Micellar Cleansing

French ladies have been cleansing with micellar waters for many years now but only in recent years have they gained popularity in the UK.  This is largely due to the favorite cult beauty product 'Bioderma Crealine H20 Micellaire' used by make-up artists, celebrities and models backstage at shows for its gentle and super swift removal of even the most stubborn make-up.  Bioderma however is still not that easy to track down mostly you have to trawl the internet to find the best price or alternatively stock up at a much better price if you happen to be visiting France. The good news is there is now an array of micellar waters available in the UK from chemists including Boots and Superdrug.

Just so you know Micellar waters are non-rinse cleansers that you sweep over the face with cotton pads to remove make-up gently and super efficiently. They are soap free, mostly good for sensitive skin types and remove even the heaviest of eye make-up.  I highly recommend these over rubbing with facial wipes (you know who you are!)

Below are some of the best micellar waters on the market that I have found!

January Update!

January is always a horribly depressing month the Christmas fun is all over and the weather is bleak!
I am seriously over the amount of rain we have had this year too and so not enjoying dog walks either in the rain or trying to avoid it!

I have spent most of January testing creatively and updating my portfolio.  This has also been a busy period of organizing most of this years brides, 2014 looks like a busy one for weddings!

I am thrilled to be the new recommended supplier for Make-up artistry at St .Michaels Manor, St.Albans.

Pinterest has also helped to lift my spirits this month, I love pinning everyday my favorite things to keep motivated.
