BY TERRY LIP-EXPERT SHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK #TBT REVIEW

Todays #tbt review doesn't go back too far...March to be precise

and having just finished this BYTERRY LIP-EXPERT I thought

it would be a good review to re-post.

I have loved everything about this lipstick; the shade, the packaging,

the texture, the applicator, but not the price, as its expensive.

However that being said, would I re-purchase?

 YES 

as its my perfect lipstick.

Sadly I won't be for sometime, as I have several other lipsticks

to review and use up and I know they won't get used if I 

brought this LIP-EXPERT back into my life

~~~~~~

Another discovery from my BY TERRY Beauty Advent Calendar is

their LIP-EXPERT lipsticks and in particular the SHINE LIQUID formula

in the shade Rosy Kiss

As I've said before beauty advent calendars are such a great way to discover

both brands and products and my BY TERRY one has been an absolute

treasure of discoveries.

I did receive 2 other lipsticks in the LIP-EXPERT MATTE format,

which sadly weren't suitable shades, so I gave them away recently to

a lucky follower.

Inspired by the ever-alluring Parisian style, this high pigment vinyl gloss

 liquid lipstick creates a long-lasting glamorous statement look. 

Featuring a hydrating formula, this liquid lipstick includes a conditioning dose of 

vitamin E to keep the lips moisturised, soft and supple even after repeated

 application.

Formulated to keep your lips hydrated, this lipstick offers irresistible shine 

with a vibrant colour for plump and radiant lips.

Is there any product from BY TERRY that isn't good?

I feel that I have tried and reviewed so many and have still to come

across one that isn't good!

Whilst there are a couple that I wouldn't re-purchased, not because

 I didn't enjoy them, its just that over the years found even better that

have become my firm favourites.

The BY TERRY Micellar Water is one that springs to mind as I'm 

huge fan of the BIODERMA Micellar Water.

If you would like to catch up on my BY TERRY Reviews Click Here

Besides being my perfect shade (Rosy Kisss), 

I may have found my absolute favourite lipstick of all time...

The precise doe foot applicator makes application so easy and the buttery

 formula glides on beautifully and offers a full coverage in one coat.

I found the rich pigment to be long lasting and above all extremely 

comfortable and nourishing on the lips.

I do enjoy a shine finish and this shine formula is the perfect amount, 

so I highly recommend you check out the

BIODERMA SENSIBIO H2O MAKE-UP REMOVING MICELLE SOLUTION #TBT REVIEW

I wrote this original review back in 2020 and this Micellar Water has been

my go to ever since.

After trying and reviewing many Micellar Waters here on BSB this one from

Bioderma really is my absolute favourite, so much so, that I try to buy when

 I see either a 3 for 2 or a discount promo on, so I always have a back-up

ready and that in itself is a sign of a good product.

I also like the fact that they have a variety of sizes which enables you

to purchase a smaller size to try out before opting for the more economical

 larger 250 or 500ml sizes.

*I have listed below some current offers that are running*

~~~~~~

No doubt there have been thousands of reviews written about the

BIODERMA Micellar Water, but never one by me, so I think it's true to say

 I'm very late to the party with this one.

This BIODERMA product has been around for an "age" 25 years to be precise

 and it was the first micellar water that I was ever aware of, yet despite this, 

I'm only trying it now for the first time.

I have reviewed many Micellar Waters here on Beauty Shout Box ranging

from the most infamous and affordable options from Garnier 

(which I do highly rate) through to some mid range and higher priced

French brand offerings.

To read my previous Micellar Water Reviews

The BIODERMA Sensibio range is a collection of products that are often

recommended by Dermatologists and is dedicated to Sensitive skin, that's a 

skin that experiences tingling, overheating, tightness, feelings of 

discomfort and redness.

Even though I don't have a ongoing sensitive skin, this particular 

micellar water was best suited for my skin type, as they do have a 

selection on offer.

