Monday the 10th November is the opening day for the pre-order list + they go on sale on the 17th. 

I think the price for the box is actually quite generous considering I can see at least 5 big beauty brands in that box so I would hopefully love to be able the chance of getting this special edition!

Blemish Face Mask - Montagne Jeunesse review

Hello lovely bloggers,

Today I am doing a review on my all time favorite skin masks brand - Montagne Jeunesse!
At the end of each week, I like to wind down and give my skin a break. In winter especially due too the harsh weather conditions against your skin! However I do believe that beautiful skin is from the inside, i.e. what you eat/drink if you smoke/drink etc they all have effects on our skin! So when I come home I don't wear any make-up, I only try and stick to work and going out with friends. 

I have tried pretty much all of the popular Montagne Jeunesse masks and it goes to show you it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg to have nice skin! I tried the blemish mask which I will list below this morning and I am going to go through exactly what I thought of it as a first time user and my experience with it...

Why this mask? 

I haven't tried this one before! Adding to that I obviously had reasons on buying it as I have dealt with a lot of blemishes recently due to stress and climate change etc... I also Love Aloe Vera on the skin and it has so many amazing benefits and it's a natural cooler which aids in skin care terms - reduces redness, inflammation, scars, burns and so on....

How did the mask sit on your skin?

Unlike the hot masks that Montagne have, this one sat very thick. It set very quickly even with maybe too much product and It did literally feel like I had cement on my face. I'd say it's a good job that you don't have to sit with this on your face for half an hour because I definitely struggled to eat my breakfast within 5 minutes of it on my face.

Would I buy this product again?

Of course! However I never buy the same ones between each skin prep. I always like to mix it up and not necessarily go for the pretty looking ones, just the ones that I feel suit my skin at the time. Sometimes I will deep cleanse every Sunday for 30 minutes and then sometimes I will just want a quick tea-tree 10 minute pick me up - it varies nicely! 

The process of the mask. You don't have to use an exfoiliating glove to remove the product just a flannel of some sort with luke warm water. I like to use the glove because when I do want too deep cleanse, exfoiliating is very important and it strips away gently the dull skin and revives new skin - so you may as well make the most of the whole face mask process! I also love exfoilating with the mask because my skin is super smoothe afterwards and it just feels very clean, refreshed and healthy! The first picture is no-make up and the brightness from the bathroom light and window. I am quite blessed in a way to not really have many skin problems - I just have like every other girl pesky little zits and redness which appear daily! 

When I have removed the whole product, I then apply VIC vapor gel to my face for 5 minutes. That really helps the skin breathe and just nicely finish the whole procedure - like I said, I don't do this all the time just weekly. Finally I remove the vip with a damp towl which is cold too close all the pores and dampen my face. 


I hope you enjoyed my super quick post, and try it for yourself! If you didn't know, you can buy these face masks in pretty much every supermarket, retailer and so on and they vary from 89p too £2 mark! 

Please feel free to share your thoughts, comments and problems as well - I am always more than delighted to engage conversation!

p.s: there has been no content taken from any website. Everything was written by myself. These articles take a good hour to write so therefore I would not waste my time false advertising products. If I have reviewed a product on request I will state that. However this will make no difference to my opinion. If the product is simply awful or just doesn't do it for me - I kindly decline the offer. If I have brought it myself, I will state my honest experience.

Beginners guide to applying False Eyelashes

Good afternoon bloggers, 

So Halloween has just slipped away and I must say I have seen some tutorials and make-up looks that words simply cannot describe! However, I have never applied eye lashes before not even for a night out as I never really have felt the need too. However I went out as a kitty cat on Friday night and I had the 'winged eyeliner and lashes' going on! From watching endless beauty tutorials, I was able too remember key tips which I have learnt and practiced. I am going too show you in easy detail how too successfully apply eyelashes - no tricky equipment, just simple hands or tweezer application if you wish.

1. I would recommend you apply any eye liner or eye shadow first simply because depending on the eyelash length - it will be a little tricky too apply those afterwards. Once you have a basic guide way of eye liner - you can easily disguise any gaps with more eyeliner. Always leave the lashes bare though until the lashes are applied, after applying the eye lashes - then blend your own eye lashes with the false ones.
2. Make sure before you put glue onto the lashes that you measure them with your own eyes. Sometimes you will find their too long at the end so simply just snip bit by bit off at the end until they meet your desired length. Secondly, always make sure the eyelash is placed on the closest eye lash too your nose, as you're going too be cutting away the outer lashes and I say bit by bit because you don't want too cut too much off - work on them bit by bit.
3. Once you have followed these two prep & prime steps what I would call them.. apply the glue too your false lashes. I recommend applying the glue first too the lashes and leaving them for 20-30 seconds so the glue is very sticky on the lashes. This is because I have noticed that when applying the glue and then straight away applying them that I can never get them too stick on and before you know it - you have ruined your eye-makeup! Yet everyone is too their own. 
4. Try and measure the lashes to your own before applying them because if you have set the glue it will be tricky to adjust them once they have been applied and you will end up with glue on your lashes and we don't want that! 
5. Hold the lashes even though they're sticky. Yes, they do have more chance of applying faster than applying them straight away - but they still need to be placed carefully.
6. Once you feel as if the lashes are comfortable in their places - I like to use a cotton bud or a tweezer too use the skin on my eyeball too gently press down on the eye lashes. Not too harshly because you will knock the lashes off. This just helps the skin blend in more with the lashes and I feel as if it worked great for me! 
7. More than usual for beginners its extremely frustrating at the beginning maybe and even for professionals because it's a bummer when you do all the eye prep and you only need one shaky hand too have that all ruined! Yet applying false eyelashes is incredibly fun I love all the quirky and crazy ones you can get these days and I would definitely consider wearing them more on nights out because they just enhance your eyes and they do look amazing! 

