Herbalife Skin

When it comes to skin care, I love to try out new products but I do tend to stick to what I know. My skin care routine consists of a day cream, a night cream, a cleanser, toner and a face mask and that is about it, I like to keep it simple really. I was recently contacted by Herbalife to see if I would like to give some of their skin care products a go. Always up for a challenge I of-course said yes, having heard only good things about Herbalife before.

I have been using the Herbalife Skin Protective Moisturiser, Replenishing Night Cream and Purifying Mint Clay Mask in my usual routine, but Herbalife do have a full line of skin care products including cleansers, toners, eye cream and scrubs, as well as a one week results kit , which includes pretty much everything you need skincare-wise for seven days.

The moisturiser has been what I use first on a morning, I haven't really noticed too much difference from using this product compared to the moisturiser I was using before. It does leave my skin feeling smooth and hydrated, and is also SPF 30 which is great for the warmer Months in the Year to keep your skin protected.
The night cream has been great applying just before bed. It sinks well into the skin without feeling too heavy or greasy on the skin. I wake up with great skin and my face feels soft and super moisturised, I would definitely recommend this night cream to pretty much anyone.

My favourite product out of the three has to be the Mint Clay Mask. I love a good face mask, so they are always a product I look the most forward to trying out. Herbalife claim that this clay mask improves the appearance of pores after just one use, which is a pretty big claim so I was interested to see how I got on with it. Having been using it for a good few Weeks now, I have to say my skin has improved and I think it is thanks to this product. This leaves my skin feeling soft and the pores on my skin don't look quite as noticeable anymore, which is great!

Overall I am pretty impressed with the products I have tried. Have you tried any Herbalife products?

Lovea Pink Clay Face Mask

Are you looking for a new face mask? Do you suffer from sensitive skin? Are you a fan of natural products? If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, then this blog post may be of interest to you.

Lovea are a brand I have featured on my blog several times before. As you may know, I have reviewed some of their products on behalf of MyPure; an online store that stock all natural beauty products, which I definitely recommend you check out! This Month my skin has been suffering a little and was in need of some TLC, so a pamper evening was long overdue. I love a face mask and usually apply a face mask once or twice a fortnight when I am having a bad skin day or if I am having a relaxing evening. I opted for Lovea's Pink Clay Mask. Lovea state that clay has been 'used for centuries to purify the skin and remove toxins. Under a microscope clay looks like a giant porous sponge, it attracts toxins and then binds them deep inside the clay ready to be rinsed off the skin'. Lovea stock three different clay masks to suit different skin types, I opted for the pink clay mask as this is for sensitive skin. 

To use, you simply apply a layer onto your face and then remove five minutes later with water. The mask does dry quickly and smells pleasant. The results were that the face mask made my face feel smooth and clear, as well as feeling quite refreshed. I have used this face mask around four to five times now and so far so good! I would probably purchase this in the future as I think it is a reasonably priced product; considering Lovea is natural beauty brand, I think that is pretty good.

The Lovea Pink Clay Mask is available to buy online at MyPure and is currently priced at £6.99.

An Introduction to Ponds Institute Skin Care

Pond Institute has been around since the 1840's, when the first Pond's Store opened in New York. Pond's Institiute is one of the first skin care brands to use hazel extract in their skin cream products, which has amazing soothing and reparative benefits. Their skin care products were loved and used by women all over the World - which shows their products are of a fantastic quality as they are still used and loved today! 

I have previously used the Ponds Institute  Cold Cream* - it is a fantastic multi-use product. It can be used as a nourishing face mask, an eye make-up remover and also, of-course a gentle cleanser. I love using it as a cleanser as it is really refreshing and feels great on the skin. I have been trying it out as a face mask and eye - make up remover too, and it does a grand job with both of those! It helps to remove heavy eye - make up softly and it is a really gentle cream so doesn't sting the skin and leaves it feeling as fresh as a daisy.

The Ponds Institute Eye Contour Cream* was a new product for me. I was excited to start using this as my under eyes really did need a good pampering and I hate my large dark circles. I apply just a small amount every Morning and Night to my under eyes, and this Contour Cream helps to reduce puffiness and calms and nourishes the skin. I must admit, in the very warm Days we have been having in the UK recently, the eye contour cream has been my go - to product as I also suffer from hay fever - my eyes constantly sting and water in the Warmer Months so this product has been a really good product for me.

The Cold Cream and the Eye Contour Cream are both part of the essentials collection, which are available to buy from Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Sainsbury's and  TheHealthCounter.com.

Montagne Jeunesse White Chocolate Ultra Deep Cleansing Masque

I am a big fan of the Montagne Jeunesse face masks. I have been using them for well over 10 years now, and they are still a firm favourite. They are so affordable, costing an average of £1 depending on where you buy them from. I usually buy mine from my local ASDA store, but they are available in most supermarkets and other stores. I tend to get two uses out of the sachets, so they are really great value for money, especially if you are unsure you are going to like the scent or the effects of a face mask, it is a great way to try small sachets to see if you like it, before buying a tub or bottle.

