The mask comes in a white bottle and has a pump, which makes using it so easy and you don't get any bacteria into it. The texture of the mask is thick cream and its nourishing mask. Its perfect for anyone who has super dry skin.

How to use:
Its recommended to use once or twice a week. After opening it, its advised to keep it in the fridge. When you use it the first time keep it on 3 minutes, so your skin gets use to it. Otherwise I keep it on 7 to 10 minutes and use it once a week. I rinse it of with warm water and my skin is left hydrated, plump and overall brighter. Down below you can see the before and after pictures. 

                       



I'm very impressed with this mask. I love how it makes my skin look and feel, and I know its full of amazing ingredients, which are good for my skin. I also like the packaging is simple and they have put more importance whats inside the packaging then the outside.

If you want to check it out for yourself, you can find it here and they have a lot of information available about their products and whats inside, which I like.

Review: Bellápierre Shimmer 9 Stack | Glamorous




Hi loves! Sorry for missing last week's post, but my life is crazy at the moment. I have hard time keeping up with my other blog and I just feel stressed. But this week I took time off and here I am with a new review. Today we are talking about Bellápierre Shimmer 9 Stack in Glamorous ($90.00) and I have reviewed one before, which where their Shimmer Powders (review). 

The Glamour 9 Stack contains only glitters. There is 9 glitters, which come in a clear packaging and they are stacked up on each other. Its a great way to store it and to travel with it, because it doesn't make a mess. I haven't had any issues using it. If you are afraid of a mess when working with loose glitters or eyeshadows, put a towel under the shadows when you open them, so when something does come out it will go on the towel.

I love the shades they have included in this set. There is something for every occasion. There is light shades and also more bold shades. With these there is a change you get fall out, so use them before you do your face makeup. I use NYX Glitter primer to apply these and a tamp flat eyeshadow brush. The glitter primer has tacky base and the glitter stays on and doesn't move around. I also used it on swatches which you can see down below.


I usually go more to the lighter shades, because the bolder ones are too strong for day time :D Yes, I wear glitter in my everyday life. If I wait for special occasion I can't wear it as much as I want. I love the selection of this set and if you are looking a good glitter set I would recommend it. I know its pricy, but I trust Bellápierre as a company and I haven't had any issues with any of their products, including these glitters. If you are interested you can check it out here.

Review: Innisfree Its Real Squeeze Mask | Rose


Hi loves! Sorry for missing last week's post. I have had super stressful period. I'm moving to other country and at the same time I constantly have to travel to France from Belgium. Life has been more complicated the usual. I have hard time finding the time to just sit down and write. Anyway this week's post is on Innisfree Its Real Squeeze Mask Rose (20ml, $0.79). 


The mask comes in a beautiful packaging and has roses on it. The mask itself also smells like roses. It claims to give supple and radiant skin, which we all want. The mask had nice amount of essence on it and it fit well. It was bit big around the mouth area. This is triple layer sheet mask and that means it helps the essence gradually sink into the skin and its  more  moisturizing. The rose in it provides moisture to the skin and makes it supple and smooth. The jeju green complex consists green tea, tangerine, cactus camemllia leaves and orchids to keep the skin healthy. 

I applied it on cleansed skin, after applying toner. I kept the mask on 20 minutes, which is the max recommended time. After the time was up, I removed the mask and let the essence sink into the skin. My skin felt after the mask refreshed, soft, smooth and hydrated. Down below you can see the before and after pictures.


Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethanol, Betaine, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Rosa Centifolia Juice (200mg), Xanthan Gum, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tangerine Peel Extract, Orchid Extract, The green Tea Extract, Camellia Leaf Extract, Prickly Pear Extract, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

It does contain fragrance, so it might irritate sensitive skin. I personally didn't have any irritations, but I don't have sensitive skin myself. 


Would I buy it again? Yes I would! Its affordable, does great job making my skin looking radiant and it smells like roses.  If you are interested you can find it on RoseRoseShop (link).


Have you tried any of their skincare before?
