Best dupe for Bioderma Sensibio H20 : L'oreal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in1 Purifying Micellar Solution

I am sure that if you are a beauty lover you have already heard about this wonderful dupe for Bioderma cleansing water. Well, I just couldn't help myself and as I already repurchased this 
L'oreal Paris Skin perfecion 3 in 1 Purifying micellar solution and definitely gained an opinion.

If you are not familiar with the Bioderma cleansing water, it is very much loved, considered as a best of best cleansing waters. Make-up artists are using her on fashion shows and it is known for being so gentle that it doesn't irritate any kind of skin. 


When I have seen the L'oreal version I was right away drawn to it. We have seen few brands coming up with cleansing waters, but this one with all the time being on offers, it was just too tempting. So what is it? It is a hypo-allergenic cleanser for face, eyes and lips, as well as bioderma suitable for sensitive skin. 
It does dissolve makeup, unlogs pores and removes impurities while soothing the skin. 

As I found, the "micellar! solution acts like a purifying magnet on the skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities rather than spreading them around (as certain cleansers or wipes do).





So the funny part? It smells and feels on the skin completely like Bioderma. Having the same results (for some, even better) I will definitely buy only the L'oreal version.


Even though it is much appreciated from my side, I tend to grab it in those nights when I am super lazy using my cleansing oils or balms. Super easy and quick. 

Recommended 100%.

Lancome Hypnose Doll eyes Fraicheur rosée 5 colour palette

I think I will ever have enough of eyeshadows. And I will definitely always go for very similar ones. 



What I love about this palette though is that it is nude palette with having a little bit baby pink and very dark purple shade, which makes it perfect for transformations from day to night looks. 

I had my eye on these for quite a while as the palettes look amazing and I am so pleased with this one. All of the shades are shimmery so if you don't like shimmer, then this will not be for you, but as I am all for shimmer for the eyes this satisfies my needs completely. 


Contains 2 brushes: a double-ended sponge applicator and brush applicator. Both of the applicators actually feel nice, which is surprising for me to even look at them. Normally I don't, I just DON'T use applicators that come with the palettes, but these ones feel very good on the eye and pick up good amount of product to work with. I am impressed buy that:)



You can use the eyeshadow wet or dry, but I like to go dry for a day-time look. If you are after deeper intensity in colour, definitely wet the applicators or brushes first.

Fraicheur rosee Lancome

I created a look only using these shades, eyeliner and mascara. It is quite intense day-time look, but it could be yours evening look if you are more a natural makeup type of person. 


The colours blend easily together, I just have to say that the lightest pink (no.1) doesn't highlight and is not pigmented as I would like, but the champagne and all other shades are giving very nice colour-pay-off. 


Oh, I just love a little bit of sparkle on the eyes:)



The palette is £33.30 here.

MAC Pressed pigment in Blonde streak

Everyone loves MAC eyeshadows, but going for their pigments is definitely part of every girl's makeup bag. Well, after me trying their pressed pigment in Blonde streak I feel impressed.

It is rather a colour which you to lightly put in the middle of eye or use it as a highlighter for eyes, so it gives like a glitter on the eyes. 



The actual glitter is quite visible and looks big when applied to the brush, so I would definitely recommend just to rather press it either with finger or a brush.



In the product you are getting 3g and on mac website the actual pressed pigments are described like this: "An intensely creamy highlighter offering extreme pearlescence and versatility of finish.  Apply dry for a high shine, or on damp skin for a dramatic wet look. Provides eye-catching sheer-to-moderate buildable coverage and natural dimension finish."





The shade Blonde streak is a light cream champagne colour.






So just to recap everything: Great highlighting shimmer for your nights out or for sparkly days:) And let me just say I love to have sparkly days everyday, so this pigment just works for me:)


You can buy the pigment here. (Price: £17.00)

Lancome L'absolu Créme de brillance Lip cream in Rose nu

Today I am gonna be talking about a Lancome lip cream. I don't own a lot of Lancome products, but this claiming to be "visibly replenishing and plumping cream sheen wich pro-xylane. After a little research pro-xylane was developed by Lancome in 2006. It is a xylose derived anti-ageing ingredient increasing the firmness of the cells and hence the skin. 


Sounds good, but from me as a client's view I just like that it is a nicely pigmented product that last pretty well, is not sticky and makes my lips looks full and hydrated.





The applicator is amazing, allowing to apply precisely and evenly. 




So recap: Nice colour, easy to apply, feels comfortable on the lips and stay for pretty good amount of time. Do I like it? It has been my go to colour since I got it. Lips look polished and it is easy to wear.
