Avène Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser Review ☆☆☆☆

"This ultra mild cleansing gel is kind to young problem skin, while at the same time satisfying it's need for purity." This is what the back of the bottle claims, and is really pretty much what it does. It lathers very easily which I like, if cleansers don't lather I dont feel like I'm getting a proper clean, but after using this i feel like my face is truly cleansed. The opening mechanism is a little irritating, I always seem to get leftover drops of it that didn't go onto my sponge around the edge of the top, but it's just a matter of getting it all off, it's a very hygenic method I think. I don't use it every day as I don't really have very oily skin (I just get some blackheads on my nose/chin/T-zone) and so I tend to get a little dry if I use it too often, but it's the perfect thing at the end of the day if I've been wearing make up, to make sure I've really washed everything off after using make up remover. Also my Clinique Dramatically Different will pretty much sort out the dryness. My brother also uses this ^_^ I can't remember what I paid for it as I've had it for about a year (and yet I'm only half way through it) but I think it retails at around €10-15. I think it may be cheaper in here in Spain than the US (I read someone paid $35 dollars for one of these O.o) and other countries, probably because it's imported from France which is much closer than other countries. A reccommended product for a very effective, affordable cleanser.

Astor Eye Make Up Remover Review ☆☆☆☆

There isn't much to say about this make up remover except - it's a perfectly good product that meets its claim of being "gentle and effective". It's very effective in removing makeup. I will usually soak a cotton pad with a bit of this, hold it over my eye for a few seconds, slide it down two or three time, across under my eye once or twice, and all my eye make up will be off. I also use it for the rest of my face. I much prefer this to make up removes wipes, I find they usually irritate my eyes and skin and you need to rub a lot before you get your make up off. The only downside to this is that if you saturate the cotton pad too much and get quite a bit of it in your eyes it can be a little unpleasant, in my case my eyes will just start tearing up, but as soon as I rinse it off with cold water it's fine. It's oil free, alcohol free, and completely water based. It was only a few euros at my local shopping centre. A recommended product if you're looking for a good, cheap make up remover.

Maybelline NY Line Definer Liquid Eyeliner Review ☆☆☆☆

This is going to be a quick one :3
I bought this to do a pinup look. I think it cost just under 10€.
The brush is dense and does not bend, it's just like a felt tip. The color is also very dense.
I bought it in black, you can also get it in black/brown for a softer day look.
Once it dries, which takes seconds, it will not smudge. It is water soluble so you can correct it with a wet Q-tip. I recommend putting it on before your foundation so that you don't get "foundation free spots" if you need to correct it.
It does not irritate my eyes and comes off easily with makeup remover.
Highly recommended!

Much Love,
