Review: Passion Peel Off Face Mask

Hey guys!

I apologise as this post is quite overdue since I received this face mask from Montagne Jeunesse at the beginning of February (oops!). As a major lover of Montagne Jeunesse face masks I was only too happy to try this product and thought I would share my thoughts on it with you. 

What they say: "Gently peel away dead skin with our amazing Passion Peel Off deep cleansing masque. Our Pomegranate and Passion Flower formula cleans, purifies and protects leaving your skin feeling fresh and radiant".

These masks are also suitable for vegetarians and Montagne Jeunesse always try to use natural ingredients where possible. 

What I thought: Generally when it comes to masks I prefer the clay or mud masks as I find they do more for my skin than peel off masks. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this mask and will definitely be seeing what other peel off masks are available! 

After cleansing my face I put the mask on and waited for it to dry. One thing I'm always impressed about when using Montagne Jeunesse products is the amount of product you get in one sachet, it's always very generous! 

The smell wasn't my favourite as I'm not a lover of pomegranate which was the only down side for me but it wasn't horrible enough for me to remove it from my face so I wasn't too bothered by it.

Once the mask was dry, I peeled it from my face (there is definitely something appealing about peeling it off or is it just the child in me?) and noticed how soft and clear my face felt.

Overall I'm very impressed with this product and would definitely purchase it in the future but maybe a different scent. For more information about this product click here.

The passion peel off face mask is available in ASDA and other leading retailers or online here.

Have you tried this?

NOTD: black leopard print

Hello guys,

I know my last post was a NOTD as well but I promise I have some different posts coming for you shortly!

Recently I've been trying out different nail designs and after seeing a tutorial on instagram of how to do a leopard print design I thought I would give it a go and I'm extremely impressed with how it turned out.

Sorry about the picture, my nails look a bit untidy and I currently have some dry skin on my fingers (ew!).

To create this design I used a dotting tool to create the spots and then using a cocktail stick I drew black lines surrounding the spots and random dots and lines around the spots. I actually found this really easy to do and I'll hopefully get better with practice! I think painted the rest of my nails black and finished with a top coat when all my nails were dry. The nail polishes used were: Essence - black is back, MUA - all nude, MUA - shade 16 and Beauty UK - burgundy.

What have you been wearing on your nails recently?

NOTD: Blue Ombre

Hello guys,

Due to being so busy with university recently I haven't had any time to post so I thought I'd show you a nail design that I did last week. 

For a while now I've wanted to try the 'ombre' nail design but always thought it looked far too difficult. After looking at a tutorial online I realised it wasn't actually too hard and was extremely pleased with the outcome.

I'd like to apologise for the messy picture, it was taken from my instagram.

I'm really happy with how it turned out and it definitely spiced up two normal nail colours. If you would like to recreate this look, the tutorial I used can be found here. 

I used the colours No7 stay perfect nail colour (shade unknown) and Essie (bikini so teeny).

MUA 3 in 1 Extreme Contour Eye Pen

Hello everyone

If you've been reading my blog for a while then you'll probably be aware of the fact that I love makeup from the brand MUA (Makeup Academy). Not only do they offer extremely affordable prices, generally their products are very good quality. 

Today I have a 3-1 extreme contour eye pen in 'black' to show you that only costs a mere £1.50. 

Personally I'm a girl who loves eye liners and use pencil/pen liners with every makeup look I create. I think that eye liner always adds something extra and therefore I'm always interested in trying new products.  

The idea of the 3 in 1 extreme contour eye pen is that it can be used in different ways due to the size of the end. You can use it to create thick or thinner lines as I have demonstrated in the picture below. 

Now for the actual product. I was actually surprised with how much of the actual products there is as I know that quite often with twist eye liners there isn't much product in them at all. The 3 in 1 contour pen is a dream to apply as it is extremely soft and transfers well. However, due to it being so soft it smudges very easily and I found that without using an eye primer it looked a bit of a mess (for £1.50, I don't really see this as a problem though). Due to it smudging easily it does however mean that it is very easy to work with especially when trying to create a smoky eye look.

As you can see from the swatches below, this definitely isn't a true black colour and as I'm a person who likes my eye liner to be very black I do find this an issue. However, this does layer very well which means it's not too much of an issue.

Overall this product is okay.  I wouldn't say I love it and it's definitely not the best MUA product I have tried. However, for the price its okay and I will use it and might try another colour to see if I like that any better.

You can buy the 3 in 1 extreme contour eye pen in Superdrug or online here.

Book Review: Easy by Tammara Webber

Hello!

You might not know this about me but there's nothing I enjoy more than losing myself in an amazing book and this book was definitely one of them.

This is one of those books that I can't really go into much detail about whilst reviewing as it will definitely spoil the book for you. Easy is basically a book about a college girl called Jacqueline as she struggles with different aspects of her life.

I absolutely adored the characters in this book which definitely made it more of an enjoyable read. Personally I feel as if Jacqueline is a character that many girls including myself can relate to and this definitely made it an easy read for me. 

Jacqueline's love interest is Lucas and he comes across as a very appealing boy (if you're like me, you'll love the fact that he's tattooed!) and I liked the fact that as a reader you're not really told much about him but you find out more as you go along. Easy is a story based upon romance, hurt, pain and betrayal and I absolutely adored it! I honestly couldn't recommend it enough.

Have you read this book? What is your favourite book?

MUA intense kisses lip gloss in 'Stolen Kisses'

Hey guys!

If you have read my post before last then you will know that I recently bought some MUA products and today's post I've decided to review one of them for you. The product I am going to be reviewing is an intense kisses lip gloss in 'stolen kisses'. 

When I was younger I used to wear lip glosses quite a lot but I actually hated them. I used to find that they were extremely sticky and too shiny and if there was even a bit of wind my hair was stuck to my lip and then covered in lip gloss (not my favourite look let me tell you). This meant that nowadays I steer clear of lip glosses and would much rather wear a lipstick. However, after seeing a great review on the intense kisses lip gloss in 'stolen kisses' I decided to give it a go as it looked truly beautiful and it only costs a mere £2.

As you can probably tell by the picture above, this lip gloss is extremely pigmented. Whilst on the lips it doesn't feel at all sticky and applies very evenly which I definitely think is brilliant. As for the packaging, because it only costs £2 I expected it to look rather cheap but in my opinion it actually looks quite nice. It has a wear time of around 3 hours which I think it good for a lip gloss, especially considering the price!

Overall I'm very impressed with this lip gloss and it has completely changed my opinion on lip glosses; I will definitely be on the look out for some of the other colours!

Have you tried this lip gloss?

Thanks for reading.
