NO CLOGS ALLOWED! SOAP&GLORY FACE-MASK REVIEW

In my stocking this year, I was lucky enough to receive this SUPER SELF HEATING DEEP PORE DETOX MASK by SOAP&GLORY. 

Now I love a good face mask, for my spot prone, oily-combination skin. I like the feeling of a deep cleanse, knowing I've done my best to rid the pores of any 'clogs'... excuse the pun.

For 100ml, and only needing a small amount, I'm pretty certain that this mask would last you a while, so even though the price isn't ridiculous, (although a lot more than those £1.00 masks) it is definitely worth the money. 

This mask is originally £11.50, but you can get it on offer for £8.50 here. This will last a limited time only, but Boots always have great deals on. 

So as you can see, this is a weekly mask, and gives you easy directions to follow.
And even though it says use a 'grape sized dab', I recommend about 3 'grape sized dabs' for a fairly thick coverage all over the skin.
When you start massaging this product into your skin with dry hands, you really do feel a super heating effect, it's not at all painful, but you can really feel the heat. There is also small, soft grains t help exfoliate while you rub, to get rid of dead cells, and help clean.
Then you slightly wet your hands and rub further, the product will then turn a pale blue colour and you know the mask has been activated.
Even though it says keep on for 5 minutes, I lost track of time and probably had it on for 10.

No this is not an alien, this is a delightful picture of my face. Please excuse the red eyes due to a sleepless night, sob.
I used this mask when I had just woken up to refresh my face.
I really enjoyed it as well. Because I have only used it once, I haven't noticed a great difference in skin condition, but it did feel soft and deeply cleansed.

After use, I followed up with my favourite moisturiser, the AVEDA botanical kinetics hydrating lotion, and then my skin was fully prepped for the day.

So, all in all I really liked the mask, I will continue to use it weekly, and in a month or so, I think I will blog a 'MY FAVOURITE FACE MASKS' blog, to compare what has worked best for me.

I really recommend this mask if you want a quick, but deep fix, leaving your skin with a nice refreshed and replenished finish.

I hope this was useful
See you soon,

Resolutions... Hmmm

'ELLO 'ELLO 'ELLO,

Every year I give myself 4/5 resolutions, stick with them for 4/5 days and then give up.
Brilliant.

BUT 2014 WILL BE DIFFERENT I CAN FEEL THE MOTIVATION INSIDE ME

Lets get to it then:

Numero 1 ~ Be healthy. This includes trying to gym 3 times a week, juicing daily (WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING GUYS), cutting carbs down, eating less chocolate because the amount i ate over christmas is literally unbelievable... I want to physically get fitter, not lose weight, but really tone up for that - ergh - ''summer bod'' (however I am the palest ghostly person so I look like a glowing milk bottle in summer and should be shipped off to the North Pole which is just fabulous as I hate the cold)

Numero 2 ~ Be cleaner. NOT MYSELF BTW, I am very together on the personal hygiene, just want to make that clear! What I mean is keep my room in a better state, get all my make up, clothes organised. Get college work and revision notes organised and yeah... we'll see about that one.

Numero 3 ~ Start a blog. Tah-Dah... I've been ready blogs, watching vlogs pretty much addicted to youtube vids as well for years and just really wanted to do it. So here we are.

I thought these three were enough to keep me going, they are actually do-able so I'll probably get back to you in February and tell you how I'm doing (gahh)...

See you soon,
Love Zoe xx

A Little Warm Welcome

Hello everyone,
My names Zoe and I've decided as my new years resolution is to do a big 'ole cleanse. What I mean by that is too... juice daily (at least two meals... maybe just one), eat more healthily in general, no more Mcdonnalds and selection boxes and to get down the gym at least 3 times a week.
Not only that but I will be cleansing the boring stuff too (like a huge room clean and sort out, college notes and revision, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about all that).

BUT, because of this new change I thought I'd start up a blog, so that you guys can get some inspiration, encouragement and also to motivate me, as I am quite easily distracted (and yes I will tell you if I make a few slip ups)...
I will be taking you through what I have done to get into shape and just make me a more healthy person by uploading pictures, juice and meal recipes and other bits and bobs too.

A little side note: I am a beauty blog obsessor, those who idolise Zoella, Tanya, Fleur, Ingrid, Claudia, Louise etc will understand where I'm coming from, so I thought it was only fair to let me beauty blog along the way. As it has just been christmas I have received some luxurious skin care and make up, and I'll review and show you how to use/wear the products and we'll see how this all goes...

So, as a little summery, I will be posting on beauty, skincare, health, fashion and just a little of everything you need.

See you in 2014! Have a happy new year!

Zoe xx
