Now that is a long title.

Ever since I tried the glam glow facemask  my facemask obsession had grown.

We all know I suffer with breakouts and this week it's at it's peak.

My chin is over loaded with painful spots that not even my boi-ing concealer will cover :(.

So I decided I needed to invest in some new skincare products because quite clearly my current skincare isn't working, and effaclar duo just seems to burn my spots and create new infected looking ones instead of helping my skin. If you want a full review just comment below :)

I've seen a few bloggers talk about the Una Brennan range and wanted to really try it out myself.

I've heard the range has skincare that could help with my spotty skin.

I seen this on the shelf at my local boots and read the back of the product.

"Clear your skin of dirt, excessive oils and toxins which lead to breakouts with this pore purifying clay mask. it contains salicylic acid, proven to help unclog congested skin and oil- absorbing Dead Sea mud rich in magnesium, calcium,potassium and iron for the perfect facial detox at home.

Avocado oil rich in vitamins A, D and E with acacia honey futher help skin rebalance itself to reveal a clearer , refreshed looking complexion.

After reading that , I was sure this was the product to banish my spots and give me that in house spa and pamper night all Sundays are made of.

I cleansed my skin and placed this all over my face and neck. 

I love the smell of this, the bottle says leave on for 5 mins but I kept it on for 20mins as I found the smell luxurious and I was waiting for the mask to completly dry which it doesn't in the 5 minute time scale they say.

It reminds me of going for a full body massage, it's that smell that they have in the massage room. 

I love how this feels on then skin.its a really nice tingly sensation which indicates to me that it's working well an doing it's job on my skin.

So I sat and soaked in the bath with this on my face and after 20 mins I rinced my face clean and then patted it dry.

My skin felt super soft and felt thoroughly cleansed.

Already my aching chin felt a lot less swollen and the spots on my jawline had dramatically reduced in size.

It doesn't feel drying on the skin at all but the skin does feel pert and more together again especially after a long working week.

I felt slightly detoxed if that makes any sence. 

I would defiantly recommend this product especially if your looking for a good mask but don't want to spend a fortune.

This mask I bought from boots and cost me £5.99 (currently on offer usually £8.99) 

I would pick it up on your next boots trip and see for yourself.

So inexpensive yet so impressive 

What do you think? 

Any skin clearing masks you would reccomend?

I absolutely adore this colour, its defiantly very me !!

I love the packaging with its honeycomb detailing on the lid and the fact that this product is 100% natural is always a win.
Its a very sheer lip gloss so it would look fabulous both on its own and also over another lip colour to give it some shine.
It smells like MAC lipstick and is very nourishing to the lips.

For a lip gloss i would say the longevity of the product is quite good.

It hasn't launched yet but when it does it will retail for about £8.99

I am defiantly going to purchase a few more shades when they are released, I love a lip gloss especially one that has many good ingredients like Burt's Bees.

Thanks again Zoe for sending me this product and I'm looking forward to reading your review of the colours you received.

So this is meant to be a dupe for the Liz Earle Hot cloth cleanser, but I haven't tried that so I can't compare.
Ive been using this on a daily basis for nearly 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. It leaves my skin feeling fabulous and thoroughly cleansed.

In the box you get 150ml of cleanser and a muslin cloth which is a pretty good deal

It stated that it awakens the skins natural glow whilst cleansing and gently exfoliating the skin, which i can vouch for. From the first use I noticed that it really improved the radiance of my skin.

The Cleanser is formulated with a unique energising complex and infused with kiwi fruit and mulberry extracts to help revive skins radiance and skin tone. It is also enriched with cocoa butter.

It is a cream consistency and it just melts onto my skin in the morning to wash away any oil that I have produced over night and any residue left over from my night time skincare routine, I also use this at night time where is melts away any makeup from the day with ease leaving my skin feeling fresh and fully cleansed.

I wet my face and rub this all over my skin for a few minutes making sure not to forget my neck and then I buff away with the muslin cloth provided in a circular motion which I have soaked and then rung out, which helps to gently exfoliate my skin.

I don't find that this has a overpowering smell at all, in fact it is quite pleasant, and the results are remarkable, it does exactly what it says on the box.


you can purchase this Here  usually £5.99 but on offer for £2.98 so buy two haha

Have you tried this ?

Does it compare to the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser?

This is my first instalment of bargain beauty. 

This is just a series of my most recent bargain purchases. All of which are readily available and under £10.

This is good if your not able to afford high end products or you just want to try out different brands and take a good look at the drugstore offerings.

I mean bargain beauty is always a good thing? Right?

I am happily mistaken, I spotted these velvet lip lacquers for only a mere £3 each. I was astounded and picked up the 2 colours that where left on the display. (MUA had hardly any products left on the stand) I know I would have picked up more if the full colour range was in stock.
