Bioderma Sensibio H2O - Micelle Solution

I finally jumped on the #bbloggers bandwagon and purchased a 250ml of Bioderma! After hearing everyone rave about it I decided to banish the face wipes and take the plunge. I have been using this now for about two weeks and I looove it. Why did I never try it sooner I keep asking myself?!

 

Bioderma is aimed at cleansing normal to dry & sensitive skin which is moi here, my skin is ridiculously dry & sensitive. I was a bit wary at first about using something like this in case it dried my skin out even more. Its a mild micellar water cleanser and make up remover, impurities are removed from the skin using micelles which maintain the skins balance. I picked up some of the bigger double sided oval face pads from Boots because I don't really like using the little ones much on my face and I just soak the side you use for your face and then I remove my face make up. I carry on using as many face pads to remove my make up until they have no dirt on them; usually only takes a couple as its hot so I haven't been wearing much make up but also, the pads are huge so its easy to do your whole face with one. I then rinse my face with a wet flannel as recommended. Bioderma is alcohol free so it soothes and cools any skin irritation and redness on the face - I don't have much of this but it is amazingly cooling and really refreshing. In this hot weather I've actually just been using it to cool down! Some added ingredients prevent irritation and make the skin feel really refreshed, clean and free from make up - even water proof mascara.

 

I picked this up from Escentual a few weeks back when they had a 1/3 off offer on, I think I got it for about £6.50. They do have a 20% offer going on at the moment so its worth checking it out if you are keen to try this. I definitely recommend it if you haven't tried it yet because it is just amazing!

We're all going on a, summer holiday! - Wishlist #6

I'm going to warn you now and say this is the biggest wishlist ever! Me & my boyfriend are booking our September holiday tomorrow to the Dominican Republic so Wednesday night I found myself browsing through every known high street store looking at what I could buy. Then it came to my attention that I could show all you lovely people my top picks are. I have split it into two wishlists just so it is easier to see.

 

 

 SANRIE FLORAL BARDOT BODYCON DRESS £29.99 - Missguided.co.uk

RHIA STRIPED LOOSE FIT CROP TOP £10.99 - Missguided.co.uk

GINA FLORAL PAISLEY FRILL BANDEAU BIKINI £16.99 - Missguided.co.uk

KLAIR MULTI AZTEC CUT OUT TUNIC £11.99 - Missguided.co.uk

FLAT STUDDED SANDAL IN WHITE £15.99 - Zara

NEON PINK HOTPANTS £28 - Topshop

FLOWER PLACEMENT TUBE SKIRT £28 - Topshop

 

I absolutely love the whole Bardot style tops & dresses at the moment, bright vibrant prints are also catching my eye so I fell in love with this floral Bodycon dress as soon as I saw it. I thought £30 was a bit much for a dress from Missguided so im hoping the material is extra good quality! I don't really need to explain my loves for crop tops again but I think this striped one would look good with anything; you could wear it with a high waisted skirt and a statement necklace for the evening or with a pair on denim shorts over your bikini. I love a cut out and the bright Aztec print of the tunic really caught my eye so I couldn't not add it to the list! I've been dying to buy this floral print midi skirt from work, I keep looking at it everyday haha but I think it would look amazing with a white or black crop top with some sandals for a casual evening look. I really love the colour of these pink hot pants - the description does say they're neon but they look more pastel to me? Im not really a pink person but these shorts are such a nice fit & the striped crop would look great with these. They also come in a few other colours such as turquoise & lilac.

 

KISSING GIRAFFE PLEATED SKIRT £38 - Topshop

PARROT PRINT BANDEAU BIKINI - 26 Miss Selfridge

BLUEBELL CROCHET BACK PLAYSUIT £32 - Topshop

SAFARI ZOO PRINT PINAFORE PLAYSUIT £34 - Topshop

ROBYN BLACK BASKET WEAVE FLAT £26 - Miss Selfridge

BEACH SHOPPER £15 - Topshop

FLORAL FRILL BIKINI £12(?) - Topshop

 

I saw this giraffe print skirt a couple of weeks ago in the Topshop in Milton Keynes; I was going to try it on but £38 for a skirt seems a bit extreme? I love giraffes so when I saw it on the Topshop website I couldn't help but think I should've brought it. I absolutely love the style of these sandals and the bow is so cute; these might have to be a definite purchase! The two playsuits in the corner I think would be great bikini cover ups for around the pool & on the beach. I love the lilac colour & the lace detail on the reverse and the safari print playsuit is such a quirky print, I really like the whole pinafore/dungarees thing at the moment but im not so sure it would suit me well. Everybody needs a beach bag for their towel & sun cream and this one just attracted me with the summery colours. I've been seeing this floral frilly bikini at work and really love the bright vibrant colours against the white - this one may have to be a definite purchase as well!

 

So there you have it, my Summer holiday wishlist. What are your top picks for a holiday?

Nails - Sinful Colours in Hazard & All About You

 

Now, im not usually one of those #bbloggers that likes to post what's on my nails posts because I am crap at painting them & I don't really like showing them off - I don't mind a pic on instagram when I think they've gone ok - however, today im showing you because I looove the colours and design. I picked up these Sinful Colours on Sunday at the Herts & Beds meet up in St Albans, you can see my post all about it here and I think they look AMAZING together. They were only £2 each and Boots have a Buy One Get One Half Price deal on at the moment so I got these two & another two for £6 - BARGAIN. The coral colour is called Hazard & the glittery gold is called All About You. The pictures don't really do the gold glitter any justice because its so sparkly and it actually has little orange flecks in it so the coral really compliments it well; and I didn't actually realise this until I slapped it on my nails. I do have to say though that just applying one coat is quite streaky so I would definitely recommend two coats. With the gold glitter I wasn't expecting much from the first coat... 3 coats later it started to look more opaque but the formula of the glitter was more sticky & gel-like so it was a bit tricky to apply at first, I was just kind of dabbing it onto my nails rather than brushing. For £2 a nail polish you cant really complain about the formula though...

 

The other two colours I bought were a glittery electric blue (Hottie) just like the gold and a gorgeous mint green (Be Happy) which looks like such an amazing colour in the bottle, im excited to paint it on my nails. If my nails don't look too awful then maybe I will show you when I eventually try it. I just love these colours together so I cant bear to change them yet.

 

Have you tried any of the Sinful Colours? What are your thoughts? Do you have any favourites?
