Estelle & Thild Detox Mask Lily Review

 


 
If having large pores is a problem for you then this mask by Estelle & Thild is definitely a product for you. Estelle & Thild is an organic skincare brand from Sweden who produce skincare that is suitable for various skin types. This Lily Detox Mask is suitable for all skin types and claims to give you dewy fresh skin.
The mask is made from natural bentonite clay and comes out as a thick yellow cream. What I love about this mask is that it does not set dry or irritate the face as many other masks do, but it still manages to draw out impurities and unclog pores extremely well.
Large pores do not exactly affect my face but I do have some on my nose and around it. Whenever I use this mask, I can barely see the pores on and around my nose, and my skin feels incredibly smooth.
I smooth this mask out with my hands to make sure I get an even application. It is recommended that you use it once or twice a week and that you leave it on for 3-5 minutes, which is a perfect amount of time if you need clean, fresh and smooth skin fast!


I really love how clean fresh and dewy my face feels after I have used this. It makes my skin feel nice and soft because of its ingredients such as olive oil and vitamin E, without making it feel oily instead, it just balances it out really well. In my opinion, this is a must-have mask for anyone but especially for people with oily skin or enlarged pores.
The mask is available at: Urban Retreat Beautique

Love, Jazmine

Met gala beauty looks!

Here are some of my favorite makeup looks from the Met gala 2014, hope you enjoy!

Taylor swift definitely knows how to rock her signature look, which is the cat eyes and some nice red lips! and once again she pulled that look off a 100%
 
Elizabeth Olsen kept her look quite clean and classy, with neutral smokey eyes, and some settles spring-ready orange lips!

I absolutly love how  Karlie Kloss pulled off the bronzed cheek look with a pop of highligt (absolutly love her highlight) and a nice nude lip.
 
I love how Hailee Steinfeld went for a very clean and mature look! her winged eyeliner and neutral lips just look so effortless, and we can not forget about her eyebrows!

Kim Kardashian once again looks very elegant and rocks her perfect expert contouring and a nice subtle smokey eye, with a nice glossy lip!
 

I like how Lea Michele, went with some bold brows! Her dewy skin and the touch of gold shimmer on the inner corners of her eyes and the glossy lip definitely completed her beauty look.

I love how simple yet galmorous Jessica Alba looks! the dewy skin, the goldish/brownish smokey eyes and her nude lips just makes everything look so neutral!
 
And lastly I absolutely adore how BeyoncĂ© and Selena Gomez pulled off the dark red lip! I love the whole dark red lip trend, although I have to admit, that I'm not quite brave enough to wear it myself.

 
These were just some of my favorite makeup looks from the Met gala, let me know your thougts in the comments. :)
Love, Jazmine

April Favourites

April is over so I thought i would share some of my faveourite things I've been loving!
Heres some of the things I have been loving:

                                                             Mascara



So I just recently bought this mascara and I really love it! it makes my lashes long with no clumps! Another thing I really like about this is that a little goes a long way! You don't really need to apply tons of coats to see a difference, which i just absolutly love, i hate those mascaras where you just have to put several of coats on to see a differnce!

 

                                                             BB Cream

 I've really been loving this BB cream by Garnier this month! I have combination skin so this one for oily and combination skin just works really well for me. I used to use the anti-ageing one by Garnier which i like but i definatly like this one better! the reason is because for once i feel like this one gives a lot more coverege than the other one! I feel like I only need one layer of it for daily use which makes everything in the morning so much easier! And last it's a lot more matt than the anti-aging one which means I don't have to powder my entire face!

  Thermal Spring Water

 
 
Ok so I use this Thermal Spring Water from LA ROCHE POSAY for couple of different things. It's really great to use since the warm weather is slowly sneaking up on us!

1) To set your make-up: Once I've completed my make up look for the day I like to spritz my face with it. Beacuse it acts to set my make up in place.
2) Through out the day: I sometimes use it throughout the day as a mist because it's fine enough not to cause my make up to "melt".
3) Plane rides or long trips: Being stuck inside a plane which is pressure controlled with recycled air for hours is not good for your complexion. Therefore this is a great thing to carry on in your handbag, so you can spritz your face when you feel like your face needs some refreshment.

4) Workouts: This can really help you cool down either during your workout or after your workout.

Make up remover 

 
 


What I really love about this product is that it's a 3 in 1. It acts as a cleansing milk, a toning lotion and an eye make-up remover! Another really good thing about this is it has captelae which helps to trap impurities. I like to use this both day and night.

      Effaclar duo


 
I'm already on my second tube of this amazing serum. I use it everyday both day and night and I like to use it after I've cleansed my skin with the Vichy 3 in 1 cleanser. A thing i really like about this is that it genuinley feels like nothing on your skin, and it acts as a really good primer! I feel like i really can see a difference whenever i use this underneath my make up, it just brightens my skin in a way no other serum has.


 Lipbalm


I love Vichy lipbalms and this Nutriextra is so good! seriously probably one of the best ones I've ever tried! It really moisturizes my lips and I feel like the balm stays on for so long, I really hate it when you buy a lipbalm and it just fades away after 2 minutes. Therefore i love it!

 

Lipgloss

Personally i don't feel like I can pull off bold lips so therefore i really like this lipgloss by Maxfactor (vibrant curve effect).
it's a nice sheer red lipgloss that just adds a bit of color and shine. It's shade is called dominant and it smells really good!
 

    Concealer


 I like this concealer by elf because i think it gives a nice coverage without being too much. Another thing i really like about is it stays in place the entire day without creasing, i hate concealers that crease, so this has been a great product. I have the concealer in the shade apricot beige, and I've been using it ever since i bought it.  

Clutch

 
I have been loving this clutch by Adax (a danish brand) through out the month of April, beacuase one it has a hand strap! that way I know I won't loose it easily, and two it holds up so much place, without being too big, so that's just an absolute plus!
 

Song 

And lastly my favourite song of the month has to be a song by Lukas Graham called "Happy home" the song is just so good that i have been listening to it on repeat. Heres the song if you wanna have a listen to it.  


 
These were just some of the things that i enjoyed using throughout April.
Hope you enjoyed reading it :)
Love, Jazmine
