Dead Sea Mud Mask Review

I was sent this product to try out and review. It is called 'Dead Sea Mud Mask' and I will leave a link at the end of the review so that you can check it out if you want to. If you are planning on trying it or have already used it please let me know what you think about it in the comments.


This product is good for the skin as it is 100% natural and contains a lot of minerals that are good for your skin. There is no scent but I personally prefer that as I moisturize my face after I use it, and my moisturizer is scented. The only thing that I didn't like about the product is the fact that it leaves your skin feeling really dry, due to the mask absorbing excess oils, dirt and toxins; but if you moisturize once you take it off your skin no longer feels dry and I found that you feel quite refreshed. The product is a dark grey colour and there is a lot of it. When I first saw what the price was for this product I thought that it was too much, but now I have tried it I have realised that it is worth the money. I don't have acne but it is said to reduce/get rid of it but I found that it gets rid of blackheads.

This mud mask leaves your skin feeling smooth and it is also simple to use. There are directions of use, ingredients, caution and about the mask written on the packaging. All you have to do is apply a thin layer to clean skin and leave it on for 10-15minutes or until dry and then wipe it off in circular motions with warm water. This product isn't just for your face, you can use it on your body as well. It is said to sooth and relieve muscle aches and pains; so I will definitely be trying it out on my body.

I would definitely purchase this item again and would recommend it for you.

Simple Skincare Products

First off I would like to start with a 'moisturising facial wash'. This product leaves my face feeling smooth and clean. To get the best results when using this product, you have to start by working a small amount into your hands. You then need to massage it onto wet skin and rinse with water. On the back of these products it does say how to use it so you can get the best results. It doesn't really have a scent which is good for people who don't like to use scented facial wash/moisturisers. This can be brought in stores such as Superdrug, but can also be ordered at simple.co.uk. This is a pearly coloured gel and feels soft on your skin when you massage it into your skin.


My next simple product is a 'smoothing facial scrub'. The difference between this one and the facial wash is that the scrub has bits in, this causes it to remove dead skin cells and helps to keep your skin brighter and more textured. You are meant to use this scrub once a week, unless you have oily skin then you'll need to use it twice a week. When I do use it I apply it before my facial wash. After I use this my skin feels really refreshed. To get the best results when using this product you need to, apply a small amount to your face and neck, making sure its damp and massage in circular motions with your fingertips; avoiding the eye area. You then have to rinse it off with plenty of water.

My last product is 'micellar cleansing wipes'. These are mainly used to remove makeup; this can include waterproof mascara,they get rid of impurities and it instantly hydrates your skin. These wipes gently cleanse and unclog pores. It has a resealable sticker so that the wipes don't dry out. To get the best results when using this product you need to, lift the resealable sticker and remove one wipe. You then gently wipe over your face and neck, to cleanse the skin. It is recommended that you use them in the morning and the evening. After you have used the wipes you need to make sure you reseal the packet properly to make sure they don't dry out. You get 25 wipes in a pack and can be used for any skin types including sensitive skin.

Most Used Lipsticks This Month


One of my favourite items of makeup is lipsticks, so I will share with you what my favourites have been this month.

The lipstick that I have used most this month is one that I got from Avon. It is in the colour 'Proper Pink'. If you are unable to buy it from Avon I think that you might be able to get it in a high street drugstore, like Boots or Superdrug. It is quite a creamy lipstick and moisturizes your lips. It is also quite long lasting. I would describe the colour to be a light pinkie-nude so is good if you are going for a natural make up look. When I wear this I tend to wear a bit of foundation, along with mascara and a brown or gold eye shadow. I think that this is a really nice lipstick for the summer as it is a light coloured lipstick.

 

I have also been loving a lip butter. This is a lip pen that is in the colour Vintage Rose and is said to have a 'soft and creamy texture that leaves lips feeling moisturised'. I agree that it leaves your lips moisturised but isn't really long lasting. I really like this product but I do have to keep applying it throughout the day.It is a Collection lipstick that I think is a really nice colour as it is a pink. I purchased this from Superdrug and would like to get more colours as they have a wide range.


 
I have a lip balm that I love to use as it moisturises your lips and it is also pigmented, so is good if you like to have a bit of colour on your lips. It is a Blistex one and is in a pink packaging. This lip balm has a really nice smell, it has a fruity smell and adds a reddish tint to your lips. I got this product from Superdrug and it lasts ages.