In case you've never used a Micellar Water here's a brief rundown;

No Rinse Micellar waters remove all traces of make-up, sebum and various 

other impurities without stripping or damaging skin, all in one step.  

Micellar water is perfect for your daily cleansing routine. 

Use in the morning and at night to gently cleanse while respecting even the

 most sensitive epidermal skin.

The BIODERMA ones are hypoallergenic and contain no alcohol and parabens 

and preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film.

I'm not sure why I've waited so long to try this micellar water from

BIODERMA and its safe to say 'it's been my loss", as I feel I have finally

found my ideal micellar water.

The key to the BIODERMA's success is the formula and the action of 

those important Micelles that are responsible for attracting all kinds

of impurities onto the cotton wool pad and its been obvious to me since

using the BIODERMA that there is a noticeable difference over others 

that I've previously used.

It's fragrance free, it effectively and gently removes the heaviest of 

make-up (including eye make-up) and leaves no residue or feeling of 

tightness on the skin.

I have found myself reaching for this one, more often than any other 

I have used, as it's so easy to pick up and cleanse my skin in the morning 

and again as a first cleanse in the evening.

There is a reason, as to why one bottle of this award winning

BIODERMA SENSIBIO 

Make-Up Removing Micelle Solution

is sold every 3 seconds world wide and that's because its good, in fact

its very good and I seriously regret not trying it much sooner...

RECENT EMPTIES {SEPTEMBER 2022}

My last Recent Empties post was a little over a month ago and here 

is another, as several of the products that I have been using have all

come to an end at the same time.

As you can see from the photo below I have gone through another

regular that often appears on my Recent Empties post 

and the other 3 products are all making their 1st time appearance.

L-R

1.

ELGYDIUM

PLAQUE & GUMS

TOOTHPASTE

This toothpaste was a real throwback for me, as I used to work for

ELGYDIUM way back in the day and it was a great toothpaste

back then and it still is today.

Whilst this French toothpaste brand doesn't fall into the 

"budget" category at R64.99 a pop, it does help to look for 

 the 3 for 2 promotions.

I was kindly gifted this along with another variant.

With chlorhexidine and calcium carbonate, ELGYDIUM Anti-plaque 

toothpaste effectively prevents the build-up of dental plaque every day. 

It also helps protect against tartar and gum irritation.

Not the easiest of products to review but I have been enjoying both 

and I am looking to try their Whitening variant next.

2.

URIAGE

WATERPROOF

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

Some months ago I was needing an eye make-up remover and I 

opted for the URIAGE Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover, not that I 

wear very much waterproof eye make-up, but it's a bi-phase formula,

which I generally enjoy.

This product can also be used to remove lipstick and cleanse the lips.

Whilst it does remove eye make-up and mascara

quickly and super easily it does leave behind a film of grease, which I

personally didn't enjoy, however this

was quickly remedied with a wipe over of a micellar water pad,

a step by the way that's never needed with any of my other bi-phase

eye make-up removers.

That being said, if you don't mind the extra step, this is excellent

remover and I'm sure it would make easy work of all types of waterproof

eye make-up, especially mascaras and stubborn lipstick.

I would re-purchase, but not at the moment as they are more 

removing products that I must first.

CHANEL

LES BEIGES

WATER FRESH TINT

This is another one of those products that was making me more sad

with every use, not because it's a bad product, but rather because

it's nearing the end.

It's like no other product that I have ever tried and whilst it offers zero

 coverage it does reveal a radiant, healthy, glowing and hydrated complexion 

and I absolutely love everything about this product, 

with just one exception...THE PRICE!

I have maybe a couple more applications before it's completely finished.

This was a splurge and one that I have loved and I'm sure I will

re-purchase at some point.

AVÈNE

Eau Thermale

I have mentioned it several times in previous empties posts.

This thermal spring water spray from Avène has been part of my beauty

 life for many years and it's still the best water spray to calm and soothe 

the skin or to just refresh the skin during the hot days, hence why I

go through so many.

