BEDA Day 1: Avène vs Bioderma: The Battle of the Cleansing Waters

Hello everyone and welcome to the first day of BEDA (Blog Everyday in August). I hope you enjoy today's post. 

Micellar lotions or cleansing waters are all the rage these days. Evidently they are already very popular in Europe but have just recently made their way into North America.

Firstly, I thought I would talk a bit about what cleansing waters are supposed to do and how you are supposed to use them. Cleansing waters are meant to be used in conjunction with a cotton pad to either remove makeup or cleanse the skin. The idea behind them is that you don’t have to rinse them off. They are designed to stay on the skin and work wonders. Many people with sensitive skin rave about cleansing waters because the ingredients are so minimal that they hardly, if ever, irritate the skin. Sounds like a miracle product already, doesn’t it?

One of the most popular cleansing waters is by Bioderma and mine is called the Sensibio H20. I have watched hundreds of YouTube beauty vloggers rave about Bioderma and it’s many benefits. Bioderma is widely available in Europe and the United Kingdom but clearly absent on American shelves. American’s have to order Bioderma online. As I am a lucky Canadian, Bioderma is available for me at Shoppers Drug Mart where I was able to get my hands on a bottle to try out.

Bonus Post: Pre BEDA Dog Love

Hello Everyone,

I am anxiously awaiting BEDA (Blog Everyday in August) which starts tomorrow. In the meantime I thought I would share a dog love post and reveal a little story about my favourite dog in the world.

Coco is a black labrador retriever and she is the second dog I have ever owned. The first was a half labrador retriever and half blue heeler (or Australian cattle dog) named Max. Max was the best dog a little girl could ask for. He was such a fearless Man dog. He was protective of me, he even chased my brother after he hit me (sibling problems). When we lost max, I was heartbroken because once you know the love of a dog (especially at such a young and happy age) you really don't want to live without. Finally when I was 16 (through lots of begging on my part) my parents decided we could get another dog. There was no question in my mind that I wanted another lab like Max so we went to a lady to go view some that she had.

BEDA Starts Tomorrow!!!

Hello everyone, 

Tomorrow launches my baby that I have been working on for a month now, BEDA (Blog Everyday in August). I am really excited for the blog posts I have lined up for all of you. Make sure to check back everyday, as there will be something new and exciting each and every day in August. Make sure to follow my blog so you don’t miss any fun posts in BEDA.

New Things Coming

Hello everyone,

I am so incredibly sorry about the delay in posts. Blogging has always been something I was passionate about starting and work and school and life all got in the way but I don’t want to get into excuses. I want to write for you.

So, August is right around the corner and I have a promise for each and every one of you. If there are any of you out there… I want to post a blog every single day for the month of August. That is 31 blogs in 31 days. I think, no, I know I can accomplish this. I have a slew of skin care and makeup reviews that I want to get up for you guys. I have been obsessed with skin care recently and I want to share my thoughts with you. I have been trying so many products trying to find the one that is best for me and in the process I have come across some good ones and some bad ones. I may throw in a book review or movie review in there. I may even share some type of cooking/baking posts. All I can say for certain is that there will be 31 posts.

I hope you will stay tuned with me on this journey. It is about to get a whole lot better. I thank each and every one of you for coming along and taking time out of your days to read my opinions and thoughts.

I am going to get started already on writing posts so I don’t fall behind in my efforts. Thank you again and I hope you stay tuned for what is coming.

Love Always,

                 Cate
