Beauty/Skincare Wish List

Recently I've been eyeing up so many beauty & skincare products but at the moment I have got literally no money. This is the problem with beauty, there is absolutely thousands of products to choose from you could spend so much money! I'm saving up my money so I can hopefully buy a things which are on my wish list.

• Lush BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask - I've previously used the Cupcake mask but wanted to try a different one. BB Seaweed has fresh seaweed, ground almonds, rose absolute and aloe vera to sooth the skin which sounds so great. Also has kaolin which removes any excess dirty or oil on the skin which is what my skin needs! 

• Sleek Face Form Palette In Fair - Sleek is one of my favourite make up brands, I have quite a few of their products and have never had a problem. I've been eyeing this up for ages and I've heard so many raving reviews on this. It contains a highligher, bronzer and a blush.

• Makeup Revolution Blush Palette In Sugar And Spice - Makeup Revolution are a very popular yet inexpensive brand lately, 8 blush shades for the price of just £6, you seriously cannot go wrong. Also, some of the shades look great for highlighting too.

• Benefit High Bean - Benefit are one of my favourite brands. My mum has the mini high beam and I'm always stealing it because I love it that much! It shows I need to buy my own lol. 

• Barry M Speedy Nail Polishes - These have only recently been released but what caught my eyes were the colours! I love pastel colours and they look gorgeous for spring/summer! And they're speedy at drying! So that's a big bonus.

• MAC Studio Fix Powder - I've wanted this for a long time now. Sometimes I really don't feel like wearing a liquid foundation, especially when it's hot weather. This looks great as it gives great coverage for a powder, it is kinda pricey just for a powder though.

• Lush Ro's Argon Body Conditioner - This is Rose Jam scented and it's one of my fave lush scents! My mum has a small pot of this and if I'm lucky she'll give me a bit, it's so soft on the skin it's unreal and the smell is to die for, I need the big pot in my life!!!

• MAC Lipstick in Brave - This lipstick looks gorgeous, whenever I go to Mac I always pick this up and have a quick swatch. Whenever I buy another Mac lipstick, this will be it! It's pretty similar to Velvet Teddy which is very popular. 

• Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I need this bronzer in my life, I've heard raving reviews about this bronzer especially for us pale skin folks, bronzers I have used in the past have always been orange or just way too much on my skin but this looks just right for me.

Lush Cosmetics Cupcake Face Mask Review

Hello everyone, today I've got a review of the Lush fresh face mask, Cupcake. Lush is one of my favourite companies because 1. They use fresh natural ingredients and 2. They don't test on animals! Whenever I go into Lush, the smell of the bath bombs just leads me over to that area of the shop so sometimes I never really have a proper look around at all the other great stuff they sell. I have heard great reviews about all their fresh face masks, especially for teenage skin, Cupcake. So kindly my mum decided to buy this for me which I was really grateful for as I had been wanting to try this mask ever since I read reviews on it, and smelt it! It smells really great!

When the mask is on my skin, it feels tingly because of the peppermint, but it feels tingly in a nice way?? Lol! It's like you can feel the mask working on your skin! It smells like chocolate but has a strong scent of peppermint! It has rhassoul mud which cleanses and softens the skin which I definitely agree with, my skin feels so clean and soft after using this mask, my skin has never felt so soft! It also really helps to calm down any redness on the face, my face gets quite red as i'm a red head.

It also includes linseed infusion, cocoa powder and fair trade vanilla absolute.

Personally, I like how thick the mask is because you don't have to use loads to cover your whole face, this is the small tub and I've had 4 uses out of it and can probably get another 2! (These pictures where taken after 3 uses!) This pot is the smallest they do for masks. 

The only downside to this mask is that because it's thick and brown, it's messy to get off! Most masks are messy to get off so this doesn't really matter to me much! Overall, I think when my little tub runs out i will purchase another one! Or maybe I try a different one :) I have posted a few photos below, sorry the quality isn't very good! 

Also, because of the fresh ingredients in this mask, it needs to be put in the fridge! Also, it expires after 3 weeks, so make sure you use all your mask in that time period! 

Thank you for reading!
