Face mask review

beauty
I am all for face masks if they are going to improve my skin, so i saw these on the Wish app for £2 including delivery and you get 10! The only downfall from ordering off Wish is that the delivery takes so long! Literally weeks. 

The mask itself is a black and thick substance. It doesnt really have a smell and when it's applied it's very thick and shiny. It takes up to 30 minutes to dry and when it does it feels quite tight.


Peeling the mask off is a task. Especially when you have those little hairs on your cheeks because this mask will rip those out! It is painful so i wouldn't recommend  it for anyone with sensitive skin. 

When you have peeled it off it leaves your skin so soft and pulls the trapped dirt out. For the price of these and how many you get i think they are great!

I love trying out new products hoping to find the perfect consistency without the product being either too thick and caking or with no coverage.

Ever since buying the MAC foundation which was a BIG waste of money I have always been cautious buying high end foundations. A lot of people say good things about the Estee lauder double wear and how it's full coverage but then again others say its thick and cakey. I wanted something that was going to be good coverage but wasn't some pore clogging cakey product.

The Collection foundation was good coverage but it sank into my pores and made my skin look so greasy which wasn't a good look or feeling. You get what you pay for and with the Collection foundation being £5.99 you cant complain and it is a bargain. This would be perfect for someone who doesn't have a quite oily face.

I thought I would try out the Bourjois healthy mix from Superdrug as Sarah Ashcroft used it a lot in her Youtube videos and it looked amazing. Reading about it and watching reviews on Youtube I decided to buy it and with it being £9.99 its a really affordable price. I've only worn it once since buying it as it came yesterday and I'm already in love with the consistency. It applies on the skin smoothly and is amazing coverage.

I use the Maybelline Baby skin Instant pore eraser under it which is also amazing! It is such a soft product and makes my skin look poreless (is it says on the packaging). Although, I wasn't expecting it to be as small as it is I thought it would of been bigger like the Rimmel primers.

Morphe 35K Palette

beauty
Here are my first impressions of the Morphe 35K koffee palette! I originally wanted the 35O palette but they are ALWAYS out of stock so i got this one instead. This was my second choice and i love it! I've never owned a Morphe palette and theres no reason why it's just never crossed my mind to buy one, I always see Youtubers use these palette in their videos and so i thought i'd give one a go! 
If im honest i wasnt expecting great pigmentation from the product as i found the palettes looked cheap but i am so amazed by how pigmented the colours are! 
The colours are gorgeous and they are so easy to apply and blend! I actually think these are a bargain for the price with being just under £20 they are amazing and i will definitely buy more! 
The colours are warm shades with mixture of mattes and shimmers! I got mine from HERE from Beautybay. 
Im never one to buy big branded products because of how overally priced some of their items are but this brand is amazing! 
Overall i think this palette will be perfect for everyday use especially with the warm toned colours they will come in handy for both Summer and Winter looks.

Foundation Review

beauty
So i've recently ran out of my Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation and i thought i'd try something new but cheap as i dont really need a heavy full coverage foundation because my skin is pretty clear. 

I thought the Rimmel foundation was thick and clinged to random areas on my face so it looked blotchy. I also bought it in the shade Soft beige so it a tad darker than my natural skin tone which was hard to blend into my neck colour. It isnt suitable for if you have dry skin because i feel that it just makes it appear alot worse. 

I decided to purchase the Collection foundation because i've heard really good reviews and for the price which is £5.99 i thought that i'd have to try it out. I also really like the packaging because it's not too bright and has a matte glass affect which i think makes it very appealing. I got the shade Ivory 2 as my natural skin tone is quite light. On the back of the bottle it says 
• Lasts for up to 16 hours
• Flawless coverage
• Minimises imperfections
• SPF 20 
• Oil free
Even though it says oil free my face still gets very oily with this on but my face is that skin type so thats probably why. Thats why i didnt purchase the illumate one. 
The consistancy isnt too thick or thin so it's great for when you dont want that heavy cakey look but at the same time you want a nice natural looking coverage.
The coverage is buildable, i only apply 1 layer on as i dont need to cover anything really because my skin is clear. 
You can buy this foundation from Superdrug and online stores such as Amazon and the Collection website itself. 
I also use 2 concealers so thats why i dont need the coverage, i use these to add abit of colour to my face. I use the shades Porcelain and Natural Ivory from the L.A. Girl Pro HD concealers.

