Months ago I had heard about L’Oreal’s take on micellar water, a riff off of the cult favorite Bioderma that I reviewed not too long ago. Micellar water is a great makeup remover that is ultra-gentle, because it feels just like water. I ran out of makeup wipes here in Italy, and found this in my grocery store, so I picked it up for about €6,50. I like to use it with these soft cotton pads that I found here to remove my makeup gently. I only use this to remove face makeup, because I find that an oil-based makeup remover does a better job at removing mascara for me. Within a month I’ve used about 2/3 of the bottle, so it definitely doesn’t last long for me. But, I would repurchase it because it does do a great job, as my skin has been near-perfect in Italy. If you’re in Europe you’ll definitely want to pick this one up.
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Cleansing Micellar Water Review
I have been hearing rave reviews of Bioderma’s Sensibio Cleansing Water for so long now, and was curious to try! I recently won a giveaway of a bottle from one of my favorite bloggers, Jessica from BEAUTEZINE…so now I have it in my possession! I’ve been using it for about a month now and it’s really nice to remove your makeup in a gentle way. I mentioned it in my 5 Skincare Products I’m Loving Right Now video, so you can see a demo of me removing my makeup with Bioderma there! A few noteworthy points about Bioderma…I don’t really love the scent, I can’t detect what it is, but it doesn’t smell like anything nice. I find that it removes eye makeup well, but on occasion I’ve had it appear like all of my makeup is off and then I wake up with mascara under my eyes in the morning. I wouldn’t say it is any better than my beloved wipes…I think it’s nice, but not something I’d repurchase or consider a holy grail product!

5 Skincare Favorites (feat. Sibu, Dermalogica, Avene, Jurlique, & Bioderma) | Video
Lately I’ve been trying out new skincare products and incorporating them into my routine. I didn’t want to do a new routine video quite yet, so I decided to share with you my 5 current favorite skincare products I’m using!
Here are my current faves:
Sibu Sea Buckthorn Daytime Facial Cream ($20.95): This moisturizer is 100% natural, so it’s perfect for anyone’s skin. I think it leaves my skin super soft & perfectly moisturized.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant ($52): I love exfoliating, and this product is a whole new way to slough off dead skin cells. Daily Microfoliant is a powder that you mix with a tiny bit of water to form a paste, and scrub on your skin. It’s gentle enough to use every day because it has gentle ingredients, like oatmeal. Sometimes I mix this with a little bit of my facial cleanser to make an exfoliating cleanser!
Avene Eluage Eye Contour Care Cream ($40): I’m not really picky when it comes to eye creams, but lately I’ve had issues with creams that sting my eyes or are way too heavy for my skin. This eye cream is lightweight enough for under the eyes and leaves my under eyes hydrated, but not greasy.
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Night Cream ($51): I’m a big fan of Jurlique, their Herbal Recovery Serum was a great moisturizer for me during summer. Now that it’s winter, I need a bit more moisture, so I use this! I like to use it with a lighter moisturizer to give extra hydration while I’m sleeping. If I’m in a particularly cold and dry climate, I even use it during the day- which saved my skin from being dry at all!
Bioderma Micellaire/Cleansing Water ($25.95): I have heard rave reviews about this cleansing water, so when I won it in a giveaway I was really excited to try it. I typically use cleansing wipes to remove my makeup, and I find that it does just about the same job, but it’s nice to control how much liquid you use. I think this does a good job at removing all of my makeup, but I want to try it out more and do a full review!
