FACE

This facial roller is my favourite beauty tool of 2021! It changed my life!

FRAGRANCES

Nina Ricci L’Extase Eau De Parfum

L’Extase is such a beautiful fragrance. It’s in my all-time top 40 from the past 25+ years.

Antonio Banderas Her Golden Secret Eau De Toilette

Who would have thought that Antonio Banderas fragrances are actually very good? I was surprised (almost shocked) to find such a quality fragrance at a drugstore price. Wow!

Agent Provocateur Fatale Eau De Parfum

Fatale EdP has blown me away! I already bought another bottle – this time I bought a big 100ml!

Superdrug Layering Lab Blossom Body Mist
Superdrug Layering Lab Paradise Body Mist

Superdrug’s fantastic Layering Lab body mists resemble some of the most popular designer fragrances. Blossom is a dupe for Mugler’s Alien, and Paradise is a dupe for Olympéa.

Jayjun Pollution-Proof Refreshing Mask

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Jayjun Pollution-Proof Refreshing Mask. This mask promises to moisturise skin and to repel dust (?). I’m not sure what they meant to say. 🤷 Anyhoo, this face mask is loaded with botanical extracts, and you’re supposed to use it after you’ve cleansed your face. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes, then follow with your normal skin care.

I’ve given this mask a try, and I think it’s very good! The mask itself is light green, and the essence is clear. I found this mask to be deeply hydrating and very refreshing. I liked that the mask didn’t feel sticky, and I loved that it plumped up my skin. Based on my experience, I’d recommend this face mask! If my local TK Maxx has any of these left when the store reopens, I’ll stock up!

Jayjun Pollution-Proof Refreshing Mask is available as a pack of 5 x 27ml face masks. I paid £3.99 (TK Maxx).

Jayjun Pollution-Proof Luminous Mask

Hi there! Welcome to face mask week! This week I’ll be posting about face masks only, and today’s post is about this Jayjun Pollution-Proof Luminous Mask with niacinamide 😍, pro-vitamin B5 and lots of botanical extracts. This mask promises to brighten skin and to repel dust. I’ve seen a few funny translations, but this is my favourite so far. 😂

I’ve given this mask a try, and I found it very enjoyable. The essence is similar to Olay’s original pink Beauty Fluid – maybe a bit thicker. It’s hydrating, it made my skin feel soft, and I would agree that it’s mildly brightening. This mask is on the stickier side, but it’s definitely OK considering how lovely this mask is.

Jayjun Pollution-Proof Luminous Mask is available as a pack of 5 x 27ml face masks. I paid £3.99 (TK Maxx).
