DHC BEAUTY LIFT SERIES

Hey Beauties! I have been sent some great products from the DHC ULTRA-HYDRATING BEAUTY LIFT SERIES to review for you so I will crack on and tell you my thoughts.

The beauty lift series aims to hydrate, smooth and give skin an instantly lifted feel and appearance. The range has a very lightweight and calming formula which I agree is a refreshing change to other heavier anti-ageing ranges.

Every morning and evening after cleansing and washing my face I pat it dry and apply a few drops of the BEAUTY LIFT LOTION which is a hydrating lifting toner. I apply it with my hands, but you can use a cotton pad if you prefer as it is a very liquid formula. It is said to reduce the look of fine lines and minimise expression lines while hydrating and prepping the skin for moisture. I sometimes think that toners can feel like a bit of a pointless step in a skincare routine as I have used some that don't seem to do anything. This product however does gently awaken the skin and yes it does feel like it has a priming effect. My skin seems a little more held together after applying it and ready for the next step of my skincare. It's a little hard to explain, but I hope you kind of see what I mean.

Next I apply a couple of pumps of the BEAUTY LIFT ESSENCE which is a silky-soft lifting serum. This feels so smooth and gentle on the skin. It's not tacky at all and glides over the skin leaving a lovely smoothing veil of moisture. This again I use day and night.

In the morning my next step is to apply again a couple of pumps of the BEAUTY LIFT MILK which is a light lifting moisturiser. This feels like a very similar consistency as the Beauty Lift Essence. I thought initially that my skin surely could not feel any better after using the essence, but I was wrong. The milk adds even more moisture. My skin feels super hydrated, smooth and protected.

In the evenings I swap the milk for the BEAUTY LIFT CREAM which is an intensive lifting cream. This is also a great hydrating and smoothing product that is a lightweight cream rather than serum consistency. It feels great to apply at the end of the day.

I had no problem at all wearing these products under my make-up. I was using up a pretty cheap moisturiser prior to using these products and boy did I notice the difference in quality. These products provide me with such smooth skin that feels lifted in a quite subtle and natural way. You are not going to feel or look like you have had botox afterwards, but instead feel hydrated, smooth, glowing and dare I say it flawless.

Love to you all

RITUALS HAMMAM COLLECTION

Hi there lovelies. I love trying out new skincare so when I was sent these products to review from the RITUALS HAMMAM COLLECTION I knew I had to share with you my thoughts on them.

HAMMAM OLIVE SECRET ULTRA HYDRATING SHOWER PASTE

We have all heard of primers for make-up, but how about one for exfoliation? This body cleanser is great especially for those with dry skin. My legs can get quite itchy if they are too dry, but this product instantly makes them smooth and so soft. It has such a fresh Eucalyptus scent that soothes my senses as well as my skin. While having a hot shower I apply the paste to my skin. It's not extra thick in texture, but it looks a bit like a face mask for the body. I simply rinse off and scrub my skin with an exfoliating glove or shower puff. My skin feels smoother using this product rather than my shower puff alone so it's worth this extra step which takes no time at all.

SPARK OF HAMMAM HYDRATING BODY LOTION

This product is the perfect partner after exfoliation to add even more hydration and lock in moisture. This non-greasy lotion massages into the skin easily leaving a velvety veil to comfort and sooth even further.

These products add inner warmth and a pampered feeling to the skin. There are many other products to discover within the HAMMAM COLLECTION. I already have my eye on the Hammam Massage Body Oil.

Love to you all

AEOS OPTIMAL ESSENTIALS PINK KIT

Hey beauties. I have recently been lucky enough to try out a whole kit of products that were kindly sent to me to sample and review. 

AEOS product ingredients are grown on a farm in Lincolnshire. They have an institute where they train therapists about organic health and beauty using their products. The AEOS range is 100% organic, 100% biodynamic and 100% vegan. AEOS products include alchemical techniques along with cutting edge skincare formulas.

AEOS nurtures the earth's natural elements creating products to bring your body and therefore your mind into harmony. They work on a 3 phase system which goes as follows:

PHASE 1: RENEWAL - Cleansing products which leave skin feeling soft and receptive to the following phases.

PHASE 2: REBALANCE - Using products to add moisture and hydration back into the skin and preparing for the final phase.

PHASE 3: REPLENISH - Adding even more hydration while supporting skin regeneration to minimise the signs of aging.

