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!

LA ROCHE-POSAY OFFER- 2 FOR £15

 LA ROCHE POSAY EFFACLAR M & EFFACLAR K 2 FOR £15 AT BOOTS.

I've always walked over to the "La Roche Posay" stand and picked things up with the intention to buy them then chickened out. I would usually decide that it was too unessential in my skin care routine or too expensive. Today this all changed! I again walked over to the stand and caught a glimpse of a "2 for £15" offer and immediately started scanning the products deciding what I wanted. La Roche Posay products usually retail for around the £13 mark so in my eyes this offer screams BARGAIN! 

I firstly picked up the Effaclar M Mattifying Moisturizer. This is a product I've eyed up for a while as it's quite raved about in the beauty world and I'll do anything to battle the oil/shine in my work days! It claims to give me a result of "smooth and matte, the skin is intensely moisturized. Day after day the pores are tightened and the skin recovers it's balance".  That's me sold! I will be using this over the next few days for work and when I've put it through it's paces will pop up a full review.

I was really struggling with the second product but the Effaclar K Daily Renewal Fluid For Oily Skin caught my eye after extensive browsing of the counter. This is a fluid you can apply to your face in the day or night time and it acts as a "perfect" make up base. I think I will be using this is the night time so it can work it's magic overnight. If I'm completely honest I'm not 100% sold on what it's meant to do. However I am excited to test it out, who knows it could be a new holy grail!

I would like just throw in a quick apology for the quality of these images. I really missed blogging and I have sold my Canon 20D so I can upgrade! So hopefully the quality will only be a temporary thing!
