[beauty review] Skinfood Apple Can Blusher

A few of my friends have asked about my blusher so here it is! Trust me you will love it!

Apple Can Multi-Blusher from Skinfood 4

Cute puff inside. With mirror.

How to use
Use the powder puff and rub it in the blusher a few times before dabbing it on the apple of your cheeks
Always sweep your blusher up towards your temples-i use this technique and found that it's really awesome.

Brush vs puff?
I don't know why some people argue that a brush is more precise-i feel like my puff distributes the blusher equally. I used to use a brush and was a bit skeptical about the puff at first, but i'm loving it now!(: my blusher brushes have retired:/

Before blusher

After blusher

Looks more obvious in real life actually.
Boyfriend loves my blusher-and he's normally pretty indifferent.
Another makeup product which he really likes (and many people have asked me what foundation i'm using) is Sisley's Phyto Teint Eclat. smells good, applies easily, looks perfect(:

[beauty review] Lush's fresh face mask: Catastrophe Cosmetic

Lush's Catastrophe Cosmetic



For days when you are like 'OMG MY FACE LOOKS LIKE SHIT HELLPPPP'
'I need something to calm it down NOW!'

Ingredient list!
What each of the ingredients do [from Lush.com]:
"Irish moss gel will soften the skin, whilst almond oil will moisturise and leave it supple.

Fresh blueberries are full of vitamins and minerals and are anitoxidant. Rose absolute and chamomile essential oil will reduce redness and irritation. Calamine and talc will deep clean and soothe the skin at the same time.Combined together they provide your skin with a good deep cleanse without causing puffiness – leaving the face cool, clear and calm. 

This is a deep cleansing mask that it designed for regular maintenance to keep the skin clean and clear. Regular deep cleaning can avoid spots occurring and keep skin in top condition."

How to use

Love

I like how this mask makes my pimples look less angry after use.

My face looks smoother and brighter and it really has that calming effect.

I don't really know about the blueberry anti-oxidant effect..I honestly think it's hard to tell/prove that it actually works for this.

Good mask for soothing and calming-but not too amazing. It's not a must-have. It's more of a if-I-have-spare-cash or if-i-have-really-angry-pimples type of purchase

Rating: 7/10

Price: 5.95 pounds!

Lush's Mask of Magnaminty

(taken from lush.com)

I think if you asked me what my favourite mask for blemishes is, it would be this.

As printed on the cover,

Lush's Mask of Magnaminty is meant for outbreaks and all those annoying pimples/blackheads/little pimple-wannabes!

Ingredients:

Function of the various ingredients:(taken from Lush's website but i summarised it)

A combination of bentonite gel, talc, kaolin and vegetable glycerine - to enable you to gently smooth this over your face and get great coverage, good for sensitive skin

Ground aduki beans and evening primrose seeds - gently scrubbing your face to get rid of any dead skin. 

Honey - moisturise, antiseptic. 

Peppermint oil to stimulate the blood and give a cool feeling

Marigold oil and chlorophyllin to help treat the skin.

Can be used on both the face and back during times of trouble – or just as a regular maintenance routine.

Simple instructions: Apply, leave on for 5-10 minutes (i usually wait for it to dry-it becomes sort of stiff when it dries), scrub off with warm water.

Before washing it off, i take some water and massage the mask on my face for a few minutes to exfoliate my skin with the ground aduki beans inside. 

Comes in 125g and 315g tubs.

As with all Lush products, this can last for 6 months and the size would depend on how often you intend to use it. I have only bought the small tub so far and it can last at least 25-30 applications.

Love it because...

It really helps my blemishes alot! It's the most effective mask that deep cleanses my skin and leaves it feeling brighter, smoother and squeaky clean. My face feels 'purified' after. Like the cooling effect of the peppermint too-feels refreshing after a long, tiring day. Might be abit stinging if you're using it for the first time.

Brighter, Cleaner, Smoother and blemishes much calmed and definitely less obvious than before(:

Love this. definitely a 9/10.
