You beauty discovery box - clayspray review.

It's time for this months You beauty discovery box.

This month was about natural products, I wasn't sure what to pick to start with as natural is a big decided for me when it comes to beauty products. After a little thinking I decided to go for both of the Clayspray face masks - which I didn't think I would be able to do. A little research tells me that the RRP of each mask is £15 for the 30ml spray - while this isn't a "full size" it is a size that you can buy, It makes for a good trail size.

Once again this box was well worth the £6.95 including postage that it costs for the box.

I pretty much ask if my box is here yet every day until it turns up, so to the relief of David it came pretty quickly, and when it did I ripped it open while eating my dinner, and put the mask on as soon a I swallowed my last mouthful I was that excited.

Here is my face during and after, my skin looked better, clearer, and brighter. It did feel a little dry and tight, but that was gone after I moisturised, and the results were entirely worth it. I had a lot of compliments after I used my clayspray mask with people telling me how well I was looking, which was welcome as I had been on lots of long days with early starts! 

I also smothered it all over David's face and he had the same results as me, and it also made his skin dry and tight after use. 

I love this mask, but I am still undecided if I am going to buy it again, it's £30 for the 75ml and it comes with a water spray which you are meant to use before and after the mask. 

Have you tried any of the Clayspray masks? or is there a better mask I should try? Which beauty box do you subscribe to?

Review: REN glycolactic radiance renewal mask

I picked up the ren glycolactic radiance renewal mask back around Christmas time it came in a gift set with some other bits - while that set is no longer available the mask is for £30 from here.


What they say: 
"A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone." 

As you can see from my photos, this Ren Glycolactic radiance mask has a slight orange tint, but what you can't see in the picture is the smell! It smells very orangey I guess the best description for the smell is marmalade.

Here's how it works, you apply the orange gel like mask all over your face in a generous layer, I use 2-3 pumps for my whole face, you leave it around 10mins and then wash it off with warm water using the muslin cloth supplied in the box, and that it! Simple huh?

While you leave it the mask on you face, and sit back and relax for 10mins the little enzymes in this eat away at the top layer of dead skin, leave you with fresh, radiant skin underneath.

Did it work? 
There is no denying that my skin look a little better after using this mask, but did people go out of their way to tell me how great I was looking? No. That being said I think with realistic expectations of what this mask can do for you, it is a great little product to have in the house, and I still use it every week - every other week. I also like to use it on any breakout that I have as I find it really good to remove redness and swelling.

Will I buy it again? 
 I would, but I don't know if I'd pay £30 for it so I will be waiting until it's on offer.

Beauty box: You beauty discovery - March

I am a little late with this post as my box took a long time to turn up, but it was worth the wait.

You beauty discovery is a different kind of beauty box. There is no (well very few) surprises here unless you don't pick your items and then they do for you. It's also the cheapest of the beauty boxes at £6.95 a month including postage and packaging. If you want to have a look for yourself you can check out their website here.

 So on to what I picked for my box this month...

This month I ended up picking to full sized products from the list of choices. First up the body shop sumptuous cleansing butter which also came with a muslin cloth; and secondly Dr lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips.

you beauty discovery also throw in other little items into the boxes - this is where the surprise came in -  each subscriber would get an item from the vintage cosmetic company (toe separators, tweezers, or eyelashes) I received the tweezers.

And also some tea, but I don't like tea, so I won't be commenting on this part! 

Dr Lipp is 100% pure medical grade lanolin and can be used it loads of different ways! I am looking forward to seeing how I use this balm. If you fancy trying it, it's £11.50 from places like Space.N.K

The vintage cosmetic company tweezers come in this cute floral pattern and are £8 from their website.

 The body shop sumptuous cleansing butter

I have used this once already, and it's a beautiful cleanser, that removed all of my make up very easily and left my skin feeling super soft and moisturised after I had used it. 

This one is £12 from the body shop, and I would defiantly consider buy it again.

When you add up the value of the products that you get in this box it defiantly worth it. Over £30 worth of stuff for just under £7. Bargain and you get to try new things! 

What do you think, do you have any beauty box subscriptions? Would you consider trying you beauty discovery?
