Review : Annie's Way Aloe Anti-Acne Jelly Mask

Hello there!

A nice quick review today! Today I decided to review the Annie's Way Aloe Anti-Acne Jelly Mask, as I know CutiePieMarzia and bubzbeauty who I love on Youtube are both fans of Annie's Way, and I have been having pretty awful skin right now, so I bought the Acne mask hoping it would help me out.

I think this product is lovely, I love the aloe smell and how cooling it is for the hot weather, especially when you stand under the air conditioning like I like to do. The jelly feels really nice on the skin, and it's pretty fun to apply with the little spatula I was sent along with the product. It feels like your face is a cake and you're icing yourself, which I find extremely fun. The product does dry a tin bit in areas where it isn't applied in a thick layer, but it isn't uncomfortable apart from that.

I honestly haven't been using it for long enough to say that it has changed my skin dramatically, but I'm sure if my skin gets sensitive after a swim or extended periods of sun exposure it should help with cooling and calming it back down again. It contains nice ingredients such as sea weed, hyaluronic acid and of course aloe, so it is calming but does it's job.

I bought mine on Yesstyle, it wasn't super expensive and there is a lot of product in the tub.

I think this is a great product and there are so many different variations of it that I would love to try out. I've got my eye on the honey one, the lavender one and the rose one!

Au Revoir!

November Favourites

It's finally nearly December! Time for my November favourites!

1. Dove Foaming Make Up Remover

This product is really good at taking off face makeup, but with mascara it can be a bit hard to remove. I like how it feels on my skin, and I like that it lathers up nicely. I like that it has a hygienic pump. Overall, a nice product!

2. Reef After Sun Repair Gel

Since it's getting a lot hotter and I'm going swimming and outdoors more often, have an after sun care product is an essential. I got this one for free at a surf shop, and I like that it's a super quick dry gel rather than a cream, because you can apply lots of cooling layers. The scent is quite nice, I'm not even going to try and pinpoint it, but it's a nice minty, aloe kind of smell.

3. Tony Moly Mini Bunny Hand Cream

This little hand cream was a last minute buy on Yesstyle, and I'm really glad I picked it up. It's the perfect size for handbags and the smell is a really nice subtle floral. It isn't really greasy and it dries pretty quickly. The packaging is also super sweet, so it's all round just a really nice product to have for on the go.

4. L'Oreal False Lash Architect Mascara in Waterproof

I mentioned this product in my Daily Face post, and it has honestly grown on me so much since I've paid attention to what it does. It contains fibres, as I was not aware of, so it really extends my lashes and makes them nice and dark. It is quite hard to get off, especially with the aforementioned make up foam remover, but the results are worth it.

5. The Body Shop Glazed Apple Eau De Toilette

I haven't had this all month, but it smells SO GOOD! I am absolutely in love with the Christmas scents from The Body Shop and I'm hoping to get some things for Christmas. If you haven't already, I highly recommend going in and having a smell!

So there we have it! A few of my favourites from November! I hope you're all as excited for December as I am!

My Daily Face

Hello everyone! Very long time and no see! School has absolutely swamped me and honestly I totally forgot how much fun I have blogging. I started a new blog : http://styleiridescence.blogspot.com.au/ if anyone is interested. It's been over two years since I last posted on this blog! Sorry everyone!

So tonight, while I can't sleep and I feel overly productive, I thought I would show you what I like to put on my face on a daily basis. I don't necessarily love all these products, but it's just the routine I've recently gotten into. Enjoy!

P.S. I do apologise if the lighting is bad and doesn't do the products justice. I'm a night owl.

Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish Moisturiser

This product I think it quite nice, it's light, doesn't leave an oily feeling on my face but because I have such awful skin it tends to dry it out a bit. Other than that, it's a nice daily moisturiser and the smell isn't too bad considering it have zinc in it.

Revlon New Complexion Oil Control Makeup

I have to say, this makes my skin a thousand times oilier than it already is. I usually love Revlon face makeup, but this one is quite disappointing. I like that it's SPF 20, but that's probably the only upside to this product. Whenever I touch my face, it goes everywhere and I really have to load up on powder for it to look dewy. Don't recommend this for people with oily skin, but for now I can handle it so I haven't wasted my money. I have the shade 02 Buff and it suits my skin tone well.

Bourjois Bronzing Powder + Highlighter Duo

I am currently really liking this product, that's why mine looks so mangled. I think it can be layered and the shimmer in it is nice and subtle. Of course, the smell is amazing and I don't even like chocolate that much (don't hate me..). The highlighter side doesn't seem to do that much, but I'm not a regular user of highlighter. I'm not sure if it comes in different shades, but mine says 55 on the cover.

 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

My staple powder that I'll buy forever. I have the shade 001 Transparent and I love that you don't have to match your powder colour to your foundation colour with this and it doesn't make you look like a ghost in photos. A must for any drug store makeup user.

Ladykin Real Like Innateline Eyebrow Stick

I like this product, but I do have to say I didn't pick the right shade for me. I chose Dark Brown but I should've gone for a lighter shade. I can get away with using this product however as you can apply it really lightly and still get a nice look. I like that it have a spoolie on one end, very helpful.

L'Oreal False Lash Architect Waterproof Mascara

I think this mascara does great things for my lashes, it makes them look slightly longer and nice and dark, but the formula is slightly clumpy and the brush doesn't help this. It's also incredibly hard to get off more so than any other waterproof mascara I've used, I don't use regular mascara as I'm prone to hayfever and just being a sensitive soul. I think it's nice but there are equally great mascaras at better prices.

Lip Products : Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm and Burt's Bees Lip Balm

These two products are my go to easy application school lip colours. The Covergirl one (in a colour I can't remember, it's got berry in the name though) adds a nice fresh touch to my makeup, but does tend to dry up after a little while. It's easy to apply though and doesn't smudge and budge. The Burt's Bees lip balm is one of the best lip balms I've owned. I have owned the peppermint and mango variations, but I really love the smell coconut and pear makes, I never knew they could smell so lovely together. It's very smooth and hydrating and doesn't disappoint.

Brushes I Use : Real Techniques

(From Front to Back Pictured)

Unfortunately my editing program cut off the ends of the brushes. Sorry!

For my powder I use the lovely fluffy multi task brush. I just adore big fluffy brushes that are fun to use and make your face look even and light, not cakey.

For my liquid foundation I use the buffing brush which I am so happy I invested in. It helps my makeup to look much more flawless and blended.

For my bronzer I use the setting brush, which probably isn't the best brush to use for this but I find it is easier to use in the bronzer and it doesn't touch the highlighter when I'm getting the product on my brush. I will definitely invest in a larger bronzer brush in the future, but for now this works just fine.

So there you have it! My daily face, I hope you found some things you might want to try out.

 

Au Revoir!
