Bioderma Sebium Micelle Solution Combination Or Oily Skin

eBay £10.25

Ever since it was discovered that Bioderma could be purchased from UK sellers on eBay it has taken over the UK blogging community! Bioderma is a water like Micelle Solution cleanser which eats away your make up (not literally!!) instead of smearing it all over your face. I've tried the regular solution and really enjoyed using it so I thought I'd give the Combination/Oily skin one a whirl.

I really enjoy using Bioderma as a make up remover, it's so quick and simple with minimal fuss required. I find it removes my eye make up in seconds and my face make up disappears in one swipe. I mainly wear powder on my eyes though so if your a liquid eyeliner lover it may be a different story. I tried using the Bioderma Sebium as a cleanser and if I'm honest after about 3 days I was begging for my Origins Zero Oil (holy grail) cleanser back! I really didn't find it did a lot and even though it was super quick and easy in the morning I found by the end of the day my skin felt more on the greasy side and spots were occurring... not a good look! One extra thing to note is that I found this one to have a scent which the regular Bioderma does not have. It smells like the Garnier Summer Body Tanning Moisturizer, that really "holiday" like scent.

Overall I would really recommend the Bioderma, although the Combo/Oily skin version is definitely not a must. I've found that Bioderma only works as a make up remover for me and thats as far as it goes. I wish it worked as a cleanser because it's so quick and easy! It is on the pricier side compared to your regular Boots/Superdrug make up remover but I do prefer it. I find regular make up rmeovers leave my skin quite tight and sensitive however this glides on nicely gets the job done leaving my skin smooth.

Hope you're well!

My Current Favorite Eyeshadows

Clockwise- MUA Heaven & Earth Palette, MAC Ricepaper, MAC Woodwinked, MAC All That Glitters, MAC Satin Taupe, NARS Cyprus.

This post isn't full of new or exciting products pretty much just things you may have heard of before! I really wanted to talk about my favorite eyeshadow's at the moment as I am a real eyeshadow girl, I wear it everyday without fail! I'm mainly into warm toned golden or brown shades but I do love greys and purples too. These have been my go to eyeshadow's for the past few weeks and some of them combined are absolutely killer!

MUA Heaven & Earth Palette This is such an easy and affordable palette. I will generally reach for this when I'm in a rush as it's so easy to use and you can instantly find a perfect combo! I really love the gold in the palette (third from the left- top row) and prefer over Urban Decays Half Baked which is way more expensive! It's great for creating a warm toned smokey eye.

MAC Ricepaper This is a perfect all over lid colour and I've used it pretty much everyday since I purchased it. It looks really classic paired with just black winged liner.

MAC Woodwinked This is one of my old faithful eyeshadow's which I know suits me. It remains in my go to MAC quad for easy use. I just pop this on the outer corner with a bit of Ricepaper and BOOM I've got my perfect combo.

MAC All That Glitters I never really got the hype about this shadow until recently. When I first got it I kind of thought "Is that it?! The famous All That Glitter is rubbish"! It remained in my larger palette unused for quite some time until I whipped it out the other week when wanting a really natural eye. This eyeshadow looks gorgeous on it's own with lashings of mascara for effortless eye make up.

MAC Satin Taupe  I loved this shade when my hair was blonde but since going back darker I've barely reached for it until pairing it with MAC'S Soba eyeshadow. Soba and Satin Taupe create a perfect slightly darker more defined simple smokey eye.


NARS Cyprus As I said above I love golds and this eyeshadow just hits the spot! It's the perfect gold and is so buttery feeling. NARS eyeshadows are the best quality in my opinion and will never let you down. This shade looks gorgeous paired with Satin Taupe and doing my eyebrows a little stronger (for some reason).

So thats a a round up of my current eyeshadow loves, like I said I'm a bit of an eyeshadow junkie and I'm always trying out different eye looks but these shades have remained firmly to the front of my drawer for a long time.

Hope you enjoyed this post!
