<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Ever since I saw the video of George Floyd being murdered by a police officer in <span style="font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Minneapolis</span>,
</span>like so many of you, I have been filled with anger, upset and fury. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">I have been
glued to twitter and the CNN news channel, following the story and the protests
and I felt a huge feeling of helplessness for a while - I thought about what can I, as a British Indian Female, do to support the movement and fight for change?
And whilst I acknowledge one blog post and a couple of tweets may not be able
to change the racial stereotypes or institutional racism that so clearly exists
across the world - We all have the shared power of our voices, which is why
right now I believe we should all be using this power to stand behind the Black
Lives Matter movement and spreading its awareness into all communities.</span></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Interestingly, I had a conversation with a friend of mine
who stated she was confused by the Black Lives Matter movement. Not because she
disagrees with it, but because she wanted to know more. Her questions were
around what it meant? Does black lives matter mean that her life didn’t matter
because she isn’t black? She expressed how she has also faced racism, so what
about her struggles? Why isn’t there all of this when a brown person is treated
unfairly? Does black lives matter mean black lives matter more than anyone
else’s? Surely everyone’s life matters?</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Black lives matter can be easily understood by understanding
yes, all lives matter. Of course they do and this movement has never and is in no way saying they don't, but right now we have to scream <b>black
lives matter</b> because repeated actions have shown that the lives of black people
aren’t mattering ENOUGH to some people, especially to those in power. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">With the
high disproportionate number of black people being killed, black lives are being
disregarding as less valuable over again and again - and it's time to put this to an end. <b>Black lives matter,</b> not more
than yours, not instead of mine but we have to shout Black Lives Matter to
remind people that they matter <b>TOO</b> and just as much as everyone else’s. We
cannot stand quiet in the face of injustice, just because we also face
injustices. Injustice for one of us is injustice towards ALL of us and this movement should unite us all.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Many people may not want to acknowledge “White Privilege” or
any kind of race-based privileges or may simply believe they don’t exist; and I get
it, it’s easy for people to not take account of or notice the small privileges
they face within their everyday lives, especially when we all face different forms
of inequality on a daily basis. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Sometimes within the midst of our struggles
it’s difficult to notice we actually are treated more favourably than others in
some situations. For example, coming from an Indian background I surely would
have faced more favourable stereotypes within the education system than my
black counterparts? I would also consider whether these positive stereotypes of the "Indian Student" had a knock on effect on my success within the education system. This doesn’t make the stereotypes or my privileges my fault, it doesn’t mean I am to blame for them but I for sure should recognise this and acknowledge my privilege in certain
situations and in doing this I should be fighting for the people who are disadvantaged. The struggles of People of Colour and Black People are not the same. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">The key to understanding your own privileges is speaking to
people about their experiences within the same situations and I guarantee you
you’ll be surprised by what you hear. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Never in my life have I been worried
about being arrested unfairly, unlike some of my black friends.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"> N<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">ever in my life have I ever
been worried if the colour of my skin would stop me getting a job, compared to
my black friends. </span></span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span>Never in
my life have I ever been worried about being viewed as a threat, unlike some of my black friends and never in my life did I even realise people faced discrimination in areas that I just take for granted .... until I opened up the conversation. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Start the conversation about understanding and changing
these stereotypes and fighting for equally positive experiences for everybody.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Equal experiences across all races will never
make your experiences any less positive.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Nobody should ever be treated differently or unfairly based
on the colour of their skin. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">A further thought was in regard to how easily racial
stereotypes have been embedded into social constructs and why in the Asian
Community there are so many underlying generational, racial stereotypes towards
Black people that have been passed down through the community. Whether that’s through
the uproar caused by black dating preferences within our generation or simply being told to fear or be careful around Black people as
they are supposedly more “threatening” or “aggressive” – they all continue the
cycle of passing on these ideas through from grandparents to grandchildren and
assist and aid the racial injustices faced by many Black people across the
world. Without actively challenging and stopping the transmission of these stereotypes, we are contributing
to the problem. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><font face="Verdana">We cannot be ignorant to the part we may play in the oppression of others, we cannot give people a pass for making racially charged insults - we cannot stay silent and we have to stand behind the Black Lives Matter movement, not just at this moment of protests but within our daily lives.</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">We all have a part to play in recognising and eradicating any
forms of injustice. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"> Please
don’t be silent, please use your voice, please use your platform and spread the
message that BLACK LIVES MATTER. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">With all this being said I a<span style="color: black;">lso acknowledge that my take on the Black Lives Matter
doesn’t even scratch the surface of some of the real lived experiences of black
people across the world and the real key to understanding this movement, what
it stands for and why we should all support it comes from speaking to your
black friends, peers and colleagues about what this truly means to them. </span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana",sans-serif;">Start the conversation – as people of the world let’s unite
to never allow this to happen again. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Logging into my blogger account in what seems like years seems (ok, it literally was years ago..) feels super surreal but laying in bed last night entering my third week of self isolation, I was making a list of all the things I want to achieve whilst in lockdown. I have been super determined to make the most of this time and the number one goal for me was to revive my blog and get back into a hobby that used to make me feel so happy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was thinking about all of the things I wanted to write about, all the topics I wanted to discuss, I was wondering who my target audience would even be this time round, wondering what direction I wanted to take this and even if it's something I'm actually going to end up maintaining. But instead of filling my mind with enough questions to talk myself out of it, I set myself a goal to just get on with it and s<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">o here I am, sitting on my bed, legs crossed with my laptop in front of me just typing away like I used to do back in the day.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

I used to take the worst quality images, do DIY back grounds with wrapping paper and have no idea about how to insert a damn hyperlink lol. As the years went by, whilst my photography and lighting improved (slightly), the content started to slow down and I was no longer in love with my favourite past time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thinking back, I think the main reason I stopped blogging was because I felt like writing about the latest mascara from Maybelline or how to get a flawless base was no longer exciting and in the beauty blogging world, where you're competing with Celebrity Influencers and Millionaire Bloggers, I just felt my content was not as engaging and people no longer wanted to just read about products they wanted to go on YouTube and SEE them in action (& where I can't even post a Tik Tok video now, me making a YouTube channel back then was impossible lol.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I guess at that point I became a bit defeated and as I grew older beauty was no longer a passion of mine. Yeah I'm still very much a make up hoarder and am suckered into buying new primers and foundations once a month, but I realised the content that I truly loved communicating were my more topical pieces about things that <i>REALLY </i>matter like my blog about the documentary <a href="http://www.aartificial.com/2015/03/indias-daughter.html" target="_blank">India's Daughter </a>and about that controversial "<a href="http://www.aartificial.com/2015/05/Protein-World-Ad.html" target="_blank">Protein World Advert</a>" < Both linked so give them a read. <i>plug plug plug.</i> But I think growing up I was always quite anxious to share my real life attitudes towards certain topics so I shied away from it and just posted about some random face masks my brother got me from Korea <i>(lol - they're proper good you know) </i>and slowly just stopped forcing content out and neglected the whole website. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Why I'm blogging again?