner, I know it is much pricier in the shops. I would not say this is my fave product of the month so far, but time will tell :) but it definitely hits the spot for removal of make up thoroughly!

Clinique Super Fine Liner for Brows - 02 Soft Brown

I wanted to  give a big recommendation today and that goes to Clinique Super Fine Liner for Brows. After years of trying to find the perfect brow pencil I do believe I may have just found it. I first heard about this via PixiWoo on YouTube, in case you do not know who PixiWoo are they are 2 incredibly talented sisters who happen to be extremely talented MakeUp artists. You can view their blog by clicking here and with over 15000 subscribers to their name you can safely say they are pretty well known within the beauty community! 

Anyway back to the product. After trying several products, including 2 shades of the prestigious Urban Decay brow kits, eye shadows, MUA pencils and Rimmels I finally caved into the hype and bought the Clinique pencil. At £12 I actually thought this was pretty reasonable considering that you will pay only slightly less for lower end brands. 

What I liked most is the fact that it does not need to be sharpened, you just twist the end and away you go. So no moments of getting caught out without a sharpener if you take it away anywhere or keep it with you. It comes in four different shades - soft brown, deep brown, blonde, black/brown. The only thing I would like to see is them cater for red heads. I chose soft brown, and not being a red head I cant speak from a personal level yet I do feel that it lacks a little on this side seeing as I have heard that Anastasia which is an American brand which I have heard is coming to the UK does cater for red heads. 

I certainly recommend going to a store and testing the colours as no swatches can give a true representation of the colours of these hence why I have opted not to. If you go to a department store that sells Clinque then generally they will be more than happy to match your colour and therefore you will avoid wasting your money on the wrong one!

 The product itself has an ultra fine tip which allows you to draw individual hairs on whilst maintaining your natural brow shape which gives a much more subtle natural look without looking like you have painted on your eyebrows. You can use this alone or with a brow powder and an angled brush yet I found that this works perfectly well alone and allows me to fill in my brows during the day without it looking too heavy. 

Have you found any great eye-brow products lately and have any of you tried the Anastasia brow kits as I am keen to try these however I know that they are not yet available in the UK? If you know if they are then please let me know as the brow gel looks amazing.

Johnson Face Care Eye Make Up Remover Pads

When it comes to removing my eye make-up I like the most effective and simplest method available thats why remover pads are ideal for me. Not only are they quick and convenient, generally they are fairly cheap so are a winner all round. 

Previously I had been using the Simple pads, although I did not hate them. I did not rate them either. Purely because of the packaging which was a resealable packet similar to face wipes but they dried out so quickly I ended up throwing half the packet away so when I came across the Johnson 'gentle eye makeup remover pads' it was their packaging that convinced me to buy them.

These come in a plastic screw top container and can be purchased at around £3 from Boots, Superdrug or large supermarkets and drugstores. 

The pads are fairly large which I liked, and are not drenched in product, which having sensitive eyes, to me this is a good thing as some remover pads I have found that the first few to be very 'wet'. What I liked most about them other than their size was the fact that these actually do work. They are super soft and leave your eyes feeling really 'cleansed'. They even removed my stubborn 'BadGal' waterproof mascara and thats saying something :).

Pads approximately 60mm diameter 

I will definitely be investing in more of these the only negative thing I can think of is the fact that as the packaging is so bulky they would not be the most convenient to travel with but other than that these get a big thumbs up :) 


What are your favourite eye make-up removers? Do you prefer the pads or liquids?
