Lush Mask of Magnaminty!

Hi guys! Im back with another post for my lovely followers! I love to pamper myself when I get the time to. After a long hard working week, I like to treat myself to a long deserving pampering session! Using a refreshing face mask is included in this pamper session. Recently, I have been loving the well-loved Mask of Magnaminty by Lush. This particular face mask has been raved about everywhere. Whilst on the hunt for a face mask on recent shopping trip to Lush, I thought let me grab this and see what the fuss is really about!

 Lush Mask of Magnaminty

 Hmmm I am sceptical about this claim. I don't think it is true.

Look at how gorgeous this green gooey mask looks!

 

 I can honestly tell you guys that I was not disappointed! Fortunately the product was a really good investment in my opinion. I cant remember exactly how much this was but I think it was over £5 or something similar to that. It smells amazing! Very minty as the name of the mask suggests. I found that mask really refreshing on the face and I felt like it helped make my skin feel much nicer after using this mask. It really helped unclog my pores and help my face feel less tight and strained. I half-heartedly sort of agree with the claim it helps 'return your skin to tip top condition'. It helps the skin feel less strained but it does not really do anything amazing or miraculous do the skin.

 

To be honest, I am not too sure abut the claim Lush makes on the face mask about 'doing everything it can in fighting eruptions and outbreaks on the face'. I can firmly state that this mask did not really help the blemishes on my face. I am recently recovering from breakouts as a result of exam stress these past few weeks and this mask did not really help the condition of my skin, though I do love how this mask feels. It feels really refreshing and really does pamper my face. I like to use this face mask as a treat rather than a treatment mask to help fight any break outs because it does not really help with breakouts!

 

I really do love this face mask and I think it is ideal for those mini pamper sessions we all need to make us feel good! Nothing really makes a girl feel as good as putting a green gooey face mask on! Haha. I really do recommend this mask!

 

Go on then, give your skin a treat 

 

 Pamper your face with this mask! ;-)

Return of the Mac + Maxnina Discovery!!!

Hey lovelies! My exams are officially OVER and SUMMER can officially begin! I am so excited to be reunited with my blogging obsession and I had sorely missed being ' Omni-present' in the blogging world! Now I am officially back  and I have exciting things to share with you guys.

 

Recently, I was contacted by a fashion retailer company called Maxnina and I really love their stuff! I was really disappointed in myself for not having recognised their brand before! Like seriously I do not know why I had not heard of this brand. Let me tell you this guys. This website is AMAZING like seriously I think they really do cater for all occasions, all ages and all wants and needs. They have the most prettiest dresses for occasions such as proms and weddings! They also do men's clothing and designer dresses! I noticed they also had dresses for Graduation and as I am due to graduate next year I am so glad I came across this online store as it will definitely come in handy.

 

As summer is a popular time for weddings and proms I think this website might come in handy for a few of you! Might I add that they do FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE in addition to this! I overwhelmed by the variety and range of the products they sell! I am particularly fond of their jewellery as I have seen a few statement necklace pieces that have really caught my eye!

 

Here are a few examples of things that I have been lusting over!

I love wearing white dresses in this season. I just think it looks lovely and wholesome and pretty in the sun. I love how white looks of girls with an olive and medium toned skin tone. The colour really contrasts against the skin beautifully! I love this dress its really simple and girly. Right up my street!

In the summer season I love wearing pretty maxi dresses as I think they are versatile pieces. Maxi dresses can be dressed up with a few bits of eye popping jewellery and they can also be dressed down for those casual summer days! I think this particular maxi is so pretty and girly! I have been looking for something just like this for my holiday! I love wearing pale pastel colours in this season. I think it looks beautiful against tanned skin!

I love how this blazer is structured and I love the black detailing on the lapels of the blazer. It is effortless statement classic addition to any girl's wardrobe. At the moment I am currently lusting over white blazer's as I think they make any outfit look sharp for this summer season. I am particularly loving the colour white in clothing this summer! Im obsessed!

You can find Maxnina products right here!

 

Lots of Love,

Sleek Makeup Face Form Contour Kit in Medium

Hey guys! Im going to sneak a quick post up today as I just cant get enough it seems! So I have mentioned in many previous posts about my love of Sleek Makeup products and I have to say they are one of my favourite drugstore brands. I really think they do a great job of catering to medium to dark skinned ladies.

The Sleek Contour Kit has been hyped and raved about for awhile now. I think the reason for this, is that before this kit came out it was not easy to find a matte contour in the drugstore. Now that has changed as many other drugstore brands have released more matte contour shades.

Contouring gives the illusion that you have more defined cheekbones or gives more definition and emphasis for those that have cheekbones. I have a round face so I like to contour my cheekbones to give my face a bit of shape. I used to use a matte bronzer by MAC but now I  like using the matte contour colour like the one in this pallete. I feel like it looks more natural! With contouring matte colours is the way to go as we want to give the illusion that our face is naturally sculpted beautifully!  Also, shimmer should be placed elsewhere as a highlight.

 

 

 I picked out this Face Form Contour Kit in Medium as I felt the Light was a tad too light for me. Sleek Makeup is available in Superdrug's for those who do not know and they also have a online website for those not in the UK. I have to say that I really like the highlight especially in this pallete! It looks so natural when applied delicately on top of the cheeks. I love the way it looks when the light is reflected onto my cheeks. The other shade is a blush shade and it reminds me of the Sleek Blush called Sunrise. It is a bronzey shimmer toned blush with gold flecks of glitter. This would look gorgeous in this current Summer Season!

 

What do you use to contour with?

 

Have you tried this kit out before? What do you think?
