#Magnitonebabe Wipeout! Cleansing Cloth Review

Anybody following my Instagram account will know that I have just become a Magnitone Brand Ambassador! Super exciting stuff. And as I am now a Magnitone Babe, I have been ever so lucky enough to receive a box of goodies to review, especially for you guys! 

The first of their products that I have been particularly excited to review is their Wipeout! Cleansing Cloth, a cloth makeup remover that works just by adding hot water! It's great for those with sensitive skin, looking to avoid nasty and harsh chemicals. 
After giving it a good soak in the washing machine at 30, I tried it out for the first time yesterday evening, and it did not disappoint. The cloth is like the softest and fluffiest flannel you have ever touched and wipes off your face in seconds. You don't have to scrub at your face harshly, and its soft on your skin, perfect for me as so many products end up stinging my face! 
 The only downside is that unlike your common makeup wipe, you can't just throw it in the bin and get rid of the makeup remnants, it does leave a stain on the cloth. I suggest using the cloth nightly, and then after a week popping it back in the washing machine for a good clean, so it's then spic and span for the next! 

Thanks so much, Robyn and the team at Magnitone. Next up will be the Barefaced Daily Cleansing Brush- looking forward to it! Grab your own cleansing cloth HERE

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Review



I've been meaning to review this product for a while, you can't escape it, its absolutely everywhere on Instagram. It's every bloggers go-to, so I thought it was about time I saw what all the fuss was about. At a pretty expensive price (£10) I was hoping for good things! 

As some of you may know from my previous reviews and posts, I tend to steer clear of makeup wipes as I have very sensitive skin and they often sting my eyes and face. At the moment I tend to stick with Garnier's Sensitive Skin Micellar Water, A product that I have also reviewed and is one of the only products that I repeatedly buy month-in and month-out, so Bioderma has a lot to live up to! Picking up the product in the chemist I found myself thinking 'its the same product for double the price. Why am I buying this?!', but hey I fell into the instagram trap. If other bloggers love it then so must I... right? 

After using this product for two weeks I can say that It is definitely a good makeup remover that treats sensitive skin with care. Dare I say it, it may even be just as good as Garnier's masterpiece that is their Micellar Water, but there is one thing that is better, and some people may say justifies the doubled price... the strength of the remover. You only need a few drops of this micelle solution to remover a full face of makeup! I find myself squirting ample amounts of Garnier's solution on a cotton wool pad before taking off my face, but this only needs one or two drops and you're done! In conclusion, you may say that although this product is £10, that it will last just as long if not two-three weeks longer than it's competitors, and is worth the price. It's weighing up the options and whether you can justify spending £10 on a makeup remover. For myself, I will be buying this product when I want to treat myself, but for when I'm budgeting and looking to save money, I'll be sticking to Garnier. 

Hope you've enjoyed this review!

Beauty On A Budget: The Best Makeup Removers


Finding the perfect makeup remover for my skin is a constant and epic struggle. I suffer from sensitive and dry skin, but when using the wrong products it can also shift in the opposite direction and become greasy and spotty (I hope I'm not the only one!). So when it comes to trying out new makeup removers I'm all for it! I've always struggled with using makeup wipes as typical brands such as Johnson's, Nivea, Neutrogena and own brand skincare ranges leave my eyes stinging and watering- so I'm always on the lookout for a product that not only swiftly leaves me makeup free, but is also pain-free! I've done a quick round-up of my current top makeup removers, that are especially good for those with sensitive skin. Hope you enjoy!

These are the most recent addition to my makeup remover collection. I received them as a freebie from my Fat Buddha Yoga Class last week along with your typical health bars and coconut water. I highly recommend these wipes, they are one of the few that doesn't sting my eyes and are super gentle on your skin. The only downside is that I feel you need to scrub your face quite hard to make sure all of your makeup is off, otherwise you wake up with panda eyes in the morning, and nobody wants that! 
Can you see a trend forming yet? Yeah, I'm kind of in love with micellar, it's a beauty product that I love as it's extra gentle on your skin, unlike other harsh removers. I have previously reviewed this remover in the past, but my opinion remains the same. This formula was great and left my skin clean and pain-free within a few wipes. I only have two criticisms; 1. The bottle says to push down twice and apply, I would instead recommend pumping at least 3-4 times (but no biggy), and 2. The smell of the product isn't that great. For something like this I'd say either go completely scentless or go full-on, this was neither and smelt a bit like a mild bathroom cleaner (I've got to be honest). All in all, this is a great product, I will be using it until the bottle is finished, but I'm not sure if I'll be purchasing it again.
I've raved about this product on a number of occasions, but I can't help it! It's truly one of the best makeup removers I've ever used, and it's perfect for my sensitive skin. This specific green formula is a combination for sensitive skin, but the original pink colour 'for even sensitive skin' is just as soft on my skin. 
 An added bonus is that it doesn't dry out my face, usually, waters and tonics removers do this, but my skin is left super smooth and clean.
As you've probably seen Yes To are a current favourite brand of mine and have featured at my Brand Of The Week around a month ago. I decided to try out these coconut wipes as they are supposed to relieve dry and cracked skin. The wipes smelt great and took off my makeup fairly easily, but unfortunately did sting my eyes, but many of my friends now swear by these after my recommendation- so for those with less sensitive skin I'd say give these a go! 
These were a clear winner for me, along with the new Simple wipes, these are the only two brands that have left my skin sting free, fresh and clean. The smell is refreshing and subtle, perfect for everyday use! 

I hope this helps anybody looking to change-up their skincare routine and try out new makeup removers.

Love,
K.
