Escentual had a sale on all their French pharmacy brands - 30% off, or something wonderful like that, which I took advantage of! I had to... even in my broke, unemployed state.
I've used this stuff for a long while now - when I can't be bothered going to the bathroom to use a cleansing oil to remove my makeup. I just grab 3 or 4 cotton pads, soak 'em in this cleansing water and wipe it over the whole face - it cleans my skin of almost all the makeup. It's not as effective as an oil (especially in regards to eye makeup removal), but it's one of the top cleansing waters/micellar solutions out there. I've also tried the Bioderma Sebium H2O Micellar Solution (for oily/problem skin), but I felt like it wasn't as comforting or gentle as this Sensibio one. Oh, and I mentioned this product before in a Bellabox Haul (it had a different name back then!)
I actually got two bottles of these bad boys - it was buy one get one free! Way better than 30% off. :)
I'd been reading on multiple beauty blogs about how great this setting powder was so I figured I may as well get it. I haven't tried it yet because I have a few other setting powders to use up/try out first, and also I just don't wear makeup that often. But I think setting powder is one of those things you'll always need and you may as well stock up on a few different ones! I still have to try out my Bareminerals Mineral Veil powder and my Make Up Forever HD translucent powder.
By the way, it's actually quite affordable, which was a pleasant surprise. Powders can be quite pricey, and I'd never used anything by this brand before so I wasn't sure what to expect.
We all know how much everyone's been raving about this lip balm. I thought I may as well try it out for myself. As it was on sale, I bought an extra. Just for the heck of it. ;)
It's not that honey-scented, which is nice because I don't like honey that much. The consistency is really thick and dense, which I like because it instantly smooths onto your lips and makes them feel like they're wrapped up in a cozy blanket ready for a nap. :)
This is another re-purchase. Cicaplast is great for when my skin is dry and flaky, and I think it also helps with fading my acne scars and evening out my skintone. It's a really smooth gel-type of a treatment which you can wear under makeup (I saw Lisa Eldridge do this) which I've tried and it makes any flaky areas of my skin completely smooth and non-flaky. I mainly use this at night though, to counteract the dryness of my skin from using Proactiv +. My skin is pretty sensitive and sometimes easily irritated, so this Cicaplast product works really well for that. I haven't tried Cicaplast Baume B5, but I hear that one's good too.
