Garnier Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask Review

Hey beaut's!

Oh I do love a pamper sesh, theres nothing like snuggling up in your favourite PJ's with plenty of choccies to hand, with Netflix on (obvs), nail polish at the ready and of course a face mask, and recently when I was browsing in Superdrug I noticed Garnier had a tissue mask I was yet to try - their Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask - so I had to buy it!

The Garnier Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask is an all in one, ultra thin sheet mask which is suitable for all skin types - even the most sensitive - but is especially targeted for those with enlarged pores. The mask itself is infused with a serum that has been enriched with Black Algae Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and LHA making this an ultra hydrating, purifying and pore-tightening mask that will also reduce shine too, perfect for more oily/combination girls! To apply the mask you simply remove it from the packaging, whack it on your face and then terrify everyone who you live with for 15-20 minutes *my dog always gives me so many funny looks when I wear sheet masks*, and then simply peel it off to remove it without any need of scrubbing or rinsing, perfect! Whilst the mask is on you'll notice that the mask itself is absolutely drenched in serum, personally I love this because once you take the mask off theres still plenty of serum left on my face to rub into my skin, so my skin really gets all the benefits. There isn't much of a scent to this mask and it's doesn't tingle of warm up whilst it's on either which I much prefer as my skins more on the sensitive side!

The results I got after using the Garnier Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask where great, my skin felt super moisturised but not oily or shiny in any way, it was really soft and so so smooth and although I didn't see a huge difference in the size of my pores initially, the next day after applying my makeup my pores where barley visible and my makeup looked so smooth and flawless, so I would definitely say it shrinks/tightened those pesky pores. I have to say I'm a huge fan of Garnier's sheet masks, their so easy to apply and don't slip off midway through the application, their mess and fuss free and for a couple a pounds in Superdrug you really cant go wrong!

You can find the Garnier Pure Charcoal Black Tissue Mask in Superdrug for £1.99 HERE.

Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask Review

Hey beaut's!

Skincare is something I've really been getting into over the last year or so and I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my skin since I started taking care of it properly, one thing that I know my skin loves the most is a nice moisturising face mask and the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask has quickly become something I literally buy in bulk because it's just so good.

In a nutshell the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask is an absolute dream, it's a tissue mask which is suitable for all skin types - even the most sensitive like mine, and is enriched with pomegranate extract, hyaluronic acid, and plant serum which intensely rehydrates the skin, reduces the look of fine lines, and revives radiance. To apply the mask you just pop it out of the packaging, unfold it and simply place it onto cleansed skin, then peal off the blue backing once your happy with the masks placement and then leave it to do its thing for 15 minutes. Whilst the mask is on you'll notice that the mask itself is absolutely drenched in serum, personally I love this because once you take the mask off theres still plenty of serum left on my face to rub into my skin, so my skin really gets a huge dose of moisture. The mask also has a super cooling effect whilst it's on which is really refreshing and helps calm any redness of puffiness in the skin, even after the mask is removed my skin still feels super cool which feels like it's still working even after it's been taken off.

The results for me after using the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask are amazing, my skin feels super moisturised and nourished, really soft and smooth, radiant and even my dark circles under my eyes appear reduced and I always notice the day or two after using the mask my base makeup always looks so flawless. If you have dry, dehydrated skin I would highly recommend giving this mask a go, it was a god send for me last autumn and winter and even now that we are heading into Spring it's still working wonders for me, hand down this mask is the best one I've ever tried in terms of hydration, it's incredible.

You can find the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask for 99p (usually £1.49) at the moment in Superdrug HERE.

Small Makeup/Beauty Haul ♥

Hey beaut's!

I recently went into my local Superdrug and done what us beauty bloggers do best, go in looking for one thing and come out with eight things ha ha, I just couldn't resist a makeup treat or two so today I thought I'd share with you all what I managed to pick up!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 01 Red Nose Red £5.49 (Two For £10.00 Offer)

The reason I popped into Superdrug was for this little beauty, the Rimmel Kate Limited Edition Lipstick in Red Nose Red! I love the Rimmel Kate Lipstick range so when I saw in a magazine that Kate's No.1 lipstick was having a Red Nose Day makeover I just knew it had to be mine he he. Red Nose Red is a blue toned red which I love, it really has that vintage glam look once its applied to the lips and just looks so beautiful. Another plus is that each lipstick that sold £1.67 is donated straight to Comic Relief so it's definitely worth picking up beaut's!  

