Mudd Peel-off Mask Review

Mudd's masks are available in 1,5 or 10 application packs, costing 99p/£1, £3.05 and £4.99 respectively. I was sent a selection to trial and I tried this particular one first as it said "gentle-cleansing" on the packaging.

This mask has extracts of ginseng, natural lemon peel, grapefruit and cucumber AHAs all which help to cleanse and exfoliate. Skin should feel softer and smoother as dead layer of skin is peeled away. It does contain parabens. I was sent a 1 application of this particular one so I have only trialed it once, therefore my opinion may not be adequate...

Application was ok, it was difficult to open the package so that more than just a tiny opening could be used to get to the mask, so I used the trusty old scissors to do that. Initially it felt quite sticky on the skin and didn't glide on as well, but once some was on it was much easier.

After the recommended 10-15 minutes there were still wet patches on my cheeks so I didn't peel it off as it would come off in parts. After about 20 minutes I peeled it off even though there were tiny wet parts. It took a while to peel off and I rinsed my face with water as some bits would just not come off!

My skin looked cleaner and felt cleaner, not really softer or smoother. It didn't have much of an effect apart from cleansing I think.

I would not repurchase this mask, as I feel there are others out there which do make my skin feel softer and smoother, generally evening out my skintone a little too.

Review: Dead Sea Spa Magik Salt Brushing

This is a body exfoliator essentially, but packed with good stuff for the skin! Available on Feel Unique's website here and currently on sale for £11.97 I would say it is worth every penny. It contains coconut oil and vitamin E - both which are known to be great for the skin. It is a harsh, strong scrub so if that's not your thing this may not be for you.

You use it on dry skin and rub and scrub, I genuinely feel like this has had a positive effect on my skin. It feels quite harsh so you do have to use as much pressure as is comfortable for you. I feel energised after using this in the shower. Do be aware though that due to it's moisturising ingredients it can make your shower or bathtub very slippery so be careful!

It does not contain any parabens which is another plus point. In all honesty, I can't actually think of any negatives for this product, aside from its large non-travel friendly size, although if it's at home in the bath or shower it's not such a big deal. I would expect this to be amazing for all you self-tanners out there, as I try to avoid tanning at all costs I can't verify that though!

I would give this product a 9/10, one mark less as it is quite intense and I certainly wouldn't suggest using it everyday. Will I be repurchasing/getting one again? Yes, most definitely as soon as all my other exfoliators run out!

Thank you for reading! :)

P.S Please excuse my blogging if it's not quite up to scratch I'm just getting back into it all!

Introducing: Skin Heroes! by Montagne Jeunesse

Source

This is the new range by Montagne Jeunesse to help target all those little skin issues. From what I've understood they're primarily designed for problem skin (which I have, along with it being combination). I was sent the entire range (depicted above) by the lovely people at Montagne Jeunesse and will be reviewing the lot very soon. I've used one so far and I loved it.

So what's in the range?

All of the skin heroes range, aside from the nose strips have a 2-stage system, the mask and a corresponding moisturiser. They all have various individual ingredients which help the purpose they're for. I will discuss this further in each individual review post, and all reviews will be linked here.

Montagne Jeunesse are completely cruelty-free, BUAV and PETA approved. Suitable for vegetarians and some products are suitable for vegans too. These are currently available at Asda or you can do what I did and find their skincare products here.

Please look out for my reviews in the coming weeks!

Have you tried any of these yet?

Mystery Parcels

After talking to my friend on twitter, she came up with this idea and I've modified it a little. Basically, seeing as I have an excess of beauty products that I no longer need or want, I'm going to package them up into jiffy bags and post them out to whoever wants them.

This is how it'll work:

- I will charge £7 for each mystery package inc p&p
- Each package's contents will value at over £7, although some may be used/swatched or brand new (a mixture but at the moment, I have brand new and swatched products)
- Each package will contain 3-10 items
- I will not accept returns

At the moment I have packaged together 5 parcels, if you'd be interested in this concept or would like to make a purchase right away please let me know in the comments below!

To make it easier for me to package though please leave your preferences in products in your comment, i.e shades you prefer of each cosmetic and skintone if you're ok leaving it!

Please feel free to leave pointers or any constructive criticism too!
