Blanchette's Micellar Cleansing Water VS Bioderma's Sensibio H20 (review)

For those who don't know, Blanchette is a very affordable exclusive brand of the Kaufland stores. So in countries that there are Kaufland stores you can find most of the Blanchette products.

As I probably mentioned in previous posts I prefer removing my makeup with "water" cleansers and not with milk ones mostly because milk cleansers are usually greasy and the water ones are more suitable for sensitive skins and they USUALLY contain less chemicals.
My absolute FAVORITE water cleanser is of course the Sensibio H2O by Bioderma, but I always like to try other products that might be as good as my sensibio ones for a better price, why not ne?



A few words about this product, it's a clear solution that barely has any smell to it. It comes in a normal plastic bottle with a cap, not like we need any special bottle when it comes to cleansers. So no problem there. It cleans quite well the face makeup, you don't have to go through your face again and again to clean it, I'd say maximum 2-3 times and you are clean from foundation! Now for the hard part which is the stubborn mascaras and liners you do have to damp very well your cotton pad and let it a few seconds to make the removal easier but if you use a very stubborn gel liner it will take you a few minutes to clean it all off.

It didn't break me out, it didn't give me any rashes or anything like that and I do have a sensitive skin so it gets thumb up. It is extremely affordable since a 200mL bottle costs less than 2EU! How awesome?
In comparison with my 17EU Bioderma I'd say there is not a huge difference in quality to spend those 15euros in plus for it since it does the exact same job. The only difference is that the Sensibio one has no smell at all so it might be more suitable for those with ridiculously sensitive skin (but I doubt it since I have quite sensitive skin myself and I had no problems with the Blanchette).

I recommend this product. It has the whole package, it works well and it's cheap.
I grade it with 4.5

Avon Luxe Lipstick Swatches

Helloooo! Long time no see, right? I just wanted to make a short post with swatches from Avon's Luxe lipsticks. We all know that Avon's lipsticks in general are amazing, pigmented and with a very nice texture but especially this line is AWESOME!



They are creamy, moisturizing and the name justifies them totally since they feel so luxurious! They come in a golden tube which is nice but the only small problem with shiny tubes like that is that they get all blurry from the fingerprints. I can't say that they have the best staying power but that makes total sense since they are very creamy and glossy. I totally RECOMMEND them!



1 - Nude Slip: My absolutely favorite shade from this line. As I mentioned in another post I don't like nude lipsticks because they make me look like a corpse but this is a very flattering nude color that is not grey or beige or brown or anything like that and it's in the list of my top 10 fave lipsticks.

2 - Lustering Nude: Also very flattering nude shade but this one has a shimmer in it and just a hint of pinky undertone maybe. My second favorite

3 - Rose Silk: Pinky to coral shade

4 - Polished Rose: Pink shimmery shade

5 - Provocative Pink: My third favorite from the line it's a soft glossy pink so pretty <3

6 - Pink Ruffles: Not sure why this has the word "pink" in it's name since its really a reddish color like a strawberry or watermelon red.

7 - Red Haute: It is a deep (not exactly wine) red.

8 - Glam Poppy: Orange shimmery color, not really my taste but still has a pretty texture.

9 - Stiletto Red: Pretty shimmery red color.

10 - Designer Red: Probably the best red color in the collection it is a true vibrant red that feels absolutely amazing on the lips.

Have you tried any of these lipsticks? Would you like me to take pictures of them on lips instead of my hand? Let me know!
I will start a point system from now on, like a grade from 0 to 5 to show my liking for the product I got this idea from my friend Usi's blogspot :)
So, the filled hearts will reprezent points and the blank hearts will just fill up till the five

So my grade for this product is a total 5 out of 5:


Take care,
Heliana

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla - Eau de toilette Review


Anyone that knows me is aware that I ADORE vanilla scent! It's one of my favorite scents in a perfume. It's hard thought to find a perfume that has a nice vanilla scent that is not fake or make you nauseous and it's not overpriced.

So in the mall there is a new Yves Rocher store and it has all kinds of perfumes, cremes, lotions etc and while I was taking a look I noticed the Vanilla eau de toilette. At first, when I read "organic" i thought it will be an expensive spray that doesn't last at all so I only tested it without buying. IT WAS AMAZING! It had the best scent of vanilla that I ever smelt, just the right amount of sweetness and it wasn't weak at all. I could still smell it untill the next day! So this had to be mine.

I really do not have to say a lot of stuff about this there are no cons, even it's price is amazing since the 100ml cost only around 10 euro!!!

If you are anything like, if you enjoy sweet perfumes and vanilla THIS IS THE PRODUCT FOR YOU.
I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND IT! I will be buying it again and again.

Thank you, Yves Rocher for creating this product! Thumbs up!