Rimmel BB Cream in Light £6.99 ( Two for £10.00 Offer)

There was two reasons for me picking this BB Cream up, firstly because Rimmel had a 2 for £10 offer on and secondly because I tried a sample of the BB Cream that came in a Glossybox a while ago and absolutely loved it. The Rimmel BB Cream is a 9-1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup and I think it will work amazingly during the Spring/Summer months so whilst it was on offer I thought I'd get one to put away. The sample I tried a while back was really nice and I loved the way it made my skin look, it felt like it corrected everything that needed correcting and gave me a nice coverage, whilst feeling and looking very light on the skin, it was lovely!

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo in Pink Gold £4.99 (Buy One Get One Half Price Offer)

As I've been thinking alot about the transition from Winter makeup to Spring makeup recently I thought I'd pick up Maybelline's 'Pink Gold' Color Tattoo whilst it was in stock, it always seems out of stock in my Superdrug so it's obviously a popular choice. I really do love the Color Tattoo's and I cant wait to see what Spring makeup looks I can create with this little pretty!

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Nude £7.99 (Buy One Get One Half Price Offer)

Something else I can never seem to find in any Superdrug or Boots is the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light, its even out of stock online so I caved and bought the Nude shade instead as Ive been dying to try the concealer out for ages. I literally tried the concealer the minute I got it home and I really do like it, the coverage is great and I loved the way it sat on my under eye area and never creased at all. Look out for a full review soon beaut's. 

L'Oreal Miss Manga Punky Mascara in Black £5.99 (Introduction Offer)

I wanted to find a new drugstore mascara that ticked all of my mascara boxes so I thought I'd give L'Oreal's New Miss Manga Punky a go. It's said that Miss Manga Punky can give you mega volume on your top and bottom lashes and the conical shape of the brush can create an intense spiky effect, it sounds pretty epic doesn't it. So far I've really been enjoying this mascara and I think my love for L'Oreal mascara's might just be back!

Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner in Black £2.99

My trusty Collection Felt Tip Liner is on its last legs so this was just a repurchase because it awesome, I cant live without this little beauty in my makeup bag!

Barry M Blink Waterproof Precision Eyeliner in Black £4.49

Even though I repurchased my Collection liner I came across this 'Blink' liner on the Barry M stand and loved how thin and precise the nib was so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Garnier Moisture Match for Normal Skin £1.98 (Half Price Offer)

I'm currently using the Garnier Moister Match moisturiser for dry to very dry skin and its been my saviour during these cold winter months, so when I saw the Moisture Match range was half price I decided to pick up the new Protect and Glow moisturiser for Normal Skin. Again I thought this would be so nice to use when Spring arrives because it has an illuminating glow to it, contains an SPF 20 and is lemony fresh.

So that's my little Superdrug Beauty Haul for you all, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you've picked up any of these little gems recently or if theres anything else that I need to try in Superdrug at the moment.

July Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey beaut's!

Its that time again.... Monthly favourites time!!! I know we all say this every month but honestly I cant believe how quick the months are going, its crazy...  It will be Christmas again before we know it haha, woop woop! Anywhoooo today I thought I would share with you all the makeup and beauty products that I've been loving throughout July, so here goes....

Makeup Revolution

I have simply been obsessed with Makeup Revolution this month, last month and probably the month before that ha ha, I honestly couldn't choose one favourite makeup item for this post because I've been using so many of their products on a daily basis in my everyday routine. I have particularly been blown away by their lipsticks, Rebel with a Cause being my absolute favourite, the Flawless Eyeshadow Palette has also been used more or less everyday since it arrived on my door mat, the Cover and Conceal Palette has me in concealer heaven and the Blush and Contour Palette in Sugar Rush needs to be on every ones wish list because its stunning! The quality and value for money is seriously good and as you can tell I'm going Makeup Revolution mad over here ha ha.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory

I think Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation is always going be one of my ultimate favourite foundations and one I will always keep going back too because it's just so blooming good! I hadn't actually used Wake Me Up in a while because I've been testing other foundations and CC creams but as I was looking through my makeup collection it was just looking at me asking to be used again hehe, I've actually been using it everyday since and have been reminded of just how beautiful it looks on the skin, it's just so natural looking, dewy, lightweight, radiant, great on dry skin types like myself and is perfect to use all year round, it's just amazing!

My Current Nail Loves...