AEOS products are designed to be used together and not with other synthetic ingredient brands so that maximum results can be achieved.

AEOS products work with colour significance to guide you in choosing the right products for you. I was sent the pink Optimal Essentials Kit. AEOS pink products are enhanced with the crystal essences of fire opal, rose quartz and rubelite. Pink is the colour of kindness, caring, warmth and love. We all need to take time to care for ourselves which is easy to forget to do. This pink kit which is said to be great for dry skin like mine seemed perfect, but did I feel the love?

Here has been my skincare routine using the pink kit:

MORNING

1. Applying the Gentle Cleansing Lotion to a damp face and neck in circular motions and rinsing off with warm water to remove impurities.

2. Twice a week in circular motions to a damp face and neck I applied the Gentle Exfoliant and rinsed off with warm water for soft smooth skin. This product can be used as needed for your skin type, but twice a week was perfect for me.

3. I patted 2 pumps of the Energising Conditioner onto my wet face and neck to soothe, calm and soften skin.

4. Then I spritzed a few sprays of the Refreshing Hydrating Mist over my face and neck. This product can be used throughout the day to refresh skin and can also be used over make-up.

5. I rubbed a small amount of the Realive Serum in my hands then patted it over my face and neck to nourish, moisturise and hydrate the skin for a radiant complexion.

6. Lastly I patted the Enriching Moisturiser onto my face and neck straight after the serum to protect and hydrate.

Now this may see like a long process, but once I got into the swing of things it took no time at all. I did not find the Gentle Exfoliant left me with irritated skin or anything for those worried about using it in the morning, but it can be used in the evening if you prefer. If hypersensitive do not exfoliate.

EVENING

1. I moistened cotton pads with warm water, adding a few drops of the Cleansing Oil De-Maq and sweeping over the face and neck. I used separate pads for each eye. This removed all impurities and make-up effectively.

2. Adding a few drops of the Dew Facial Wash to a bowl or the sink I soaked a face cloth and wrung out the excess. I then applied it as a compress over my face, repeating 3 times to condition and hydrate.

I then applied these products in the same way as above in this order:

3.Energising Conditioner.

4. Refreshing Hydrating Mist.

5. Realive Serum.

6. Enriching Moisturiser.

I really enjoyed the ritual of applying all products, especially in the evenings as it really felt like I was 'taking the day off' my skin and starting to unwind. The Cleansing Oil De-Maq when applied with warm wet cotton pads is just heaven. Especially when followed up with the compress of the Dew Facial Wash.

As you may notice the kit also comes with the Beauty Body Shower. This shower gel was lovely. It had a real zingy awakening feel that made me feel brighter.

There is also a Beauty Body Lotion that I have to admit I am not a fan of due to the scent. I did try it out, but it's just not for me.

I was also sent the Unfragranced Skin Replenisher Rich+ Cream separately which again I am sad to say was not for me because of the scent. 

This was a whole new way of looking at skincare for me. This kit encouraged me to take the time to enjoy the experience of the scents and the application of each product. It felt like I was taking care of me in a simple yet very pampering way. I know that you may think you just don't have time for all these products, but if you have time to sit and watch TV for 10mins then what's the difference?

These are a lovely kit of products that did bring me an inner peace at the end of the day. So if you would like to try this at home spa experience for yourself perhaps throw a few hints this Valentine's Day or even just treat yourself. You just have to know you are worth caring for.

Check out the kits here!

Love to you all

DHC RESVERATROL SKINCARE RANGE

Hello beauties. It's great to have you here so that I can tell you about my latest facial skincare products from one of my fave brands DHC.

DHC RESVERATROL LOTION, ESSENCE & CREAM

Resveratrol is a highly potent antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes and when applied topically it improves tissue elasticity, supports the skins natural moisture barrier and protects against environmental damage.

The Resveratrol three-step skincare system includes a high concentration of this wonder ingredient. Unlike other powerful anti-ageing ingredients like retinol, resveratrol is non-irritating and suitable for even sensitised skin.

Featuring a hydrating toner, super-booster and rich moisturiser, DHC’s Resveratrol products can be layered for maximum results.

Application:

So each morning and night over the last few weeks I have been applying this three step system after cleansing my face and neck. I apply a few drops of the lotion which is a toner by patting it onto my face. Then I smooth one pump of the essence which is a serum over my skin with my hands. Lastly I apply the cream. Just a small amount is needed as it's quite thick, but smooths on easily. It feels very luxurious.

