Eau Thermale Avene Micellar Lotion


Moving to Australia meant having a wee change of some of my skin care products. I knew that Australia wouldn't have all the same products which I normally use at home however, I was very gutted when I found it impossible to find my L'oreal 3-in-1 Micellar Sollition. I thought it would be a good opportunity to branch out and try a different one in it's place and so went on the search for Bioderma. After weeks of looking I soon realised that it wasn't available either and so decided to give this a shot!


Eau Thermale Avene is a company which specialises in looking after sensitive skin. It has a very wide range of products which has lead it to being the number 1 brand in French pharmacies and number 2 across Europe. Personally, the only item which I had heard much about is the Thermal Spring Water which has so many benefits for the skin and is one which I'm really looking forward to trying out too. 

But more about the micellar lotion! This is a beautiful cleanser which helps remove every trace of make-up. I was really surprised how much was left on the cotton pad even after I've used make-up wipes AND face wash. It leaves the face feeling extremely fresh and clean. The solution is oil-free, alcohol free and soap free so is perfect for sensitive skin/those who suffer from breakouts. 


I really enjoy using this product and it has become a must in my bedtime routine. My skin condition has really improved since using it, however, when I return home I may be forced to go back to the L'oreal one due to the price difference.

The most annoying thing about getting the Eau Thermale Avene Micellar Lotion is that a week after I bought it I found Bioderma on the shelf of a local drug store. So annoying when that happens!!! But I'm still happy with the back-up choice I made!

Dove Hair Therapy Leave-In Conditioner


Dove hair therapy leave-in conditioning & care spray claims that "the dual formula spray works on two levels- one layer contains Fibre Actives, proven to penetrate into each hair fibre; which the other layer has UV filter that helps to prevent colour fade, maintaining glossy shine and vibrant colour all day long."

Due to the sunshine and high heats that my hair has been experiencing recently (which it definitely isn't use to) my hair has become extremely dry and brittle. So, when I read this on the bottle I was very excited to try it out. 

I cant honestly say that after one use my hair felt instantly softer and is starting to get back into a much healthier condition.


I absolutely love this spray and it's fast becoming my favourite hair product- dare I say it's more of a staple than Batiste dry shampoo!!? Maybe not quite yet but it's very close!

I don't often use Dove hair products so wasn't sure what to expect but what I recieved was an amazing smelling item which did exactly what it says on the bottle and was a very decent price. 

Shake before using to combine the two layers
This claims it can be used on wet or dry hair and I think it's rare to find a product which says this and then doesn't leave you hair looking like straw or feeling extremely sticky when used on dry hair. However, Dove definately delivers on that front. After applying onto dry hair it doesn't weigh it down at all and leaves no trace, other than beautiful smelling hair which is softer that it was five minutes previous to application. 

I cannot get enough of this spray and can't wait to try Doves new items in this range including a dry shampoo and a serum.
