I wouldn't be an official beauty blogger if i didn't have loads of products just waiting for me to use! In the last couple of months this little bundle has accumulated at the back of my wardrobe
(don't worry the masks have been cleaned out!)! This clearly isn't much considering but i just hate finishing products! Well here is my mini reviews;
Lush
Oatifix - This is one of the fresh face masks which means that they have to be kept in the fridge and only have a short life span of about four weeks! Its advertised as a mask for dry skin, containing loads of bananas and oats to hydrate. I used this mask in the chilly month of January when my skin was really dehydrated and it didn't do much for me. The product itself was actually really hard in the pot and when applied i felt that i had to really drag my skin before it turned oily on my skin. I tried warming it up in my hands for a few minuted but i still had the same outcome. When i washed this off I didn't feel or see much of a difference and so half of this product went in the bin!
My rate - 0/5
Mask Of Magnaminty - The only long life spanning at four months face mask that Lush do. Advertised as for those with acne. I tried this because I have suffered with acne since i was about 10. When applied it was rather cooling on the skin which i found relaxing and then my face began to tingle. I did like this however I think many people wouldn't! As there was quite a few chunks in this mask, removing it also doubled as an exfoliator however i found this too harsh for my skin and usually had to pick the bigger bits off first. I didn't see much difference in reducing my spots or even reducing the redness which is a shame.

Angels On Bare Skin - This is the most popular cleanser from Lush! I let me tell you, I can see why! This is a clay based cleanser which is said to be good for all different types of skin! You simply take a pea sized amount add some luke warm water, I then rub it together on my palm to make a paste like formula then pop it on my face like a mask. The product contains ground almonds which are perfect for giving slight exfoliation to even sensitive skins and when i take this off i really feel it working! My skin is baby soft and smooth! The one bad thing about it, is it gets everywhere! I tend to use this in the shower once every two days and this works well considering i have two empty tubs!

Tresemme Thermal Recovery Intense Repair And Rehydration Treatment Masque - What a long name! I bought this on a whim, not knowing much about the product at all. The mask made my hair silky smooth and more hydrated than usual but I still wasn't overly impressed. I don't think it repaired my hair in any way
(my hairs too gone for that) and just seemed like a good conditioner to be perfectly blunt about it.
My rate - 2/5
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara - Another product that i bought on a whim and yet i was really surprised. This is the first make-up product that i've tried by Soap & Glory and now i can't wait to try more! The mascara is thick but not clumpy and glides on my lashes. As for volume i didn't feel like they gave me much but they did make my lashes look longer and thicker! I also really likes how dark this mascara was, i don't know if i'm making this up
(tell me if you've experience the same) but it think its a more intense black than other mascaras that i've tried. However i felt that i used it up really quickly!

Studio Sculpt SPF15 Foundation - I'm in shade NC15. I wanted a good coverage foundation that would keep my skin hydrated during the winter and thats exactly what i got! When my skin is really dehydrated it tends to drink up any makeup that i'm wearing so i needed one which was thicker and hydrating to last the entire day. The foundation had a really nice gel like formula that i loved and the coverage was fantastic! My redness and most of my spots were covered giving me a good base to work with. I felt that this foundation really did last all day on me and only kind of separated really late at night which was fine as i took it off as soon as i got home
(most of the time). The colour match was good as well. The packaging was the best, i always got foundation over the tube and then it would transfer onto my drawers and onto other products in my make up bag
(messy messy).
My rate - 4/5
Pro Longwear Concealer - In shade NW20. i honestly don't know why i agreed to take this concealer in this shade! It was far to dark for my skin! The woman at the counter somehow talked me into talking it even though i always thought that your concealer should be slightly lighter than your foundation
(especially if used under the eyes) in order to brighten. Maybe i'm wrong but either way this was way too dark. The formula itself was really runny and not that great at covering spots and too dark for under the eye use. I actually ended up having to mix this with another foundation in order to make it thicker and lighter because i needed to use it up.

Bioderma Crealine H2O Micellaire Solution - I am sure i don't need to tell you much about this baby but i'd like to add my two cents in! This is fantastic for removing make up as you all know however i do feel that the smell is a bit acidy... if you know what i mean? I don't know, maybe I use too much but none the less i still love it!
Well ladies we have come to the sad ending of this Empties tale
I hope you enjoyed
Love you and leave you!