Perfume Galore


I have got a few perfumes on my shelf that really stand out to me as amazing. This includes my favourite one which is Storm Flower by Cheryl Cole. This one came in a set with a body wash. This perfume has a citrusy, sweet scent. it lasts all day and people always compliment it. I will definitely repurchase it and I would highly recommend it to you.
 

 My second favourite perfume at the moment is a Limited Collection one called Bohemia. The description for this one is ' An electric fragrant blend of lemon, blueberry and bergamot with floral heart notes of lily of the valley, mimosa and gardenia drying down to warm aromas of cedar wood, amber and vanilla'. This perfume smells nice for the whole day so you don't have to keep applying it. I have had many compliments whilst wearing this perfume. The packaging is also attractive and I would definitely recommend it.




The next one may be small compared to the others but has lasted me ages. This is one that I used loads when I first got it but forgot about. Since I have found it again I have used it so much. I got this one in a set from the body shop and it’s called ‘Neroli Jasmine’. It lasts ages and is one of my favourites. I would really recommend this one to you. The packaging is also nice which makes the product even better.



I am not as keen on the next one as in my opinion the scent isn't the best. It looks nice but the lid ruins the look a bit. It is called Mirella dreams. It may not be my cup of tea but you may find that it is a really nice perfume that you would purchase for everyday use or just for special occasions.

 
This last one is another one that I love and use a lot. I think that the packaging is nice and I think that the colours go well together. This one is called Riviera Goddess Body Mist. It lasts really long and I always get compliments when I am wearing it.


 


Please let me know in the comments of any perfumes that you like as I would like to try out some new ones.

Best Foundations


My favourite foundation has got to be the 'Maybelline New York Dream Satin liquid'. I like this one as it covers up all redness or spots that I may have on my face. I have got it in the shade ivory but there is a wide range of shades that you can get to suit your skin. My tip for putting this foundation on is to put a bit on your hand and dab it with the brush and carefully rub it in equally on your face. You need to make sure you rub it in properly, so it is equally spread across your face.

At the moment I have only got one other liquid foundation which I never use as I am not that keen on it. This is because when I apply it, it tends to make it look like I have got marks or blotches on my face, even if I try to rub it in a lot. This one is called 2 true Smooth Matte Foundation. The problem with this is that I got too dark a shade as I have got Shade 4. I might be able to make it work though if I mix it with a lighter shade.

The powder I use the most is the 'Maybelline New York', it is a pressed powder, number 120 in the shade, classic ivory. This is the perfect match for my skin and I love it. This one covers any smears that you may have from your concealer or liquid foundation.

I also really like a 'Colour Trend' foundation. This one is also a pressed powder and is also a really good match for my face. This foundation is in the shade ivory and is from Avon cosmetics. If you are only a beginner with makeup I would recommend this foundation as it is not too dark and doesn't make a massive difference to your face if you put it on with no other foundation.

Colour Trend


Revolution pressed powder is another new one that I use but not that often. This foundation I found left some light brownish marks on my face. The good thing with this one is that it has got a mirror on the back and a pad to apply it with.

Top 3 Mascaras


                                    
                                                               MUA- Lash Boom- £3.00
                                                        Make Up Gallery- Never Ending Story
                                                      Make Up Gallery- Plump Up the Volume
                                                       

Today I thought I'd share with you my 3 favourite mascaras from high street stores.

The first one is one that I have recently purchased from Superdrug, and it is the MUA Lash Boom. This is in the colour 'Ultra Black' and is for volume and length. It is really good and you can really see the difference to your lashes. The packaging is attractive and it is purple with silver writing on it, which causes this product stand out from others. I will definitely repurchase this product.


My second mascara is the 'Make Up Gallery Never Ending Story Lengthening Mascara'. This mascara lasts ages as you don't need to apply much to get a good result. I usually apply this after applying my 'Makeup Gallery Volumising Mascara' to give my lashes the full effect.


Last but not least is my 'Make Up Gallery Plump Up The Volume Mascara'. I use this most days but I don't usually apply this one on its own, I tend to apply another one on top. This is because I like to apply a volumising mascara with a  lengthening mascara. The packaging isn't the best as it is just black and white and doesn't have any colour.


I would love to know what mascaras you would recommend, so leave it in the comments along with other things that you would like me to write about on my blog.
