Zuri face mask review!

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere! You may have already saw this product featured in my fragrance direct haul, since I've used it a handful of times i decided to give it a full review.

Zuri Brightening skin
 renew mask.

What is the brand 'Zuri.'

 I didn't know about this brand until i spotted it on fragrance direct, and me being a magpie to skin products i decided to order it, when i researched into it i found it was a brand that is part of sleek makeup knowing this and only this  i didn't really have big aspirations for this product because  of the limited information i could find out.

Zuri claims.

' A multi-purpose product that purifies and mattifies the skin by absorbing sebum as well as skins impurity's. The alga light, an algae extract, is a skin brightening agent derived from red algae. It controls UV induced darkening by suppressing factors that allow processes to occur. The mask also possesses microbial properties, and is also highly moisturizing.'

How i found it.

The Zuri face mask has become one of my main ingredients to healthy skin, when i first tried this product i didn't see an improvement in my skin at all besides a boost of moisture but after a few uses of this product i completely fell in love with it. I find it does pretty much excautly as it says on the box; However i do not think it prevents brake outs, but i do think that it reduces redness and helps get rid of existing spots. 

This face mask defiantly brightens, mattifies and hydrates the skin. I would defiantly buy it again as it's a beauty bargain must have for your skin!

You can find this at Fragrance Direct for 2.99

Have you tried anything new lately?

Waltzing through the ocean waves...

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere!
I'm no nail technician and when it comes to painting my nails it always feels like a drag, but occasionally i get the urge to be creative and paint my nails; today was one of these days.
I decided to put my first ever Essie 'Waltz' to the test and glam them up with Topshop glitter polish 'Junkyard' i think they turned out pretty ok.
Just in case your wondering i have only took pictures of one hand because no one in my house seems to know how to work my camera (even though it's pretty simple.)

My nails!

Topshop- Junkyard

Topshop- Junkyard

Essie- Waltz

Essie- Waltz

Topshop- Junkyard
Essie- Waltz

My first opinion on the Essie nail polish is that it needs at least 3 coats to become properly opaque maybe it's just because the polish is white and that's why it takes so much but either way i dislike that it takes 3 coats,   However the brush on the polish is amazing, it covers the whole nail easily. I don't think i'll be a fully converted essie lover until I've tried more colours.

Are you an Essie lover?

'This' or 'that' tag!

Fragrance Direct haul!!

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere, Sorry i haven't posted in awhile but i have been busy with school revision  overloading my brain as well as counting down the days till i got this package through the post! i recently done the
money-supermarket 30 ways to save a pound challenge (Link to my post;HERE) by doing this post i earned myself 30 pound! which i think went on to buy lots of goodies from Fragrance direct!Here's what i bought!

Dainty doll creme blusher- Paper roses

Dainty doll  powder blusher- You are my sunshine

Dainty doll creme blusher- Orange county girl

NYC coverstick- Light

NYC  mono eye shadow- Alister

Kate moss lipstick- shade 12

Essie nail polish- Waltz

L'oreal colour riche- Paris avenues 621

Yardley Royal english daisy- Hand cream

Zuri- face renewing mask

Sally Hensen- no more breaks

I also bought a book of eBay with the money but it wasn't going to look too pretty because much to my disappointment the book wasn't in too great condition.So far from what I've seen i'm super happy with my purchases, especially my dainty doll blushers!but they will be put to the test. I'm also no longer an Essie virgin, my first ever nail varnish by them is called waltz and is a basic white colour, originally i thought it was a pale blue but when it arrived i was shocked to see it was white, but either way i'm still happy as it's a very nice nail polish to add to my collection. The Ziri face renewing mask is also a welcomed addition to my skincare collection as from what I've seen is very good and a bargain considering it's RRP is valued at 14.99!What have you bought lately?...x

Forever twenty one;Mustache necklace.

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere, so a few days ago i went to the Trafford center in Manchester with a girls group (long story for more information click: HERE)
I attended this in an attempt to meet new people as I've just moved into the area and it was supposed to help lead me into becoming a volunteer at the youth club, which it did and i'm now starting a voluntary course in September which will help me have some experience for future jobs once I've passed and become a volunteer.  So anyway back to the story in the Trafford center we each got to get each other a gift like a secret Santa but in april, i got a girl called Lisa who bought me the most adorable necklace from forever twenty one, it has a thin gold chain and a dainty mustache charm, i personally love it and glad she picked it for me :)