Results:

My skin is typically dry, but has been much less so since using these products. In fact I would say I hardly ever see dry patches now. The fine lines around my eyes are less obvious. My skin feels and looks very smooth and plumped. These products work well under make-up too. I don't have to wait ages for any of the products to sink in. In fact the moisturising cream almost acts as a primer because I am sure my make-up is staying on a little longer throughout the day.

This range has a big thumbs up from me. The products are a bit pricey, but they work and they will last a long time. So if your skincare is important to you take a look at this range or other products from DHC as they are definitely a brand that looks after your skin well.

These products were sent to me, but this is an honest review.

Love to you all

NIVEA WINTER ESSENTIALS

Hello lovelies. I have a range of Nivea Winter Essentials to share with you that I have been sent to test out over the last few weeks so here are my reviews :)

BODY LOTION EXPRESS HYDRATION

For normal skin. This is a very lightweight formula with a refreshingly creamy scent of sea minerals and blue lotus. This I preferred out of the three in formula because it so quickly absorbed and kept me moisturised all day long.

BODY LOTION IRRESISTIBLY SMOOTH

For dry skin. This has a non-greasy formula offering soft and supple skin all day long. There is no obvious scent to it. It does a great job, but takes just a bit longer to work as it's a little more intensive.

BODY MOISTURISER RICH NOURISHING

For dry skin. This formula is much more dense than the other two. It has that classic Nivea packaging as well as scent. It works really well to nourish and moisturise the skin also.

I would definitely rate each of these products, especially for people like myself who have dry sometimes itchy skin that needs intensive moisturisation.

SMOOTH NOURISHING HAND CREAM

For dry hands. A fast absorbing hand and nail cream for a softening and smoothing effect. I am loving this hand cream. It adds a really nourishing boost every time I apply it and I love the macadamia nut oil scent.

LIP BUTTERS

I have previously reviewed the RASPBERRY ROSE scent which I absolutely loved. Recently though my lips have been a bit in turmoil and I felt needed something very neutral. I have been using the ORIGINAL lip butter and OMG it has been a lifesaver. My lips are in the best condition they have been in ages. As you can see these also come in amazing scents such as BLUEBERRY BLUSH, VANILLA & MACADAMIA and CARAMEL linked above.

So for nourishing reliable products to take you through winter these should be on your radar.

Let me know your Nivea winter skincare essentials with reasons why in the comments below.

Love to you all

VICHY IDELIA EYES & LIFE SERUM

I'm back again with another review today, but this time skincare. I was asked if I would like to test and review the new VICHY IDELIA EYES and was kindly sent the VICHY IDELIA LIFE SERUM too.

Said to be the perfect partner to the VICHY IDELIA LIFE SERUM which I have previously spoken about in my FACIAL SKINCARE REVIEWS post.

VICHY IDELIA EYES has been formulated to re-awaken tired looking eyes allowing your natural radiance to show through while smoothing and reducing fine lines. The eye contour feels softer, hydrated and more supple. Dark circles are brightened with an illuminating effect. The silicone applicator has been designed for precision in application with the soft touch feel of a brush. A hygienic applicator.

Both products offer a dewy, youthful appearance to the skin. The serum is great for a light reflecting inner glow. It has a fab scent and feels very fresh. Once full make-up is applied however the glow I think is harder to notice.

The eye cream is great for those wanting to give new life to the under eye area. It really does brighten and deflect shadows. No I do not have terrible dark under eye circles, but if I can see a difference then hopefully those who do have them will really benefit from using this product as it really does even out skin tone. My eyes look more wide awake and less dull. 

The caffeine in this product is great also to reduce puffiness with its draining and decongesting effects. The applicator does help to spread the product under the eyes, but I think it could work easily without it as I end up using my fingers to pat it in anyway.

VICHY IDELIA EYES is a real 'eye opener' if you will. Perfect for many reasons.

Please let me know your favourite Vichy products with reasons why in the comments below.

Love to you all

NIVEA FACE WIPES

Hi lovelies. I have one post left to share with you today. This time a skincare review.

NIVEA DAILY ESSENTIALS GENTLE FACIAL CLEANSING WIPES

Use to remove dirt and make-up including waterproof mascara. Leaves skin cleansed, toned and hydrated. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin.

