Eve Lom Rescue Mask...

Hi lovelies :) Hope youve all had a lovely weekend!! Back at uni this week and cant wait to finish for summer yayyyy!! So much work to do though ahhh!! Anyways ive been trying out a new mask lately from a luxury sought after brand called Eve Lom. Its a gorgeous luxury brand and ive eyed the products for awhile now and ive been testing out their smaller version of the Rescue Mask. 

 

 

 

The rescue mask is a weekly complexion booster which gives your skin a well needed pick me up!! Its an 'emergency' treatment for stressed out and tired looking skin. By smoothing and conditioning the skin it leaves your skin hydrated and soft with added benefits of helping calm redness and soothing puffy skin. 

 

The mask deep cleanses but without drying the skin out and decongests the pores. Whether it’s blotchy, irritable break-outs, jet-lag, or morning-after puffiness, this hard-working and versatile mask will get your skin back on track.
Featuring Camphor, Almond and Honey-infused Kaolin Clay, it is the perfect weekly deep clean to keep your complexion in radiant condition.

 

 

 

My first impression of the mask was the smell. Im not a big lover of the strong almond smell on my face and that is the only negative that i have. The consistency is very thin and applies evenly to the skin. Leaving it on for 20 minutes or so and it does dry hard on the skin. The after effects are AMAZING. My skin looked 10x better and looked radiant. I love that it helps calm blemishes and redness which it did with me and its great for a weekly treat whether youve been ill or stressed. A lovely mask if you are after a weekly pick me up :)

Have you tried any products from Eve Lom before? what are your thoughts?

March Monthly Faves.....

Hi lovelies :) Hope you are all having a fab easter weekend indulging in your easter eggs. This month has completely flown by and i nearly forgot about doing my monthly faves. I havent had alot of products to go this month mainly with my skin playing up ive wanted to keep things to a minimum. 

The tea tree face mask is still going strong and with plently left i think at £10 from the body shop its worth the money. I use this once - twice a week and it really calms down those pesky spots. The mask is a gel like tecture which doesnt dry hard. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and your skin is less red and so soft. At first the tea tree smell is abit overwhelming but it makes a huge difference to my skin and its a lovely treat at the weekend and in the middle of the week. Really enjoy :)

Again i dont think the Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel needs an introduction from me. This is most certainly a holy grail product in my eyes. I would recommend trying to find a small size bottle to test it out before purchasing the bigger size as the price tag is abit hefty but is SOOOOO worth it!! Its a clearish consistency which is sort of inbetween a gel and a cream id say. Dont be fooled ladies just because this baby isnt gritty doesnt mean it doesnt do the job in getting rid of all the dead skin. You place this all over your face like a mask leave it on for 10 minutes or so and rinse it off. I love this product alot it has a lot of love from me and i would recommend this to everyone. 

The Origins drink up intensive mask is a new product for me. Having the smaller size i didnt really fancy in paying alot of money on something that i may not like but this certainly is a product that will firmly stay in my skin regime. The smell is so fruity and fresh which adds a little something extra. Its a rich moisturising mask that makes your skin feel hydrated when you wake up in the morning. I use this twice a week and my skin is never left dry. If you have dry skin then i would think this product would really help. 

The 17 nail polish is a gorgeous pretty orange colour. Ive been loving this colour to brighten up my nails and to get ready for summer time. Its transformed my mood when i think about going on holiday and i think it looks great to brighten up a cute outfit!!

So there we have my monthly faves. Not alot this month so hopefully next month i can experiment a little bit more. What have been your faves this month? :) any holy grail items?

 

 

Review: Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

Hi Lovelies :) hope our week is going good!! Mine has been so stressful with uni work but ive now finished for 3 weeks yayyyyy!! so plenty of shopping and haul posts to come im sure!!

So Origins wasnt a brand i was familiar with at all and didnt even know existed. I only started to know recently about this brand through watching youtube and blogs and im so glad i did. One of my friends is doing an internship sort of thing with the brand so has given me a few mini samples. The one i was actually planning on purchasing was of course this product 'Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask'. I was so happy with this sample and couldnt wait to try it out. 

First of all i havent read anyone mention the packaging. On first impressions with olive green kind of colour and trees as a header it just stands out as quite a natural earthy product. Sometimes i never bother to actually look at the packaging in detail but this one caught my eye and made me think about the ethics behind it. 

Onto the product. This intense moisture mask contains Avocado and Apricot Kernel oil which deeply quenches the skin. Its ideal for dehydrated and dry skin and it makes your skin super soft and hydrated. 

The smell of this product is so fruity and fresh. The consistency is quite thick but not overly thick and is best to apply it about 30mins before going to bed as not to get it all over your pillow!! When waking up my skin felt and looked the best it ever has especially since the colder weather leaves skin more drier its totally replenished it. This is a product that i will buy in the full size and will be one of my staple products. I used this for over a week and the results are so good. I think i will try other Origin products as this one has totally won me over :)
