Thanks to this miracle Micellar Water, the days of make up wipes are long gone. I've never tried Bioderma but I started using the L'Oreal Micellar Water last year. I couldn't believe how effortlessly it removes make up.
Garnier recently brought out their own version in a bottle twice the size for the same price as the L'Oreal water. After being told by a friend that the ingredients are the same and reading Kat's review on Blushing Rose I decided to go for Garnier's version this time round. It's strange because I do actually prefer it, even though it's exactly the same product. This is because it's much easier to get the product out of the bottle without wasting any and because I feel like it works quicker to remove my eye make up. It's so easy to use too, just apply to a cotton pad and hold over your eyes/face/lips for a few seconds and then wipe.
This Micellar Water is brilliant and I would recommend it if you are looking for something that removes your make up quickly but thoroughly.
Just a quick one today! I picked up a 50ml bottle of the Avène Eau Thermale Spring Water to try when I was getting some holiday supplies a few weeks ago. I mentioned it in a previous post and said that I would tell you guys what I thought after giving it a test run in Morocco. So here's the verdict...
It claims to be good for things like sun burn and facial redness and seemed like the perfect thing to carry around with me when travelling. Luckily, I didn't actually get sun burnt on holiday. But, I still found it useful for spraying on my arms and legs as well as my face to cool me down when the heat was a bit too much.
Overall, I really like using this water on my face after i've removed my make up, instead of using it to set make up and can see myself using it this way on a regular basis. I still have quite a lot of the product left (I haven't been using it every day) and only have the small sized spray can so I can see the larger 150ml bottle lasting quite a while, which for £6.50 isn't too bad. However, it is pretty much just spring water in a spray can so I would suggest that you try the 50ml bottle first to see if it's something that you are going to use. Or, if you do a lot of travelling or commuting and want something refreshing to throw in your handbag then the 50ml would probably suit you for that purpose as well.

You may have noticed that Blab underwent a teeny tiny makeover at the weekend...I hope you like it. The design of this page was incredibly simple before so I wanted to keep it like that and stick with the very...grey...theme (I do love a bit of grey). I know it's not very colourful but, I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I really like the fact that it's plain because then hopefully the photos stand out. I'd love to know what you guys think!
I don't dislike drinking water, I just don't drink enough of it! So, in the summer months I like to mix things up a bit and add different flavours to my water. The technique i'm going to show you is brilliant because it's incredibly easy to do and every ingredient added to the water is fresh.
You will need:
Carbonated Mineral Water (or still water if you prefer)
Half a lemon
Half a lime
Fresh mint
I basically just add the lemon, lime and mint to the water to give it that summery kick. I like to crush a wedge of lime at the bottom of the glass with a wooden spoon first to get all of the flavour out and then add the rest.
I picked the mint from the garden but i'm sure you can get it in supermarkets. You can add as much of each ingredient as you want depending on how citrusy you want the drink to be.
It's as simple as that! This is such a refreshing dink for summer and just livens up your water a bit. I guess it's kind of like a non alcoholic mojito. I'm sure you could add different flavours too if you don't like mint or citrus fruits.
Let me know if you give it a try or have any recipes for summer drinks!
