Skincare Edit | Garnier Oil - Infused Cleansing Water

I could not be more in love with Micellar Waters. They’re so fuss free and easy to remove make-up; they’ve become such a crucial step to my bedtime skincare routine.

Over the last few months, I’ve tried many different Micellar Waters, my favourite being the Garnier one for combination skin, as it doesn’t dry out my skin and leaves it feeling thoroughly cleansed. However, the other version for sensitive skin (the one in the pink bottle) irritated my eyes and made them really red and sore. Thankfully, Garnier have introduced a newest member to the Micellar Water family, this time for dry skin so I had to try it.

The Garnier Oil-Infused Micellar Water is specifically designed for dry and sensitive skin, which sounds like something made for me and my dry skin woes! The Micellar Water is separated from the oil product which sits beautifully on top; all you need to do is shake it up to use.  

Initially, I was put off by its extremely oily feel; I expected it to be watered down slightly due to the mass amount of water. The scent is beautiful and not too overwhelming, which is important for a face product. Most importantly, the oil-enriched formula cut through make-up so easily, better than the other Micellar Waters from Garnier. Eyeliner and mascara came off like a dream! However, at the end of application my skin was left feeling overly oily which I didn’t like. My face felt very greasy to touch and the product just sat on my skin rather than nourishing it, which I found disappointing.

After a few days of use my skin seemed to break out a little, small blemishes around my nose and mouth. I think this could be due to using this product as I haven’t added anything new into my skincare routine. Although, that being said, this could be a good thing? The Micellar Water is cleaning the dirt and bacteria out of my pores, which has resulted in a little breakout. I’m hoping this will clear up after some use.

Overall, I did enjoy using this product but I’m having a few teething issues at the moment so I’m hoping to work my through these! I absolutely loved the way it cut through make-up, this makes bedtime come around a lot quicker too! The price of this product is £5.99, so only £1 more expensive than the other Micellar Waters in the range and for its cleaning power, it's definitely worth the extra £1. 

Out of 10, I would probably give this product five. Shop it here: 

I’d love to hear what you thought about this product.

Skincare Edit: L'Oreal Pure Clay Detox Mask Review

Getting a clay facial is probably a highlight of any spa trip but now we can get well and truly pampered in the comfort of our own homes, in our PJs and catching up on your favourite series on Netflix. All thanks to the beauty giants, L’Oreal, who just launched three new clay masks to give us that spa experience without the expensive price tag.

Each mask is targeted for a specific skin type:

•  For oily skin: The Purify Clay Mask with Eucalyptus which helps to mattify oily skin
•  For dull skin: The Glow Clay Mask with Red Algae to exfoliate and illuminate skin
• For normal skin: The Detox Clay Mask with Charcoal to draw out impurities

I decided to buy the Detox Mask for normal skin as I was in need of a thorough cleanse and this works to suck out all the dirt and oil from your pores. It’s creamy and rich in texture and easy to apply. I applied a light layer to the face avoiding the eyes and mouth and left it on for 10 minutes.

Afterward, my skin did feel noticeably cleaner and my pores smaller however my skin did feel tight and quite dry. I would say this is a down side, although this could be due to leaving the mask on for slightly longer than the allotted time (12 mins instead of 10).

Overall, this product was fun and easy to use and no doubt my skin reaped the benefits of a good detox mask. I have definitely incorporated this into my Sunday night-time routine, even though I’ll be scrubbing the clay out of my hair line until Tuesday!

What’s your favourite clay mask?

Wednesday Wishlist | 90s Blush

Wednesday Wishlist | 90s Blush by nancycamp1 featuring adidas sneakers


I've wanted a bomber jacket for the longest time but I've struggled to find the perfect one for my shape. This one is less 'puffer' and more slimline, which works better with my shorter top-half. The blush shade would be the perfect addition to my light jacket collection for this awful SUMMER we're having. 

My love affair with culottes continues, this time to three-quarter length ones that graze above the ankle. I love the colour and shape of this River Island pair 

Adidas Pink Superstars, what the hell? Are these not the greatest shoes ever? Totally in love with these but I'm very worried of how dirty they'll get with my clumsy footing. 

Rose-Gold Ray-Ban's in Clubround, need I say more? These have to be my glasses of choice for an upcoming trip I have planned. Mirrored lenses are super trendy at the moment, and the rose-gold effect couldn't be any more perfect. 

The 90s have been taking over as a real trend lately, from grungy sandals to top knots and chokers. Chokers have been seen on the best 90s fan-girls from Zoella to Kylie Jenner, so I needed to add this onto my wishlist. 

I'm very drawn to blush pinks ever since my room re-decoration. What colours have you been buying lately? Tag me in your purchases @nancycamp
