lush mask of magnaminty review!

hey guys!

it is finally friday! i have had such a long week preparing for my spanish oral which was today but i think it went pretty well, so hopefully the hard work payed off! and also, if you follow me on twitter you might  now that due to changing my url last week my posts haven't been showing up on my dashboard which is very annoying but fingers crossed i think it's fixed! If you didn't see my last post it was my eyebrow routine! anyway, today i thought i'd do a review on lush's mask of magnaminty!

What do Lush say?

 "This is one of our ultimate products and is intended for what Adrian Mole (Age 13 3/4) describes as Big Boy spots. Spots that take two days to come up but five days to bugger off.  And always when you have a date or something important coming up. Mask of Magnaminty does everything it can to fight these types of outbreaks and return the skin to tip top condition."

Mask of Magnaminty is a thick green mask that hardens and sets after you put it on your face. When you wash it off you can also rub it into your skin to exfoliate, which is great if you're like me and love 2-in-1 products! I use it 2 or 3 times a week and sometimes dotted it on those really bad, bruise-like spots for a bit of extra treatment! The mintyness (new word?!) of it makes your skin feel so refreshed and cleansed and not as "sluggish" (to quote lush). It's not at all drying and definitely makes my skin feel decongested, although I am not too sure about it preventing breakouts, not with my skin anyway, however i do find that it did help make my skin feel so much smoother and looked a lot clearer!.

Despite making you look a bit like the Hulk, I really like this face mask and shall definitely be repurchasing when i run out! I might also pick up cosmetic warrior as i have heard some good things about it!

Have you tried any Lush face masks? Which ones would you recommend?

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed!

skin saviour!

good evening everyone!

today's post is going to be about a rediscovery of mine! it's called rescue oil, and is pretty much an exact dupe for bio-oil in terms of looks and packaging.

I bought this a while back from the pound shop, for only (yep you guessed it) £1. I really wanted to try out bi-oil but i thought it was a bit pricey for what it was, so when i saw this i bought it right away. I don't own bio-oil so i can't really compare them on quality and the way they work but they are pretty similar in looks! I've been using this on any dry patches on my face, hands, body, wherever! i have even used this as a hair oil and a bath oil as it's pretty multifunctional! I especially like to use this on any eczema on my arms/legs and face! i find this doesn't break me out at all, but when my skin is really a bit congested and i'm a bit spotty, i tend to just massage this into my face when i am in the bath/shower and then rinse it off and it leaves my skin feeling really smooth! i don't really use this in the morning before i put on make up unless my skin is really dry, as i feel it will just make me look really shiny/oil!

just like bio-oil, this can be used to prevent ageing skin, sun burn, scarring, stretch marks etc! (basically the works) although i'm only 15 so i don't really have ageing skin (well i hope not anyway) and i am lucky enough to not have any stretch marks, so i can't comment on how good it is for that! but again, it's amazing for dry skin!

I haven't been into the pound shop recently, so i'm not too sure if they still stock it! but if you want this and maybe don't have a pound shop or your local one doesn't stock it, you can buy it on amazon here!

Thanks for reading! hope you enjoyed this post!