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One thing I realised about myself is that I am a huge hypocrite you know. So I am that friend who will tell their friends they can do anything they want to in life, push people to take that career change or pick up a new hobby and past time but then for myself I would constantly say I was "too busy" to focus on the things I actually wanted to do with my down time. I would constantly make excuses as to why I've not yet completed that HR course I've been banging on about for timee or not gone to the gym in like 50 years lol but being in isolation, one thing I've realised is right now, for one of the first times ever in life, we all have the luxury of time. Time - that one thing I would blame for stopping me doing everything I wanted to do, the thing I would complain I didn't have enough of and wished I could have more of yet the same thing I would spend watching every episode of every trash reality show and getting myself to level 5082 on Candy Crush (Dude, I've clearly got time!). Right now, time cannot be a deciding factor for me NOT doing something I've wanted to do for a long while so when better to get my shit together than now, when the whole damn world is falling apart!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm entering back into this blogging world because I genuinely feel like I've got something to say again. I think that 21 year old girl who was thinking about her audience before she ever posted anything, thinking about who may potentially read her posts to judge, the same girl who didn't want to say anything too risky in fear of offending someone has pretty much disappeared and I actually want to explore some of my random thoughts in more detail - and if my content helps someone else in the world it's a super bonus!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well basically apart from the fact I still dress in all black all year round, what's different? Pretty much everything! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay here's literally a quick run through of what's changed in my life since my last update (brace yourself): I'm now five years older, going to turn 28 on Friday (yes shittest birthday ever! lol thanks COVID), I'm single now - my 9 year deep relationship ended last year so out here trying figure out how this whole single life works again and girrrrrl, that's a whole other topic LOL, I've progressed in my career quite rapidly and am now a HR Manager heading a Human Resources function all on my jack jones - basically blagging my way through life, still living at home with the legend that is Sangeet (my mama) but both my brothers are married, settled and moved out, I got my ass out of Ealing and actually commute into London every damn day for work (shocking - I know), but other than that I'm still a dickhead and say dickhead things on a daily basis and have decided to take my dickhead thoughts and put them into long words and post them for the world to see :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I may chuck in a few, "oh look at this new highlighter isn't it to sparkly" kind of posts but really want I want to start focusing on are ideas, concepts and topics that really matter. I want to collaborate with different people and bring ideas and thoughts together in a cute well written package, I want to explore ideals and passions, I want to think about why I am how I am and probably unravel some topics that I don't fully understand myself but I just want to start conversations and hopefully bring people together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Asian Skincare has become a phenomenon in recent years within the Beauty community so when my brother was on his recent travels and asked me what I wanted from Korea the first thing I yelled was "SKINCARE". I had no specific product in mind, no specific brand I just wanted to dip my toes into their top products and see what all of the fuss was about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What he came back with was a few different boxes of sheet masks from the Korean brand "Mediheal", and I have been sold by the magic within these cutely designed packets!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mediheal is a brand created by skincare experts and dermatologists with two main ethos' in mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Look - To always look into their customers' needs to look beautiful inside and out &</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preen - To create products that make their customers feel good about themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Created within Seoul University renowned for their development and advancement within the medical beauty field, the products all have a scientific element to them and well as super quirky packaging (as if you could expect anything less from Korean beauty).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now for a break down of the products from MEDIHEAL's "Line Friends" range.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Step 1 – After cleansing, even out your skin by using a toner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Step 2 – Remove mask from outer packaging. This part was slightly difficult as the mask itself is quite thin so it's hard to unfold. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Step 3 - Remove the mask and let the skin absorb the remaining essence by gently patting the skin.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall the masks themselves are a perfect addition to my pampering routine and with such a wide range of products there is one for pretty much any skin type. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They are fun and easy to use and something a little bit quirky with each mask coming in a colourful packet and with a little cartoon character on each mask. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The mask sizes are perfect and in proportation with my face so I don't have that awkward overlapping of the sheet into my eyelids. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The results between the masks vary as some provide instant results such as the yellow E.G.T mask tightened my face after one use and the T.G.F mask helped calm any redness straight away. However, the N.M.F Mask showed no instant moisturing (nothing more than a usual moisturiser would provide). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would highly recommend testing them out as you can now get your hands on them from sites such as amazon and lazyegg.com.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lU_zDRinMXEyM0vKI5dY0nD9J4z_0YETvac5fAiX0J58KBGijWHUahj654klnB1Vmftz8FdKjx4uZrhwF_0eUiOMBm0PSSSRMBxtSIiWIlFK0YOg1e4eHPUwrdIQ4IPYlgTa6rZoIJfZ/s1600/What+time+is+it_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lU_zDRinMXEyM0vKI5dY0nD9J4z_0YETvac5fAiX0J58KBGijWHUahj654klnB1Vmftz8FdKjx4uZrhwF_0eUiOMBm0PSSSRMBxtSIiWIlFK0YOg1e4eHPUwrdIQ4IPYlgTa6rZoIJfZ/s1600/What+time+is+it_.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After my previous hair care post, I thought I'd delve into some more of the products I've been using to try and make me fall in love with styling my hair again. After a rummage I realised I somehow have a whole bundle of L'Oreal haircare products that have been my ride or dies for years now so wanted to give them a quick mention on the blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cutting straight to the chase.. L'Oreal Elvive Shampoos & Conditioners are EVERYTHING. I've tried nearly every brand under the sun from Aussie to Pantene, from Tresemme to Herbal Essences - you name it, I've most probably tried it. But once I popped the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Hair-Care-Damaged/L%27Oreal-Elvive-Shampoo-Full-Restore-5-400ml/p/605743" target="_blank">L'Oreal Elvive Full Restore Shampoo & Conditioner</a> in my basket, years ago, I haven't really looked back and L'Oreal has been my go to brand for all things hair care. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you may already know the L'Oreal Elvive Shampoo &a Conditioner range is EXTENSIVE. I think there must be at least 5/6 different branches of the line, all promising different results and finishes and honestly I am yet to be totally disappointed. My favourite from the line has to be the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Paris/L%27Oreal-Elvive-Fibrology-Shampoo-400ML/p/886857" target="_blank">Fibrology Thickening Shampoo</a> & <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Paris/L%27Oreal-Elvive-Fibrology-Conditioner-400ML/p/886758" target="_blank">Conditioner</a> as I saw a significant difference to how my hair felt and looked. Being such a lover of the line I even got my hands on <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Paris/L%27Oreal-Elvive-Fibrology-Mask-Pot-300M/p/886759" target="_blank">L'Oreal's Fibrology Thickening Masque</a> which again worked wonders and has been a constant repurchased product of mine. The shampoo and conditioner gave me noticeably more volume and thickness and left my hair smelling and feeling super clean! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Out of all the Shampoo & Conditioners on offer by L'Oreal I think my least favourite has to be their new <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/New-In/Elvive-Extraordinary-Clay-Re-Balancing-Shampoo-250ml/p/613702?gclid=Cj0KEQiAsP-2BRCFl4Lb2NTJttEBEiQAmj2tbQr6Un59TgkoTCFwly403heOafaR-kIVaQcDTCF_Ci8aApyu8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">"Extraordinary Clay"</a> line. I picked this up with so many high hopes for their new launch but for some reason I was less than "wowed". Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely shampoo and conditioner but it was nothing that impressed me enough to repurchase it. So back to the Fibrology or <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Paris-Elvive/L%E2%80%99Oreal-Elvive-Extraordinary-Oil-Shampoo-Very-Dry-Hair-400ml/p/252100" target="_blank">Extraordinary Oil Shampoo & Conditioner</a> combo I go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Speaking of Extraordinary Oil - Another L'Oreal product that's become a life saver over recent months is the <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Hair-Care-Coloured/L%27Oreal-Elvive-Extraordinary-Oil-UV-Filter-100ml/p/461150" target="_blank">Extraordinary Oil</a> for all hair types. I apply a pea side amount to this to the ends of my hair before blow drying and not only does it add a sleek shine it somehow also helps my hair dry quicker? (They don't even claim it does this but for some reason it does for me). It's super affordable and lasts absolutely ages, after around 6 months of using the product I am yet to even reach the half way mark and the glass bottle makes it feel a little more luxurious!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next step I take before blow drying my hair with my GHD Air Hair Dryer is to add some sort of heat resistance spray. <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Styling-Elnett/L%27Oreal-Elnett-Heat-Protect-Styling-Spray-Volume-170ml/p/537752" target="_blank">L'Oreal's Heat Protect Styling Spray </a>has been one of the favourite hair protecting sprays I've tried to date. I know this sounds a little lame but.. the slightly fanned spray nozzle is perfect as distributing the products all over my hair and after two squeezes I'm good to go. I only apply this to the ends of my hair as I've found it can lead to a little greasiness when too much product builds up on my scalp. Don't be too fussy when it comes to choosing the straight or volume version of the spray as I am yet to see any difference between the two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everyone and their mum knows how amazing the<a href="http://www.superdrug.com/L%27Oreal-Styling-Elnett/L%27Oreal-Elnett-Hairspray-Lumiere-75ml/p/445251" target="_blank"> L'Oreal Elnett Hair Spray</a> is so speaking about this in too much detail won't be really necessary. But I will say, this will always be my go-to day to day hair spray to lock in my tease and add a little bit of volume. I love how easily the product brushes out and I don't get the firm, hard hair that other hairsprays leave me with. Perfect for everyday :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So now I can chill out with L'Oreal and stop making this sound like a sponsored post (I swear it's not) I've just come to realise how great L'Oreal's haircare line really is and wanted to share some of my favourite bits with my readers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Contouring has changed from being what once was a scary
