Trying 'the world's most powerful facial'

This is one of those masks, that I've heard so much about and never give in to buying... until now. I ordered this on amazon and it arrived on the same day... which I still find absolutely crazy! Now I've seen so many amazing before and after pictures from using this mask and before and after pictures really get me. There's something about them that really makes me believe in the product and think this is really going to work!

The mask isn't ready made, it does require a bit of DIY which can be messy, but if you get a good face mask brush and bowl it really cleans up the whole process. The powder is made from 100% natural calcium bentonite clay, which is famous for it's healing properties and it's designed to be mixed with water or apple cider vinegar. I have tried both and have had pretty different results with each mix. But one things for sure this mask has a bit of an odd smell. It smells like rotten seaweed which probably isn’t something that you particularly look for in a face mask but you do get used to it.

Mixing with Water
So when you mix it with water, it doesn't really turn into a liquid and just doesn't go into a spreadable mix. I find it turns into a clumpy mix no matter how much water I add or how much clay I add. This means it takes so much longer to dry and I feel like the mask dries really inconsistencies. When I mixed it with water, I didn't really feel like I believed the hype. My skin was red and I didn't feel any of the pulsing the mask claimed to give. So if you have really sensitive skin this may be the better option.

Mixing with Apple Cider Vinegar
Now... This is incredible. When I mixed the powder with the vinegar, it was instantly more spreadable and the mix was more of a liquid. The mask went on really smoothly and evenly in thickness which meant it dried pretty evenly all over. I really felt my skin pulsing when I used the vinegar and also felt like the mask went a lot harder as oppose to using it with the water. When I removed the mask, my skin was red but this is normal and says this on the packaging. But my skin felt supper smooth and once the redness had gone down, I found the majority of my spots appeared a lot less red and weren't as painful.

This is a really affordable mask and does feel really powerful compared to masks of the same price. The only thing is it does leave my skin really red, which no matter how many times I read it's normal it does scare the heck out of me. But once you get used to it, it just feels and looks normal!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out. The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed. I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash. If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