How i got my pink hair!

beauty

If you follow my Instagram you will know i have pink hair which was inspiried by Kicki Yang's video !

I used the Lariché directions semi permanent conditoning hair colour in the shade Flamingo Pink! It only cost me £2.96 which is amazing for the product! 

The product itself is very pigmented and does last a while, mine takes about 7 washes until it's very light and the normal colour of your hair is showing. I mix it with alot of conditioner as i dont want it bright and vibrant i like it to be a pastel/baby pink. 
You only leave it on for approximately 15 minutes after applying it to your head which is so good for when you're used to sitting around with a dye on your head for like 40 minutes. You get 88ml which is amazing for when you only use a tiny bit and so it will last you a hell of a long time and it's so easy to keep up with and top up. 
This product has not been tested on animals as it says on the tub which is so good because i've recently been put off MAC because of rabbits and other animals being tested on! 
This is the colour of mine when i have mixed it with conditioner (any conditioner will do, preferably a cheap one as you will use alot to get a light pink colour) The colour depends on what your hair is, if it is dark then i suggest getting it as light as possible before applying the colour for best results! 
I love it and highly recommend this brand of dye to anyone who wants to go a different colour for a cheaper price! They do a big choice of colours too, such as blue, green, red, orange & purple ect. 

If you like this colour or want to try another colour from this brand then you can buy it here at Amazon! 


Why you should drink green tea

beauty

Even though green tea tastes like pure ming, it's so good for you and is packed full of healthy substances and benefits! 
I try to have a green tea atleast once a week, mainly served hot but sometimes I drink it cold.
Here are some facts- 
• It's loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. 
• It improves the brain function.
• It increases fat loss and boosts the matabolic rate (which it's best known for) 
• It lowers the risk of cancer! 
• Contains small amounts of minerals which are important to health (obviously) 
• Buy a higher brand of tea as cheap brands can contain excessive levels of fluoride. 
•The compounds in the tea can improve your brain function therefore can make you smarter! 
• It kills many bacteria. 
• Improves dental health & lowers infections! 
• Decreases risk of dying and can help you live longer. 

Green tea doesnt taste that nice but when you start to drink it frequently you get used to the taste like i have. You can buy green tea from anywhere, even in a tablet form from holland and barrett! Any supermarket sells them, so if you want to lose weight or to have a little detox then green tea is highly recommened! 

A men's product as a primer?

beauty

I need to prime my face or my makeup just washes off and goes all oily. I have just ran out of my Rimmel primer 'stay matte' and i thought i'd try the Nivea mens post shave balm! Since so many beauty vloggers and bloggers say it's so good i thought i'd try it out, plus you get quite alot! 
The smell is pretty off putting because it smells of men (aftershave) but once it's on you cant smell it, especially when you apply yout makeup over it. You rub it into your face until it feels tacky then you apply your makeup, i really like it! I was in a hot environment working around coffee machines and heaters and my makeup didnt go oily one bit!
So i'm really pleased with this product, especially for £3.52 in Superdrug! I definitely recommend this even though i've used it a couple of times!

Best brow product i have discovered!

beauty
Today my aunty gave me this fibre brow enhancer from Silk oil of morocco. I fell in love with it instantly!! If you want fuller and thicker looking eyebrows then is definitely what you need! It costs £19.99 but it is definitely worth the price tag.

How to create a messy bun!

beauty

I've learnt a way of making this messy bun look from Hrhcollection on Youtube. I absolutely love her! This tight top knot is so simple and quick! You will need-
  • a brush/comb
  • a clip with a grip
Step 1 : brush all your hair forward and hold it like you're about to put it into a bobble. 
Step 2 : when you have it all on top of your head in your hand you need to twist it so it ends up twisting around itself and makes a tight ballerina looking bun. 
Step 3 : then taking a clip such as a crocodile clip or some sort of clip with a good grip, you will clip that leftover bit of hair to your head. 
Messy bun no.2
What you need for this look:
  • Brush
  • Bobble
Step 1: brush it into a high bobble on top of your head, instead of creating a bobble stop half way down the hair like this.

Step 2: pinch the two sides of the bun pull them out so it creates this.


Step 3: when you're hair looks like this, you're going to pinch them two same sides again and you will rotate it half way like this.


Final step: now that you have created this bun you can leave it throughout the day ( maybe touch up and redo a few times) and it will create its own 'messy bun' look as hair will start to loosen.


Hope this has helped you!
