February Favourites...Video

As I sat down recently to write a 'February Favourites' post I thought "why not film this one?". This is something that comes into my head almost every time I write a post on here...but this time...I actually did it.

I studied Television Production at university and both of my housemates are Cinematographers so I took full advantage of all of the filming kit we have around the house and went for it. It was so strange editing a video of myself but I can see why people enjoy making them. I had so much fun putting this together and I really hope you guys enjoy watching it. I don't know about you but I always love seeing the person behind the posts and feel like I can get to know them better through their videos.

Please let me know what you think guys, I'd really appreciate any feedback. If you make videos I'd love to see them too!

I'm Loving: L'Oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

I saw this advertised in a magazine recently, read the words 'High performance make up removal' and thought 'I need to try this'. I've never tried Bioderma's version (I'm not sure why this hasn't happened either. Especially as I frequently travelled to France before it was available in the UK) so I thought this might be the next best thing and for £4.99 you can't really go wrong. 

This product is alcohol free and L'Oreal claim that it 'acts like a purifying magnet on the skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities.' I've used this cleanser a few times now and really like it. It removes make up so thoroughly but is also very gentle and has no fragrance. To use this effectively I apply it to cotton pads and then leave them over my eyes for a good few seconds. This water solution magically removes all traces of eye make up without you really having to rub the cotton pads onto your skin. It can also be used all over your face and on your lips. But I always find eye make up the hardest thing to remove so this product is a lifesaver. I only use this to pre cleanse though and will use something like a cleanse and polish afterwards to get rid of every trace of make up and exfoliate. But it's brilliant for removing that tough make up to start with and is also perfect for using if you are in a hurry or in ones of those moods when you can't be bothered to spend ages cleaning your face. Another fantastic thing about this cleanser is that it isn't greasy at all. I read somewhere that it does have oil in it but that it does not separate from the water so i'm guessing that this is the reason it feels like you are only applying water to your face.

Have you tried this product or anything from the range? What are your thoughts?
