L'oreal Micellar Water+Velvety Soft Toner|| Review

As the world of beauty develops we get more and more dupes coming our way, everything from lipsticks to foundations. Today I bring you a duo from L'oreal - many believe that this Micellar Water is a dupe for Bioderma. But I can't compare it to anything as I haven't tried anything else! A while back when i wanted to buy the water, I ended up buying the toner instead and fell in love with, but felt that it was missing something! Soon to discover the water was on offer in Superdrug and I didn't even think twice about before buying it. They work even better together then they do on their own.

L'oreal Micellar Water

First up the star of the show and this blog post, I started using this as soon as I got it. I start off by wiping my face with a makeup removing wipe and then use this water to remove anything else that is left on my face, and it is crazy to see how much comes off on a cotton pad. I have seen such a big difference in my skin after using this as it turns out I was never actually cleaning my skin properly. It is also designed for sensitive skin which has me written all over it! I haven't used it with eye makeup yet but I believe that it will be amazing! 

Velvety Soft Toner

Now even though, the Micellar Water tones your skin as well, I like to use the velvety soft toner after as well to just calm my skin down. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and cleaned! Even though this toner has a scent to it, I love it!! It doesn't harm my skin in anyway and doesn't make it feel dry at all, it smells delicious! It is called Velvety for the right reason as my skin feels sooo smooth and soft afterwards! 

I want to try some more things from the L'oreal skincare range as I think my skin really likes it! 

Collection 2000 Smokey Eyes Review ♥

The other day I received a lovely package from Collection! I won a competition where I won a signed FanFair smokey eyes kit! I had actually had my eyes on this palette for a while, as I was wanting to try out some smokey eyes for events happening later on in the year. So here are swatches of the colours...

The palette is such a pretty, cute palette! It is great for travelling as it so small and easy to carry round - even handbag size so I can take it everywhere. The back of the palette does actually tell you how to apply the shadows but mine has signatures over it - oops. The swatches from the palette below are taken in columns the medium, dark and then light with the cream. 

First of all, the medium shades are all very pigmented and have a nice shimmery base to them. The first is a silver shimmer shadow which looks amazing on the eye as a base on its own; the second is a  gold shimmer shadow which is also great as a base for the eye as well as the third which is more of a whiter colour. 

The second column of shadows are much darker, the first is the darkest of them all as it is a jet black colour that gets applied in the corners and the edges. The second a brown matte colour which I LOVE on it's own all over the lid and on the outer corner. Finally the final one is a golder brown compared to the one above which is really pigmented. 

These three final, lighter shades are the nicest they are creamier and great for highlighting. The first one is a white shadow that is my favourite to highlight the upper part of your brow bone! And finally the cream shade, which is specifically designed to highlight the inner corner of your eye to give your smokey eye a nice finish! 

I recommend buying this palette if you are wanting to do a smokey eye look on a budget, it definitely delivers amazing result for the price you pay. I am going to be having so much fun with this palette in the future and can't wait to try it out!! p.s it so cheap!!
