Face Mask Monday

Bonjourno,

This is only my first actual beauty post and I know i'l have done a lot of beauty blog 'faux pas' but bare with me and hopefully I will learn along the way.

Now I know theirs this thing called 'Face Mask Friday' in the beauty blog world but Hey I like to be different and I'd rather do any type of face mask at the beginning of the week in order to restore my face from all the make up that would have been caked on it from the weekend, and believe me thats a lot of damage!! 

Now I love face masks and I'l be the first to admit that I don't take as best care for my skin as what i should e.g. those cheeky Saturday nights where you fall asleep from a drunken night out and havnt totally wiped all that stubborn make up off, but that's what I love about face masks usually if you find a good one they can restore a bit of the damage. Theirs nothing better than shopping in Superdrug, Boots etc and buying a handful of face masks to try out but recently I have found a lot of the brands in Boots/Superdrug to just not have that kind of shazam I've been looking for. However, one day when browsing through Home Bargains of all places I came across these beautiful Asian inspired face masks in such lovely professional looking packaging. The one i picked up was 'Facial Cream Mask - Lemon Peel Off' Now whether they're as good as they look and have all the nice properties they claim to have I dont know, but for 69p who can go wrong. 

What the face mask says?; 'Lemon Cream Mask is bursting with reviving properties that help to clean, tone and rejuvenate skin. Lemon, Rosemary and other botanical extracts give you instantly smother, clearer and refreshed skin'

After applying the face mask the first thing i noticed was the heavenly smell that it gave off. Imagine the smell you get from a fresh baked Lemon Drizzle Cake, exactly that!! I did notice however how quickly you have to act when using this mask, it seems to start hardening almost straight away once it comes into contact with the skin making it all taunt. Now I love the feeling of peel off masks and how it feels when your skin is all tight, it feels like your skin is going through a renew process but this felt a little bit too tight, but maybe that's a good thing and its penetration into the pores to get rid of all the nastiness.

After the 20 minutes were up it felt so good to actually take the mask off but I noticed compared to other masks it pulled the skin an awful lot an only way i can describe as sticking selotape to your face. On the whole though I really liked this mask and afterwards my skin felt so lovely, clean and fresh. I think i will definitely have to give the rest of the range a go and for only 69p you can probably buy the whole range for less than £6.

What do you think of the Refresh and Revive range, any good or just a cheap sham? Would love to know your opinions.

Ciao Bellas.