application, restricted by use for professional make up artists, to now
becoming a staple in the majority of make up lovers’ day to day make up
routine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With contour sticks, wands, creams and powders – it has
become more accessible to find the product that works best for you. As a make
up junkie, I have honestly tried nearly every contouring method out there, but I
have found my HOLY GRAIL method and product that I feel beats the rest!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">…And it’s using the Maybelline Dream Cushion Foundation in
Shade 60 (Caramel) which is the darkest shade in the collection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got my hands on this product on a whim as Maybelline had
their usual 3 for 2 or 3 for £15 offer at Superdrug and after purchasing my favourite
concealer and mascara from the brand, I was drawn to this product and thought
why not use it for a contour?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Method:</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using a small make up sponge which I cut into a triangle
shape, I dab some of the product on to my sponge from the cushion and press it
into the areas that are in need of some refining and shaping. Typically, this
are just under my cheek bones, long my forehand and under my jaw line. (I don’t
usually contour my nose, however even if I did I feel this may not work as well
on that area.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a few seconds of pressing the product into my skin,
the foundation blends effortlessly with my foundation and gives me an even,
subtle finish. The foundation is super blendable so going in with another layer
is really easy. The product is lightweight and so easy to work with – which is
why it’s perfect for everyday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For days when I want to go in for a deeper, stronger contour
I top this off with a light application of the NYX Contour Palette to really add
some depth and it helps set everything in place!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I honestly couldn’t recommend this product more and I love
the confusion on everyone’s face when they ask me how I manage to contour every
single day!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To start this post I have to put it out there - me and feet? We don't get along. I can't look at anyone else's feet, I can't have anyone else's foot touch me and people can't even come into my room without socks on but despite this the recent constant change in weather has meant I have had to boost my foot care routine and have become slightly obsessed with foot masks recently.<br />
<br />
Two of my favourite foot masks have got to be the Argan Oil and the Coconut Water foot packs!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I picked these up from my local Savers for only £1 each and they have worked amazingly. Within each packed you receive a pair of socks enriched with different moisturising and nourishing ingredients. You simply wash your feet, whack them on for around 20 minutes and once removed your feet are left feeling soft and smooth.<br />
<br />
The Argan Oil foot pack contains both Argan oil (Duh..) and Shea butter and the method of use makes these ingredients penetrate deep into your skin and break down any sort of dry skin. Due to the menthol contained in the pack after a few minutes you can feel a cooling, tingling sensation which I personally love because it always makes me feel like the product is actually doing something.<br />
<br />
The Coconut Water foot pack works in the exact same way and with this one I see even more of an instant change in the texture of my feet. After using the pack, you are left with a lingering coconut scent which I personally love and the deep moisurised feeling lasts for a good week or so.<br />
<br />
Both packs are easy to use as they only require you to put on a pair of socks, both socks are coated with a plastic outing which means you can actually walk with them on if you need to (It does feel slightly funny as you can feel the wet product inside as you walk), and both are extremely cheap!<br />
<br />
For a pound each they are definitely worth the money - and I'm sure there are so many deals for multi-buys on Ebay and Amazon!<br />
<br />
Highly recommend - Especially for you guys who don't really like feet because you have to have minimal contact with feet to use these! LOL..<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the winner for the best micellar water is...FILORGA!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As many of my previous blog posts have mentioned, I really do enjoy the process of applying make up but taking it off has got to be one of the biggest daily chores for me!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've tried everything from cleansing balms, make up removing gels and milks to make up remover cloths and wipes. One product I repeatedly go back to are Micellar waters - simply for their non-messy, easy usage and the relatively cheap price tag so when I got my hands on the <span style="background-color: white;"><b><a href="http://www.allbeauty.com/gb/en/1183543-filorga-medi-cosmetique-anti-ageing-micellar-solution-400ml?abref=GoogleShoppingCs&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&ref=%7Badtype%7D&&currency=GBP&country=48&gclid=CjwKCAjwzoDXBRBbEiwAGZRIeMm1CZwijD6_NVfH-c6KHk3yeO8_qXruUw_vuRWLOU6uhlYiKd6O7BoClHIQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">Filorga Anti-Ageing Micellar solution</a></b></span> I was excited to see how this product held up against my other favourites and it did not disappoint. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>PROS:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Easy to Use</b></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Literally, put some on a cotton pad and wipe. Could it get any easier?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Effective</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Depending on how much make up I've applied that day I use need either one or two cotton pads and every inch of my make up is removed. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Non-Oily</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love that fact that I can use this product while I'm chilling in front of the TV as you don't even need to rinse your face after using it as it doesn't leave any residue and is not oily at all.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Anti-Aging</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who doesn't want to look young forever? The <span style="background-color: white;">Rhamnose and Trehalose infused in the product has anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating qualities known to keep skin looking youthful and fresh!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><i>Price Point</i></b></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">In terms of how expensive everything within the skincare industry has become, it's refreshing that this product has a very reasonable price point. Averaging at around £15 for 400ml you cannot go wrong!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, I am so happy this product comes in such a huge bottle because I know it's going to become a product I reach for on a daily basis. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">100% a wonder product. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are your favourite make up removers? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been a while since I've done a post about the bane of my life - that is my hair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have such a love/hate relationship going on with these locks of mine. Ask me to spend around 3 hours piling on products on my face, perfecting my winged liner and contouring the crap out of my jawline and I'm down for it.. But ask me to spend around 10-15 minutes trying to get my hair to look reasonably put together and you'll get my classic eye roll.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Due to the fact I have long, thick hair and no motivation to spend hours faffing around with it, I'm always on the look out for some new products to inject a little bit of life into my hair with minimum effort and I have to admit Schwarzkopf's Got2B line has been ticking all the boxes for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me jump straight into the products that have been keeping both me and my hair happy over recent months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This handy product is perfect for them days when I've just given my hair a quick straighten in the morning and am looking to add a little oomph without the need of excessive back combing. I've written about this product in my previous "Let's Talk Hair" post so won't go into too much detail but this powder is so easy to work with and gives my roots the right amount of lift!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I picked this up the other day during my weekly supermarket run as I thought it would be another product that could help me add a bit more body to my hair. I'm currently in the process of growing out my layers to get them at an even length which means my hair is seriously flat - The lack of layers make my hair lay flat onto my head which is a look I want to leave back in my hair school years. A quick spray of this throughout my hair instantly adds a little bit of body and shape! The only downside with this product is that is it slightly sticky when first applying. It takes a few comb through's with your fingers to get the texture you really want but all in all a great product.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My natural hair is no fun at all.. Its not lusciously curly or amazingly straight - it's that annoying in-between kind of hair so this Salt Spray is great to add a little more definition to my waves and make them look a little bit more put together. This spray is so easy to use and I seem to be reaching for it more and more (I think it's because I've become lazier) - It's definitely a simple, fuss free hair styling product so you know I'm all about it.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Listen when this says it's a FREEZE Spray it's 100% a freeze spray. I've tried so many different hairsprays throughout my time and this hair spray has got to be the one with the best hold! After one spritz of this on slightly teased roots I know I'm going to have volume all day long. The smell of this hair spray is incredible and had a slightly fruity whiff (nothing too overpowering) but I just cannot get over the hold this gives me. It is one of them hairsprays that make your hair hard and stiff which would be the downside but I'm willing to settle for that if my hair stays in place all day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All in all I had no idea that so many Schwarzkopf products from their Got2b line found their way to my daily routines until I actually sat down and realised what I was using on a day to day basis. I know there are many other products in this line from hair gels and hair clays but let's leave that for the boys and enjoy their volume adding, body creating hair products that have become essentials for me. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Applying make up? That’s the fun part but removing my make
