Tried & Tested - Milk Makeup Charcoal Cleanser

The Milk Charcoal cleanser wasn't something I had on my wish list or had even heard much about, but when my eyes locked onto it in T.K. Maxx, I knew it was mine. I've heard a lot about Milk Makeup but not so much about their skincare, so thought I'd share my thoughts on the product.

The cleanser comes in a really sleek and mess free tube. I love a tube as they rarely get dirty and I just find the whole process a lot less messy than trying to get a cleanser out of a tub or a pump, so extra brownie points for that!

Now onto the cleanser itself... The formula has a thick, jelly consistency to it and lathers up really nicely when wet. The cleanser is black but goes on clear, so doesn't leave any kind of colour residue behind. It feels so amazing when I wash my face with this product. It's a really deep cleansing face wash that feels like it's really getting into my skin and purifying it, as oppose to just gracing over the top layer of my skin without really doing anything. I've been using this for about two weeks now and really see a difference in my skin. I have dry acne prone skin and can say my acne scarring has reduced significantly, my skin has just looked so much more glowing and hydrated and plump, it's become a wonder product to me. I think this will be great for all skin types, as it's not too drying or too hydrating but just feels purifying.

One issue I have with the product is that it's really easy to over use and squeeze out to much and then I just get all sad about the product I'll never get back. The next issue is, the product is amazing, yet the stock in T.K.Maxx is always unreliable and I'm already panicking about running out and not being able to buy it again, so I will have to stock up when I see it. But this is just me being picky and playing devils advocate. So overall a really greater product!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

July Empties

 Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through.  The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite.  My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...
