Up until now I have only ever tried one of GlamGlow's face masks, however I have been dying to try some of the others for ages! When I was in Rome I picked up some sample sizes to try.

I am planning on reviewing the other ones as well in the future, but this is the only one I've tried so far.

The one I have tried so far is the Thirsty Mud hydrating treatment.

Firstly, can we talk about this packaging??

GlamGlow packaging is always amazing and these sample sizes are no different. Sounds silly, but I love that the sample packaging is actually the same as the full size!

So onto the mask, this mask is a hydrating face mask for those times when your skin is feeling a little dry & in need of moisture. So I imagine if you have dry skin in general this product would be perfect for you!

I only tend to get dry areas on my face, so for me this is probably best used as part of a multi-masking routine (using more than one mask, different masks for different problem areas).

As I don't really suffer with dry skin too much I thought this product was going to be a little wasted on me, however I would have to say I was wrong!

The first time I used this mask was after I got back from Rome. The climate was so hot out there that it had dried my skin out quite a lot, so this had to be really moisturising to make a difference. I'm happy to report that I only needed to use this once, to restore my skin to normal!

So I am very impressed with this mask & I think if you're going away it's definitely worth trying.

It would be perfect for long haul flights, holidays & season changes (which we are undergoing right now).

I think in the winter months this mask is really going to come into it's own for me, because crazy British weather = dry skin!

Skincare is subject that I love!

So today we're going to be talking The Body Shop's Vitamin E range.

Three products in particular: Vitamin E Hydrating Toner, Moisture Cream & Night Cream.

So firstly I'm going to talk about the toner. This is just like any other toner for me, I don't find it to anything too special. It is still a nice soothing toner, which I would say is suitable for just about any skin type! It does add some moisture to the skin, like it's name states, which is nice as some toners can be a little drying.

Next I'm going to talk about the day/ moisture cream. Now this is my favourite of the three products! It is a really nice light day cream, which is really moisturising but doesn't leave my face feeling or looking greasy. It is more on the thinner side of day creams but I like that in my creams. I have to say as well I've had no breakouts whilst using the cream, which is a win.

The night cream I quite like. It feels soothing & gentle on the skin. It is a thicker cream, like most night creams are. This makes it really moisturising, however it can take a little while to sink into the skin. I like how it's quite a simple cream & does cause any undesirable side effects on your skin. 

These products do have a light scent to them, which I can only describe as 'eau de old lady' (haha). But it's not so strong that it stops me using the products, so it can't be that bad.

I get so many questions these days about Blepharitis in general & skincare/ beauty products make a large percentage of those questions.

So today we're going to talking about Blepharitis safe skincare.

You might think you can use any skincare, when suffering however this isn't always the case. A lot of products can be heavy, especially eye creams & these can irritate the eyes. Also if a product is quite highly scented to fumes can get in your eye irritating them further or even making them sting.

So if you are suffering from Blepharitis it's definitely worth taking a look at your skincare products before repurchasing.

So here are some products that I've found to be suitable.

Simple Soothing Eye Balm

This is a holy grail for me! Honestly it is the best eye cream for anyone with Blepharitis, I swear. It's so Simple (get it) that you can smother it all over your dry/ sore eyes & it won't sting or upset your eyes. It has no fragrance as well, which is ideal. Sometimes if my eyes are sore, the skin around them can get really sore too & this is perfect for that. I even keep a spare in my handbag!

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser

This is very much like the eye balm, in the sense that it has no fragrance & no nasty strong chemicals in it. Again this is product you can literally use anywhere, even on the eyes if needs be. It's very moisturising & a little goes a long way. I also find this to be the only facial cream I can get away with using on broken or irritated skin (ie. if you have a red nose from an allergy or cold).

Benefit Dream Screen

This product is a little bit more holiday focused, although there is no reason you can't use in your everyday skincare routine. In fact it's probably advisable if you're using the Simple moisturiser mentioned above, as that has no SPF in it.

This facial sun cream is the only one I've found that isn't super greasy & heavy. It is scented, but only very lightly so it doesn't upset my eyes. I wouldn't advise applying it to your eye area, simply throw some sunglasses on!

Simple Micellar Water

This post isn't sponsored by Simple, I promise. They just make amazing skincare for those of us sensitive eye/ skin folk. This & facial wipes are the only products I've found which don't sting my eyes when cleaning my face & especially when removing make up. I would advise the micellar water over wipes as wipes only remove a certain amount of your make up. 

Superdrug De-stressing Face Mask

Some face masks can create a lot of fumes or can simply irritate your skin if you apply them too close to your eyes. I find the more natural face mask you can find the better. I've picked this one by Superdrug as it doesn't do anything crazy, but it does refresh your skin & leave it feeling super smooth. Another thing about this mask is that it has no scrub particles in it, so they can't get in your eyes.

Hope this helped some of you struggling.

As you all probably know by now I LOVE Lush's Mask of Magnaminty face mask. So I decided to try another mask by them.

This is Lush's Cup O' Coffee face mask.

This mask is an exfoliating mask consisting of a variety of natural ingredients including ground coffee, cocoa extract, fair trade vanilla & more.

So my thoughts on the mask.

I'm going to be honest here I hate the smell of coffee & this stinks of it! The scent is so strong I could still smell it the next morning when I was washing my face in the shower. This initially put me off this mask.

I have used the mask a couple of times now, because if it gave me amazing results I think I could deal with the smell.

When they say this is an exfoliating mask, they aren't kidding!!

I would only recommend this mask if you have extremely oily skin. I have combo skin, with oiliness in the centre of my face & I found this mask to be very drying.

After I washed it off my skin felt too dry to me, so I actually had to use a hydrating treatment (h2o+ hydrating treatment) to add some moisture back to my face.

This mask might also be good for drying out any nasty spots you have, seeing as it is very drying.

Overall thought, not a product for my skin type.

I bet you're wondering why I'm reviewing a product for ageing hair, well I received these in a Glossybox and thought I might as well make the most of them.

So these are the new Dove Youthful Vitality (for ageing hair) Shampoo & Conditioner.

I don't really use Dove, they're just not a brand that appeals to me although I feel the packaging for these is a lot nicer than their standard packaging.