These were really good at removing dirt and make-up. My skin did feel cleansed and hydrated after use. The quality of these wipes are quite thick yet very malleable. I don't generally use waterproof mascara so I could not say how it would work for that. These had a lovely scent too.

NIVEA PURE & NATURAL REFRESHING CLEANSING WIPES

For all skin types to cleanse, remove make-up and refresh the skin in one step.

These wipes worked just as well for me removing dirt and make-up thoroughly. They are very hydrating, cleansing and perhaps more refreshing. They have a real 'pick me up' scent. They are the same great quality as the wipes above.

To see my face wipe review for sensitive skin types from Nivea click here where there is also a further link to the refreshing and fragrance free wipes.

To purchase the Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes see here and for the Pure & Natural Refreshing Cleansing Wipes see here.

VASELINE BODY MOISTURISERS

Hey lovelies Happy Sunday! Where did this week go huh? I have two Vaseline body moisturisers to review for you.

VASELINE ESSENTIAL MOISTURE CLEAN FEELING LOTION

I received this product in my FEBRUARY 2014 BACK TO BASICS GLOSSYBOX where you can find product information and my first impressions. This I would describe as a very neutral body lotion and by that I mean I don't think that anyone would find it unusable. The scent is very creamy like a baby skincare product. I love that type of smell. As a moisturiser it worked really well leaving my skin soft, smooth and feeling nourished. I hate applying body moisturisers usually because I don't like that tacky feeling waiting for it to sink before I can get dressed. This lotion however has a non-greasy formula that absorbed into the skin very quickly. This is currently reduced at Boots.

VASELINE SPRAY & GO MOISTURISER COCOA RADIANT

I received this product in my MAY 2014 SUMMER BEAUTY EDIT WITH SUPERDRUG GLOSSYBOX where you can also see my first impressions and product information. This also absorbs into the skin so quickly and is easy to spray on those hard to reach areas. The click and twist top means the product is secure and no lost lids. This really is a non-greasy non-sticky product. The scent is absolutely lush. I really enjoyed moisturising my body with this as it was fast, reliable and gorgeous. This would be my favourite of these two products purely for the reasons just mentioned. This is also currently reduced at Boots.

These both leave the skin moisturised, hydrated, nourished, soft and smooth. It just depends on which product application is your preference.

Let me know your favourite body moisturising products with reasons why in the comments below.

Love to you all

BALANCE ME BB NATURAL PERFECTION SPF 25

Hi gorgeous people. It's Friday so let us take a moment to say hooray for the weekend. Okay so mad moment over I will now move on to my review.

BALANCE ME BB NATURAL PERFECTION SPF 25

Product information:

An anti-oxidant and super plumping BB cream to firm and smooth away imperfections, address uneven skin tone, provide skin with a flawless, luminous finish and protect against the visible signs of ageing thanks to the natural titanium dioxide-based sun filter. 

It works to prime, moisturise and protect with SPF and deeply hydrate. A lightweight super silky cream for even sensitive skin types to brighten and condition. 

Contains a signature blend of essential oils for intense hydration and 100% hyaluronic acid for super plumping and resurfacing of the skin. Natural oils are included to really nourish and enhance the skin. 

This product does not have a whitening effect just a warming mineral based tint for a beautiful glow and light coverage to highlight. Designed for a wide range of skin tones. Also contains redness reducing ingredients.

My thoughts:

Okay so let me start by saying that I do like this product and am still using it as my current everyday make-up base, but I am going to be honest and say that I don't feel all of the above happened for me.

I found no plumping, firming or smoothing effect. By this I mean my skin still very much showed through as the tint of this product is so light to me it is more of a hydrating primer and moisturiser. The coverage would be great for someone who has great skin and just wants a healthy glow as in a skin highlight not a tan glow. I had to use more concealer than usual as I have uneven skin and blemishes. Therefore I can not say that this product gives a flawless finish, but it is luminising.

It is super lightweight on the skin and easy to apply with fingers as I did. I like the SPF factor and the scent is amazing. Very cleansing and relaxing. I love inhaling it every time I apply it to my skin.

Because of the hydrating feel I would say it is conditioning and due to the glow it is brightening. I usually have some redness on my cheeks, but I wouldn't say it was reduced by this product. Therefore if you have really obvious blemishes this product really isn't for you unless you are going to use it solely as a primer.

