Chocolate Masque

Doesn't that title sound yummy?

Yum. By the way, I am using my new camera :) 

Hello! So it's been awhile but I want to talk about a new masque I tried. I actually tried it today :) I'm sure most of you have heard of these masques by Montagne Jeunesse. You can find them anywhere really. I picked this one up at Ulta a few weeks ago. It took me awhile to use it because I only use masque's once a week and I was/still using one my Giovanni (check out that post here). So if I had known that this one smelt so good I would've started using it sooner. So a few things about this companies product: it is cruelty free (BUAV certified) and vegetarian.

Cruelty-free and vegetarian

How awesome is that? Also, it is very budget friendly. Because even when you are on a budget you probably still want to treat yourself and let's be honest, LUSH is an amazing company that also makes face masque's but it isn't ideal for the girl on a budget. Or even if you are new to trying face masque's this is a good one to start off with.

Let me start off the major details of it by saying this: It smells like chocolate. Not like that weird fake smell but actual candy bar chocolate. You can't go wrong with that. Just don't try to eat! I'm sure it doesn't taste like candy. This particular masque is for dry skin/ t-zone. T-zone meaning you tend to break out along the forehead down the center of your face. And of course, knowing me, I didn't look at which type I picked up until I got home. Luckily my biggest issue is in the t-zone. It says to wet face with warm water then apply. Make sure you read the back for what to do because some say to apply dry and some say to apply when face is wet. This mask is supposed to hydrate, deep clean pores and an anti-stress. I can agree that the smell of chocolate is de-stressing. I let it on for about 10 minutes and it got very hard. I personally can't tell if my pores are cleaner perse but I do feel like my face is more moisturized.

A real awkward bathroom selfie. The models did it better. 

This definitely a product that I would repurchase and would recommend to others. It is great for those who are on a budget, trying to/are cruelty-free shoppers, strictly vegetarian product users, or for those that like chocolate. 

Have you tried this masque before or another one like it or by this company? Let me know! I would love to hear what you think or your reviews. :)

Hydroxatone BB cream review

Hydroxatone BB cream

Hello! So recently I had put in an order with Ulta. I had ordered a few things and they were doing a promotion of sorts. The promotion was: spend 'x' amount of money and get a free make up bag full of sample goodies! The samples ranged from make up to moisturizer to shampoo and so on. So it was definitely a deal I could not pass up. One of the sample was Hydroxatone BB cream. (as seen above)

I've never really tried BB cream before. 1) It's a bit on the expensive side 2) I try really hard not to put on layers of make up. My skin will break out if I do. And who wants that? So I thought you know what? It's a free sample I'll try it and see how my skin takes to it. So far no break outs! Hallelujah! It's very light on the skin and hardly noticeable once blended.

Please excuse my vainy hand! This is what the product looks like on my skin (top)

It is in medium. I didn't get to pick the color for the products. It definitely suits my skin tone even though I'm never in the "medium" area.
On the back it says it is a multi-benefit formula. The benefits include:
1) Advance anti-aging technology
2) Protection
3) Immediate perfecting coverage

I can not say whether or not the first one is true. I mean I've only been using it for a week. And you know, aging is something that is noticeable over a few years...so.
Also, it has SPF 40 in it. Which is a big deal to me. I'm really into SPF and think more people need to become aware of how beneficial it is. Even if you live in a place that rains more than 365 days a year. You should still put on some SPF.

All in all, I love this product. It's definitely something I would recommend to someone with sensitive skin (or not) and to anyone who just wants coverage!

I hope you enjoyed this review.
Talk to you soon!
Bye
