Multi-Masking!

I have heard a few people talking about 'Multi-Masking' and how it's the new skin care secret so I decided that I would take a peek further into this craze and see what it's all about! Multi-Masking is basically where you use two or three face masks at the same time, it's supposed to be able to target exactly what the different parts of your face need depending on the skin problems and condition in that area, for example; if you have a very oily T-Zone you should apply a clay based mask to this area  which includes your nose and forehead and then if you  have dry cheeks and neck then you should use a gel based mask in those areas! Multi-Masking allows you to effectively care for specific areas of your skin that is constantly changing whilst not having to apply a whole mask to parts of your face that don't need it. I decided to give it  a go! I used an anti stress mud pac for ultra deep pore cleanse on my T-zone and Skin Rescue purifying gel mask on my chin and cheeks, I normally only use the gel mask but I decided to pick up a clay mask for my T-zone! I always apply my face masks with a brush as I find it really easy to apply and then I can get it exactly where I want it! I actually didn't mind applying two different face masks to my skin it wasn't any more hassle that just one! 

After removing the face masks my skin felt great, I love using both these face masks and I loved using them at the same time, overall I LOVE Multi-Masking, its so much fun and my skin loves it! For anyone who feels like it might be too much hassle, give it a try I honestly didn't feel like it was and it allows you to mix and match for what your skin needs!

Zoella Beauty!

Can I just start this off by saying how amazingly pretty all the Zoella packaging is! I'm one of those people who can be tempted by just the packaging, call me crazy, but I love having all my beauty products displayed in my bathroom and when I saw this packaging I couldn't resist! After being drawn in like a moth to a flame I decided I needed to smell these! I absolutely love the smell, it isn't heavily fragranced but you know that your body is going to smell heavenly after using this! The packaging says that it scent is blueberry and acai berry but I don't think that it smells very fruity, I think that it smells very floral! I have tried to use the foam sweet foam as a bubble bath too, it lathers up well but the bubbles didn't last very long in my bath so I think i'm just going to stick to using it in the shower! I love this and my shower isn't complete without using some of this! When I was trying to see if the foam sweet foam worked well as a bubble bath I used some of the bath fizzers, I used two cubes as they were quite small but they fizzed really well and made my bath smell heavenly! I love the fact that these bath fizzers are in a chocolate/candy bar shape and wrapped like that, its so adorable and pretty! I already want to stock up on  more of these!! 

New Found Love For Shellac!

Seeing as I was going away for 2 and a half weeks I decided that I wanted to give shellac a go! I'd heard that it lasts for at least two weeks and with all the different events I had whilst I was there, a wedding and anniversary family weekend away and much more, I thought that shellac would be perfect so that I had pretty looking nails for most of my holiday!  Even though it took a little while for them to paint it and a lot of in and out of the UV light dryer, I was so happy with how they turned out! I'd gone for a french manicure shellac and it was so pretty! About a week into my holiday I gave someone a manicure and a pedicure and I used acetone free nail polish remover and I managed to keep them clean and looking fresh! After two weeks of being on holiday they stated to grow out a little bit and the edges were starting to come up a little bit too but other than that they had stayed perfect! I look back at all the pictures I was in during my holiday and I'm really happy with how my nails looked in all of them and I was really glad I got them done! Now I just have the hard job of trying to get them off, which is a pain no matter what you do! In total my nails lasted 3 weeks, i'd happily get my nails done with shellac again! I love it! 

Empties!

I have a huge pile of empties that have been building up so I thought I would review some of them!

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips- I had bought cheaper pore strips before which I really didn't like so I decided to buy these and see if they would work, these seem to be the go to pore strips for most people! They are really easy to apply, they don't have a scent and as long as you dampen you nose well they stick really well and harden really solid, because they do stick well you have to be really slow at peeling them off or it will hurt! Plus doing it slowly means that they really do remove dirt from the clogged pores, I really liked using these and I'm definitely going to buy more!

Olay Silky Berry Cleansing Body Wash- I love this! It was one of those purchases I made after standing in the aisle with all the bubble baths and shower jels smelling each one and eventually decided I loved the smell of this! It smells amazing, very fruity but not too sweet, it foams up really well which is why I used it as body wash and bubble bath too! It has a slight shimmer to it too which was super cute! I can't wait to get some more of this!

