Elizavecca - Milky Piggy - Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

Hello lovelies,

I'm already starting to regret documenting this on camera.. when I looked back over the photos this morning, I was literally crying with laughter! Hello moon face.

So, what is this face mask you ask & why is it so different to normal face masks? Well, if we're getting all technical, its basically a clay mask that reacts to the partials in the air which makes it foam & create bubbles on your face. Fun eh?

It was amazingly priced I think, seeing as you can get quite a few uses from one pot. I bought mine from Amazon using Amazon Prime, so I received it the following day, priced at £10.48.

Oh & just look at that cute little pig! How could anyone resist this packaging?!

It even comes with a small spatula in the lid (a bit like an ice cream tub you get at the theatre!) which you use to apply the product to your face. As you can see, the instructions are all in Korean, but it's literally a case of applying the mask, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes & rinsing your face with warm water.

The most difficult part of using this face mask is how quick you need to be! After opening the lid & snapping a few pictures, I could already see the clay forming small bubbles on the surface, so I quickly applied it to my face, but it had already started bubbling away on one of my cheeks before I could finish fully applying it!

This photo was literally taken after I had finished applying it & you can already see a lot of bubbles on my face. I really wasn't prepared for how bubbly the mask would become..

This is after 10 minutes! I was actually a bit panicky that it was going to take over my whole face & go into my eyes & mouth (it has already started going up my nose!) as it just seemed to keep expanding the longer I left it!

I removed it shortly after this with a warm flannel & moisturized my skin. I've read in a few reviews that some people let it foam up & rub the bubbles into their face & then remove after 10 minutes completely, which I'm going to try next time I use the face mask.

So here's what the product claimed it would do;

- Remove stubborn impurities & dead skin cells leaving the complexion deeply cleansed

- Provide the vitality the skin needs

- Leave the skin feeling soft

I have to say I would agree that it does all these things & pretty damn well too! I'm amazed at how soft it left my skin feeling. As soon as I removed the bubbles & clay underneath, my skin looked & felt so fresh. I absolutely loved using this mask & will definitely be re-purchasing it in the future once I've finished my existing pot. I think it would be great for a pamper evening with the girls as it was such a laugh to use!

What is your favourite face mask at the moment?

I'm really getting into my skin care at the moment, so would love to hear your thoughts on this mask & any others you recommend me trying : )

Dragon's Egg

Just want to start by saying, thankyou for your all beautiful comments you left on my previous post, they meant alot to me. : )

So, on to my actual post. The other day I bought another bath bomb from Lush called Dragon's Egg. You might have seen my other post about another bath bomb they have, called Mrs Whippy I wrote a few weeks back. I love Lush bath bombs, you never know what to expect when you pop them in the bath! So here's what happened.. : )

Packaging / the bath bomb before it got wet!

The bath bomb when it went in the bath

When I first put the bath bomb into the water - it produced alot of white foam & fizzed around in circles. You can see in the right hand picture, the orange colour starting to come through.

This next bit was the best ever, yes I squealed. : )

The bomb started to fizz around like a little rocket leaving a golden trail of bubbles behind it, so cute!

Once the 'yolk' of the egg stopped whizzing around, it fizzed on the spot & produced orange foam.

This then mixed with the white foam from the 'shell' of the egg & turned the water to an orangy white marble colour.

The final surprise of all was when the 'yolk' had finished fizzing & produced lots of golden glitter! I came out the bath shimmering! : )

I have to say, I loved this bomb! It was so fun & smelt gorgeous. It's a mixture of orangy flowers & lemon in my opinion. The only downside is you have to wash out the bath after using it as all the glitter gets stuck on the bottom & sides. It cost £2.99 from Lush. I'm definitely getting this one again.

Anyone tried this one before & loved it as much as me? : )



Mrs Whippy

Hey girls! How are you all?

I just wanted to show you this gorgeous bath bomb I got last week from Lush. It's called Mrs Whippy.

I was drawn to it because of the gorgeous colour & shape of the bomb, I love how it resembles the top of an ice cream. : )

This is what happened when I dropped it in the bath. It started to fizz & a lot of white foam came out of it. While it was fizzing around, it actually flipped over. You can see in the above right picture the bottom is a very gorgeous shade of pink that fizzed madly as soon as it got in the water.

It then split into two sections, the bottom was totally pink & the top layer was white. The pink was alot bubblier & continued to fizz around the bath while the white kind of stayed & bubbled on the spot.

This was the bath when the bomb had nearly completely dissolved. It turned the water a gorgeous pink / white colour. I actually love this bomb, it's the first time I've tried it but it left my skin feeling really soft & smooth.

