Beauty Review: L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing Oil

So here it is, my first beauty post! Something I've been wanting to do for a while but wasn't sure if I was 'qualified' enough to write about it, so to speak. Its with the support of the blogging community that this post has finally made its way to being public for your viewing pleasure. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it...

Whilst I was at uni I didn't really feel like I had the time or a stable enough routine to cleanse my face with anything other than LOTS of miscellar water, and the odd face mask if I was treating myself to a pamper day. So, in my excitement for moving back home I decided to change up my cleansing routine and find a better way to rid my pores of the loveable grime we know as make up.

Whilst searching, I decided that as much as I was (and still am!) lusting after the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, it was too pricey for someone fresh out of uni and searching for a graduate job. In the end I decided on the L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing Oil; despite not being able to find many reviews of the product at the time I was purchasing it, I was drawn to the product by my trust in the brand, and as it was on offer for around half price (this was pre-blog so I can't remember exactly how much it was I'm afraid) it was too good to refuse for my first venture into oil cleansers.

As someone who has slightly oily skin, I have always been put off trying an oil cleanser. That is, until I began to read that oil cleansers could actually balance your skin out! Too good to be true? Definitely not!

After a long day of wearing a 'full face,' I'm sure you'll agree there is nothing better than finding a trusty product to take it all off quickly. After the first few times of using this product, I thought my skin felt quite oily for someone who had just supposedly cleansed, and wasn't completely convinced I was happy with the oil cleanser. However, I persevered, and now find I no longer feel the need to use a miscellar water afterwards. I know there is a lot of hype around the double cleanse at the minute, but its a testament to the product's ability to break down even the most waterproof make up quickly that a double cleanse isn't required afterwards - it really is a miracle worker! In fact, I sometimes still use a miscellar water soaked cotton pad afterwards as reassurance that my face is cleansed properly, but there is never a trace of make up to be seen! All I need is three pumps of the Miracle Cleansing Oil and a bit of water to let my skin breathe freely again.

Overall, as you can probably tell, although I was very unsure about using an oil cleanser at first, I am now completely sold and very impressed with this product!

Have you tried the Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing Oil? Are there any other oil cleansers you think I need to try? I would love to hear your thoughts on my first beauty post too!

Thanks for reading! x

P.S. I know my photography leaves a lot to be desired but I'm working on it - any tips for me?
