FINALLY

I cannot express how happy I am to finally be able to get this stateside without paying an arm and a leg (Beautylish's price is less half of what I had previously been paying for a 500 mL). This is my HG makeup remover and I also often use it as a standalone cleanser as my skin tends to hate regular cleaners. Bioderma always leaves my skin feeling calm and smooth, never tight and dehydrated. Very efficient in removing makeup without leaving a trace including regular and water resistant mascara (I don't use WP). I do typically rinse with water afterwards just because I don't like the idea of leaving any kind of cleansing ingredients on my skin, but I've never had any issues the couple of times I haven't. By comparison, I've also tried Vichy and Garnier (pink bottle) and found them irritating (and the Vichy leaves a film/has fragrance).

Lovely!

I'd been holding out on trying Becca's highlighters because, until Pearl, my only real option for a true highlight was Moonstone due to my pale skin tone and the fact that I already have a gold highlighter I love. After swatching all 3 formulas I decided to go with the poured because it was more on the pearly/luminous side and seemed easiest to control the opacity. The color is gorgeous and really unique -- it's a cool, silvery white that gives an ethereal glow without looking unnatural (I use a synthetic stippling brush). It stays put all day and doesn't emphasize my pores or texture issues, nor does it make me look oilier. It also works awesome on the eyes as an inner corner highlight.
