The quick cleanse: B Pure Micellar Water

Ever since the beauty world went bonkers for Bioderma after it was declared the makeup artists' weapon of choice for quick makeup removal at Fashion Week, I've wanted to get my mitts on a micellar water. However, up until recently the aforementioned cult product was pretty difficult to get hold of here in the UK, so when new brand on the block B. Pure (stocked exclusively at Superdrug) released their own version for a fiver, a third of the Bioderma price, I really had no excuse to purchase a bottle (and have repurchased it three times since!)

This super easy super quick makeup remover has revolutionised my skincare routine - gone are the days when I would spend copious amounts of time applying heavy cream cleansers! A couple of cotton wool pads doused in this lightweight scent-free formula removes all traces of makeup and leaves my skin feeling perfectly refreshed and impurity free. I then just splash my face with warm water and apply moisturiser and I'm in dreamy nighttime skin heaven - lovely jubbly. 

Oh and just a heads up, to celebrate winning a Cosmopolitan beauty award this is currently on offer at £3.32, saving a third, and in-store only you also receive a free mini makeup bag filled with five generous skincare and makeup samples (all of which I am tres eager to try!) 

Have you jumped on the micellar water bandwagon?

Bonjour Bourjois!

Bronzing Primer, Rouge Edition Lipstick in 10 Rouge Buzz, Little Round Pot Cream Blush in 01 Nude Velvet

It's strange to think that I didn't actually own any Bourjois products up until two weeks ago, and yet I'd now class them as one of my favourite high street brands! I think the parisian based brand have really upped their game in 2013, and I've been loving using the spring/summer releases for a fresh, simple makeup look.

First up is the bronzing primer, which I prefer to use as a cream bronzer rather than a base. A quick swipe of it along my jawbones then blended in with the Real Techniques Buffing Brush (what else?) contours subtly and gives a nice warmth to the cheeks. Then in comes the cream blusher in nude velvet, which is actually the first product of this sort I've ever used. Added to the cheek bones and blended out with the aforementioned brush, this gives a lovely hint of peachy pink to the cheeks and brightens up my complexion a treat - I'm already itching to buy the third shade in the line up.

Lastly, you know how much I love a red lip, and I've been reaching for the rouge edition lipstick in rouge buzz to give an orangey-red popping pout. The creamy, moisturising formula applies like a dream and lasts a fair while too. This little trio has done wonders lately as I've backed away from heavy liquid and powder products as I found they were drying out my skin, so the above products along with concealer and mascara has been my go to face of late.

What do you think of Bourjois and their latest releases?

And to your favourite song we sang along to the start of forever.

Ebay sunglasses

River Island cami

Primark trousers

Zara wedges

I feel a bit sad admitting this, but I have spent the best part of two months searching high and low for this cami, which has involved visiting every river island store within twenty miles of my house bi-weekly to no avail. I had almost given up when I decided to check the website on a last whim and my size had suddenly become available - queue me entering my card details so fast that my mum thought there was a fire. Anyhow two days later it arrived and boy it is a beauty, so silky and the colour is just divine!

Teamed with these elephant print formal jogger / trouser hybrids from Primark, I just adore the two together with simple black wedges and sunnies. A combo I'll be wearing all summer no doubt! I also filmed a little OOTD style video to go alongside this post which you can watch above (don't forget to subscribe too) I hope you're all having fun in the sun, I've got just two exams left and then as of Wednesday at 12 o'clock I'm free forever - yippee!
