L’Oreal Perfect Clean for sensitive skin – Review
And Hallelujah! Yes, I’m finally back from:
1) Holidays
2) Start of term law exams! (Yes, I know, how great is that?! We get exams BEFORE the term starts, so we can be nice and stressed at the start of September! Yay!)
Little OT, I know, but the important thing is…I’m back, and today I’m reviewing a facial cleanser which I used quite a lot this summer.
The facts
L’Oreal Perfect Clean is a cleanser! (I know, you REALLY needed that piece of information…)
Winner!
I am the very proud winner of “The Unnatural Beauty” blog giveaway! Yay!
My prizes are from MAC semiprecious collection and I will review them just as soon as I receive them.
Aaaaah..this made my day!

SPF, sun and sea – Facts you need to know!
So here I am again..it took a while, I know, but I had to do my reasearch! Plus, I’m on holiday so I’m finally enjoying some sun and sea!
Which brings me to the subject of my post: protecting your skin from the sun. We all know it’s super important, but there are a lot of things that I personally didn’t know, so I thought I’d share my recently acquired knowledge.

Kiko Sunproof Stylo SPF 15 in Glossy Berry – Review and Swatches
Don’t you just love berry lipsticks? They’re flattering on anyone, provided you find the right shade!
This particular lipstick is part of a limited edition: Kiko Coral Bay collection. This collection contains many other items such as blushes, sunproof foundation, shimmering body oil, bronzers, highlighters, waterproof cream eyeshadows and the list goes on…they can be viewed and bought online HERE.
Lovely as they look, I’m not a fan of Kiko products because the quality is not always exceptional…but the lipsticks really caught my eye…I had to try at least one!
Cargo Safari Kit – Review, Pictures and Swatches!
Exams finally over! Yay!
I’ve been meaning to do a review of this for a while, since it’s limited edition…I just couldn’t find the time!

The facts

The five items in question are:

- Eyeshadow duo in ED-13B (full size)
- Eye pencil in khaki (full size)
- Lipgloss in Serengeti (travel size)
- “Triple action” mascara (travel size)
Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover – Review
This is going to be a quick review. Mainly because there isn’t much to say about this product; I didn’t like it at all.
The facts
This make up remover comes in a small cylindrical transparent bottle with a black screw on cap. The bottle is cute and allows you to get just as much product as you need without squirting a lot of it out. It doesn’t leak either. The bottle actually comes in two different sizes. The travel size is 50 ml for 3.90 € and the full size is 125 ml for 6.90 €. Considering the quantity of product, it’s not high end or low end. It’s in the middle although 3.90 € for 50 is not that cheap.
The liquid inside is biphasic. This means that there are two different liquids, one water based and one oil based, which have to be mixed together to get the makeup remover. To mix them you just shake the bottle until the transparent liquid and blue liquid mix together. Here it is before shaking…..
