Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution Review

Finally got my hands on most well known micelle water in the beauty world! In case you don't know what micellar cleansing water is; it's a water based skin care solution that cleanses your skin and removes makeup without the need to wash it off afterwards. This one is most suitable for normal to sensitive skin, it doesn't contain alcohol, fragrance or parabens.

To use this you simply apply some to a cotton pad and start swiping to remove your makeup. It has a lovely cooling sensation when you apply it. I love how it removes makeup so effortlessly and how gentle it is! Leaves my face feeling clean and fresh without it getting red or irritated. It doesn't strip the skin's natural oil either. I usually have trouble removing my gel eyeliner, as it's very stubborn but this melted my eyeliner and eye makeup within seconds. It makes removing makeup so much easier and faster, perfect for those with busy schedules like me~

The Bioderma Micelle Solution really does live up to the hype and was not a disappointment in any aspects. I'm looking forward to trying the Sebum one now! The Sebum solution is more suitable for oily to combination skin (which really is the one I should have got instead).

Rating: 10/10

Have you tried the Bioderma Micelle solution or any micellar waters? ^__^

SMokeKPop Makeup - B.A.P Inspired Eyeliner

Majority of people that saw my profile picture above, asked me how I did my make up.
I simply "copied" my bias B.A.P hahahaha. ^_^ You can see in the pics below where I got my inspiration from. Their thick eyeliner on the lash line and water line. Also the smoked out dark grey/black eye shadow to gives off a sexy and mysterious look.

In the picture above I used a dark brown eye shadow instead of grey/black. In the picture below I used grey/black like B.A.P did. ^^

KPop Blonde Hair Part 1 - Gatsby Ex Hi Bleach Review

Before anyone thinks oh no, this girl changed her hair colour again! LOL don't worry, some of you guys may have known that I was blonde for a while and asked me to write a post on how I achieved it. ^_^ So today I'll be writing like half of it? Because I bleached my hair 3 times but I used different bleach products for each bleach session. For the first bleach process I used Gatsby Ex Hi Bleach. Second and third I used Smart Blonde High Lift and High Lightener & Platinum Blonde Toner (read review here).

The dye came with a tube of cream developer, bleach power and a bottle of liquid bleaching agent. Simple instructions with diagrams. You simply pour the bleach powder into the liquid agent and shake it until its mixed together. Then add the cream developer into the mixture and shake again. Wa-la you are done my friend. ^__^

When applying it to my hair the consistency of the bleach wasn't thick or runny so it was easy to apply and didn't cause a mess. It had a nice fruity citrus smell is was nice, but once everything was mixed together the ammonia smell was super strong and it didn't mange to cover up the smell.

I found this bleach to be stronger than some others I have tried in the past, so it burnt my scalp a little. After using the bleach and after it has finished air drying; my hair didn't feel dry or damaged, the condition of my hair pretty felt the same. Also I found that, it left my hair with a subtle shine. This likely due to the "smooth and shine agent" Gatsby claims the bleach has. However, after washing it a few more time I found that my hair did become fizzy at the ends and kept on tingling, so I had to get a trim. >_<

Results! ^__^"

Before using the bleach I had chocolate brown hair, after 20 minutes I have ended up with a vibrant yellowy orange colour.

As you can see the back is more darker than the front as I applied that area last (I know I should have applied it at the back first). So if you leave the bleach on for 10 minutes you will end up with results near that colour.

Overall

I don't recommend this product, as I find it not very damaging. However, it lightens hair very quickly, so you'll save some time on your hands. The product is super affordable and does give vibrant results but I was slightly disappointed as I did expect the colour to be brighter, maybe I should have left the bleach on over the recommend time on for 30 minutes instead? >_< You can risk leaving it on for the extra 10 minutes but it may damage your hair even more. I rate this product 5/10.

Hope you guys like this! ^__^ If I find more photos, I shall update this post with them. :')