Have you tried any Lush bombs that you'd recommend? : )

Raspberry & Blackberry

  It feels like forever since I last posted, even though it was less than a week ago! How is everyone? : D

 

  This is my gorgeous Hello Kitty Pete & Leia bought me back from Spain. They won it in one of those grabby machines you get on the beach. : ) So cute.

  Anyway, I went shopping on Monday & got these two gorgeous products, one's a shower gel & the other one a body butter from the I Love... range.

Shower gel

£2.03 - Superdrug

I literally love this product - it smells so gorgeous I actually want to eat it! I actually first smelt these flavours when my friend ordered a raspberry & blackberry drink from Costa! Ever since I found a product that smelled like it, I've been addicted. : )

& this is the body butter, again, same flavour:

Body butter

£2.03 - Superdrug

You might have seen in my last post I did a review on Cocoa Butter Body Butter. This product is alot more.. moussey? Is that a word? Lol! It's more light & creamy if that makes sense. (I'm rubbish at describing products!)

This has a slightly stronger flavour than the shower gel but it just makes it even more yummy.

If you want to check out the other flavours have a look at their website. They say the products are mouth-watering.. so true! I'm tempted to get the bubble bath & lip balms!

Right my blog feed is literally backing up since Friday, so I'm off to read your gorgeous posts. Oh & people commented asking me how I found Pirates Of The Caribbean the other day. My opinion: it was exactly like the other three. I don't mean that's a bad thing, it just didn't jump out as the best one or the worse.. was just good. I'm seeing Water For Elephants tonight.. has anyone seen it? I've heard it's good. : )

ENTER MY GIVEAWAY!

ARGH NO - just tried commenting on your blogs & can't so I will when blogger decides it's going to be nice again. : ) xx

Cocoa Butter Body Butter Review

  Hello girls. How are you all?

  Quick note to start & say Alan (my car) passed his M.O.T, so I can now drive him legally again.  : ) YAY.

  Right, you might remember me doing a post a while back where I showed you the Body Butter I got from Tesco. Sorry the review is slightly late, but I totally forgot I was going to do one! : D

  Here is the product:

  Now, I've only been using this on my face & some rough areas on my body where the skin is quite dry, I use a moisturiser on the rest of my body as it's a lot easier to apply than body butter, being lighter & easier to spread. Try not to use too much, (mainly because you only need a small amount) just enough to cover the area you've chosen to apply it to.

  I usually apply it after I've come out the shower or/and at night after I've taken off my makeup so it can soak in over night. (You can apply it in the morning, I just find it easier do to it at night)

  Result: After using it for a few days, my skin does feel alot softer & smoother. I've had a few compliments from the smell as well which is always good! : ) I love the smell of cocoa butter, if you've never smelt it before, TRY IT! Seriously, it's gorgeous.

  The product costs around £5. (I did get it half price in Tescos the other week, no idea how long the offer is on for though)

  Have you tried this product? Or tried one similar you'd recommend? : )

  I'm seeing Pirates Of The Caribbean tonight with my friends, it looks really good & I do enjoy the films, but I get so confused whats going on.. I know that sounds silly but when I think back to number 2 & 3 I can't even remember which bits are in which film.. hahaha. I think they're all going to be sick of me whispering "What's going on?!" every 5 minutes! LOL. : )

Oh & one to follow: Nichole. I've just found her blog & it's amazing. She's having a giveaway too, so check it out on her blog! & my favourite post of hers, her penguin nail tutorial is just awesome, definately going to try that at some point. : ) xx

I Can Totally 100% Say..

  ..newspaper nails are not for me. I didn't realise how messy they are to do & my fingers stink of Tia Maria as it was the only alcohol I could find in the house, even after 10mins of scrubbing my hands they still smell. Urgh, I'm sooo not trying that again!

  Anyway, I managed to finally go swimming yesterday for the first time in ages, maybe since last year, with my best friend. We went quite late so it was lovely & quiet & we had a natter while being pulled around the rapids. (not proper swimming lengths - more like relaxing in bikinis!) We then went on to Tescos as a random trip & ended up buying jaffa cake cakes & strawberry cables. : )

  So while we were in Tescos, I managed to pick these two items up.

  The body butter was half price, so I think it was around £2.50 instead of £5 & the lipbalm was £1.99. My friend recommended the cocoa flavour & I love the smell of it. So gorgeous. I'll do a proper review on it when I've tried it for a week, to see if it actually makes any difference to my skin.

  Did anyone watch the final of Great British Hairdresser on Monday? I was so annoyed James didn't win. He so deserved it. >.<

  I also got a beautiful cardigan from a charity shop yesterday for £4.20, which I'm sure will be in my next outfit post. Right, I'm off to catch up on all your blogs & a bit of 90210. : )