If you haven't tried this product yet I highly suggest you add it to

your beauty regime.

ESTHEDERM OSMOCLEAN MICELLAR WATER FOR FACE & EYES #TBT REVIEW

This is quite a recent #tbt review, as it only goes back 12 months to 

July 2021

and unfortunately I haven't tried anything further from this brand due

to having many other brands to review, but I will at some point

and as always I'll give you my honest opinion as to whether it's

one to try or not...

~~~~~~

Having reviewed last month, the

 ESTHEDERM OSMOCLEAN HYDRA CLEANSING MILK

To read my review

this month its the turn of the corresponding

MICELLAR WATER FOR EYES & FACE.

This French skincare brand is relatively new to me in terms of using 

any of their products and I was suitable impressed with their 

cleansing milk, so let's see how this product performed.

 Institut Esthederm Osmoclean Osmopore Face & Eyes Cleansing Water 

completes skin cleansing while respecting the skins surface ecosystem. 

It gives a pleasant sensation of invigorating freshness and prepares your 

skin for skin care products.

Perfect for active, busy people and frequent travellers who like the 

convenience of a three-in-one product, Osmopure Micellar Cleansing Water 

gently removes make-up from face and eyes and leaves skin free from dirt, 

excess oil and harmful bacteria, whilst still able to protect itself 

against external aggressions.

The gentle surfactants form micelles that capture and lift away dirt, 

impurities and pollution particles.

Acts in perfect osmosis with the skin while protecting and preserving

 the hydrolipidic film.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. 

The fresh toning texture leaves skin clean, fresh and soft and

I've been enjoying this Micellar Water, thus far, as it's ticks all the

boxes when it comes to what you expect from a Micellar Water.

Having only used 2 products from ESTHEDERM I'm hoping

to try more from their range in the future, as what I've tried so far

MY FAVOURITE EYE MAKE-UP REMOVERS {2022}

 With the advent of Micellar Waters, Cleansing Balms and other

 multi functional cleansers, the use of eye make-up removers

seems to be on the decline.

I for one have always been a fan of using a separate product specifically

 to remove eye make-up, especially when it comes to mascara.

Over the years I have used so many and I have never written a dedicated

post re my favourites.

From all the options available whether it be a lotion, gel, micellar,

pads or bi-phase my personal favourite type of remover is the latter.

(I must make mention though that I do not have a sensitive eye area)

I will post the Pink Links below which will take you straight to my

 original reviews.

~~~~~~

LANCÔME

BI-FACIL

MAKE-UP REMOVER

I'm starting with a high-end favourite of mine

the Lancôme Bi-Facil Make-Up Remover.

The lipid phase lifts off eye makeup, while the water phase contains

 special emollients to refresh and the condition skin, which I have found

 has become more important to me with age, as the eye area always 

requires more TLC.

What I enjoyed is that despite being non oily, it still did a good job of 

instantly removing not only my eyeshadow and mascara, but made 

light work of my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, which is

 always my benchmark as to how good an eye make-up remover truly is.

This very effective product is worthy of all its accolades and if

 your budget allows, then this is without a doubt an eye make-up to

 seriously consider.

GATINEAU

FLORACIL

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

The GATINEAU Floracil Gentle Eye Make-up Remover was my "go to" for 

many years and I revisited the product a couple of years ago

and it was just as good as I remembered and has since become my

"go to" once again.

 This non-oily, non-drying and non-irritating liquid is highly effective.

I was impressed with how quickly it dissolved my eye make-up, even the

 most stubborn of my mascaras, whilst leaving no residue behind rendering

 it an absolute breeze and pleasure to use.

As with most eye make-up removers Floracil is extremely gentle 

with the same pH as tears; which means, no stinging, irritation or puffiness.

 It's also Dermatologist tested and Fragrance Free.

