Skin Truth Equalising Mud Mask

I was at the hair and beauty suppliers recently and had a browse around the skin care products. As you may know I'm absolutely obsessed with face masks. I'm pretty sure it had to do with not being able to use them until the last few years that I'm making up for lost time. This mask is for oily /combination skin which is me. There was a few but in the end I thought this would suit me a little better. It cost about €10 when using their trade card, I don't actually have one of those cards as I'm not a hairdresser or beauty therapist but was with someone else that day who does have a card so they could get it for me. 

The mask itself smells really nice which is probably down to the orange blossom and ginger and reminds me of a cleanser that my sister used when she was in college and would practice facials on me  The Tub is pretty big at 225ml and I hardly made a dent on it when I used it. The mask says it is "enriched with dead sea mud to purify complexion by removing impurity's and excess oil whilst extracts of Orange blossom and Ginger promote balance and revitalise skin tone" which all sounds great to me, basically anything that says it will remove impurity's or revitalise skin tone I'm sold on. 

The directions are the usual apply after cleansing, leave for 10 -15 minutes, remove with water and sponge and your done. All sounds great and easy and nothing that takes much effort. I like products like that it usually means I'm more likely to keep up the routine of using it because it can easily be put on while watching the soaps and washed off during the ad break. I'm bad for remembering how long I've had masks on for so I usually do it during soaps so I remember when the ads come on to wash it off. I can't be the only one who does this surely there's someone else that times thing by tv programs lol. 

Anyway back to the mask. I used it as directed and washed it off also as it said to and the results where pretty good. I don't usually blog about products that I don't like because I couldn't be bothered putting the effort into it if I din't like it. For days after using this mask my face felt super soft as if the dry patches had disappeared and the oily parts of my face felt the same as the rest of my face. It was like my skin was all one type and not mix and match of oily and dry like it usually is. My make up has went on so well for those few days and stayed on too no cracking and sliding even when I didn't use a primer. It did make my skin a little clearer but not all the dramatically noticeable but I didn't really are about that when my skin felt so soft and smooth and just healthy looking if that makes sense. 

If anyone has oily or combination skin like I have and is looking for a good mask I would recommend giving this one a go. It can be bought with out a trade card also but for a few more euros. I think it might have been about €15 and I got it in Salon Services. I didn't really know much of this brand before but that's probably because it's a profession brand but they have a huge range of products I didn't know about. After I used the mask I goggled the brand to see what else they did I might even try one of their cleansers. 

June Favourites

Glam Glow Supermud

I love this mud and I love what it's doing to my skin. My skin has been terrible the past few months and I was dying to try this so when I saw it last month I jumped at the chance of buying it. I use it weekly now and my skin is looking brighter, less clogged up and my pores are finally looking more like I want them to. I thought I would only get a few masks out of it because the jar is so small but it's not like that at all. For one you only need a thin layer and then there's the fact that it spreads really easy so you don't have to use chunks of it at a time. For a product that the price kept putting me off of I'm actually fine with the price now because I'm getting so much out of it. I have done a review of this at the start of June which you can have a read of here.

Fuschia Dramatise Eyeshadow Palette

This palette is great. The shadows are soft and blend really well together. They don't effect my skin at all which is usually why I don't wear eye shadows daily. The packaging is nice a neat with a mirror inside which I love. I have a review of this coming soon so keep an eye out for it.

Victoria's Secret Bombshells in Bloom Body mist

I've had this spray since November and loved wearing it on hot sunny days in Australia but when I came home it was cold and didn't feel the same. It's such a floral smell with notes of pink freesia, red apple and water lily. But now the weathers has got better I've started to love it all over again and going through it like crazy. Seriously I'm actually counting down the days until my Mam and Sister head over to Scotland this month so they can get me some more in the Airport. Iv'e mad them promise and making a list for them too, I want everything with this smell lol.

Botanics Radiance Balm All Bright

I bought this in Boots a couple of weeks ago now. The first time I used it I love it. It leaves my skin almost glowing and even after putting foundation on it still has a lovely brightness to it. It really lasts under foundation all day and just gives me this nice glow that I think makes my skin look healthy and less dull. I love it and it was under €5 for a 50ml tube which I think might last forever so were can you go wrong. I really recommend this to anyone who wants to brighten up their everyday makeup. 

Thanks for reading.