This White Chocolate Ultra Deep Cleansing Masque is a repurchase, I have tried this one a few times. It smells amazing, quite subtle, but the scent is similar to cocoa, which is quite pleasant. To use this masque, you simply apply it onto your cleansed face, then leave it on the skin for around 15 minutes, then rinse off. 

After using this masque my face felt really refreshed. I did look a little puffy but my skin felt extremely soft. I would repurchase this again, as I do really like it, but I will probably try a different scent next time.

Mini reviews: Aussie, Boots, Accessorize

There are a lot of products I neglect to feature on my blog. This is usually because they are small products or sample sizes which I feel I can't review in full due to the size of the product, or am not sure whether my readers would be interested in a full feature blog post on that one product. I have decided to start a series of mini review posts; where I will feature products that I wouldn't write a full blog post about and I will share my thoughts with you all. 

Today, I will be telling you my thoughts about a face mask from Boots, a hair treatment from Aussie and an eye shadow from Accessorize.

 

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment

I really liked using the sachet sample. My hair is coloured so it tends to feel quite dull, lifeless, and off course, damaged. This gave my hair a lift and it smells gorgeous. I only had two uses out of this, so I can't really give a full review of it, but it is a decent treatment product. 

Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask

I hadn't tried this peel off face mask before, and I really enjoyed using it. My skin felt refreshed and it really woke me up the Morning after I had applied it. I could feel the benefits of the Tea Tree, my skin felt a lot softer. I would probably repurchase this in the future as I was really impressed with it. 

Accessorize Merged Eye Shadow in Golden Brown

I have had this eye shadow in my stash for some time now, but always neglect it for my bigger palettes. I have been using it a lot more lately, and have come to the conclusion that it is an average product. It isn't amazing but it isn't awful either. The pigmentation is great, but it creases after a few hours and you get a lot of fall out when using it. 

Have you tried any of these products?

Montagne Jeunesse New Blackcurrant Burst Peel Off

Montagne Jeunesse

New Pressed Blackcurrants

Blackcurrant Burst Peel Off

It is always a real treat using a face mask. For me, there is nothing better than Montagne Jeunesse face masks, as they are so ridiculously affordable and you can pick them up from pretty much anywhere! The sachets cost around £1 and I can usually get one or two uses out of one sachet, which is great value for money. Montagne Jeunesse is a brand I have always repurchased, I even remember my little sleepovers and girly nights in with my friends and my sister where we would use these face masks! 

To use the peel - off masque, you simply wash your face and pat it dry, then apply the product evenly over your face and neck. After leaving the product on for 15-20 minutes, you then gently peel it off, and wash your face again and pat dry. 

The masque smells very fruity and refreshing! After peeling it off, my skin felt smooth, baby soft and I felt wide awake! I always find after using these that my skin is left feeling refreshed, moisturised, and glowing. 

I love a mid week face mask treat, and this Blackcurrant Burst Peel Off did just the job!

Apivita Face Mask With Pomegranate

Apivita Face Mask With Pomegranate*

After kindly being given this gorgeous face mask back in April, I thought it was about time to give it the credit it is worth!

This isn't much of a review today, as it is pretty much self explanatory as a face mask. I just wanted to raise awareness to other face mask worshippers, that this is out there as it is a really great product.

As you can imagine, it smells divine - just like fresh pomegranate. Apivita promise that they "replace water in the face mask range with green tea infusion to enhance the antioxidant action of the products." - which to you and me, that basically means it is much better for your skin!

I leave the face mask on my skin for about 10 minutes before rinsing away with water.

After removing the face mask my skin is left feeling soft and very moisturised.

I use this once a fortnight, I feel it gives my skin a good lift when it is looking dull.

You can find this product on their website here .

You can purchase the product from Marks and Spencers online here for £13.

Dirty Works Blemish Buster Face Mask

Dirty Works Blemish Buster

2 - in - 1 Scrub and Mask

Hi everyone, today I am going to introduce you to a product I have been loving recently. I find it really hard to fully review a product like this, as we all have different skin and a face mask is basically... a face mask. I just wanted to make you aware of how fab it has been for me!

I love a good face mask. I have been using this Dirty Works Blemish Buster as a face mask once a fortnight for a while now and it lasts really well. It can also be used as a daily face scrub, which is great but I prefer it as a face mask. It is really refreshing after use and my skin feels very supple and soft. I have noticed my skin's natural blemishes calm down a lot after I use this product, which is a relief!

You may have trouble finding this product as I can't seem to find it on the interwebs, but Dirty Works products are stocked in Sainsburys stores across the Country.

Have you tried any Dirty Works products before?