up has got to be the chore I hate at the end of the day. So when I received the
AfterSpa Magic Make Up Remover Cloth in my Birchbox the other month I was excited
to try out this product that promised to take the pain away (as well as my make
up!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As instructed, I put the cloth in the washing machine before
using it and once it was washed and dried I simply wet my face and use the cloth
to remove my full face of make-up. Unlike most cloths you have to actually wet
your face first then use to cloth to wipe, whereas previously I have always wet
the cloth then proceeded with a cleanser to remove my make-up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to admit I was neither under whelmed or over whelmed
with the results. It did remove my make-up but I don’t know whether I wear just
a bit too much or not, but it didn’t remove ALL of my make-up. The first layer
of my foundation as well as my eye liner was removed easily, however my 3
layers of mascara did struggle to come off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found the cloth was waaay to small to be fit for purpose
however, this could have been due to the fact that it was a sample in my birchbox
but the size made it very difficult to work with and as the cloth got wetter it
reduced in size even more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am yet to challenge the claim as to whether it really does
work for over 1000 uses but so far on the odd 10-15 times I’ve used it I found
the product pretty average. The price point is relatively cheap, so as a cloth
to take away with you on holiday – it would work great as it means you don’t
need to pack cleansers, make up removers etc. but for a day to day I am happy
to keep using my beloved <a href="http://www.aartificial.com/2018/02/cetaphil-cleanser-skincare-review.html" target="_blank">Cetaphil cleanser </a>and Primark muslin cloth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The day I purchased this product, I could hear my skin shout<i>
“hallelujah”</i> and it’s been thanking me ever since!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cetaphil is “<i>Specially formulated to provide effective,
gentle skincare to help your skin look and feel its best, Cetaphil is a
clinically proven therapeutic skincare range for dry, sensitive or compromised
skin. Fragrance free and non-comedogenic</i> (doesn't block your pores).”</span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Due to my combination skin I never really know what cleanser
is best for me to use all year round and it’s a bit of a faff having to buy
different cleansers to use when my skin has a mind of its own. I used to love
using facial scrubs on my skin, I loved the feeling to getting rid of all the
dead skin and it left me feeling so fresh.. UNTIL my skin suddenly got very dry
and I knew I had to end this love affair with harsh exfoliators</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and scrubs.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So after hearing about this product on YouTube I thought I’d
give it a go, for £8.99 it wasn't the cheapest cleanser on the market
but I was hoping the investment would help sort my skin out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I use this product whilst I'm in the bath <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>I'm a bath girl
rather than showers</i></span>, I apply it quite liberally all over my face and down my
neck and using my Primark Cleansing Pad <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I’ll do a review soon)</span></i> I rub this into
my skin. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Bear with me I am aiming to invest in a Clarisonic Mia 2 soon- but
this will do for now). </span>I then use a facial cloth to rinse out the product from
my face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Loves </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "open sans" , "tahoma" , "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-weight: 300; line-height: 38px; white-space: nowrap;">♥ </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">:</span></span></u></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gentle</span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the gentlest cleanser I have ever used. It feels
almost cream like in texture and doesn't drag across my face. Even when I use it to remove my eye make up I am yet to feel any stinging sensation or irritation which is all good with me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">No fragrance</span></u></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Which I LOVE. I'm really fussy when it comes
to scented skincare products because who needs and asks for them extra
chemicals? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">Recommended for acne prone skin</span></u></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wouldn't say this
directly applies to me but I would say for those like me who previously opted
for harsh scrubs to get that fresh clean feeling, give this a go instead!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Little bit goes a long way</u><span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You really don’t need a lot of
this product for it to do the job which is why it’s great as an everyday
cleanser.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No foam, No flakes</u><span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is a well-known fact that foaming
facial washes or cleansers dry out your skin. So you’ll be happy to know this
product does not foam which reduces the likelihood of dried out skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u>However:</u></span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u>Does not remove all make up </u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although the bottle does state
it will remove “light make-up” I would have loved it to remove a bit more of my
eye make-up. Sometimes I feel like when I've applied this product with my make-up
still on my make-up is simply spread across my face so my facial cloth has to
do all the hard work.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Overall, this has now
become my Holy Grail facial cleanser! I can tell this will be repurchased time
and time again until I find a different product to have a go at!</i></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the colder weather looking like it's going anywhere anytime soon and the impact this is having on my skin - I thought it was about time that I added a little something to refresh my general skin care routine and the Superdrug Vitamin E Spray on Moisturiser has filled the void perfectly!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This nifty 360 Spray on All Over Body Lotion is super light weight and absorbs within seconds and not only makes my skin feed nourished and less dry - my skin also feels smoother and softer straight away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So...Yes I know body butters are amazing and yes they smell delicious but no part of me enjoys the process of applying a thick body butter and sitting there waving about until it dries.So I am so relieved to have found a moisturiser that not only is effective in leaving my skin feeling soft but the fact that this moisturisor dries SUPER quickly makes it tick all the boxes for me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyone who knows me would know I am a sucker for a new beauty gimick so a moistouriser that you can SPRAY on had me super intrigued and whilst it is pretty cool, you still need to use your hands to rub the cream into your skin. The benefit of the spray on is the fact you can say goodbye to tub body lotions getting stuck in your nails and speeds up the whole process!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I highly recommend the whole Superdrug Vitamin E range as they really do have some affordable skin care products which have taken the place of my higher end products. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're looking for a mascara that gives you a natural finish, without making your lashes looking heavy or clumpy then you'll fall in love with Lash Perfect's Ultimate Black Mascara. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bristles on the wand are perfectly positioned to capture and separate each lash and the consistency reminds me of so many of my favourite drug store brands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With Lash Perfect's amazing reputation within the Eyelash Extensions world, I believe the intended purpose for this mascara is to be used over semi-permanent lashes which although I haven't been able to test (just yet) but I believe would work amazingly, if the impact it had on top of my strip lashes is anything to go on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, Lash Perfect's - Ultimate Black Mascara is a must have staple for anyone who wants to enhance the look of their semi-permanent or strip lashes!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Removing my stubborn mascara has to be one of my pet hates! After scrubbing and scrubbing and ending up looking like a panda with sore eyes, I am so relieved to have found a product that can take the pain away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lash Perfect's Eye Make Up Remover along with the Cleansing Cloth is a god send and makes the process effortless. The use, you simply apply some of the make up remover on to your lashes using your finger tips and use the damp cleansing cloth to remove any make up. Tried and tested with liquid and gel eye liner as well as some of my thickest waterproof mascaras and this cleanser really does do the job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The gentle formula specifically designed to protect eyelash extensions, is non oily and gentle enough to ensure you don't lose any lashes and overall I am so impressed at how this effective this simple solution is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Highly, highly recommend - specially when you're travelling and can't take tons of different lotions and potions with you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This multi-use pencil is an amazing addition to my make up collection. After filling in and shaping my brows one stroke of this under the brow bone has added such a pop to my daily make up look. Whether my brows are freshly threaded or in need of a shape up - this pencil not only highlights my brows but works to distguse any stray hairs in between brow appointments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also have been using this pencil to highlight the bridge of my nose when I'm going for the full on contoured look and the soft, creamy formulation is a dream to use on different areas of my face.