Passion Peel Off- This is a pomegranate and passion fruit peel off face mask, the first thing I noticed when I opened the packet was it's had a really unpleasant smell, it was really strong and didn't smell fruity at all, this made it really off putting when I was trying to apply it, it went on quite well but took a very long time to dry! Although I was happy with how easy it was to peel off and it left my skin feeling very smooth but I wouldn't buy this again, I'd rather pick a better scent!

Göt 2B Smooth Operator Hairspray- I don't use hairspray very often and so I've had this for a while but when I started to use this a lot more I ran out! This is great to deal with fly away hairs especially after straightening my hair, I spray some of this on my hair brush and just brush my through and it keeps all the fly always down, it's smells great and holds really well if you use it on an updo. It's made with cashmere so it leaves your hair feeling silky smooth! I will certainly be repurchasing this!

Helpful Honey!

Honey here, honey there, honey honey everywhere! Like I talked about in one of my previous blog posts, I love honey scented things, but honey isn't just great for making things smell yummy and delicious, honey can be used to make your skin, hair and nails feel fabulous and it's all natural! Not only is it super moisturizing, it fights bacteria and is jam packed full of nutrients, anti oxidants and can work wonders for healing! Whether you buy a beauty product that is packed full of honey or you want to give some DIY pamper treatments a go, using honey can be super easy!

Honey is really moisturizing as well as hydrating and soothing on your skin, if you're feeling like you face needs some TLC then use honey as a DIY face mask or pick a face mask that contains honey for more hydrated and smoother skin!

Almost everyone suffers from acne, blemishes and scars, honey is antibacterial which make it an amazing cleanser for acne and blemish prone skin and you can simple apply to specific areas and leave on then wash off! Not only is it antibacterial it has fading affects too which means that if you regularly apply it to a scar it will fade it!

Honey can be great for extra pamper treats as well like lip scrub and nail strengthener! If you mix honey with brown sugar and apply to lip as a gentle exfoliation you lips will be left feeling soft and smooth and if you apply honey to your nails it strengthens your nails and makes your cuticles smooth, after rinsing well!

Lush Bath Bomb Loves!

Who can resist a bath bomb that delivers the prettiest of sights, Shoot For The Stars is one of my most favourite bath bombs and it makes me so sad that I can't buy this regularly! Not only does this look beautiful on display, with the yellow star trails and purple powder galaxies, when dropped in water it produced the most spectacular array of colours that gently foam out into the water as well as a wonderful glittering surprise centre and if the beautiful sights aren't everything then to top it all of it smells like a creamy caramel & honey cocktail and like I said in one of my previous posts I absolutely love honey scents and paired with how beautiful this bath bomb is this is why it is my favourite!Paired with It's Raining Men shower gel for bubbles galore, I love to lay back and take in the heavenly scents! 

I love everything pink and girly and Sex Bomb is the ultimate pink bath bomb, it has an amazing fizz and is topped of with the most adorable flower that opens up and floats around your bath. This is one of their classics and is definitely up in my top list! Some of my favourite scents are floral and this rosey one leaves you and your bath smelling like a flower garden. I wish that this bath bomb had glitter in it because I would buy everyone one of these to have my bath a pink glittery rose scented mixture! I find that I love using the Rose Jam Bubblerooon with this to create a pink bubbly heaven. Top your bath with rose petals for that extra piece of pure bliss!

Sweet Talking and Munchmallow!

At so many festivals, events and markets you can always find a food truck or stand that's selling amazing and crazy cupcakes with crazy but delicious flavour combinations! Now imagine those crazy delicious flavour combinations, but instead of cupcakes, with a soft chewy crispy rice square! I was beyond excited when I spotted a Munchmallow food truck at a festival last week, bringing you giant treat squares in over 60 flavours such as Oreo, Nutella , Strawberries & Cream, Red Velvet, S'mores and many more! I decided to go for the Oreo one, classic cookies and cream and it was delicious, perfectly soft and chewy with the crunch of the Oreos mixed in and top with an adorable mini Oreo! I love marshmallow squares as it is and these were a perfect treat! Their food truck is ever constantly on the go but I hope to try more of these treats again! After reading their website I discovered that they can create custom flavours and can even create marshmallow treat cakes in any flavour you wish! You are even able to hire the truck to come to your event for you, serving your friends and family delicious treats! I feel like I have gone Munchmallow crazy!
