First Impressions / Mini Review - PS... Love to Glow Face Mask!



Hello my Beauties!

Today I have another product to share with you! This is from the new (I think its new anyway) PS... Love - Skincare range from Pennys/Primark. I just want to first say there will be a few reviews coming up on PS... Love Products, These have all been purchased with my own money & are not sponsered in anyway as I know currently many bloggers & youtubers have received promotion packages from Primark & are doing posts & videos about them. This is not the case here.  

Anyway today I am here today to share my thoughts and views on this little baby. I picked this up about 2 weeks ago, when it caught my eye just sitting there all lonely on the shelf haha. The reason it took me so long to try out was because although I love to try out new things I had a few events and whatnot coming up and when it comes to skincare especially masks, I am always afraid they might break me out. 

PS... Love to Glow Face Mask

  • Claims to contain Argan Oil & Vitimin E
  • Claims to Exfoliate & Smooth skin
  • Claims to Brighten & Moisturise dull, tired skin 
  • Contains 50ml of product
  • Costs E3.50  


It is quite thick in texture. It is a mud mask (or atleast looks like one). It is greyish, brown in colour. I contains small little granules that seem to work as a physical exfoliator, exfoliating the skin as you apply and remove the product.




How I used the product

I applied the product as directed. I applied a thin layer to my clean face avoiding eyes, nose, mouth & ears. I then waited for 10 minutes before I removed the product using warm water.




My Experiance

I was not expecting the the texture of it. although it is quite creamy the granules make it a little scratchy but nothing painful or anything, just like using any other exfoliating product. I applied a thin layer. It felt cooling on the skin. I felt that almost immediately but I kinda liked it. As it began to set the mixture got quite hard & felt tightening which I also liked. It also applied light in colour (more of a light grey) & dried much darker (darker grey brown). Again I liked this as you could see when the product was done.




The Results

I have to say I was surprised. Almost immediately my skin did look brighter & fresher but that was not what I was so surprised about, It was how soft my skin was. I kid you not! about half an hour after I touched my skin & I was like "wow! oh my god! I was not expecting that!"          


Recommendation

I have normal to dry skin, so if you have similar skin I definitely recommend  you give it a go!! Im sure other skin types would probably be fine too but as I dont have them myself I cant personally recommend skincare for them. However for me this was an extremely positive experience. I will say however, for the sake of balance, although my skin felt soft & I liked this mask I didnt find anything completely outstanding about it in the days after (nothing that you wouldnt get from alot of other masks) I think the product has been designed and formulated well but it will take a few uses to provide you guys with information on wether this product actually provides some lasting or longer term effects on my skin. I will be sure to come back with an update after a few more uses!   


Anything I would change or didnt like?


  • I dont like using my fingers to get the product out of the jar (hygiene reasons), I would love if there was a little spatula or something included but again this is a E3.50 product.
  • They dont say anywhere (that I can find anyway) how often it is recommended to use the product but I will probably just use it once a week or so.
  • I fear it might dry out as the air has gotten into it or it might not work as well anymore.

Thumbs up from me! I cant wait to try out the other skincare products in the range!! 

I hope you enjoyed this first impression / mini review. Please leave me a comment down below if you have tried this before or have any thoughts or views on it!!

Review - P.S. Love... Makeup Brushes



Hello There my Beauties,

First of all I would like to apologise for the lateness of this post, been struck down with flu this week so unfortunately I was unable to get this up on a Friday as I usually would. Please forgive me.

In my previous review post (usually published every friday) I reviewed the P.S. Love.. Eyebrow Kit ( You can check out my review by clicking the link Review P.S.Love.. Eyebrow Kit...) & I mentioned that I had made the decision that for the rest of the month of February I was going to dedicate all my review posts to the Pennys/Primark P.S. Love... range.

Today I want to focus on the P.S.Love... makeup brush collection they brought in just before Christmas 2015. I remember seeing hype about them on Twitter & Instagram and I am sure by now, 3/4 months later most of you lucky people have gotten your hands on them, but for those of you who have yet to pick them up or are just generally undecided here are my thoughts on them. 

My favourite brushes to use are generally, Real Techiques for face and MAC & (believe it or not) Essence for eyes but I am always on the hunt for new & affordable make up brushes!! When I saw people talking about these I just HAD to try them!! They are all in the price range or 1.50 - 3 Euro! Once again you cant beat a price like that!! 

General Overview

There are many different Varieties available. They have the same look and feel to them as the Real Techniques brush range but are much lighter & obviously of a lower quality. They are densely packed brushes & super soft! Here are the different types of brushes that they carry in my local Primark/Pennys (It might be the whole range, Im actually not sure) 

       

Kabuki Brush

This is one I dont use that often, mostly I just use it for blending at the end so there are no harsh lines. It is a dense brush & I love how soft it feels on my skin!!






Stippling brush

I have been using this brush ever since I got it!! I use it almost everyday for blending in my highlighting concealer! I love it! As its dual ended with different size stippling brushes I find it really easy to blend that concealer!!






Powder & Blush Brush

I have 2 of these brushes & one of them I use for blush & the other I use for bronzer. I know I could use one side for one & one side for the other but I like having the option of both sides for each product. Although it is really soft it blends the product really well!!





Contour Brush

I actually really like this brush for contour. So often I find that brushes that are designed for contour by companies are too big or just dont sit on my face right, this however I found to be perfect for its intended purpose! Thumbs up!!




       

Lip brush 

I really like this brush & I really like the packaging!! The only reason I dont use it that much is because I dont really wear many lippies that require a brush.... well I havent in the past couple of months anyway, this might change in the summer time when the sun decides to come out & great us again!!








Overall I think they are great brushes of fantastic quality for such a low price. I would recommend them for anyone with any level of makeup experiance but in particular I would recommend them for people who are either just starting out with makeup and want good brushes to start out with, have a low budget or dont like spending alot money on makeup or finally if you are like me & you love makeup & trying out new things. You wont be disappointed & for E3 if you are... who cares?? It wont cost you much to find out & I doubt you will be crying over E3. 




Once again I am super impressed with P.S. Love range & the quality of the products they have been releasing in the past couple of months. Tune in next week for another P.S. Love... range review!!




If you pick them up leave me a comment & let me know how you got on?