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you all know I'm a face mask junkie and treat myself to a pamper at least 2 or 3 times a week. I'm used to switching my masks up throughout the week and jump at the chance to try out a newbie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the promises of renewing my skin, banishing dead skin cells and rejuvenate damaged skin - I was excited to put this mud mask to the test to see whether it could add some life to my skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Presented in a tube, the mask has quite a thin consistency and glides on to the skin very easily. It wasn't difficult at all to get an even application with the use of an old foundation brush. The mask took slightly longer to dry in comparison to other clay masks I've tried before which I believe is due to the fact it is more liquid based. After around 40 minutes of wearing the mask, my skin felt tight and tingled slightly -which I never mind because it shows me the product is actually doing something!</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once removing the mask, my face was slightly red which at first got me a little worried. however, after around 5-10 minutes the redness was significantly reduced and my skin had never felt softer!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found a huge difference in the appearance of my pores after one week of using this mask. The mask kept to it's promises of drawing out any dirt or impurities and my skin texture was visibly smoother. The next day I felt both my primer and foundation applied a lot easier and I couldn't wait to try the product again. After around a month of using this mask my blackheads are practically all gone and my pores have never seemed so reduced!</span><br />

All in all it's a basic tube which works fine for me, however the lid is a little bit fiddly to get back on again. As I'm sure I have many many more used out of the product I didn't want any to dry up but as the lid never firmly closed again I was left with some of the mask drying up near the nib of the packaging.</span></span></span></div>

Yes, just like you the word "peel" on a product makes me excited and worried at the same time - thinking about peeling off all my impurities but also the risk of my skin reacting badly. </span></span></span></span></div>

Following the instructions I applied an even layer to dry, cleansed skin and let it sit for around 2 minutes. The product firms slightly on my skin after the minute and then I rub in the rest of the product into my skin and neck. Letting this sit for another 30 seconds or so and then I wash it off using water and pat dry.</span></span></span></span></div>

Promising to remove plaque and significantly whiten, I put my Mr Blanc whitening strips away for the month to jump into a review of how well this toothpaste works. </span></span></span></div>

Surprisingly, unlike most whitening toothpastes, the Nu Skin one doesn't come with an overwhelming scent or taste. With a subtle minty taste the toothpaste wasn't a chore to use. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="a-size-large" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3 !important; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In terms of whitening, I can see a subtle change in the appearance of my teeth however can tell plaque has been significantly reduced. Without the use of peroxides, the usage of this product isn't going to damage my teeth so I will for sure keep using the product!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This month I received my very first #Voxbox from the Influenster programme which was in collaboration with Bourjois and their new range of Rouge Velvet Lipsticks.</span></div>
<div class="text-align-center" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #222222; font-size: 17.25px; letter-spacing: 0.1725px; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As part of the programme I received 12 new shades ranging from your perfect nudes to vibrant, classic reds! So let's kick the review off and then jump into swatch central!</span></div>
<div class="text-align-center" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #222222; font-size: 17.25px; letter-spacing: 0.1725px; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.1725px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The packaging of these lipsticks are genius! Each lipstick comes cased in a lid and base the same colour as the shade of the product. I know a lot of brands do these but never have I seen a brand get the colour so spot on to the point I can confidently say the colour of the casing and shade inside are identical so you know exactly what lipstick you're picking up. </span></span></div>
<div class="text-align-center" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #222222; font-size: 17.25px; letter-spacing: 0.1725px; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think that's one place MAC have fallen behind with their packaging as gone are the days where make up lovers have the energy to open up each tube to see which shade is inside!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The colour range itself consists of 12 shades from nudes to deep reds and oranges so there really is a shade for everyone. This collection can take you through every single season, they trend and every event as it is so varied. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The application of the lipstick is made easy by the use of a "teardrop" shape. The pointed edge allows you to be more precise when applying the lipstick to the outer edges your lips. The lipstick glides on effortlessly and has a real buttery consistency. The creamy nature of the lipsticks makes them easy to blend together to create even more unique shades.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's great to have a lipstick that dries with a matte finish but does not feel dry on the lips. The Bourjois team have really perfected a formula here! As they dry matte you can easily add a gloss on top if that's the look you prefer but personally I love the finish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There you have my review and it's so rare for me to not have any substantial negatives about a product but I genuinely have fallen in love with these lipsticks! I was sent these lipsticks as part of their campaign but it has introduced me to a brand which I barely own many products from. Best believe I will be having a deeper look into their make up stands from now on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As the week is rounding up, I come onto one the most talked about and reviewed highstreet make up brands - Primark. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So if you didn't already know (which I'm sure you all do) Primark recently released their PS Love Make Up brand covering everything from make up brushes and tools to primers and foundations. With some clear hits and misses I wanted to write about one of the products I haven't seen many bloggers rave about from this line! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQzZMBu0bs-e9_yLyCpWVBTx8Amb-fZmutp-mTNdHL1z6LS9QjRZCWKXEG0l79C4VX_X4nebfF0suppZ0qvP2Ectz-JB4-p5OVJWypZS3RJBZxA8DhRL3cvvi2kREZQZ79OGE-SItEf08/s1600/www.stjudechurch.co+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="90" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzQzZMBu0bs-e9_yLyCpWVBTx8Amb-fZmutp-mTNdHL1z6LS9QjRZCWKXEG0l79C4VX_X4nebfF0suppZ0qvP2Ectz-JB4-p5OVJWypZS3RJBZxA8DhRL3cvvi2kREZQZ79OGE-SItEf08/s1600/www.stjudechurch.co+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">PS Love's black khol Eye Liner is absolutely amazing! So jumping right off the bat let me say this you get TWO khol liners for only £1!! So at this price you know I wasn't expecting too much but I've been so impressed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So for £1 I wasn't expecting any lasting power - which I was proved wrong. I wasn't expecting easy application - which I was proved wrong and I wasn't expecting to draw for this over some of my all time favourite liners and again, I was so so wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The liner lasts pretty much all day with very minimal smudging, I can put the liner on at around 8am when I'm getting ready for work and after a day of trying to keep my eyes open in front of the computer followed by a gym session, I can go home and my liner is still in tact! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The formulation of the liner is creamy and a dream to apply, with just one layer I get the pigmentation that usually takes me several foundations to build up with some of my other (more expensive) liners. So even for 50p a pop, the liner has last me absolutely ages as a little goes a long way!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you can tell - I recommend you all picking up this liner and it will become a staple in your make up collection! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Will you be picking this up in your next shop? </span>Aartificialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04339485110151295608noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019191131672571861.post-68248517137798456202017-07-20T19:40:00.000+01:002017-07-20T19:40:11.719+01:00#HighstreetBeauty | New Look<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Continuing on from this week series of some of the best products from Highstreet beauty brands I'm going to introduce a foundation that has literally changed the game for me - & it's from NEW LOOK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, who would have thought the newest addition to my glam make up routine would be a foundation from a high street fashion store?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I stumbled across New Look's make up display and I have to admit I was blown away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From covering everything from nails and brows to foundations and blushers - It seemed that the counter had the potential of becoming the one stop shop for a full face of make up! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOy5r-Eq5YrgTlRm5TXvS9wIhZXkCseAfH7vzlANizQ_S8pmhjoB7-1ynxOMpLVsPCNgzZ-5gzCjalJcJ3MJ2z4-28W_OqfAY2I9verpANq8AjvPYtIy9wQpMH1fFF5zZUDDcEOAolc7Xe/s1600/www.stjudechurch.co+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="90" data-original-width="728" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOy5r-Eq5YrgTlRm5TXvS9wIhZXkCseAfH7vzlANizQ_S8pmhjoB7-1ynxOMpLVsPCNgzZ-5gzCjalJcJ3MJ2z4-28W_OqfAY2I9verpANq8AjvPYtIy9wQpMH1fFF5zZUDDcEOAolc7Xe/s1600/www.stjudechurch.co+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One product that specifically caught my eye was <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/beauty/porcelain-no-shine-mattifying-foundation_390910921" target="_blank">New Look's NO SHINE - Mattifying Foundation</a>. Ok, so you know the word Mattifying pulls me in, hook, line and sinker because of my naturally, overly oily T-Zone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Starting off with the packaging of this product - The foundation is packed in a frosted glass-like container with a square plastic lid - Somewhat similar to that of NARS <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: center;">Luminous foundation.</span> I am particularly happy that the foundation comes with a pump - which even some high end foundations don't include. Overall, the packing is fit for purpose and whilst being nothing amazing, it's perfect for the price tag attached to it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The liquid foundation itself is medium coverage but definitely buildable for fuller coverage. I found the coverage was perfect for everyday wear, giving a more natural look whilst evening my skin tone. As for mattifying? The mattifying effect wasn't strong enough for me to leave my translucent powder at home for the day - but I was so impressed that it was only after around 6-7 hours of wear that I found the need to lightly "powder my nose". </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Moving on to another reason the New Look foundation has won my heart - is the fact that it has to be one of the foundations that has been the best match for me. When swatching the foundation shades in store I was expecting for the colours to be either ashy or with a red untone but surprisingly the colour was the right tone with the perfect amount of warmth for me. I found the perfect shade - Rich Tan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, New Look's No Shine foundation is one of the biggest hidden gems on the highstreet. For £7.99 for 32ml you honestly can't go wrong! You may have the same questionable doubts that many of my friends have had when I've recommended it to them but I cannot stress how amazing this foundation applies, blends and adds the perfect day to day base. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">AND RIGHT NOW YOU CAN PICK UP THIS GEM - BUY 1 GET 1 FREE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you tried anything else from New Look's beauty range? What are your hidden gems?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With numerous high street stores recently announcing the launch of their very own make up lines - you know the beauty addict in me was itching to try out some of the best products each brand has to offer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So this week I will be breaking down some of my favourite products from the high street and letting you know why else may become the new "drugstores" and the place to satisfy your Make Up needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So kick starting this week - Let's jump straight into the H&M Beauty range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"Whatever your beauty regimen and style, we’ve got what you need. From make-up, hair and nails to skin, fragrance and accessories – we’ll help you look and feel your best."</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first and only product I've tried from H&M's beauty range is the compact foundation that retails for <a href="http://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0279618012.html#Espresso" target="_blank">£7.99.</a> This cream to powder foundation claims to even out skin tone, cover imperfections and makes a great foundation topper and I have to say this has definitely come through. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I initially was not blown away by the colour range that this product comes in, with only 4 shades picking the colour that was the perfect match wasn't the easiest thing to do but impressively they do have a shade range that caters to a variety of different skin tones. I picked up the shade chestnut which works perfectly if dusted lightly over my foundation to add some warmth however I found the perfect application for this product was as a contour shades. The cool undertones and buildable cover has made it my go-to contouring product over recent weeks as I can easily work it into the hollows of my cheeks without too much of a fuss. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love the fact that I can range from a light subtle contour to a full on Kim K chizled look. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All in all considering the accessibility, price and quality of this product it is pretty much a non brainer and can imagine it will be restocked in my make up bag for years to come (if they don't discontinue it like most brands do with my favourite product). </span><br />

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been itching to try out some of H&M's blushers so during my next trip to H&M Westfield, you know it's going to be swatch central. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Airbrush foundation has come and gone from the beauty industry over the last 10 years, With some make up junkies swear buying the flawless finish it gives, with others passing it off as a gimmick that can never replace liquid foundations. So in today's post - I'm putting one of the leading air brush foundation kits to the test to see what all the hype is about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mineral Air is a cordless, portable airbrush kit that provides coverage without needing primer, concealer, foundation or serum. The kit includes; the airbrush machine, a charging cord and I've also got my hands on two different foundation shades as well as a blush!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first step in kick starting the application is to add a few drops of your chosen foundation shade into the top of the machine. This area is protected by a spill proof cover which avoids the foundation liquid going every where especially when travelling with the machine. Once the machine is packed with the foundation, I gave it a little shake and press the button at the top. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unlike many other airbrush foundations I was so impressed at how gently the foundation is released from the small spray nozzle. Instead of the quick, heavy release of foundation i was expecting I was amazed at how lightly the product came out. This is one thing that instantly had me sold, as I found that the direction of the make up was so easy to control and made it easy to add coverage in specific areas. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think the thing that put me off air brush foundations previously is the fact that it looked like an unnecessarily messy, long winded and complicated procedure but Mineral Air is hands down easier to apply than my usual liquid - beauty blender method. I had my first layer applied within literally a few seconds and with no drying time or need to let the foundation sit - I was in with another layer straight after!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I'll be honest, I am obsessed with high coverage foundations and am a bit of a "all or nothing" kind of girl when it comes to my make up so at first it was difficult for me to see coverage when I first applied the airbrush foundation. The first layer gave my skin a glow and honestly gave me the "my skin but better" kind of look that is perfect for everyday wear. But me being me I had to go in with another layer to see whether this foundation could actually replace my high coverage foundation and I was so impressed at how easy it was to build on the base and get my desired look.Whilst it didn't cover every single blemish on my face - within around 30 seconds I was given coverage which is close to so many other liquid foundations I use.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unlike other foundations - I feel Mineral Air will never begin to look cakey or heavy due to how the foundation naturally blends into the skin but when applying more layers I did have the problem of the foundation beginning to look to dark and the shade was intensified. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bonus facts about the Mineral Air foundation is that the fact that no blending or brushes is required in the application makes it super hygienic and you'd never have to worry about any wastage. You literally have to use the tiniest amount of foundation drops to get multiple uses and after using it a good 3/4 times a week I've only had to top up the drops about 3 times within the space of a month. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the foundation, I've loved the finish and look the Mineral air has given me but I'm not so sold on the blush. This may be because I'm more of a bronzer lover and pinky blushes have never been my thing but I found the blush didn't apply as well as the foundation did. Also, my kit came with only one head which meant changing the liquid proved difficult as the foundation and blush blended together. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Mineral Air comes with different heads which you can buy to avoid this from happening but for me this seemed like an unnecessary additional expense and not worth £39.95..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, my first experience with an airbrush foundation has been positive and makes me understand why this has been such a raved about product within the industry. With the hefty price tag of £139.95 this isn't a cheap alternative to your usual liquid foundation but for you make up junkies out there I would recommend this to anyone who wants a natural, easy to apply foundation that won't irritate your skin. It's perfect for travelling and for holidays as you the finish won't block your pores or look cakey.</span></div>

If you're a regular reader of my blog you'll know my obsession with skincare and particularly cleansers. So when I added this gem to my skincare stash I knew it was something I had to sing and dance about over here on Aartificial.com!<br />
<br />
Introducing, Sarah Chapman's Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse. I say introducing but Sarah Chapman is far from a new brand, so I am sure many of you have already heard of her luxury skincare range before but for me her brand was totally new and I had no idea what to expect from her "Skinesis" range.<br />

