Bow heaven

I am a complete junkie for anything with bows let me just put that out there, so when i saw the Ciate Mini Mani nail polish calendar online i HAD to have it.

 The polishes look so unique and individual with their concave shaped glass bottle and of course with that trademark black bow, i won't lie i enjoy storing some of them on my vanity just for show!

The application is great mainly because of that perfectly sized brush, flat and not too wide. They dry relatively quickly too and to date i have had no chipping. 

The caviar pearlescent beads are great for those looking for that extra 3D effect!

 Why not go check out their massive colour range? 

Bioderma Crealine H20 Cleanser - Review

I thought I would give the Bioderma cleansing solution a shot seeing as I'd heard so many great things about it throughout the 'beauty guru world' - particularly that its said to be the makeup remover of choice for makeup artists. 

I must admit, i was very pleased when this generously sized 500ml bottle arrived in the post just a few days after i'd ordered it. The packaging is simple and to the point - I got the red bottle otherwise known as the 

Sensitive to dry skin version. The green bottle is also available however, which is specifically designed for those with combination/oily skin.

The solution is said to be as gentle as water, with its micellar solutions helping to actually remove make-up as apose to just smearing it even further all over your face like some other brands ive tried. 

I myself have particularly sensitive skin around my eyes and i find that anything scented tends to aggravate that even more so i was pleased to find that this was un-scented. It is also great for removing any waterproof mascara i may happen to have on or any heavy duty makeup.

As for the application i follow the method bioderma suggests;

 'Soak a cotton pad with Sensibio H2O and cleanse the face and eyes and/or remove any make-up.Repeat the application until the cotton pad remains clean.'

Pros - Very calming on the skin, quick, easy & effective. 

Does not irritate skin 

Solution isn't greasy

Alcohol free

Cons - The price & its hard to get a hold of

Marc Jacobs Dot Perfume - Review

The newest edition to the Marc Jacobs Perfume Family - DOT

My favourite Marc Jacobs perfume has always been Daisy for its fresh, feminine, uplifting scent.

However when Dot came along with its eye-catchingly playful design i knew i had to give it a chance.

 Dot is a Lady Bug themed bottle, but the design is actually inspired by Marc's love for polka dots. As with all of the other Marc Jacobs perfumes - this has a rather large fancy lid. A lovely gold coil wraps the neck of the bottle along with a gold plaque across the front. 

Dot comes in an equally lovely matching polka dot box. Honestly, what could be more charming?

The scent i find is very different to daisy (but in a good way). Its very sweet and fruity with its red berries, dragon fruit, orange blossom and honeysuckle. The dry down brings in the feminine touch of coconut water, velvety vanilla, sensual musk and driftwood. 

For me, this was love at first sniff! This one is a keeper and when/if i ever get to the bottom of my rather oversized bottle i certainly won't hesitate to repurchase. I think this is a scent many will struggle to say no to!
