Bioderma Sensibio H2O Solution Micellaire review by E2E Beauty

This is my third or forth bottle of Bioderma Solution Micellaire I have used (at least, might have been more but I lost track). I have had both the 500ml version and the 250ml. Both versions come with the same type of dispenser and packaging.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Centrimonium Bromide. (Source: back of the bottle :) ).

This product is targeted for sensitive skin and is hypoallergenic. The texture is basically like water and it has no scent.
At the beginning I used to rave about this product, plus years back there weren't too many products on the market similar (unlike now when many brands have their own cleansing waters). Don't get me wrong I still love it, and will purchase it again most likely, however I feel this is not enough anymore for my everyday cleansing routine.




In order to demonstrate how good it cleanses I have added on my hand BB cream, foundation, liquid eye liner, waterproof mascara, eyeliner, lip stain and eyeshadow (order from left to right).



I put a generous amount of product on a big cotton pad and this is how it looked after one swipe.


 After I gently swiped the cotton pad on my arm multiple times, all the product was gone except the waterproof mascara, and vague traces of eyeliner and lip tint.

After I rubbed more vigorously only the waterproof mascara left. After intense rubbing it cleansed everything eventually, but that is not something I want to do especially on my eye area.

I think it's a great cleanser for face make-up, but to be honest I wouldn't recommend it for the eye make up especially if you like to wear waterproof products. However even for face makeup you need to use quite some product to make sure it removed everything, so I don't use it for removing make-up anymore.
I do love to use it in the morning to remove all the oils and dirt that gathered on the surface of my skin overnight.
Would I still recommend it? To be honest yes, as it's great for sensitive skin, gentle and in the end it does it's job of removing make-up. But I would still recommend to use a separate eye make-up remover.

My Lip Balms Collection

I am the type of person that doesn't reapply lipstick along the day. In fact usually the only makeup product I carry with me is a lip balm.
Having this said I would like to present you my current lip balm collection. Is not big by any means but it's perfect for me. :)


First let's start with the basic ones, with no color. I like to use these at night before bed, and those tinted during the day. One of these I have received in a Pink Box and the other one from my sister in law.
- Rosal Lip Balm So Natural Denim
- Alive Lip HydroVolume Cream

They are ok...just ok... My favorite colorless lip balms are from Nivea, and once I finish these two up I will buy a Nivea one.


Elf Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Peaceful Pink. I would say this is actually the favorite from the bunch. The color payoff is good, consistency is a little bit thicker than the others I am about to show you, and it doesn't have as much of a gloss finish (which is why this one lasts more on the lips).


 
I have the entire lip balm collection from MUA called Love Heart. The only one that I am using the most is Great Lips (which I use at work, not that the rest are not office appropriate, but this one just ended up first in my purse).
I do enjoy all of them. They have a thin consistency and leave a juicy look. Plus they have such cute names :D



What is your favorite lip balm at the moment?

Small Cosmetic-Love Haul

I had a very pleasant surprise today when I picked up my order from Cosmetic-Love. Especially since it was unexpected due to 2 reasons: it came to my local post office instead of the customs one (as per usually), and it came very fast. I placed my order on 29th of September so it took less than 2 weeks :D.

Now to the goodies :D
P.S. I bought everything with my own money just in case you were wondering :P

I only got 3 things:
- Missha Creamy Latte Chocolate Cleaning Foam
- Etude House Proof 10 Eyeshadow Primer
- Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Watery Cream for combination/sensitive skin(which has the same scent as the sheet mask, may be a little bit strong for some, but I personally like it)




 And the freebies, which to be honest they make me most excited when I open my package (I am a little weird aren't I :P).

- Nature Republic Clear Charcoal Nose Pack
- Skin Food Royal Honey Hydro Massage Gel
- After School Watery Skin BB Foundation Lunch Box SPF 37 PA++
- Skin Food Egg White Pore Foam (which I had before also as a sample and I remember that I liked it)
- Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Mask Sheet (which I had before and loved, and why I choose the face cream from the same line)


If you would like a review for any of the above let me know :)
