GLAMGLOW - Youth Mud Mask

GLAMGLOW - Youth Mud Mask



Quite awhile ago, GlamGlow kindly reached out to me wanting to send me a sample of one of their masks. I obviously said YES as I was already considering to purchase one of their masks soon after hearing so much about them. The delivery was super fast, the mask arrived within 3 - 4 days which of course made me very happy! 😄

Youth Mud Tingle Exfoliate Treatment

This is the mask that GlamGlow decided to send me. (I wonder if they were hinting something at me haha) What I adore about this product is that it is unisex which means - both men and women are able to use it. 

This is the description GlamGlow provide on their website:


"Originally designed as a 10-minute professional 'facial in a jar' for behind-the-scenes use in Hollywood's Entertainment, Music, Fashion & Award industries. YOUTHMUD® provides gentle resurfacing exfoliation and helps to leave skin smoother, brighter, and softer resulting in immediate camera-ready glowing skinFor Men & Women. Get your Youthful Sexy Glow back in just 10 minutes. YOUTHMUD® for Super Sexy Super Radiant Skin. "

Application
GlamGlow recommend applying a layer of the mask to fresh, clean skin. They make it aware that a tingling sensation will be felt soon after. Circular motions should carried out when removing the mask so that the face is exfoliated.  The mask should be used twice a week minimum. 
Results

Personally on my face this mask did not yield the best results. It took longer than 10 minutes to dry even though I made sure I applied as much needed for my face. It honestly felt like toothpaste for the skin. The mask did make my face feel refreshed, but after a minute I felt a strong burning sensation. I was tempted to take the mask off but I kept it on and the burning dulled down little after awhile. I am not sure if the burning indicated that the mask was working but it did feel uncomfortable so I am unlikely to purchase the full size. My face did not react badly to the mask - no breakouts, redness or skin damage. However, I would not recommend this mask to anyone who has sensitive or acne/breakout prone skin. I feel like the mask would cause breakouts to flare up? 

The formula is chunky with green plants inside. (Seaweed?! 🤣) I am not sure what purpose these provide - other than making me look like a sea creature haha 😂

I would recommend this mask to people who have an oily skin type (This was just ill-suited for my dry complexion) I saw no difference to my skin but it did feel tighter and refreshed. 

Thank you to anyone who has read my post!!! I know skincare can be a little boring for some people, but I am slowly working my way into it + will try making it interesting for you guys!  Please tell me any products or topics you would like a post on.

Love Tanji 💛

Products I Can't Live Without

Products I Can't Live Without



Hi, Hello! I know, I know...I abandoned my blog but I am back this time for good 😊 This time, I am here to show you my 'Holy Grail' products which will always remain in my collection.

Eyes

The first two products I want to show you have been life-changing for me. And luckily they are also affordable. These are the Essence Superfine Eyeliner Pen (£2) + the Super Precise Eyeliner (£2.30). I have been using these liners in conjunction with each other for over a year now and will continue to repurchase them over + over. (Yes! They're that good 😍 )



I use the Superfine pen to line my eyes and use the Super Precise liner to create my wing. This is my technique to create a perfect wing and luckily using these amazing products help me achieve that goal. 

My favourite youtuber - Tati (GlamLifeGuru) also swears by Essence eyeliners. 

Face

For a natural glowy base, I love using the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer (£10.99) to create the illusion of an inner glow for my face. I would recommend this product for anyone to use, one of my friends has an oily skin type and she actually suggested for me (I have DRY skin) to try this out. 



To perfect my skin tone and bring back colour to my face, I use the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Foundation (£10.99) in the shade 140 (Golden Beige) I have always preferred using a slightly darker foundation for a healthier look to my face. This foundation does oxidise, so I would suggest purchasing a lighter shade. If you like a natural, buildable and medium coverage finish foundation then this is for you. I usually customise the coverage depending if I want a 'full beat' 😋 or if I'm in a natural mood. 


Lips


The final product is the Dose of Colors lipstick (16$) in the shade 'More Creamer Please.' This was part of a collaboration with Desi Perkins + Katy (Lustrelux) Fortunately, this lipstick along with a few others are still available on the website. I really urge everyone to try at least one product from this range because everything was BOMB.  🎇 




On the DOC website it is describe as a 'Deeper nude with brown/peach undertone. ' On me, this definitely runs peachy so I like to use on the centre of my lips to create an ombre effect.

If you love a creamy lipstick with a satin finish then this lipstick fits the bill. I personally don't like using traditional lipsticks that are fully matte so when I tried this it was perfect. This is for sure the best lipstick formula I have ever tried - YOU NEED IT! If you want me to swatch this then please DM me on Instagram + I'll gladly send you a picture! 


 So that's it for my favourite products! 😉 I hope you enjoyed reading + please be sure to let me now if you end use any of the products listed above (or if you already do so) I tried keeping the post as short as I could because I have a tendency to ramble on (Oops

But until next time - Tanji 💛
