Recently I've gone a little face mask crazy! As my skin has not been looking its greatest, I've been trying different face masks in hope to sort it out, whilst having a bit of a pamper!

So here's the lowdown on some of the masks I've been trying...

 Another green mask I have is from Lush. It's the Love Lettuce mask which is one of their fresh face masks which you keep it in the fridge - so it's always cool when you apply it and I have a feeling it also has an expiry date, which is something to be aware of. You can tell from the texture and the smell this is an all-natural mask, which honestly, I both like and dislike. The texture of it is quite lumpy and grainy so it doesn't feel all that nice to put onto your skin, I also dislike the scent - some people, however, seem to really like the scent. I love that it contains very few ingredients (11 to be exact) so I can be aware of exactly what I'm putting on my face, The skin again tightens as the mask dries. When you wash the mask off it feels quite exfoliating, and it leaves the skin feeling much fresher, and looking less dull. This one is priced at £6.95 - so the cheapest of the lot so far - it's worth the cost, but I'm definitely interested in trying the other Lush fresh face masks to see if they've got anything to target the dryness in my skin (and recommendation would be great!)

I have two sheet masks which I've used recently. The first I've heard quite a lot about before I used it, so I had some expectation. It's the Garnier Moisture Bomb tissue mask. This literally does what it says. It gives you a surge of moisture which is great (especially when you've got skin like mine) but I do find it's a bit of a pain in the ass to put on and isn't really comfortable to wear. This is also only £1, and you can get it in pretty much any Boots or Superdrug, so it's a good one to pick up if your skin is feeling particularly dry. I also like that you can just do it as a one-off, whereas a lot of masks are to be done 2-3 times a week. This mask did live up to my expectations - I just would have liked it to have felt a better fit on my face.


Lastly, I have the Cat Nip Sheet Mask by Nails Inc. I really enjoyed using this mask -it feels as though it both moisturises and nourishes your skin. It's also a better fit and more comfortable to wear than the Garnier mask - it was, however, more expensive at £5, it's pricey for sheet masks - but it seemed to make my skin look more alive. The actually mask has a cat on it too which is pretty cute. It did leave quite a lot of residue on my skin after use, so I spent a while attempting to rub it all in.

Recently I popped to Lush and ended up picking up a few more bits than I'd expected.
I went to the Lush in Bristol Cribbs Causeway, and the girl there was so lovely and helpful, I couldn't myself when it came to spending on some of the things she recommended.

Of course, going to Lush I had to get myself a few bath bombs, as you can see  I got some different bath bombs and bubble bars. Firstly I picked up a Twilight bath bomb, as I thought it would be the perfect treat to relax in a bath before bed. I have already used this one. It created the prettiest lavenders smelling, which was super relaxing - I even found the swirls of pastel pinks in a blues in my bath relaxing to watch. It is definitely one for before bed though.

I also got the Big Blue bath bomb, unlike the Twilight bath bomb I had never heard of this one before, so did not know what to expect. However the lady at the till told me it's great when you've got a hangover - and apparently, I'm pretty easy to sell to, because hearing that I quickly popped one in my basket.

Once again I have already used this one (and no, I didn't wait until I was hungover to give it a try, so can't really say if she was right). I liked it, it turned my bath blue, and the centre was filled with seaweed! I smell lovely and relaxing and my skin felt great after, however, I found it to be quite messy - I have to clean seaweed from the bath afterwards. Also unlike the Twilight bath bomb, it wasn't so pretty to look at. I'm glad I tried that one, and I enjoyed using it, but if I'm honest I won't be rushing to get that one again!

I went back to an old favourite bubble bar and got myself the Amandopondo bubble bar, which I'm sad to say on my shopping trip the lady told me they were discontinuing but I did write a blog post on this one a while back which you can find here, if you want to get hold of one, I'd pop to Lush ASAP before they're all gone.

As well as all the bath bits I got myself the Sea Salt face and body scrub and the Dirty styling cream.

If you read this blog post, you'll know I recently purchased the Lush Amandopondo bubble bar after feeling down, stressed and in need of a pamper.



I am so pleased with the buy I thought I would let my little blog know!

I have very sensitive skins, so although I have used Lush products many times before, I always feel cautious when trying out the new bath, shower or skincare products and find myself using minimal quantities of products (especially scented products) just in case it causing any irritation to my skin, on the plus side, all products I buy last ages!





I found despite using a minimal amount of the bubble bar, my bath was filled with bubbles and the scent was so fresh and relaxing - it's sweet without being sickly and overpowering which I find with a lot of sweeter scents. I actually love the scent so much I've found myself researching the ingredients to see if I can find a candle containing similar things which will hopefully give off the same sort of smell (Lush need to get a range of candles).

I will definitely be picking up one of these next time I am in Lush, I have had the perfect relaxing bath, got a few uses out of it, and the price wouldn't break the bank either!
