L’Oreal Pure Clay Masks

With face mask bombarding us everywhere we go, I found  delightful trio that work wonders for your skin. At such a fantastic price point, there is no excuse not to try out Loreal’s Pure Clay Face Masks.

Having now tried all three masks, on numerous occasions, it is not only great for skincare, but provides a fabulous base for flawless make up.

  1. The first mask that I tried was the Pure Clay Detox mask and this wonder definitely screamed that black is the new black. The claims were that this mask clarifies and detoxes the skin. I can now say I am an advocate for this. After the first application a lot of the black heads that I got around my nose area were gently washed away and with repeated use my skin soon was lifted of the pollution in the city.
  2. The second treatment that I tried was the Pure Clay Glow mask and this red little number is great for next level exfoliation. This mask claims to brighten the skin and for someone who is constantly battling for a glow, I was surprised that this worked. The texture t first takes a bit of getting used to as it is gritty as opposed to smooth, but the instant glow after the first use is fantastic.
  3. The final mask that I used was the Pure Clay Purity Mask, which vibrant green colour should not be off putting. This mask is great for oily skin which claims to mattify and purify skin. I used this as part of a multi mask treatment as I only tend to get oily around my nose. Because of my skin type this mask wasn’t ideal for the whole of my face, but for my nose it was great to help my make up lat all day.

These masks are ideal for targeting your worry areas and can be used all at the same time as part of a multi mask treatment. Try using a brush to apply the mask to avoid wasting the mask on your fingers. IMG_1598

The Best Things in Life are Free

With the pinch of Christmas and New Years following us into 2017, buying luxury products is probably the last thing on our minds. With new products coming out all the time, how on earth do we keep up and know what is a investment?

You should never feel pressured in buying products just because they are new on the market, you need to try what’s good for your skin and routine. It’s a big ask to drop money on skincare products that are raved about all over social media and people forget the harm in asking. This is why free samples can help you find out what’s best for your routine.

From Charlotte Tilbury to Garnier, you can pick up samples of all sorts of products and try them out to see what’s best for you. You can do this by approaching the assistants in stores such as Selfridges and Debenhams, who would be happy to help you. Often concessions offer free samples and even test the product on your skin before you buy.

It can seem intimidating to ask for a sample from a premium brand, however, this can save you money and help you make an informed decision on what to buy. Of course, don’t become accustomed to keep going back for free samples, because sales assistants will realise you are taking advantage.

If you are thinking about making a purchase, go into a store and think about what you want the product to do for your skin and go from there. If you do decide to purchase something that day, don’t be scared to ask for the to pack your purchase up with free  samples too.

If you don’t ask then you don’t get, so start a collection of free samples and you’ll see the difference in your savings.
