Today Im reviewing Lush – Cupcake {Fresh Face Mask}
/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7488-0.jpg

• Chocolate heaven for oily and teenage skin. Helps absorb excess oil and calm breakouts. coco butter, Linseed and cocoa powder soften with balancing peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils •

~Due to the fresh ingredients, you have to keep these face masks refrigerated.
~This mask has a quick expiration
~This mask is vegan
~If you bring back 5 of these little black empty pots, you’ll get a free face mask!

~My Thoughts~

Umm, This fresh face mask was designed for oily, troublesome skin. I know i have super”Dry” skin , and it’s certainly troublesome.

So following the instructions on the container, I made sure my face was clean and then used on my entire face, avoiding my eyes and mouth area,

Its smells “heaven of chocolate”
Ahhhhhhhhhh,exactly like wearing a tingly face mask of chocolate mint cupcake batter!

I usually let it dry by 10-15 mins,
And then rinsed it off with warm water …
..

I instantly felt my skin became much softer / clean , and more hydrated even though its not meant for dry skin.. Wow

After removing the mask you could still smell the chocolate mint 😍 yumm

Overall,I love this fresh mask,
•it doesn’t leave my skin dry
•its brightening – glowing but not as good as “Cosmetic Catastrophe”(My all time fav mask from lush)
•absorbs all excess oils.
•deep cleanses and takes dirt out of the pores.
I would definitely repurchase this but I really want to try every mask they have first

Do ask for the sample and try it out first before buying the full size product

Have you tried Cupcake?
What is your favorite LUSH product?

Much Love

Review : Murad Skincare

Hey Be.YOU.tifuls 😘

Im so excited to share my thoughts on one of my favorite skincare brands :

Oh yeah — its “Murad skincare”

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7137.jpg

I love love love their products ! It works wonder for me.
I have already tried the moisturizer but I forgot the name of it LOL .. And it was amazingly effective ❤️ but as some of you may know-I’m a beauty addict & I like to try new products and review about it, so never got a chance to repurchase it again!!

So, Lets get started:

What it says :
{ Environmental exposure creates a broad range of problem for your skin. Thats why this antioxidant-rich treatment is formulated to restore clarity, texture, elasticity and firmness,while fading pigmentation and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Murad’s patented infusion technology delivers pure vitamin-C directly into the skin for the maximum results. See a significant improvement in just one treatment }

•Essential-C Cleanser
•Advanced Active Radiance Serum
•Essential-C Day Moisture (spf-30 PA+++)

3 step Skincare Regimen:
1-Cleanse | Tone
2-Treat | Repair
3-Hydrate | Protect

Step – 1 : Cleanse
Product detail : Antioxidant vitamins A, C and E neutralize free radicals and other environmental aggressors while Phospholipids bind moisture to the skin. Essential C cleanser establishes a well-hydrated foundation for applications of the treatment product.

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7150.jpg

My thoughts:
A very gentle cleanser
Silky texture , I have dry to sensitive skin and it really does a good job,👍doesn’t dry out my already dry skin,
I even love the citrus smell & There’s tiny little orange ball inside the cleanser.
My skin has brightened and looks radiant and healthy in just a little over a week of using it! Its just amazing 👍

Step – 2 : Treat / Repair
Product Detail : Faster acting formula with double the brighteners boost radiance and reverses visible signs of environmental damage. Preserve clarity and defend against future damage for lasting youthful radiance.

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7136.png       /home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/a39/76126945/files/2014/12/img_7149.jpg

My thoughts:
I am so so so impressed with this serum , I apply it right after i washed my face with the Essential-C Cleanser, its so gentle on my sensitive skin,I do have few blemishes around my cheeks and it did wonders on them , it started fading away/ improved my skintone.. Im so in love with this serum (little bit goes a long way)

Step – 3 : Hydrate / Protect
Product Detail: Increased Vitamin-C power and Spf in essential-C Day moisture Spf-30 provide powerful protection against environmental damage. Next generation vitamin-C and the patented skin repair system improve radiance, firmness and elasticity.

I love the way it keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. I just use pea size amount and spread it all over my face/neck..and again love the light scent of citrus. It also has SPF -30 which is great because I’m not a “separate sunscreen” person,its perfect for normal /oily/dry skin as it feels very light on skin ❤️

✨Overall, It reduced my blemishes and evened my skin stone – in less than 1 week of use, day and night. It made my skin much soften and felt fantastic
I also feel that This product has reduced my pore size …but more than anything I love how it creates even beautiful/healthy looking skin

Beauty Hacks : Tea Tree Oil

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

Hey Lovelie
Today’s post is on
~ How do I use tea tree “essential” oil ~
First of all lets put some light on whats tea tree oil ~
Tea tree oil Is also known as “Melaleuca oil” It has been used for centuries by cultures around the world to heal wounds.

IMG_6697-2.PNG

IMG_6698-1.PNG
Its: antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, cicatrisant, expectorant, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant and sudorific substance.

Wow!! Sounds super HG right ?! 😀 Ands smells great too The magical healing and disinfectant properties that is in the oil can be used as a cure for almost all tropical infections and diseases!!
✨How i use it ✨

Acne :
one of the best home remedies for acne.Tree oil has powerful antibacterial properties ,Just apply a drop of this wonderful oil straight on your pimple using a Q-tip before going to bed (do it for couple of nights) and see your acne healing. (Don’t apply Tea Tree oil all over your skin, target only your acne breakouts.) You can also add about 10 drops of the antibacterial Tea Tree oil to your regular face wash.

Muscles pain :
Tea tree essential oil can provide relief from muscular pain, aches, and sprains because its strong chemical properties can work as an anti-inflammatory (add few drops into your bathtub and just relax for good 10-15 minutes)

Flu :
Diffuse through the air, add a drop to the pillow, or gently massage into the feet to absorb the properties into the blood stream quickly.

Colds:
Treat the common cold by inhaling steam infused with the oil, or massage into the feet and over the chest or other areas of concern.

Brush Cleansing:
effectively and safely disinfects and cleans your brushes quickly & kill germs .Add two drop of tea tree oil per 1/4 cup of warm or hot water in your container of choice and soak or spray your tools. Rinse with sterile water and let dry.

Dandruff cure :
Tea Tree oil benefits include dandruff cure.Tea Tree oil has been used as an effective treatment for dandruff for many years. Just add a few drops of Tea Oil mixed in with your usual shampoo; wash and rinse out as usual.

Dry/Itchy Eyes:
 Although no essential oil should ever be put IN the eye, you can still benefit from the oil by diffusing it or placing your head over a steaming pot of water with a drop of melaleuca in it.

Facial Mist :
great face freshner , just after your workout
fill your spray bottle with rose water/drinking water & add 3-4 drops of tea tree essential oil … and spray it when you need that freshness kick … ( you can use this as your DIY homeMade Deo too) 😉

❤

However, it is not meant to be ingested, and is poisonous. It is meant for topical application only!

I would like to officially announce that I am not a pro beauty expert 😀 but everything is based on my personal experience !

Hope you enjoy this post! Lots of Love Zeee !! ❤️