It's all well and good spending hours applying the perfect base and sharpening your contour but how you remove your make up is just as important, if not more so. The Ultimate Cleanse promises to melt away all traces of make up whilst working along with your skin's natural oils to give you a gentle, yet efficient cleanse. The oil based cleanser claims to brighten, gently exfoliate and soften your skin whilst making the dreaded task of taking your make up off at the end of a long day, a breeze.<br />

<br />
With the high end nature of the product, the packaging has a lovely luxurious feel and is such high quality. The solid bottle has a nice weight to it and the sleek design is eye catching. The pump system for this product is a sure win for me, dispensing the perfect amount of product for your face - it's so easy to use and means you won't get carried away with too much product like I usually do!<br />

<br />
The method is pretty simple, like most other cleansers you pump a small amount of the product into the palm of your hand and massage all over your dry face and neck. You then add some water to your hands and continue massaging it product in. The original oily gel feel is then replaced with a milky texture and you can literally see your make up melting away. Using a wet muslin cloth simply wipe it all away. (Personally I have fallen in love with the cloths that Primark do, 3 for £1 so once they get a bit too yucky you can just throw it away and grab another),<br />

After my first use of this product I was sold! I thought I'd jump straight into the deep end and try this out after a "heavy make up day" to see if it really could remove a full face of make up, including eye-shadow and waterproof mascara and Sarah Chapman created a product that passed the test! The only downside I have for the product is the smell, it's not an unpleasant smell but personally I don't like my skincare products having a noticable scent. It's nothing I can't get used to, and not enough to stop me using the product though.<br />

<br />
At £44.00 for 100ml at Space NK, Sarah Chapman most definitely falls into the "high end" scale of skincare. Whilst a very little of the product goes a long way, the price makes this one of them products you slightly don't want to fall in love with, because repurchasing can easily cause a dent in your purse!b If there's anything you're going to splurge on - let it be your skincare.<br />
<br />
Overall, I've been so impressed by Sarah Chapman's Ultimate Cleanse and look forward to getting my hands on even more in the range.Aartificialhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04339485110151295608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019191131672571861.post-88165769635253578882017-03-24T17:40:00.001+00:002017-03-24T17:41:13.893+00:00Brand in The Spotlight | Jane Scrivner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few weeks ago i was lucky enough to be sent a lovely parcel packed with award winning skincare by Jane Scrivner. If you're an avid reader of my blog you would know that I am somewhat of a skincare junkie, so i dived right in to put these all to the test!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kicking off my review with <a href="http://janescrivner.com/products/balance/balance_nourishing_cleanser.html" target="_blank">Jane Scrivner's Nourishing Cleanser - £46.00</a>. This wonder product promises to "Melt makeup, dissolve dirt and purge pores" and right off the bat this luxurious cleansing balm did not disappoint!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Within the box you receive a 100ml tub of the cleanser, a small scooper and a fabric cleansing mitt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The method of using this product is pretty similar to most other cleansers but I love the fact that this product comes with a small scooper. Not only does it help you pick up the perfect amount of product each time, but I love how it keeps the rest of the product in the tub clean and hygienic. (Everyone knows the struggle of dipping your hands and nails in a tub over and over again!). Once I picked up the perfect amount of product, I placed this onto the surface of my skin and started rubbing this in, instantly the balm turned into an oily gel texture and my make up began to lift off my skin. Once every part of my face was covered in the balm, I placed my hand into the mitt, ran it under warm water and began to remove the product. I was so amazed by how quickly my make up was being removed with this product! As a make up remover fanatic, I've tried anything from cleansing milks, liquid make up removers, make up wipes and cream cleansers - but I have completely fallen in love with how easy this balm was to use and how quickly it got to work. I repeated these steps twice to make sure every inch of make up was removed and my skin was left so smooth and clear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With ingredients such as Jojoba, there is no surprise my skin instantly felt firmer and softer and the elements of Lavender and Sandalwood added a luxurious, spa-like scent that made the product such a joy to use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Moving onto the second skincare item; <a href="http://janescrivner.com/products/balance/affirmative.html" target="_blank">Jane Scrivner Affirmative Facial Oil - £29.00</a>. Facial Oils are usually the part of my skincare routine that often gets left behind. Removing my make up and moisturising usually take prime position and for some reason - applying a facial oil never seemed to be a priority for me... until i discovered that facial oils didn't always have to be a mess!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a firming and toning facial oil, the product is said to boost collagen production and promote the growth of skin cell and after a few weeks of using this product on a daily basis, alongside the rest of the Jane Scrivner skincare line, I could see a huge difference not only in the texture of my skin but also the tone and brightness. I saw a reduction in the light bumps on my face and every morning I found my make up sat on my skin better and gave me that flawless finish I've been looking for. It is easily comparable to my Nuxe - Huile Prodigieuse Facial Oil. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Like the rest of the skincare line, the toner keeps to the unique spa-like scent and the packaging meets the need of the product. With a pump mechanism that disperses the right about of product every time - there is never any wastage or over use of the oil.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Working alongside the Affirmative Facial Oil, is <a href="http://janescrivner.com/products/balance/oo_cream.html" target="_blank">Jane Scrivner's Over Oil Cream - £39.00</a>This unique product is to be used after facial oils to lock in moisture, mattify and hydrate. As a brand new concept of skincare to me, I was not only intrigued by this product, I was so excited for a matiffying cream that lock in moisture without being drying.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "lato";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At first glance, the bright orange colour of the product, followed by the orange scent of the cream caught my eye (& my nose) and screamed "Vitamin E" which is a core ingredient of the scream. Again, the tub comes with a small product scooper which stopped me having to put my fingers into the tub and I knew the exact amount of product to use. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "lato";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "lato";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "lato";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over all, I have been so pleasantly impressed by the whole range of skincare by Jane Scrivner that I tried out. If I was going to suggest one of the products you need in your life - it would have to be the Over Oil Cream. Not only is the concept totally unique and innovative, I love the fact the cream is specially designed to work alongside the other elements of my skincare routine and for oily skinned girls like me - the mattifying effect is a god send!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "lato";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Let me know what skincare picks you cannot live without!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You must have all seen this product all over the blogosphere over the last year or so, and if you're anything like me you done your research, saw the price and closed the browser straight away because spending £33.00 on a bottle of "liquid gold" with such bold claims, just doesn't seem right!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But during the month of December I picked up the M&S Beauty Advent Calendar and found a sample size of this little beauty inside!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been testing it out for over a month now and it's quickly become a staple in my night time skincare routine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's basically a "skin refining" product that claims to firm your skin, tighten enlarged pores and help reduce pigmentation. So let's just say it promises to be a wonder potion to leave you with flawless, clear, smooth skin - and it definitely has delivered!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Following the recommended method, I've been applying the Liquid Gold all over my freshly cleansed face and neck every other night before bed.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, I have been so pleasantly surprised with the results. My night time routine currently consists of a cleanser, face mist, Alpha H, followed by a hydrating night cream and I can't see myself changing that for a long time now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My skin has become noticeably more even in texture with certain areas of light pigmentation significantly improved. I've noticed my skin feels and looks so fresh with a subtle glow. In terms of tightening, I haven't seen any difference and my dreaded pores are still there - if anything they have been slightly reduced in size but nothing to sing and dance about. As I have combination skin, I found that the product did occassionally make my skin slightly drier in areas where I am prone to be dehydrated, but my hydrating night cream balances all that out for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am more than happy with the results but is it worth £33.00? I can't lie and say I would happily splurge on the product but if it's within your budget and you're looking for a product to add some life into your skincare routine - definitely get your hands on this! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me put out a disclaimer before I start this post and let you guys know Winged Eye-Liner has never been my specialty when it comes to make up application. Ask me about how to get a flawless base and crazy long eyelashes and I'm with it, but winged eyeliner and me haven't been on the same page for quite a while now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm always scrolling through Instagram seeing smooth, sharp wings and never seem to be able to create them myself. So I was more and excited to get my hands on the <a href="https://www.beautewise.com/products/high-definition-dual-eyeliner-pen#shopify-product-reviews" target="_blank">Beautwise's HD Dual Eyeliner Pen! </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a couple of weeks for using the product religiously for review purposes, I am proud to say I've jumped on the bandwagon and have joined the thousands of people who are singing the praises of this liner!