The micellar hype for me started with Bio Derma and since then most beauty or skincare brands have jumped on the band wagon. As someone with dry, blemish prone skin, I always found that micellar waters dried out my skin and just didn't do a good enough job at removing my makeup. Saying that, I always liked to have some on hand for swatching or makeup corrections. I went on the hunt for something different. Something that actually worked for me and then I found this.
I am a huge liner junkie – winged liner specifically. Without it I feel naked and undone. And even though I wear it almost every day, I still have my liner labours. I have very long curly eyelashes. Every girls dream, right? No, not for me. The wand hits my lashes when I try and apply it and clogs them up full of excess product. My lashes stick together and unless I take off my whole face and start again, there is no undoing it. So for me the felt tip or gel potted liners are my saviour. Opaque colour pay off and easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy application. Done. Sold. Winner.