Ive been going through a real girlie stage with my nails this past month and have been loving all things pink whether they are pastel, bright or sparkly I have just been obsessed! I actually received the two Nail Girls polishes in beauty boxes, the base/top coat came in a Glossy box and the dusky baby pink shade called Nude Pink came in a Love Me Beauty box and if I'm being honest I had never heard of the Nail Girls brand before but I have now found out why they are priced at £13.50 a bottle... because the formula is brilliant, Nude Pink is so creamy and slightly on the thicker side compared to your average nail polish and seems to dry opaque and shiny after just one coat which is really impressive, it's also an extremely hard wearing nail polish brand too and takes ages to chip. And to add abit of glitz and sparkle, I've been using Makeup Revolutions Streetcar Desire as a top coat just on my accent nail, I'm so in love with this nail combination at the moment.

Prada Candy Florale Perfume

I only received this Prada Candy Floral Perfume in May and I have nearly used up the entire 50ml bottle already, it's just the most beautiful Summer scent and I find it so nice to wear from day to day. Candy Florale is actually inspired by an imaginary flower that smells like candy or a bouquet of flowers standing on the counter of an ice cream shop in Italy, so basically think of a light peony floral scent with a touch of sweetness and that your scent right there...Arrhh sweetness and floral, whats not to love! I have done a full review of the Prada Candy Florale Perfume HERE if you like to take a peek beaut's but if not take my word for it, this perfume smells insanely good and the bottle ain't half bad either.

Mitchum Advanced Control Roll On in Waterlily

Now I know this is very random, I don't think I've ever seen a roll on in someones favourites before but I just couldn't leave it out. I picked the Mitchum roll on up in Superdrug on a complete whim, it was on offer a few months back so it automatically just got thrown into my basket and after using it I certainly wont be straying from this Mitchum brand anytime soon, it just keeps me nice a fresh all day and I can smell the Waterlily scent (which is incredible by the way) all throughout the day too, it doesn't leave me with horrible white marks on my clothes and you get 100ml's instead of the usual 50mls that roll ons usually have, yes it is slightly more expensive when it isn't on offer but its totally worth, trust me its amazing!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner

Ive been growing my hair out for a while now and leaving it longer between cuts so it often feels dry and looks abit dull, but those days are now gone because the Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner seem to work wonders on my hair, the opulent formula leaves my hair feeling moisturised, healthy, shiny and smelling lovely, which is everything I want from shampoo and conditioner hehe. If you havent tried these out yet then I'd highly recommend them beaut's! 

What have been your favourite beauty products to use throughout July beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil Lotion | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Garnier seem to be on fire at the moment with their new product releases proving to be a massive hit, not only have I become obsessed with their new Ultimate Blends range of shampoo and conditioners but I'm in love with their Beauty Oil range too, and in particular their Oil Beauty Nourishing Lotion! I actually received a sample of the Beauty Oil Lotion in my May Glossybox and after giving it a go and using up my sample I quickly became a fan and had to buy myself the full size bottle pronto!

Now if you read my blog regularly you will know I'm not partial to a body oil in fact I usually hate body oils... But... Garnier's Beauty Oil Lotion is a body oil with a twist... it's in lotion form! What makes this stand out from the rest is the fact that this oil-infused nourishing lotion is enhanced by the power of 4 beautifying oils, Argan, Macadamia, Almond & Rose which combined claim to visibly improve and perfect the look of your skin, with the most driest skins in mind! Also as this lotion contains Almond Oil it can be very beneficial to eczema suffers, which I always suffer with in the summer months.

The Beauty Oil Lotion's formula is gorgeous and probably one of the best body lotion formula's I've tried and my goodness I've tried alot, what makes it so nice is the fact that it's so lightweight and feels so silky as your rubbing it into your body, it's in no way oily or greasy which I favour and is perfect for those who like the benefit of a body oil but hate the oily feeling like I do. As for the lotions scent... It smells amazing! It's quite heavily scented and rather musky too and really reminds me of one of my all time favourite perfumes Ghost Deep Night, the scent lingers for ages too, I always apply the lotion at night before bed and the scent is still lingering on my skin the next day! The moisturising quality of this amazing lotion is lovely, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy/sticky feeling on the skin it works well on very dry skin and has also cleared my eczema up a treat without any stinging or further irritation.

Overall I absolutely love this stuff and haven't been this impressed by a body oil come lotion ever! It's such a nice after shower lotion and even if I apply this in the mornings it's not the sort of lotion that has you sat in your towel for ages waiting for it to absorb so that you can get dressed, it literally absorbs instantly and leaves you skin super soft, moisturised, looking radiant and smelling incredible. The only downside is that if you have nut allergies you probably wont want to slather this all over your skin so it's not a lotion that would suit all in that respect. 