YVES ROCHER

EXPRESS

EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER

This remover from YVES ROCHER is without doubt my favourite and my most purchased remover all of time and unfortunately since YR withdrew from South Africa I now have to stock up when on my travels and sadly due to covid my 

stash has depleted.

This is a bi-phase eye makeup remover, so expect to see the two phases

 separate out and remember to always shake well before use, otherwise 

the product will be imbalanced and not be as effective. 

The one ingredient is the Organic Cornflower Water which is renowned for being gentle on the skin round the eye and having soothing properties and 

both are often found in many eye products. 

This product is super quick and easy to use and leaves the eye area feeling refreshed, there's no stinging and no real fragrance to mention 

with this product.

For me it's a winner and I highly recommend if you have easy access to 

Yves Rocher.

GARNIER

MICELLAR WATER

If you are looking for a very affordable, yet effective product to remove both

face, eye and lip make-up then you cannot go wrong with the

Micellar Water from GARNIER.

The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is a multi purpose product, 
as it removes make-up, cleanses the face,eyes and lips, 
all without having to remove or rinse off. 

How can one product achieve so much...Well it's all down to the

 Garnier Micellar technology in this all-in-one cleanser. 
The cleansing agents attract and capture the make-up and impurities lifting 
them away from skin, leaving it perfectly cleansed and refreshed.

GARNIER now have a couple of variants, but my review was on the original

 pink packaging for sensitive skin.

There you have it my favourite tried and tested Eye Make-Up Removers

and there's one for every budget.

URIAGE WATERPROOF EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER {REVIEW}

 Uriage 

is a French brand that I have only tried a couple of products from

and I see that its recently been added to Woolworths product line-up.

Here is a reminder as to what Uriage is all about.

"In the heart of the French Alps, Uriage Thermal water has flowed

 for 75 years. 
As the seasons pass by, it gets enriched with minerals and trace elements. 
In the center of the Uriage-les-Bains village, the water spouts to

 create a regenerating thermal spring. 

Unique properties are born from this journey. 
Uniquely rich, it reinforces your skin barrier. 

100% physiological, Uriage Thermal Water is active and natural. 
Uriage laboratory encapsulates its benefits in all products.
Uriage skincare products are pure, protective and powerful"

Some weeks ago I was needing an eye make-up remover and I 

opted for their Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover, not that I wear

very much waterproof eye make-up, but it's a bi-phase formula,

which I generally enjoy.

This product can also be used to remove lipstick and cleanse the lips.

The formula of Waterproof Eye Make-up Remover has been specially 

designed for women with sensitive eyes (not that I have)

It can remove even the most intense make-up (which I don't wear)

 very quickly and its the "very quickly" part that drew me in.

This product is also :

 Hypoallergenic,Fragrance-free and Ophthalmologically tested.

As with any bi-phase product it's vital to shake well before each use

 to mix the 2 phases together.

The make-up removing effectiveness is due to its dual-phase formula: 

the oil phase dissolves waterproof make-up while the aqueous phase

 keeps the product from feeling greasy, unfortunately this is where I had 

an issue with this product. 

Whilst it does remove eye make-up and mascara

quickly and super easily it does leave behind a film of grease, which I

personally didn't enjoy, however this

was quickly remedied with a wipe over of a micellar water pad,

a step by the way that's never needed with any of my other bi-phase

eye make-up removers. If you would like to read my previous

Eye Make-up Remover Reviews click here

It does seems counter productive considering that this remover contains

 Cornflower floral water and Uriage Thermal Water, the "water" part,

which both soothes and ensures a feeling of comfort actually

leaves a feeling of greasiness behind. 

(I did try adjusting the amount applied and shaking the bottle more vigorously,

 but that slippy film was always left behind on the skin)

That being said, if you don't mind the extra step, this is excellent

remover and I'm sure it would make easy work of all types of waterproof

eye make-up, especially mascaras and stubborn lipsticks...
