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 💛

Pure Clay Detox Mask by L'Oreal


I'm not the type of girl who has a regimented skincare routine. I haven't tried any sort of mask before...really all I do is use moisturiser consistently. But recently I have been so inspired by so many beautiful girls that I just really wanted to give skincare a go. 

I thought L'Oreal was a safe option because I had already heard and read a truckload of reviews about how great their clay masks were. I soon found out that L'Oreal did 3 types of clay masks - Detox, Glow and Purity. I found the Detox and Glow mask appealing so I decided to order these ones. 

What is a Pure Clay Detox?

Below is a description provided by L'Oreal. 

"For the first time, the L'Oréal Paris laboratories have selected three pure clays and combined them with charcoal, which acts like a magnet to draw out impurities. The creamy texture detoxifies the skin's surface by cleansing deep into the pores, leaving the skin looking clarified and beautified without drying it out."

Thoughts

 Scent

 The first thing I noticed about the mask was the scent. Even before opening the packaging, I could smell a strong scent from the mask. There was nothing negative about the smell but if you are someone who dislikes strong scents then this may off-putting.  

Application, Recommended Wear-Time + Results

 I applied the mask with my fingers which was fast. You may want to apply with your brush if you don't like getting your hands messy. I removed the mask with warm water as instructed and dried my face with a facial towel as instructed. 

 L'Oreal recommend to keep the mask on for 5 -  10 minutes. I chose to ignore this and left the mask on for about an hour. My skin lacks a natural glow - hence the longer wear-time. You can also adapt the duration of the mask to your skin type. 

 Upon removing the mask, I didn't notice anything dramatically different about the skin. However it was until a few hours later when my skin started to look brighter with a subtle glow. Keeping in mind this was after only one use. I went on to use the mask 2 more times later on the week and my complexion appeared to be more even and brighter. 




Pricing

All 3 of the clay masks are priced at £7.99 (9.10€/$10.18) but right now they are all on offer for £6 at Superdrug. For this price you get 50ml of product, which according to L'Oreal allows for 10 applications. Personally I feel like I will get a lot more applications because I do not have many problem areas on my face.(And because my face is small)

 Final thoughts

 I would recommend this mask to a beginner in skincare like myself. This is due to many factors - one of the most important being it is priced affordably which is great for people who do not want to spend excessive amounts on skincare. The instructions are also clearly stated on the box, easy to follow as nothing extensive needs to be done. 

 Thank you for reading! 

 Much love,

 Tanjima 💋