So in conclusion I do enjoy using this product due to the priming, moisturising, hydrating, highlighting effects and the lightweight feel. Plus it's an easy product to apply every day. SPF is included so that's always a winner for me. The scent relaxes me and prepares me for the day.

The downside is that it didn't plump, firm or smooth my skin. It took more work with concealer for the coverage I like, but it does claim to be a highlighting tint product and not a medium/full coverage product. Although a flawless finish is also claimed.

Let me know if you have tried this product with your thoughts on how it works for you and your skin type in the comments below.

Also balance me are currently holding their 'Beauty Voyage' competition until the end of August. Whether you off on holiday adventures or on a stay-cation as I am this week they want pictures of your favourite balance me products on your travels. Simply tag with either #balancemeaway or #balancemehome depending where you are. Then share it on @balancemebeauty Twitter and Facebook. The best pics each week will win some balance me prizes.

DHC AGE-DEFYING PREMIUM LIPSTICK GE COLLECTION

Hi there gorgeous people. Welcome to Beautiful Addictions where today I have lipstick reviews for you from one of my favourite brands DHC who are a cult Japanese brand. I have 3 of the 6 shades from this collection to show you.

SHADES L-R: PETAL PINK, FIRST BLUSH & RICH RASPBERRY

So how are these lipsticks age defying? Micronized pigments deflect light creating a plumping, 3D effect. Due to the moisturising, hydrating, conditioning and protecting ingredients lips are left in much better condition reducing vertical lines. These smooth, buttery, satin-finish lipsticks give full coverage with a hint of sheen.

Full shade range:

Petal Pink (PK102)

First Blush (RS105)

Rich Raspberry (RS107)

Velvety Red (RD109)

Rose Gold (BE111)

Bold Persimmon (OR112)

These lipsticks were very moisturising on the lips. At the start of applying my make-up I always add lip balm and apply make-up lip products last. 

These did add a lovely healthy sheen to my lips and were very wearable for every day, but the colour pay off wasn't that great. The most pigmented was the shade Rich Raspberry of these 3. I have tried them since without applying lip balm first and there is a better colour pay off, but mostly with the shade Rich Raspberry. 

If you do not feel that you need to apply lip balm first and are after wearable shades for every day then these would be great for you as they are very moisturising. The packaging is exquisite. So beautiful and expensive in appearance.

These are currently at a reduced price HERE!

These products were sent to me for free to review with an honest opinion that is my own.

Let me know your favourite shades in the comments below.

TIMELESS TRUTH Q10 CAVIAR NOURISHING MASK (ELASTICITY)

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday. Yesterday I tried out another TIMELESS TRUTH beauty mask that was sent to me for review.

TIMELESS TRUTH Q10 CAVIAR NOURISHING MASK (ELASTICITY)

From the TIMELESS TRUTH luxury range this anti-ageing, revitalising beauty mask contains Co-Enzyme Q10 which helps promote skin cell turnover, reducing the visible signs of ageing giving skin a radiant glow and preserving the skin's elasticity. Ideal for sun/weather damaged and ageing skin. A brightening and moisturising product that prevents wrinkles and smoothes out fine lines.

I kept my beauty mask in the fridge for a really refreshing pick me up. After cleansing I removed the mask from this sachet. There was no outer layer to peel off before applying this mask. I pressed the mask onto my face hooking the side loops around my ears. At the bottom of the mask there is a section to pull up the chin from underneath and the ends of this section also hook over the ears. This mask by far has been the best fit. It was very comfortable to wear and stayed pressed against the face without feeling tight just secure. I left the mask on for 20mins. It is recommended to use it for 15-20 mins 3/4 times a week for optimal results. I then massaged in the essence remaining on my skin and followed on with my usual skincare. 

I thought I would feel ridiculous wearing this mask because of the ear parts, but I really felt pampered and enjoyed using it. This is my favourite beauty mask out of the four I have tried from this range. The results were for me a nourished and hydrated feeling. My skin felt smooth, supple and soft and very much brightened. I love the innovative design of this mask and give it a Q10 out of 10!

Have you ever tried a beauty mask that fits this way? If yes, let me know which brand and your thoughts on the design.

POND'S INSTITUTE NATURAL BEAUTY & NOURISHING ANTI-WRINKLE CREAMS

Hi lovelies. I hope you are well and looking forward to the bank holiday weekend coming up next week. Today I have two face creams which were sent to me to review for you.