Too the left is my first attempt following all the tips and steps above. The right eye looks as if it's lost half the eyelash, but that was just the thickness of my eyeliner. This is extremely simple. I was pretty disappointed in my poor make-up for Halloween, however I have learnt some amazing skills and I hope to do better Christmas makeup! 

VICHY Idealia life serum & eyes review.

Hello everyone thank you for coming over too my blog today! Today I will be writing a review on VICHY Idealia products that I was sent in the post.

Okay first off... what is VICHY?
You're probably wondering who they are, what they do.. or you may not need to know as you already do! Vichy is an expert skin labatory who are spa based water, suitable for sensitive skin and their products hide no nasty Parabens.

BELOW IS PICTURES BEFORE AND AFTER:

Idealia life serum helps protect the appearance of skin and also to transform it. The skin is attacked every day by things we probably do not even realise.

Stress & late nights: a lust for partying then attending work the next day will definitely take toll in the feel of your skin and a greater-youthless appearance.

UV RAYS: premature skin aging is caused by exposure to UV rays causing wrinkles, dark spots and loss of firmness. Trust me, those sunbeds and excessive hours in the sun unprotected will catch up on you sooner than later!!

Environment: pollution & exposure to harsh & erratic seasonal weather changes will definitely make the skin feel dull, worn down and possibly puffy looking.

First of all - life serum tested:
complexion looks radiant? Definitely so. Not too mention the smell is PHENOMINAL! The serum didn't feel oily on my skin more like silk, it was very easy to blend and really did make my skin feel like a peach. I have sensitive skin and redness on the cheeks and the serum definitely was a sootheing factor covering the appearance of blemishes and dullness. It felt more like an illuminator or my Garnier BB cream because of the texture yet also, the serum actually is a light foundation colour.

Skin tone appears more even? I would have to give that a yes indeed. I think with the serum I just felt like I had a lot more to do with my male up because it did feel like a primer and my makeup did go on better to be honest however at the age of 18... my skin tone is pretty much okay though!

Pores look refined: I would also have to give that a yes because the only places I get any outbreak is around my nose or my chin and my pores definitely did look refined, it probably did help that beforehand I steamed my face as I am all bunged up so my pores were thoroughly cleaned beforehand 😊

Skin feels smoother: Most definitely I was absolutely amazed. I have oily/combination skin and therefore I am a person to stray from moisturising products etc. Yet this serum just felt like a gods send. My skin was so soft, smelt out of this world and it also helped with my very late night and lack of sleep coverage!!!

Second of all: Idealia eyes:

Reduces the look of fine lines/ leaves eye contour feeling softer, hydrated & more supple: even though I am 18, I do obviously have sleepless nights and stress on my plate so my eyes tend too look very puffy every morning unless I get a good night's sleep. The serum for the eyes more a less made my eyes feel more hydrated, not as tight around the outer eye socket and they made my eyes feel as if I had been sat with cucumber slices over them!

Please note: I would never fake a good review on my blog because It is linked too my primary tumblr with a tonne of great followers and I wouldn't want too risk losing their trust or getting a bad name for myself as a blogger. All my answers are from personal experience with the products and please everyone must remember that different people react differently to the same products because usually they have a different skin type.

Thank you so much for reading again, I am honestly over the moon that I have found a serum that is Clinically proven efficacy. Please check out VICHY guys on Twitter, Facebook and their website today:

Tiny Tea Detox - Yourtea

Why this product?
I have recently purchased this product after reading so many positive reviews. It takes me a lot of time to buy something off the internet because no one wants to buy something that isn't going to deliver the goods, right? The product is made of natural herbs as well so it's an all round natural product that won't harm the body. It wasn't just the reviews that caught my eye though. After a long week of a sleeping pattern that doesn't seem to exist, regular bloating and uncomfortable moments.. I realized I wasn't treating my body right & something needed to gain re balance. I also have a holiday in 7 weeks so I'm really trying hard to hit the gym and eat as healthy as I can! 

Will I lose weight? 
It's really important to not compare yourself to others when trying to lose weight. This is because everyone has to take in different fat mass, height, muscle etc... Therefore tiny tea is NOT going to make you lose weight on it's own. The tea contains a Senna Leaf as an ingredient. This has a colon-cleansing effect which flushes out the system. It's pretty much what you need to flush out bad toxins, re-balance your happy digestion levels & regain any upset your stomach has been dealing with. This tea is a cleansing medicine & If you decide to eat healthy aside the tea, stay active and true to what you're eating.. you're bound to see a few inches melt away, a glow in the skin & more energy levels. 

What are the supposed side effects?
At first after the second or third day, you're usually expected to feel some side effects such as mild stomach ache or nausea.. it's not pleasant, but that's when you know this is working! When you see the progress pictures of some women, don't believe that they are fake just because I quoted it's not going to shift the weight for you. Sometimes the extra pounds you want to lose is excess water weight which can be retained by alcohol, smoking, junk food, dehydration, processed meats and so on... So therefore tiny tea assists in giving your body a good flush out. Tiny Tea offers a 14 day detox, which is the one I have ordered & they do a 48 day one I think as well. I will be hoping to write a full review on my experience with the tea when it arrives because I'm going off the facts I've been told when I received my confirmation email.

Here are some amazing transformations

Mariita's instagram caption is really ideal to actually put into thought. It can assist you very well if you choose to work alongside the tea. It's like going to the gym working really hard, then every day/night having the same takeaway or processed food. Remember the tea is showing signs that your digestion isn't up to scratch, therefore feed yourself goodness whilst on the tea to get the full benefits!
