Mask Attack





I love a face mask as much as the next person does, so on my ventures I was able to pick up these masks when I was in Asia. I love being able to venture around asian supermarkets/drug stores and see what new wonderful beauty products they have.

Along my ventures I managed to grab myself a snail mask, yes you are probably thinking snail! Do not fear it's probably one of the most moisturising and softest "natural" ingredients I've ever tried. It really does leave you feeling softer than a baby's bottom. In Asia I realised that snail products hold quite a big part in their beauty regime and nearly every consignment that I went to had some sort of product that involved snail secretion on their shelves including hand creams.

The Acai berry and the kelp masks both leave your skin feeling moisturised and nourished, especially when you feel like your face needs a pick me up. Overall, these mask were a great buy which I will be repurchasing when I next get the chance

Lets get fresh faced








So removing your face makeup can be tedious, When buying a makeup cleansing oil you want to ideally make sure that it is removing it effortlessly and is leaving you with a make up free fresh face.


Over the past couple of months i have been using the ESTĒE LAUDER perfectly clean cleanser/toner/makeup remover mousse and The BODY SHOPS camomile silky cleansing oil, from using both of these products they differ for me majorly.


The EL perfectly clean mousse should have removed the EL Double wear foundation that i wear with ease, as the woman at the counter said this product was made especially to remove this but i found that it left me with quite a bit foundation on my face which is obviously not ideal and not what i wanted. I love the idea of how they have tried to combine this product to be a cleanser and a toner whilst also being a makeup remover but for me it didn't do what i had hoped it to.


Now for the BODY SHOPS cleansing oil, I had read reviews on this product and there is a lot of hype surrounding it and thought i must try this out for myself . This amazing product does what it says and thats what i love, it removes all of my makeup effortlessly and removes waterproof mascara with ease, yes its an oil based product which i try and steer away from as i do have quite oily skin but this does not affect me at all i either wash it off with lukewarm water or use a flannel.


I hope this helps you if you are in the market for a new makeup remover / cleanser , also let me know of any cleansers that you use and think are great products as I'm always in the market to try new things .