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 5px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. no more panda eyes </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been using this liner underneath my khol liner. Not only does this add a deep intensity and really make my eyes POP, it's no smudge formula means I no longer have panda eyes by 4pm! It's been working wonders at keeping my khol liner in place and the thin nip is so easy to get a precise finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 5px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. best of both worlds</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dual ended pen is a perfect touch as you can create your desired look with ease. I love using the thicker end to create drama to my wing and the thin side to apply underneath my waterline. The tip is so soft that the product glides on easily, making application so fuss free (Even for an amateur like me).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay, soo many brands claim to have the lasting power to keep your make up in tact after a long days work and many never really come through. This is where the Beautewise liner is a top winner for me. When they say "Smudge Proof and Water Resistant" they are NOT lying! I was so skeptical that I even attempted to wipe the liner off with a little water and it.did.not.budge!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 5px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. bang for your buck</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At only $18 which is around £14-£15 this liner is worth every single penny! When compared to a lot of my high end liners from Benefit and Urban Decay - Beautewise come up trumps in terms of price as quality!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 5px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5. pigmented</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of my pet hates when it comes to eyeliners is the colour pay off. We all know the struggle it is to get your cat eye on point, but it's a disaster when you're struggling to get the bold intensity that you need and have to constantly go over your liner. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With the naughty Christmas and New Year Season well and truly over, the month of Resolutions is in full swing so if a 2017 goal of yours is to treat your skin better - then I've discovered the perfect solution for you!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before the festive months, I received an amazing parcel from Renovita.co and couldn't have been more excited to try out their goodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://renovita.co/" target="_blank">Renovita </a>has shone as a brand due to their innovative, unique approach at not only skincare but also general wellness. Their Clean Beauty Program focuses on delivering each customer tailor made skincare products targeting environmentally caused skin issues. So that means counter-acting all the harm them chocolates and sweets had done to your skin!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The way it works is combining amazing work by <b><i>"The Beauty Lab"</i></b> who collect information aiming to understanding everyone's individual needs and <b><i>"The Beauty Butler"</i></b> who analysing the data and creates the magic lotions and potions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Personalised beauty has definitely been a huge hit in the beauty industry recently, so with the mix of pretty packaging, personalisation and products that actually work - Renovita.co is ticking all the boxes!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At present the first launch by Renovita is their revitalizing serum kit named LUME.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The serum kit is customised with specific 'factors' that targets your skin's unique needs. Within the beautifully packaged kit, you receive three revolutionary products which make up the complete kit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The first wonder potion is the <b><u><i>Revitalizing Base.</i></u></b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This product promises to equalize and balance your skin. I've incorporated this product into my daily skincare routine by applying this all over on my freshly cleansed face. The serum is super light weight, non sticky and I am so pleased that it doesn't come with a nasty smell. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The second is a <b><u><i>Regenerating Booster</i></u></b></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The Regenerating Booster is the product that is going to keep us all looking youthful and glowy! The product is infused with "Unique Growth Factors" that basically produce collagen to help lock in that plump, healthy looking skin! I've been using this alongside the Revitalizing base and both products together have become my dream team! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Time to get personal. Lastly, each kit comes with a unique product that is matched to your personal skin type. I got my hands on both the <b><i><u>Hydrating Factor</u></i></b> and the <b><i><u>Firming Factor</u></i></b> to kill to birds with one stone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Hydrating Factor has been a godsend to battling my "Dry-Winter-Skin" problem. We all know the feeling when the winter months have your skin dried out and dull, so after dabbling between both this version and the Firming factor the visable dry patches on my skin have become pratically non - existant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Moving on to he Firming Factor, I know many of you are probably thinking - <i>Aarti you're still in your early 20s.. How is aging skin a problem for you? </i>But as we've all heard a million of times.. It's all about prevention rather that the cure! So I was more than happy to start my anti-aging process with this magic potion full of natural <i>Algae</i> which is known to have amazing results in tightening and firming skin. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, I have been thoroughly impressed by all of the products included within Renvoita Wellness' skin care line. Products with simple ingredients, perfect pretty packaging and visible results get huge thumbs up from me and I wouldn't think twice about recommending these to anyone! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Renovita are pioneering brand that I was definitely watch out for in 2017. With even more customisable options and even the talk of inject-ables on the table, I'm excited to see what else is in store for this brand. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Face Masks have got to be the best part of my skincare routine. Whether its a clay mask, bubble mask, sheet mask or even a DIY Home Made Mask - I love it. There is something so rewarding about applying them to my face, sitting back and relaxing and having smooth, glowy skin a little while later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So while I was browsing through the beauty department in H&M at Westfield I couldn't help but pick up a few of their face masks - Not only did they look so cute in their packaging, they were also so reasonably priced so I have to snap them up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In typical form it was the mask that promised to help me with one of my major skincare woes - Pores!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Packaging</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like I mentioned already, the packaging has got to be one of the things that really drew me in to buying this mask. I loved how they all come in a cute little, almost tester sized, tub as travelling with these would be a doddle. Once removed from the outer casing each tub comes with a peel back lid and 10ml of product. Overall, I love the aesthetics of the packaging, I love how easy it would be to travel with however as you get just about enough product for 2 applications I'd love for the lid to be resealable. My only advice is to not remove the lid completely so you can re-cover the remaining product easily to re use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Usage</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I got about 2 applications out of this small tub and that was me being generous and applying two layers every time. The consistency of this mask isn't as thick as I expected from a clay mask but it is easily build-able using a foundation brush and the drip free formula makes it so easy to work with. I left the mask on for around 20-25 minutes (I never listen to the recommended time) and it was completely dry when it came time to wash it off. I opted for using a damp muslin cloth to remove the mask as Cellulose sponges just weren't doing the trick. A little bit more of a faff that other face masks I've used but nothing to put me off the product!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Results</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While the face mask was on and doing it's thing - I could feel a mild tingle which went away once the mask was dry. Personally, I love feeling my facial products tingling as to me this means they're working! Once the mask was fully removed my skin really did feel super hydrated and clean. Whether my pores were cleansed isn't something I could have actually measured but I definitely saw a difference in the complexion and texture of my face. The next day my make up and primer applied like a dream and I'm already looking forward to trying my next H&M Face Mask!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Price</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The price for this mask is £1.99 which is very reasonable and you are getting a quality mask for that price. However, when weighing up the amount of product you are getting - I'm not sure this will be a regular purchase for me as there are many other Clay Masks on the market with similar results, similar price point but A LOT more product for your money. But don't let that put you off completely, I think the H&M masks are a lovely concept, well packaged and give amazing results so if you love trying new skincare definitely give it a go!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Final Thoughts</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am a fan of this face mask and it really does work! For a high street fashion brand H&M have done a great job with their entire beauty range and it's worth giving the masks a go. They have it all covered from Deep Cleansing and Detox masks to Moisturizing and Nourishing masks - so you're bound to find something to suit your needs!</span><br />
