Skin Care Review - GLAMGLOW ThirstyMud Hydrating Mask Review

Happy Sunday!!!

Hope you are all having a lovely relaxing Sunday :-)

So, I have been using this face mask since I got it in Sephora in the beginning of November and I am ADDICTED!!!

The GLAMGLOW masks are EVERYWHERE! I watch a lot of YouTube beauty guru's and they are always raving about these masks - so while I was in New York in October I picked a couple up.  

The first mask I used was the GLAMGLOW Thirsty Mud (or the blue one - if you identify them by colour like I do! haha!)

GLAMGLOW - Thirsty Mud

This face mask is supposed to deliver extreme hydration WITHOUT any Parabens, Sulphates or Phthalates! Woop woop!

This hydrating mask is packed with kind to skin ingredients, such as Coconut extract, Raw Honey, Apple fruit extract, Ginger root extract, Olive leaf powder, Oat bran extract - the list goes on!



The mask has a smooth consistency and smells DIVINE!

I love this mask, it does not dry and make your face tight like normal masks, you just apply a thin layer over your clean dry face and then after 10 - 15 mins, you just wipe the excess off (I use a cotton pad), then rub the remainder into your skin - I do not wash mine off!

I use this mask in the evening and then when I wake up in the morning my skin is still super soft, hydrated, smooth and luminous. I also like to use this face mask after I have done a mud mask (specifically the ones for breakouts as these can leave my skin so dry and tight). Obviously everyone's skin is different so I would recommend buying the smaller version to see how your skin reacts to the product (especially if you have oily, or sensitive skin) before making the splurge to the large size!

The only Con of this mask is the price though! I got mine from Sephora for $19 as I got the small size, the big size is a mega $69 - which is soooooo expensive! These are also available in the UK now at a number of different stores, I saw them on feelunique.com for around £49.99 which again I think is expensive for a face mask! But hey, I suppose as it works really well GLAMGLOW can wack a huge price tag on it! When my small one runs out I will defo get the larger size ... oh and probs the white one to ;-)

Make Up - LimeCrime 'Utopia' & MAC 'Magenta' Lip Liner

Hey guys,

I'm back!!!!

As some of you may know I went to New York a few weeks ago and LOVED IT! I just love the whole atmosphere of NY, the people are nice, there is so much good food to eat, so many good shops, and everything is much cheaper than here in London! ;-)

Today I am showing you guys the lip combo I have been loving lately...a few months back all I saw on Instagram was these LimeCrime Velvetine lip colours, that go on as a liquid and dry matte, so I hunted down any UK sellers to get my hands on them...


I got this shade 'Utopia' - a bright purple
 

So with matte lip colours I always use a lip liner to not only line my lips but to fill the whole damn thing in! Nobody wants that cracking look on their lips that matte lipsticks tend to leave...



LimeCrime 'Utopia'



LipCrime 'Utopia' & MAC lip liner 'Magenta' perfect match right?

Here is what I do...

Step 1 - I used my MAC lip liner in 'Magenta' (this was given to me in MAC to go with Heroine..but it matches the LimeCrime 'Utopia' shade perfectly!) I use the lip liner to line my lips first, then I fill in the whole lip.

Step 2 - I take my LimeCrime Velvetine and go over my lips with a thin coat, it goes on shiny so I give it a few seconds to dry and go completely matte.

Step 3 - For the ultimate all day staying power, I go over my lips lightly with my pressed powder, DO NOT USE A LOT OF POWDER, just a light brushing - then I repeat steps 1 & 2 again.

Trust me when I say these steps do not take long at all AND this lip combo will not budge! I did this in the morning and the colour lasted all day at work, and I'm talking it lasted through me drinking cups of tea, eating lunch and fruit, talking etc. It did not budge!

Let me know your favourite lip combos and how you apply them to make them last all day or all night ;-)