I picked my 250ml bottle up in Superdrug when it was on offer for £3.22 but it's original price is £4.99, they also have a bigger 400ml bottle and a Beauty Oil Body Scrub too which I'm dying to try he he.

Have you tried the Garnier Beauty Oil range yet beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know!

May Glossybox Review! The Superdrug 50th Birthday Box ♥

Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! There's been so much speculation surrounding what this months Glossybox collaboration was going to be and I can finally reveal that Glossybox have teamed up with the iconic beauty retailer Superdrug to celebrate their very special 50th birthday! As Superdrug has been our go to destination for all of our makeup and beauty products for an impressive 50 years, it seemed the perfect time for them to fill our boxes with goodies that will showcase what they have to offer us this Summer, ohhh I love a good Summer Beauty Edit he he... 

So lets see what I received inside my 'Superdrug 50th Birthday' Glossybox...

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara | Full size | £6.99

I actually already own this mascara and love it, so I'm happy to have another one in my makeup stash for when mine runs out. The Retro Glam Mascara is actually Rimmels first mascara with an hourglass shaped brush that really plumps up and curves those lashes for that iconic 'retro' 60's look. One of the main factors I love about this mascara is that it really does give you that wide-eyed look, and as I have small eyes anything that opens them up more I love he he. Also as a little treat Glossybox have given us a £2.00 off voucher for the Wake Me Up Foundation (my favourite he he) to use only instore at Superdrug, bonus! 

B. Quick One Coat Professional Finish Nail Polish in Persica | Full Size | £4.99

I've never actually bought anything from Superdrugs B. Makeup line before so I'm excited to see how this nail polish fairs. It claims to give intense colour payoff after one application, has fast drying time and says it will leave your nails looking beautifully glossy, oohhh whats not to love! The peachy/coral shade is right up my street too and perfect for the summer months ahead.

Superdrug Large Doughnut Ring | £3.99 |

I must admit its very rare that I have my hair in a nice neat bun and when I do I tend to use a sock to create the doughnut affect ha ha, but it's nice to actually have the correct tool for the job at last ha ha!

I Love Cosmetics Strawberries & Milkshake Shimmer & Sine Lip Gloss | Full Size | £1.29

This lip gloss literally smells incredible and isn't as sticky as I thought it was going to be, usually with lip gloss tubes I find the product really gloopy but this isn't at all, it's slightly tacky but nothing major at all. There's no colour payoff with this gloss as its main purpose is to add some slight shimmer to your look, I can see this looking really pretty on a hot summers night at a beach party or BBQ.  

Blow Pro Daily Volumizing Conditioner | Sample | £9,99 for 235ml

Blow Pro is a brand that's new to me but sounds fabulous. It's free from parabens, sulfates and sodium chloride and claims to nourish, add body and prevent split ends and fly aways, this sounds pretty amazing to me and I absolutely love trying haircare in beauty boxes so I shall be using this tonight he he.

BONUS PRODUCT! Garnier Oil Body Lotion | Sample | £4,99 for 250ml

Usually I hate body oils... But... I absolutely love this one by Garnier and I'm definitely going to be buying the full size version of this pronto! It's a light, silky oil that's infused with body lotion that offers the same hydration and moisture of an oil but in the form of a body lotion, it's lovely and perfect for those who like the benefit of an oil but hate the oily feeling like I do. It also smells great, absorbs nicely and I'd go as far as saying that this could be my go to summer moisturiser.

BONUS PRODUCT! Ghost Eclipse | Sample | £33.00 for 50ml

I don't usually like getting perfume samples in my Glossybox but as this is a bonus product I don't mind so much, plus I love Ghost fragrances and the little sample is nice to throw in my handbag for an on the go spritz.

Overall I'm really happy with this months box, the contents is great I love that theres a good mix of full size products and samples and the collaboration is fantastic!


What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I think its fair to say that Micellar Waters have taken the skincare world by storm and lots of us beauty bloggers have been loving them too. I've tried and tested Superdrugs B.Pure Micellar Water and L'Oreal's Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution so it was only fair that I gave Garniers offering a whirl as well. I actually bought my bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water from Savers for £2.99 after a friend recommend that I bought it from there, I couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was considering its a whopping 400ml bottle and my local Boots and Superdrug sell it for £4,99, gotta love a beauty bargain!!!

