The L'Oreal Micellar Water

Now I don't know if it's just because I wear contact lenses, but my eyes are super sensitive when it comes to make-up removing products. 

I normally end up reaching for something like the Simple eye make up remover, but I saw the L'oreal Skin perfection Micellar Water on a shelf end and really wanted to give it a try.

The fact that it's for both eye and face makeup really drew me in, as I like products that you can just use in one, get everything off and be done (especially on those lazy or drunken nights!).

I really do think this product is great to be fair. It does what it says on the tin:

- removes makeup (without taking my eyelashes off with it)

-purifies

-soothes

Love it.

The only thing I do find myself reaching for after is some kind of toner or blackhead clearing cleanser, as whilst my skin is left makeup free, I can't help but notice my pores are still looking a little clogged.

But hey, you can't have it all, especially when you asked for a product perfect for sensitive skin.

I'd fully 100% recommend this stuff!

Have you tried any others?

Clinique 'all about eyes serum' Review

After just 2 full days at my new job, I knew that I was going to need something to brighten up my eyes of a morning. Early starts, late nights, and copious amount of hours spent staring at a computer screen are not a good combination for keeping your eyes looking youthful.  After a little browse on the John Lewis website I decided to try this little gem.

Clinique claims this "instantly cooling serum refreshes and hydrates puffy eyes, brightening the eyes area."

 So far so good! I can say that each morning this has been making my face look that little bit more human, and really cooling my eyes, especially when I feel like they're a little bit dry. The little metal roller ball is perfect too!

Rating? 8/10 so far. I don't think I've had long enough to fully ensure the results are lasting, but it's definitely stuck in my morning routine for now!

Do you now of any better eye products for tired eyes?

A must-do in Oxfordshire

Last weekend we went somewhere you have to try if you're visiting Oxford!

The Trout Inn. Despite its' unappealing name, it has the most beautiful setting and delicious food I have come across in a good long while!

Set just outside of Oxford, in a tiny quaint village, this age old pub is constantly bustling. Set right next to the River Thames, it is the best setting for a sunning saturday afternoon drinks and dinner with friends, family, whatever, whoever!

As mine and D's anniversary is so close to Christmas, we decided we would celebrate it in September instead, half because we forgot last year, and also to save the dollar around the most expensive time of the year!

D's dinner choice was typical:

Baked camembert with spiced grape chutney to share

Hooky Battered Cod and Twice Baked Chips 

and the piece de resistance....a sharing desert platter

Mine was the same starter and desert sharer, with a mushroom feta and asparagus tart to substitute the fish and chips.

It is safe to say the food was delicious, not to mention the mammoth jug of Pimms we had to go with it!

I attempted to force a very stuffed D to go for a little walk along  the river. See below for the picturesque and peaceful setting, which was soon broken by D's moaning that he couldn't possibly walk any further as his lunch was just too damn good!

If you happen to be in Oxfordshire soon, give this place a go, its a 10/10 from me! Don't forget to book though, as there wasn't a spare seat to be seen!

Don't forget to let me know if you loved it as much as we did!
