Cleansing Water

One of the many advantages to living in France is the easy access to great skin-care products! I heard so much about Bioderma through the blogging world so could't wait to see what all the hype was about. I have also tried Sephora's own version so I thought i'd give you my thoughts on the new trend of 'cleansing waters'.

Bioderma travel size - RRP €3.50
Sephora mini cleansing water - RRP €3.00

I am the most lazy person when it comes to cleansing my skin - its just boring and timely lets be honest. So these cleansing waters are definitely right up my street! I just pour a few drops onto a cotton pad, wipe over my face and voila - done. They are both extremely similar products and do pretty much the same thing - they are unscented, gentle on the eyes and great for sensitive skin. If I had to pick one it would be Bioderma just because I feel like it really takes every spot of make-up off gently.

Do you like to use cleansing waters?

September Favourites

A couple for my favourite bits and bobs that I have been enjoying this month...

Clothes
I have been absolutely loving Bershka this month! Back home there isnt a shop near me but here they are all over France. I love the fashion and it is sooo cheap. I purchased some jeans, 3 tops and skirt all for 60 euros the other day. Not too shabbyy. The crochet/lace top I am wearing below was in the Bershka sale for 9.99 euros. 

Sephora
Oh its tempting. Its oh so tempting. I have only bought a couple of things so far but one of which was the Urban Decay Naked Basics Pallette. Im very excited to try it out! 

TV
Top of the Lake
I was recently sent the DVD of 'Top of the Lake' - a drama which was aired on BBC2 a few months ago back. If you enjoy watching mystery-suspense programs this is worth a watch! It is full of twists throughout - I am only part way through it but I would definitely recommend so far.

Great British Bake Off
This program staggers me how every time I watch it I get so absorbed and tense about the rise of the dough or consistency of the custard. If you don't watch it - do. Very easy watch on a Tuesday evening!

Music
I have been loving all sorts this month. In particular I have enjoyed:
Lana Del ReyHer whole album but especially Summertime Sadness and Blue Jeans
The Other TribeThis is one of the bands I saw at Fieldview Festival this year. If you haven't heard of them definitely give Skirts and We Should Be Dancing.
Bears DenThey are very chilled and amazing musicians - if you enjoy Mumford and Sons or City and Colour then give them a listen.
James Blake
He never gets tiresome, Retrograde is amazing.

What have you enjoyed throughout September?