Garnier claim their hypoallergenic micellar cleansing water cleanses, soothes and acts like a magnet with it's cleansing agents capturing and lifting away the days impurities and makeup, with no need to rub at your delicate skin whilst removing, the 400ml bottle also promises to give us up to 200 uses, sounds pretty amazing right?

 I just have to say I blooming love this little beauty... Firstly out of all the micellar waters I've tried I favour Garniers packaging the most, the large rounded bottle is easy to hold and the cute pink lid is great for dispensing just enough product onto your cotton pad so I don't find myself wasting product like I did when using L'Oreal's offering. The Micellar Cleansing Water itself  is super gentle on my sensitive skin and doesn't irritate my eye area at all, removing every trace of eye makeup without me having to rub or be harsh towards my eye area, I've even been testing out a waterproof mascara recently and you know how hard they can be to remove sometimes but this little lovely by Garnier makes light work of it. It's also great at taking lip products off without drying out your lips which is a bonus for when you've worn a vampy lip and it has slightly stained. The cleansing water doesn't have much of a fragrance to it which is fine by me as some perfumed products hate my skin, I've not experienced any breaks out whilst using the cleansing water either, if anything I feel like my skin has improved as it constantly feels refreshed, soothed and lovely and soft.

I've been using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for exactly 2 weeks now, morning and night, and as you can see from the picture above Ive hardly used up much product at all,  I can see I'm really going to get my moneys worth out of this and will certainly be repurchasing it. I have wanted to try Bioderma for a while now but after trying this and loving it so much I don't think I'm going to bother now he he. As far as comparing this to L'Oreal's Micellar Water... I honestly don't see a huge difference in  how they both work but I'd say Garniers is better value for money as you get so much product that stretches a long way, I also much prefer how Garniers Micellar Water dispenses as L'Oreal's did tend to just shoot out uncontrollably causing alot of wastage. Overall Garnier come out on top for me, I just love the stuff!! 

Have you tried Garniers Micellar Cleansing Water beaut's?? What did you think?? Id love to know.

Skincare Wishlist ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

You may have noticed that I've gone a little wishlist crazy at the moment, I'm just lusting after so many pretty things and that doesn't stop when it comes to skincare either he he, I also thought by sharing my Skincare wishlist it would be really helpful for me, as hopefully some of you beaut's can lead me in the right direction of what I need first, here goes...

Avene Gentle Toner £11.50
This toner by Avene sounds so nice and perfect for my dry, sensitive skin. I've also never really been into toners but its something I'd love to add to my skincare routine.

Kiehl's Firming Eye Treatment £34.50
This little beauty actually got suggested to me by some lovely bloggers during the beauty bloggers chat on twitter recently, and after reading up on some reviews this seems like a little miracle worker. Ive never used an eye cream before, so I think it's time I started, I really need to look after my delicate eye area from now on.

La Roche-Posey Effacla DUO Treatment £15.50
Ohh the famous La Roche-Posey... To be honest the only reason I really want to try this is because everybody seems to love it and rave about its results so much, so now I'm extremely intrigued to see if it will work wonders on my skin like it seems to on everyone else ha ha.

Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Solution £9.99
Another skincare product that's taken the blogosphere by storm...Bioderma! This was the first micellar solution I ever really heard of way back when, and unfortunately I'm still waiting to try it as I'm typing this now. I think the thing that puts my off buying this is the fact its that little bit more expensive and its not as easy as walking into Superdrug or Boots to repurchase hhmm?? Should I?

Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water £4.99
Have you noticed I have a Micellar Water addiction ha ha, Garnier's latest offering has been getting some great reviews recently which has got me really intrigued, I'm currently using L'Oreal's Micellar Water (which I love) but I really want to compare the two, however Garnier's bottle looks huge so I think I'll definitely be getting more for my money with that compared to L'Oreal's.

Vichy Smoothing and Illuminating Cream £23.50
Oh how I love Vichy... I've become obsessed with their Idealia Serum and their Setting Powder and now I need their Idealia Moisturiser for Dry Skin in my life. It's such a luxurious brand to use and the results really are lovely so I'm expecting great things form this moisturiser.. Arhh I want it do bad!

And there you have it girlie's, my Skincare Wishlist! I'd love some feedback as to what you beaut's think I should buy first or what is a must have skincare product on my wishlist, I'm also thinking of taking advantage of Escentual's French Pharmacy event, have you???
