Black on black on black. I’ve always wanted a pair of black jeans but the shore girl in me resisted for far too long. HA! Shore girl no more…… We all know Kmart have totally upped their game in the homeware department but what’s happening …
I have THAT child. The one that is obsessed with getting his mitts on anything that cost more than a cup of coffee and may be potentially fragile and expensive to fix. My DSLR has just returned from a holiday at Canon HQ and now …
So, in keeping with my new resolution to actually spend a little bit of time each day taking care of my skin, I have added a product to my limited routine which can get all of it’s work done at night while I’m catching up on (not enough!) sleep.
You won’t be surprised to hear that I have never used a night cream before. Previously, if I bothered to remove my makeup before bed, I would just pop on whatever daily moisturizer I was currently using and call it a day.
Sadly, advancing age and a recurring failure to drink enough water means I often wake with my skin feeling dry and looking sallow and worse than it did before bed!
Some new products take longer to get used to than others, as such, it’s taken about a week for my skin to settle down after introducing Trilogy Rosapene Night Cream. This is an intense moisture surge that initially left my skin feeling slightly oily and caused a few spots. Happy to report that this is now a thing of the past and my skin looks positively freaking dewy when I wake up! Adding a night cream has made a huge difference in how my skin feels throughout the day, starting with a hydrated base is resulting in a much more natural, smooth makeup application, and I find that afternoon oil-slicks are now a thing of the past. I’m picking this is probably due to my skin no longer feeling like it’s got to produce huge amounts of oil to compensate for it’s dehydrated state?
So, here’s the vital stats;
Why do I need it?

We are crazy about eggs in this house {I’m pretty sure I’ve told you that about 100 times already!}, but everyone in our house LOVES eggs. We go through around 2 trays a week and eat eggs made every way imaginable, a couple of times …
Oh Bubbydo. You make everything just that little bit more exciting. ‘I help it’ is keeping us on our toes these days. You’re everywhere at once. Waiting for us to let our guard down and leave eggs on the bench unattended. You are an opportunist …
I haven’t put up any Easter decorations for years, usually because they are in the Christmas storage boxes and who can be bothered digging through those in March! However this year I remembered to pull the Easter stuff out as I was packing away the Christmas Tree, voila! How cute is that bunting? $2.50 from Kmart!
We have just made our second, DELICIOUS batch of EasiYo and our whole family is totally hooked on both the process {so, so simple} and the result – thick and creamy yoghurt in the yummiest flavours! I’ve wanted one of these simple, effective kitchen helpers …
These are the days you wait for. I also have a feeling these are the days you miss the most when they are gone. My faithful sidekick, with me every minute of the day, screaming “BUBBY-do!!” at every turn, at every milestone throughout the day …
Gosh I was excited to review this new beauty product. Let me tell you, I am the Laziest Lazy Girl there is when it comes to cleansing my face and removing makeup. More often than not I will collapse into bed way later than I should with zero energy or inclination to put any more obstacles between me and my pillow. I really, really dislike splashing around in the sink using traditional cleansers before bed, especially when its cold, plus my skin doesn’t cope well with the residue left behind by cleansing wipes, so I was crossing my fingers and toes that I would fall in love with Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
So, the verdict.
I have been using this miracle in a bottle for about 3 weeks now, and haven’t slept in makeup once over that period! This is HUGE news people. It’s one of those products that is really satisfying to use. The results are instant and visible, in fact, I’m even going to say that my skin looks the cleanest it ever has after a few gentle swipes with Garnier Micellar Water dotted on a cotton ball. I’ve also been using it after running if I can’t take a shower right away and love how fresh my face feels (even if the rest of me is totes stinky and gross lol).
The science behind Micellar water is impressive, micelles are suspended in the formulation and act as little magnets, easily capturing impurities, makeup and sebum from the skin. Because nothing is left behind, this 3-in-one cleanser is perfect for all skin types, even sensitive skin!
Basically, I’m calling this a life changing product, it’s shown me how clean my skin can and should be and how easy and NOW inexpensive a micellar water is to use. Previously only available from high-end, luxe brands (think $$$), it’s super exciting that mummy supermarket warriors like me can pick some up from a trusted brand like Garnier for only $12.99 RRP! Expect excellent value for money as one bottle should see you through 200 applications – unless of course Ethan is doing your makeup every day!
Love, love, love it! Add it to the grocery list right now!
