BEAUTY REVIEW: FRESHNESS OF MORNING ANTIOXIDANT FACIAL MASK

December 16, 2013 in BEAUTY, Uncategorized

I was really surprised when I opened this face mask- it comes in dry powder form instead of a wet paste. The instructions tell you to mix a teaspoon of the powder with water until you get a thick paste. I only used half a teaspoon and it was perfectly ample to cover my face. I have to say, it was a bit of a hassle opening the jar and tidying up the powder that spills out etc. A ready-made mask is much easier and quicker to use. However, the results of this mask are great; so it is worth taking the extra time and trouble for.

The Antioxidant Facial Mask is designed to detoxify, tone and exfoliate your skin. I found my skin to be much smoother immediately after use, and the next morning it was a lot firmer and still just as smooth. I also felt that it evened out my complexion and remove my dark circles- now, i’m not a scientist; but perhaps that was part of the detoxification process?

The mask itself looks like powdered charcoal, and when mixed with water it smells very earthy- not unpleasant, just a raw natural muddy scent. It takes around 10-15 minutes to dry, and it quite easy to remove with a cloth. Lastly, pop some moisturiser on afterwards to maximise the benefits.

Everything in the mask (and their whole range) is 100% natural and plant-based. It felt nice to have something good on my skin.

The Freshness of Morning Antioxidant Facial Mask is available for £18 from fomcosmetics.co.uk. They also have a great muslin cloth (£4.50) which makes removing it very easy.

PR sample — There’s only a few more days to ge PR sample — There’s only a few more days to get your hands on this month’s epic @mintdbox - it’s a fantastic box this month, as usual. Now is the time to jump on board as a subscriber as I’ve been told March’s box is a super special one!
💗
In February’s box you get 4 full-size luxury skincare products (worth £212) for just £70! We all need some self-care time at the moment & that’s the theme of this month’s box!
💗
The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too. The Aromatherapy Associates Rose Bath & Shower Oil is a heavenly treat. I apply it around my shoulders and chest, breathing  in the calming aroma, before getting into the shower. Finally, Prismologie’s Rose Quartz & Rose Balm soothes your mind and nourishes the skin on your body. It leaves you with a little bit of lustre too 💫

PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves time (# by @the PR samples — It’s #friyayfaves time (# by @the__glow__girl)Wake up on Valentine’s Day with some super cute treats from @lush Lush! They smell heavenly & my favourites all have that usual-for-me rose note running through them.
🥀
The Lush Heart Beat Bath Bomb has their famous Rose Jam scent with its beautiful rose absolute. It turns your bath deep pink & is deeply moisturising.
💕
Their Love Me Do Bath Bomb is another one for rose-filled bathing. It’ll turn your bath a deep red, with dried rose petals and dried lavender. So indulgent!
🥀 
The Rose Argan Massage Bar is another seasonal limited edition for Valentine’s Day. It has ruby cocoa liquor, Argan oil, rose absolute. It smells rich and luxe & it goes beautifully with my rose fragrances.
💕
Finally, the Naked Attraction Massage Bar is a returning favourite from last year. It’s a cocoa butter bar with jasmine extract, ylang ylang oil and osmanthus. It’s it so softening and moisturising and has such a beautiful unique floral scent.
