Dermal White Collagen Essence Mask Review

Hey guys this is the third post today yay!

I'm here with another Dermal sheet mask review, this time its the White Essence Collagen  mask 

Sorry for the lack of photos and description of product in this post 

the ingredients which is pretty similar to all of the other Dermal masks

What I think

This sheet mask did something that none of my other masks happened before, it starting to dry out before the recommend time - which is 20 -30 mins for this mask. 

Now this is not good. 

I have heard from other people that if the sheet mask starts drying out that means that the moisture is going back into the sheet mask :(

The mask itself has a pleasant slight floral smell and I do feel that this mask does brighten my face so there's a plus as well as not having an uncomfortable feeling that I sometimes get from sheet masks

Rating

3/5 for drying out before recommended time! 

My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask Review

Today I will be reviewing my first My Beauty Diary Mask - the  Apple Polyphenol Mask

My Beauty Diary is a popular Taiwanese skin care brand - especially famous for their sheet masks

Living in the UK its very hard to try out Asian skincare unless I go to Hong Kong for holiday. I really wanted to try My beauty diary since I first heard about it especially the  Apple Polyphenol because its for enlarged pores which i suffer badly so when my friend offered to let me try one of the masks I said yes straight away! :) 

This is a print screen of the description from the My Beauty Diary Website

Okay some of you might thinks its fake cos NEWER My Beauty Diary masks are very thin and transulent, but the one I tried is like a regular sheet mask because this is the older version - I'm sure it's real because my friend got it from Sasa when she went to Hong Kong 

there's a clear film that comes with the mask 

its a bit big for my face :( 

What I think

It doesn't really smell like apples, the smell is very subtle a bit like flowers?

Seeing that I've only used this once I can't really tell if this has improved my enlarged pores.

Its quite hydrating and feels very fresh on the skin.

Will I Buy This?

Yes, definitely I want to see if there will be any improvement if I used it continuously - when I do get my hands to try this again I will write a more detailed review :) 

Primark Saint or Sinners Eye Shadow Palette

I got this eye shadow palette from my mum for Christmas. Haven't used it much though, there are some nice colours but the pigmentation is not very good at all and its very powdery. 

It costs £4, they don't have this one in store now but they have similar palettes available.

This is going to be another photo heavy blog because I was experimenting with the settings on my phone camera - yes I take my photos with my phone, it actually works a lot better than my camera when taking things close up from things faraway definitely camera.

I also apologise in advance for some of the photos being upside down - forgot to turn them the right way up lol 

The eye shadow comes in a cardboard box like this - the packaging is so pretty

inside there are 10 shadows and there are names for each one which is quite surprising seeing that usually only high end eye shadows have names - it reflecting the light because there's a plastic cover over it.

Theres also a big mirror which is also a plus 

it also comes with a brush which is double sided - one end is a sponge tip applicator , the other is a flat brush

the colours from the top right, Vanilla (white shimmery shade), Bamboo ( a shimmery light beige colour), Dusk (shimmer dark purple with hint of blue) , Cosmo (bright pink with slight coral tone and silver glitter),  Curfew ( dark shimmery blue), Galaxy (Shimmery brown), Matted (Matte black), Rockstar (shimmery bright purple) , Charcoal ( Black with silver glitter) and Emerald ( shimmery green) 

the brush that comes with it - the brush side is useless, it doesn't pick up any shadow

a better picture of the colours

Swacthes!

These are the colours swatched several times, some of the colours were very hard to show up - like bamboo no matter how hard I tried it just won't show up

From top - Curfew, Cosmo, Dusk, Bamboo, Vanilla 

From top - Emerald, Charcoal, Rockstar, Matted, Galaxy

What I like

• Cheap 
• Pretty colours
• Comes with a mirror

What I don't like

• Not pigmented - I couldn't even get bamboo to show up
• very powdery therefore not very long lasting
• the box can be quite flimsy
• the flat brush that comes with it is pretty useless

But I guess for £4 this is pretty good but I will not be buying any more primark eye shadows in the future 

Avon big colour glossy lip pencil

hey guys I'm finally doing another makeup review, today its my current favourite lip product - Avon's Big Colour Glossy Lip Pencil, these are jumbo lip pencils that provide you with colour yet have a glossy finish .

This was one of the products I got when i bought a surprise bag along with another few lip products.

I have it in shade Glossy Mauve 

There are 6 shades altogether

I can find this on the US website but cant't seem to find it on the UK site:( 

From Avon website:

"Get your lips in kiss-top shape with color that’s big and juicy! Glossy lip color and liner in one. Glides on smoothly and lasts for hours. Sheer-to-medium coverage. .10 oz. net wt."

Ingredients:

BIS-BEHENYL/ISOSTEARYL/PHYTOSTERYL DIMER DILINOLEYL DIMER DILINOLEATE 
ISOCETYL STEARATE

SYNTHETIC WAX 
SILICA 
GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE 
SYNTHETIC BEESWAX
PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE

The colour is very sheer but that's what I like about it

before 

after - sorry for the different lightning


What I like: 

• Very easy to apply 
• Natural looking colour
• Nice glossy finish 
• Did not dry the lips 

What I didn't like :

• Will need to sharpen, therefore lose product especially when it's very soft
• Not very long lasting  - had to reapply very frequently 

Will I repurchase?  

Maybe - cos I want to try other colours too 

photofiltre editing

I decided that I will play around with some effects on photofiltre 

For those of you who don't know what photofiltre is, it's basically like photoshop a photo editing program but a lot similar and less things to do i guess seeing that it is free

so this is a photo i edited 

its from one of the photos from my recent trip to the west midlands safari park

its not very good i know i need to play around more with the effects 

left is before, right is after
