Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry Masque Review

I want to try and get into using face masks because I need to learn how to relax and I especially need something to help with my very dry skin. Some face masks can be very expensive so I started with the cheapest I could find which is the Montagne Jeunesse face masks. I bought 3 altogether but today we're talking about the Blueberry & Cranberry "Very Berry" Ultra Moisterising and Cleansing Masque.

The consistency is fairly thick but not too much but not so runny that it comes off your face. It stick very well. It was also kind of shiny, metallic even. There was also quite a lot of it so you'd actually get 2/3 uses out of it or two people could easily share!

It feels really cooling on the skin and I have to say I didn't really enjoy that very much because its not very warm here at the moment but if we get any warmer days I would really like it after being in the sun all day. The smell is nice but not my kind of smell. It was like a smoothie but there was also a stronger smell in there that I didn't really like.

It didn't do anything amazing to my skin if I'm being honest. Afterwards it was just like I had washed my face like I do regularly. It wasn't super smooth or even super moisturised. The only good thing about this mask is the cooling effect which will be great in the summer and the amount of uses you'll get out of it.

So overall it was pretty meh and worth the cheap price. It hasn't put me off using the others though but I don't think I'd buy this again.

Let me know what your favourite masks are even if they're really expensive or very cheap, especially if they're masks for dry and sensitive skin. I really want to try some out.

Have you used the Montagne Jeunesse masks yourself? Let me know if you have and what you thought or if you done a review yourself, link me!

Aishling's Recently Purchased #1

Hey all! So I've been really enjoying blogging lately especially doing the Let's Talk Blog Challenge! It's really made me get my mind into gear and put some effort into blogging! I've gotten Lush reviews up, we got the Spring Tag done and have changed Music Monday to Tune Tuesday! I thought I'd start a Recently Purchased section which I've been actually meaning to do for awhile now. We won't have one up every week or maybe even every month because it will depend on when and if we actually buy things! But I hope its regular though. Buy ALL the things! ;)

First up is Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL Toner Mousse in Ice Platinum and Essence "All About Sunrise" eyeshadow palette.

I have only recently bleached my naturally very dark hair and badly needed a toner to get rid of those awful yellow brassy tones. This Toner Mousse is new from Schwarzkopf and is ready to apply. It comes out in a mousse which is kind of light purple colour and actually smells nice. I will have a review of this up sometime soon so keep an eye out.

This Essence palette, along with the 3 others in the same line, was recommended by Siobhan from Letz Make Up in a video she put up here. In the video she is wearing the yellow that's in this palette and is the reason I bought this one first! I didn't get to use any of the colours yet, bar the lightest one on the top left. I really like it but keep in mind they're very shimmery which I don't mind up others might! I will also have a review of this up soon.

Next up is Rimmel's Moisture Renew Lipstick in Dark Night Waterl-oops! which I actually had before but misplaced it so I repurchased it. I love love love the colour and its super moisterising for someone who has very dry lips. It does bleed a bit though and I find you need to put some concealer around the edges of your lips just to keep it in place. Overall I love it though.

Models Own nail varnish in Flip Flop is an amazing, AMAZING, neon green. I was instantly in love with it when I saw it. Haven't tried it yet and this is my first Models Own nail varnish I've purchased so expect a review!

I purchased a really cheap phone case in EuroGiant because my current awesome phone case is falling apart :( I have a fake leather case that is a flip one like this but the front of it is transparent. I have looked everywhere for a similar one but can't find a transparent front on any flip cases. *sigh* So I settled for this phone case for now. I do like it but I'm not mad on it and it feels super cheap so it won't last long! Need to get a good quality one asap!

I was looking for these Montagne Jeunesse face masks everywhere! It was like when I actually wanted to try them I couldn't find them anywhere but then while on a visit to Penneys in Mullingar I found some! I picked out the ones that said moisturising as I have very dry skin. I'm planning on using them soon so a review will for sure follow.

And lastly! When Steve and I visit Mullingar we usually stop into a charity shop that mostly has teddies. I have so many odd teddies because of it haha! This time we went in to look at other things and not the teddies. Stay away from the teddies. Steve spotted the Supernatural Murders book which we obviously had to get! He also spotted the furry leopard box and bought it for me when he was buying the book! It was a nice surprise and it's super cute and soft!


That's all my recently purchased items for now! Like I said on most of the products I will have reviews of each of them soon so be sure to follow for updates!

Anything here you like the look of? What have you bought recently?
Thanks so much for reading! :)

Lush Review - Golden Egg

Golden Egg is a strange one. When I bought it I was sure it was a bath bomb but when it came time to use it, I dropped it into the water and... nothing. It done nothing. Then I realised it was probably a bath melt which would have to be crumbled under hot water while you fill the bath. I had already filled the bath and had no hot water left to crumble a bath melt. I was annoyed and just started to rub it in the warm water hoping it would crumble when all of a sudden it started to foam. I was confused but got into the bath anyway and left it to continue to foam. When I looked it up after it's actually part bath melt, part bath bomb. You just let it melt in the bath and then it starts foaming. I probably should have done my research before using it. But it worked out ok in the end! It foams for a long time so you get a nice long bath out of it.

The top layer of glitters comes off pretty quick but the whole time it foams it releases some very fine bits of glitter into the bath. It turns the water into a gold colour but to be honest it really just looks like pee :P But when you look closely you can see the glitter so it starts looking less like pee then.

The Lush website says it has a honey-toffee fragrance. I'm trying to remember but I don't think when I smelt it I would have thought of honey and toffee. There was definitely a warm smell like toffee but after that it was quite citrisy I thought. Could just be the one I got anyhow! Regardless it still smelt amazing! It also has cocoa butter which makes the water nice and soft and it leaves your skin nice and moisturised.

If the glitter is putting you off the only thing you have to do is rinse the bath after so you don't need to be too scared. I love glitter and was hoping it would stay on me like Golden Wonder but sadly it didn't.

Overall I really liked this and would buy again!
Have you used this before yourself? Let me know what you thought of it! :)
