Makeup Wipe Monday #13 Garnier Refreshing Makeup Wipes Normal to Combination Skin

Oh hai!

This week I am focusing on the Garnier Refreshing Makeup Wipes Normal to Combination Skin. These were on sale when I was grocery shopping a while back and I just had to get them. Garnier recently updated their skincare range with adding new products along with updating the packaging on the old.

The ones I picked up are for normal to combination skin, which I always find it difficult it decide whether the wipes suit section skin types. I think if you have skin issues don't use just makeup wipes! These wipes are the bumpy kind that I like, I feel like they remove makeup better with the bumps. These are moist and stay considerably wet for a long period of time in the packet.

Would I recommend these wipes? Yeah I would, I think they are great quality. Will I repurchase them? Maybe if they are on sale.

New Products February 2014

Hey all!
It shouldn't surprise you that I have been shopping lately. I can't seem to stop myself! This were all purchases in February the post is just going up a little later than I expected!



Garnier Micellar  Cleansing Water
This is meant to be a dupe for Bio Derma. I figured I should try it since I love Bio Derma, just not the price tag! I saw this posted on a blog from the UK I think and I was so excited that it came out so quickly in Australia! So when I saw the products in Priceline I had to buy it even though my bank account was begging me not to! I plan to write a review or comparison soon.



Napoleon Perdis Set Palette and Gloss
I got this at Target and it was $14.00 on sale. It was so cheap that I couldn't say no to it. It has 2 blushes, 4 eye shadows, 4 lip colours and come with a separate plumping lip gloss. So far the eye shadows have been amazing quality and the blushes have been extremly pigmented. The plumping lip gloss does sting but I haven't used a plumping product before so I think that would be expected. Overall so far I am very happy with this purchase.

I also made a Kiss and Makeup NY purchase which I got two items



Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution
This is a product that has been on my wish list for years! I don't have dark spots like the names says but I have acne scares and this products has reviews saying it works wonders for those scars. Most of 2013 I was on skin medication and got my acne to clear up, so as a reward for going through the treatment I got this serum.

Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezers in Pink
I don't have a picture for these because surprise surprise I have already misplaced them! These are just a good pair of tweezers which I was desperately needed. I am a fan of doing my eyebrows regularly as mine are hard to manage if I don't do them every few days. So a splurge for a good brand was needed.

Pale Girl Tans #1 Garnier Ambre Solaire

So I am a very new to self tanning, I've always chosen to get a tan professionally  done if I have needed one. For Cheerleading Competitions you need to be extremely tan and I never trusted myself to do this. I have always liked the look of tans though and my collection of self tanners has been growing.

So here is my review of the Garnier Ambre Solaire in Light Natural Bronzer. This product is a spray one and applies clear to the skin. I think that a product that claims to be no streaks shouldn't be clear! The colour itself is decent and looks semi natural, although it is more on the orange side than brown. It isn't green based and that is what you want in a tanner because you won't look orange. The smell of the product is nice and not too fake tan like, though it does have a strong smell. It's more on the fruity side which is enjoyable.

I have to horror stories with this tan. First was that I didn't think it was going to work because it went on clear so I decided to do a test on my arm. I did it on my forearm not thinking that I had work the next day! I had a big orange/brown mark just randomly on my arm for all the customers to see. I didn't think it through at all! The other time because it goes on clear I though I had applied it all over my legs. I was wrong and had streaks all over, I think because I am so new to fake tan that I just failed at knowing where I had applied the tan already.

Will I repurchase this tan, most likely not. At least not in the spray version, I really want to try the rub in version as that is the tan my mother is currently loving. I am not all saying I won't try more Garnier self tanners as I love brand.
