Monday Mask: NEW Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask

Hello Lovelies

Today's face mask of choice is the all new Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask, a "Super-Hydrating Revitalising Mask" which claims to give you one week of hydrating serum in one mask! All sounds pretty appealing, I was stocking up on the Garnier Pure Active Micellar water when I came across this product and for the special offer price of £0.99 I could not resist! The mask is said to be the equivalent of one weeks use of the Garnier Moisture Bomb 3 in 1 Day Cream.

"It acts like a hydration wrap that continuously diffuses all the effectiveness of the serum intensely hydrating your skin" 

Whats in it? 

Pomergranate Extract
Hyaluronic Acid
Plant Serum

Application

For the application I got a cloth and ran it under hot water and patted it around my face to open up my pores, I then cleansed face with the Garnier Proactive Micellar Cleansing Water, using a cotton pad I splashed a few drops of it on and patted it around my face.

It's a 15 minute face mask however like all face masks I usually give them extra time, I normally like to watch an episode of something whilst I wait, this makes me feel like I get the most of the product.

The mask was a little fiddly to put on, its one size designed to fit all and I found it the wrong shape in some areas but it's easy to adjust so I would not left that out you off. There are holes for the eyes, nose and mouth and then two slits on each side to fix the mask in place from behind your ears.

It felt very gently once is it on, unlike most face masks it does not dry and tighten which some people will love, especially if you have sensitive skin.

It felt SUPER moisturizing and refreshing whilst on my face and after I'd taken it off. There was a little tingly sensation but this made it felt like it was actually doing something, which I love, I like when you can actually feel a product working.

Result

After use I feel like my skin is in much better condition, it has definitely helped to even out my skin and give my skin moisture, It's a face mask I would definitely buy again, its a very easy and quick application  and I am now interested in trying the day cream to compare.

Face Mask Friday: Superdrug Witch Hazel Mud Mask

I've recently become a little bit obsessed with face masks, I love incorporating them into my skincare routine, a luxury pamper or to tackle skin problems. There is something nice about sitting down after a long day with a face mask on and catching up on your favorite program (Pretty Little Liars for me at the moment!)

Today I am going to talk about the Superdrug Witch Hazel Mud Mask. I purchase this product a few months ago and thought I'd finished it but alittle goes along way with some face masks and I've managed to squeeze an extra mask out!

 
Now I have to apologize for the dreadful selfie, it's impossible
for me to take a good picture wearing a facemask!

Double apology because I have just looked on the Superdrug website and could not seem to find
this face mask from the Refreshing Face Mask Range,  they do still sale Cucumber Peal Off Mask and Vitamin E Moisture Mask from the same range.

Now on to face mask!

Before applying any face mask or treatment I always cleanse and pat my face with a hot cloth to clean and open up my pores as to get the most of out the product.

In my opinion a good face mask is one that completely dries out, this makes it feel that is it actually doing something.

I suffer from problem skin from time to time and so I am consistently looking for something to treat and help prevent blemishes. This product has witch hazel which does wonders for the skin, mainly helps to fight spots and blemishes, it helps to reduce inflammation and soothe skin.

I do like this mask, it takes a few applications to see results but after one use I definitely feel a difference in my skin, it feels refreshed and smoother.

I have read reviews that claim this product irritates and causes redness on sensitive skin, so I wouldn't recommend this if you have sensitive skin, or perhaps only use it for half the time.

Thank you for reading!

Boots Skincare Haul!

So today I went into Boots with not intention other than to have a little browse, about an hour later I ended up purchasing some skincare products! 



What I got

Good Things Five Minute Facial Mask Anti-Blemish with Avocado and Gogi Berry £3.99 down from £5.99

Blistex Lip Brilliance Blushing SPF15 £1.29 down from £2.59

Boots Essentials Cucumber 3 Minute Clay Mask £1.50
Boots Essentials Cucumber Moisturising Cream £1.50

Link:  http://www.boots.com



The Boots Essentials Range is my favorite little discovery, it's so affordable and is also a good product!

I have been using the 3 Minute Clay Mask recently and I have been loving it! It contains calming cucumber and vitamins to help cleanse and clear out impurities and excess oils from our pores, working to leave skin clean and toned. When using this mask I have been leaving it on for around 6 minutes until I feel it drying and tightening, so I that get the most out of it, after which I wash it off with a hot cloth. It really works to smooth and even out my skin, I definitely feel refreshed after using it, if you are unsure I would say it's definitely worth a try for the price!

I have used the facial scrub and found it really easy to apply and use, I used an exfoliator glove from Primark along side it. I like to use this before I put on any makeup as it works to clean, soften and clear away any dry patches on my skin, so that when it comes to apply makeup I am working with a clean base.

I can't fault this range, it has worked wonders for me and for the price these are products I would definitely repurchase. I have not used the Cucumber Moisturising Cream yet, so we will see what that is like, but I did have a smell and if you like cucumber you will like it, all of the Boots Essential products feel very pure and natural which is good for your skin.

The Good Things Five Minute Face Mask is something I have been wanting to try for a while and I thought I might as well seen as it was on offer. The face mask claims to "Make skin clearer, brighter and smoother, all at the same time. There's green clay and Kaolin to draw out impurities, avocado oil to moisturise, goji berry to extract to soothe and willow bark extract for radiance" To be honest I was sold on goji berry and avocado as they are two products which I had not seen together before and felt they sounded interesting. 




The Blistex Lip Brilliance Blushing SPF15 was a little last minute spare of the moment buy. I have always been a fan of the Blistex range as they have worked well in the past when I have suffered from dry lips. This is a great little product to throw in your everyday bag. It feels moisturising and gives a lovely pink tint. 

So thats about it for whatI got from Boots

Thank you so much for reading!

Tested Review : Simple Spotless Anti Blemish Moisturiser

Today I will be reviewing the Anti Blemish Moisturiser from Simple's Spotless Skin range.


I have always liked Simple products for their gentle and pure formula, they are clear from harsh chemicals and artificial perfumes, making them great for most skin types, specifically sensitive skin.

I have used the Simple Rich Moisturiser for years and I love it, however I have been suffering from blemishes recently and I wanted a good swap in moisturisers to keep combat my outbreaks.

This product incorporates Zinc to absorb excess oils, Corn Starch to mattify shine throughout the day, Aloe Vera which softens the skin and Chamomile to work as an anti irritant. It also contains  natural antibacterial agent Phytosphingosine which helps to fight spots and blemishes.

All in all sounds pretty good, especially for the bargain price of £2.29 at Superdrug down from £4.59! SO It claims to show results from day 1, which I did not experience but it definitely moisturises and helps mattifiy my skin well, now I have been using this for about a month now , I've actually just repurchased a new tube! after about a months use I can say I've noticed a considerable improvement to my skin, I still suffer from blemishes but I find this product definitely helps to reduce size and appearance and also to clear them. 

I do find with this product being matte the consistency of the formula isn't ideal as a base for makeup so I would tend to use a more moisturised base if I knew I was wearing makeup for the day.


All this being said I do use this in combination with skin cleanses, scrubs and other moisturisers, I also try to live a healthy lifestyle to help treat my blemishes, by drinking enough water, regular exercise and healthy diet.   

Thanks for reading.
