5 Minute Thermal Detox mask

What they say
The warmth of this self-heating mask helps to open up the pores so the charcoal and kaolin clay can help draw out the impurities from deep within the skin. As well as purifying, the mask also rebalances the skin’s oil levels to clarify, cleanse and leave skin with a silky touch, essential oil of myrrh helps soothe and calm.

Does it work?
I really like this mask. Its great if you are in a hurry as it only takes five minutes.
As soon as you apply it you can feel it warming up and it feels like it is really working.
It is quite thick, but you only need a thin layer.

I have been using this for 2 weeks and I have seen improvement in my skin. I leave it on for five minutes. I apply this after having a bath as my pores are then open and I feel this makes it work better.

This did not irritate my skin at all and left it feeling soft and cleansed.
This normally costs £9.99.

You can also get this in a 15ml sachet for £1.99

I give this a 9/10

Treacle Moon That Vanilla Moment Body Scrub

I picked this up in Tesco about 3 weeks ago as it was on offer for £2 ish and I needed a new body scrub. They only had the Vanilla one in my Tesco which is annoying as since looking at their website Ive seen they do many other smells..like Raspberry and coconut.
Here is the website..... They do a lot of different products lip balms,body butter etc.

That Vanilla Moment Body Scrub

Smelt this in the shop before I brought it smells of ice cream :)



This has a creamy texture with small black bits that are for exfoliating your skin.
I did notice once you start using this the smell is quite sickly compared to how it smells in the tube. Also the smells doesn't linger on your skin for long either. Can be a good or bad thing? A good thing with this product. But if I liked the smell I would want the smell to last on my skin a lot longer.

In terms of how it exfoliates it's okay.I have used other scrubs that are a lot better.
My skin feels smooth but it doesnt feel nourished.
Would be a lot better if it was more moisturising.

Overall, for £2 it is okay, But I will not repurchase again.
I will try the other products they have in the range but not any of the Vanilla smelling products.

4/10

Products costing just £1 at discount stores are the SAME as those sold at Boots for up to £8.

I was reading The Sun newspaper when I came across this article.
Here

I know I would rather pay £1 for this then what Boots charge.
It is exactly the same product but with a different label stuck over the boots one.
It makes me think how many other companies actually do this?

Revlon vital radiance primers

I don't think I have seen this range in the shops Boots etc, but I brought mine from Ebay..Yes they were all brand new,carded and cheap! You can also find this range in T.J Hughes.

I have been looking for some good primers for some time,when I saw this make up by Revlon.

Smoothing face primer
This comes in two shades Apricot warm for olive and darker skin tones and petal cool for fairer,pink skin tone. Depending on what skin type you have. I am cool skinned with pink tones so went with the Petal cool.I got this from Ebay for about £3.50 for 30ml.



What I love about this:

• Oil free
• Contains SPF 25
• Helps minimize pores
  
• keeps foundation in place for longer.
• Evens skin tone
  

I apply this about ten minutes after my moisturiser and wait another 5 minutes before applying my foundation, I have found that this really does help the over look of my skin. The fact that it is oil free is great as my skin can at times be oily. It does help my foundation last longer and go on a lot smoother. It has a creamy texture a lot like foundation,you do need to make sure that it is rubbed in well.

I love the fact it contains SPF 25, as I worry a lot about sun damage, especially on the face as the sun can cause wrinkles..!

Tip: Blend equal amounts of primer and foundation in your hand, then apply like normal for sheer, luminous coverage.

Smoothing Lip Primer
I have never used a lip primer before, I normally use my Dove lip care to look after my lips.I paid around £2/3 for this. Its looks like a normal lipstick.





What I love about this:

• Very moisturising
• Contains SPF 15
• Conditions lips

It goes on clear and leaves a glossy finish. To be honest, its to glossy to be used as a primer. I applied my lipstick over this and as its so glossy the lipstick didn't last long at all.

I use this as a lip balm, as it contains SPF and conditions,it looks great on its own, or over a nude lipstick to add a bit of extra shine.

Smoothing eye Primer
This primer is a moose type primer,and comes in a little plastic pot of 3.1g. A little goes a long way. I paid around £2.00 for this.




What I love about this:

• Improves eye shadow application
• Make eyeshadow colours more vibrant
• Helps eyeshadow last longer without creasing.

This makes my eyelids a lot less oily and does not irritate my eyes at all, which is a plus as I have sensitive eyes. It does make your eye make up stay on longer then if you didn't use a primer,as it stops your eyelids from being to oily.
For the price this is pretty good.

I also use this as something to make some of my eyeshadow more vibrant.This did make my eyeshadow last a lot longer. I applied my make up today at 11am and at 6pm my eyeshadow is still there! With only a little bit of creasing. Would definitely recommend this.

Overall for the price they are not to bad at all. Out of the three the Face primer is definitely something I will buy again.

There is also a lot more in this range,Mascaras,blushers etc. They also do make up brushes as well, which I have not tried as yet.I think I might try some of the other products in the future.