POND'S INSTITUTE NATURAL BEAUTY N CREAM

Although this product can be used on all skin types it is designed for young skin. This nourishing day cream has ingredients such as green tea to protect against ageing, glycerin to maintain the skin's water levels, fatty acids to strengthen the skin barrier and vitamin B3 to improve skin tone reducing fine lines, redness and discolouration.

I love the scent of this cream which is very refreshing and a perfect wake me up product. It's very lightweight and sinks into the skin easily.

POND'S INSTITUTE NOURISHING ANTI-WRINKLE SPF 15 S CREAM

Designed for dry and mature skin which ages faster causing fine lines and wrinkles to develop earlier. Providing deep care and nourishment, improving skin texture, giving a smooth, supple, healthy and illuminated complexion. With built in SPF 15 UV protection increasing the skin's barrier to sun exposure. Enriched with white tea extract and vitamin B3 skin is left flawlessly hydrated and soft.

This cream had a slightly thicker consistency, but it still blended into the skin with ease. 

I used both of these creams day and night and under make-up. They both worked well on my skin leaving it soft, supple and hydrated.

Pond's Institute products are available to purchase at Boots, Superdrug and Sainsbury's.

Let me know your favourite Pond's Institute products with reasons why in the comments below.

TIMELESS TRUTH MULTIPEPTIDE CALMING REVITALISING FACIAL BEAUTY MASK

Hi once again today folks. I have had a migraine for the last couple of days so I thought testing out this product which was sent to me to review for you would be perfect today.

TIMELESS TRUTH MULTIPEPTIDE CALMING REVITALISING FACIAL BEAUTY MASK

This mask contains negative ions to help increase circulation aiding the relaxation of facial tension, thereby reducing fine lines and visible signs of ageing. Also revitalising the skins natural radiance while nourishing, moisturising, hydrating, softening and improving elasticity. Ideal for sensitive skin.

The mask is patterned as shown in the above photo. After cleansing I removed the plastic backing from the mask and pressed it against the contours of my face. It has a cloth texture that fits quite well, but it did stick out on my chin where the liquid from the mask did tend to drip a bit. Recommended wear is 15-20 mins 3-4 times a week. I wore mine for 20 mins. After removing the mask I squeezed the excess liquid out of the sachet shown above and massaged it into my face and neck along with the residue from the mask still on my face. It absorbed into my skin after about 1 minute. It felt a little tacky, but once I applied my usual skincare products that feeling went away.

I did feel pampered and refreshed using this mask. My skin was left feeling soft and moisturised. I do feel more relaxed and although my headache has not gone it has improved. Coincidence or not?

TIMELESS TRUTH BIO CELLULOSE APPLE STEM CELL COLLAGEN FACIAL BEAUTY MASK

Hi lovelies. I hope your weekend has been fab as always. Mine has been okay until yesterday when I had a disaster that I won't go into because I am still upset about it now. Anyway moving on to today's post. I have a review of a face mask that was sent to me to test out for you.

TIMELESS TRUTH BIO CELLULOSE APPLE STEM CELL COLLAGEN FACIAL BEAUTY MASK

Apple stem cells act in a very similar way to human skin cells helping to repair damaged tissue. Marine collagen helps to promote suppleness and elasticity reducing dehydration and visible signs of ageing, instead giving a plumping and softening effect. Suitable for all skin types.

This mask was very refreshing. After use my skin felt conditioned, hydrated and as if the moisture had been locked in. 

The mask seemed a bit big for me going over my hairline and stuck out a little on my chin. The eye parts were cut out, but still partly attached which wasn't an issue when using the mask, but I did wonder why they needed to be there. I have used this type of mask before and although it suggests to apply first to the chin and form around the face I prefer to align it around my eye areas first to ensure no product gets in my eyes. The mask is for single use and comes with a mesh backing that you simply peel away before applying. 

It is advised to use it for 15-20 mins 3-4 times per week for the best results. Once my 20 mins was up I peeled it off and discarded it. The excess serum left in the pack I applied to my face and neck for a few minutes more so as not to waste any product. There was no apple scent that was obvious to me anyway.

I think this product worked well in what it set out to achieve. My skin felt nourished and pampered with a definite hydration boost. I do think the weird eye parts and the fit of the mask could be a little better, but I guess everyone has different face shapes and sizes.

I have a few more masks from the Timeless Truth range to test out for you so look out for those soon.

Let me know your favourite type of face masks in the comments below with reasons why.

Love to you all
