As the temperature rises, lips go brilliantly bright.

Nice change for spring and summer, moving away from the reds I’ve worn this past winter.

Both lipsticks are satin finish which means it is neither matte or too creamy

The color is cool toned pink with a tiny hue of lavender, kinda pastel pink
      

Kate Moss : #37

I must say this color totally caught my eye
Its orangy-coral 😁 

really flattering shade for every skintone ❤️

Overall,

I love the Rimmel london Lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, I have almost all the colors from her collection..Both #35 & #37 goes well with loads of different make-up looks Day or night

it smells so good & the creamy formula feels comfortable on lips,
Perfect bright and fresh colors great for summer.

Best of Face mask – The Face Shop

~ Zahra S ~ 2 Comments

Today its all about face mask sheet and lip mask, so please bear with me 😛

IMG_2024

Face mask sheet are everywhere nowadays,
Its easy to apply and an  instant pamper session for your face ,
But they are really delicate so slapping them on in a rush is not a good idea. 

Here are my top 3 mask sheets from The Face shop

Baby face hydrogel Collagen mask
IMG_2693 IMG_2694

Description:

A gel mask Containing matine collagen and coenzyme Q10 to keep the skin firm and resilient. The Hydrogel mask imparts a sense of coolness and moisturization Steadily to soothe the skin and ease puffiness
Directions:
 •Wash face and apply toner,
•Pull out the masks, and remove the film on both sides.
•Carefully place it on the face.
•Remove the mask after 20-30 minutes of coolness and relaxed application.
My thoughts
IMG_2121
It has a silicon texture and very slimy,

And they’re actually really refreshing. If you popped one into the fridge for a couple hours it would be GLORIOUS and help shrink your pores !!
My face was quite moist  afterwards  
And relaxed by its coolness
But all the weirdness is totally worth the skin you’ll have after..

Ratings 5/5


Real nature Green tea mask
IMG_2696 IMG_2695

Description:
A hydrating & energizing mask sheer containing Green Tea extract to fill dry skin with refreshing and hydrating moisture 


My thoughts:

IMG_2701
The ghost mask ..hahah
Green tea Helps detox troublesome skin, they do come with their own set of benefits. it definitely Tighten pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines ,
They also won’t dry out the skin like a clay mask formula.
it was very cooling, gave me instant refreshment and smoothness 🙂
The masks are one-size-fits-all,
it’s best to lie down while they work their magic
After you remove the sheet, you can even leave the serum on as your moisturizer for the day.

And the best part is that they actually work and minimize your pores and leave your skin hydrated and with a lovely glow.

Ratings 4/5

• Once applied, keep in place for 15-20 mins, then discard and rub in the remaining collagen essence into your skin. Do not wash your face or apply any other products (moisturizer, serum, etc.) — just allow the  mask sheet to penetrate your pores and enjoy the instant results: brighter, tighter, more radiant skin.


Lip mask
