Review of Lush "cupcake" fresh facemask


I’m going to review a recent purchase of the "cupcake" fresh face mask from Lush cosmetics. I have use this facemask a few times prior to writing this review and I have honestly nothing but love for it. For years, I have suffered with my skin both spot and blackhead wise and have never been able to find any kind of help from any brand then I went into Lush about 3 years ago, tried it and never went anywhere else. Something else which I love Lush Cosmetics is that they are cruelty free and don’t test on animals.

Lush cosmetics have a selection of face masks both in store and online and leave the ingredients they use in the masks quite clearly on their websites. What I will say to you though if you have allergies to certain ingredients like banana or lavender (which is the first things that came to mind as there my allergies ha-ha) make sure you do indeed check this as some aren’t quite clear. Available face masks that they have focus on different skin types and different issues you may have with your skin too (i.e. sudden breakout). With me, I’m one of these unlucky people who have combination skin my t-zone gets incredibly oily when the rest of my skin gets very dry (especially if it hits certain hot and cold temperatures (I think it’s the pale skin)) and after asking in my local shop this mask was suggested to me. Additionally, my brother has used this too as he gets extremely hard acne breakouts on his forehead and they do help soften them slightly.

When you purchase the product whether it this or another product, it comes in a small 75g black pot and if you buy in shop will be placed in ice to help it keep it solidish (if that’s a word) state Just remember to put it back in the fridge when you get it/ are done with it. When you open the pot, you get the overwhelming scent of the chocolate and I don’t know if others have felt the same but I will admit I have wanted to eat some but haven’t (I’m not that bad lol) and lush also appear to have foreseen this issue many may have gone through and put this on the labelling (which I find funny),

When I opened the pot the look of the mask was very different to normal they may have mixed up the formula slightly I’m not sure but it went on ever so slightly more difficult than when it was the previous mixture (disclaimer: -like I said I don’t know if the mixture has been changed it could have been to do with the heat when I brought it). When I put it on my face it was difficult to rub on my face due to the consistency of the mask. After about 20 mins, when I had finally got it on my face it was again vary patchy in places and didn’t feel like it did when I had brought it before. It says on the pot to leave for 5-10 minutes then wash it off this in my using didn’t work as I waited I think 15 mins as my skin is bad and it still wasn’t drying. When I took it off, I made the mistake and forgot to wash it off over a sink and did it on the floor of my living room and it went everywhere LITERALLY everywhere. After using two towels I finally got it off and my skin looked and felt amazing and I had a “Pregnancy glow” per my mother (I’m not btw)

I think that even though the mask seemed more different than normal I have nothing but compliments for this product and would recommend anyone to buy this product that does have problematic skin. 5* from me

You can buy both online and in store at this link https://www.lush.com/ and finding your country and looking for facemask under the face category or

Review on Kylie Jenner Sinful Colors range

Image
I’m going to be doing a quick review on the Kylie Jenner Sinful Colors Nail Polishes. When I heard that Superdrug (which is a Drugstore I suppose in the UK I think I have brought up before) where doing these polishes there wasn’t even a word to describe my excitement being a huge fan of Kylie Jenner and her style these were number one on my shopping list and I constantly checked the page on Superdrug for the release dates like a loony. When the first set came out the “King Kylie”, I honestly think it sold out the minute it went up because I went in three or four times looked on every counter and shelf and it was nowhere (I got the top coat before polish go figure) but when I eventually got a couple of polishes I brought. All in all out of the 4 sets they brought out I have brought 5 different colours which were “Kween” (which to me is a fuchsia pink colour but according to the sinful Colors website is Ruby Red ) and “Kryptonite” ( which is a glittery green colour) which are both fr

Review on Diff Sunglasses

Hiya Guys, Why I try and get used to both a) doing daily posts again and b) What I will write about each day I have decided that for this post I would review my sunglasses from Diff eyewear (https://diffeyewear.com/) A few months back with my eye and head being its normal painful wanting to pull my hair out self (which I will probably bring up on anther post) I decided I needed some sunglasses so I searched for some decent sunnies as I was getting frankly annoyed with constantly buying cheap pairs and then either not helping or going walkabouts which in my house happens to pretty much everything. In my search, I found this website which is American based but ship worldwide (yayyy). When I found Diff eyewear I feel in love with their stock instantly. They have five different styles to choose from in a lot of different colours in the medium price range bracket. When I eventually brought some about 6 weeks later I must admit, I did end up getting four sets as I just couldn’t pick

Review on MUA Blusher

Image
I am going to show and review for you what must be one of if not my favourite sets of power blushers I think I have ever brought and used. This Set of 6 (yes 6) blushes are from MUA cosmetics and are uber cheap at £1 GBP per Item. One thing I adore about this product is unlike a lot of both high end and drug store products that I have seen is that MUA cosmetics have given these blushers sweet names, for the nudie coloured blushers they have named them Cupcake, Lolly and Bon Bon and the pink coloured blushers they have named Candyfloss, Marshmallow and Bubblegum. Cupcake is a beautiful matte pale peach shade which on my skin gives me an almost sun kissed glow. Lolly is a soft orange colour according to sites online but if you are paled skinned like myself it comes out as more of a medium to dark orange. Bon Bon is an Apricot colour again according to pages online but my pale skin makes it look quite dark, almost a rich pinkie colour with a hint of red. Candyfloss when looking at m
