Mudmasky's Facial Detox Purifying Recovery Mask

So as you might have seen on my Instagram account I have been non-stop raving about this product, but I wanted to make sure that I had tried and tested it for at least a few weeks before writing a review and reflecting on its quality. 

I've been using Mudmasky for the past two weeks, around three times per week, so that's six times in total. It's really simple, and although I swear by my usual three product skincare routine, I will definitely be making room for this at least once a week for a skin pamper session. Like any normal mask you leave it on for around 8-12 minutes, until the mud dries and makes you face feel tight (it does sting so be careful!), I like this as it makes you feel like to product is doing its job. After, simply wash it off with cold water, it can be a bit tough so I'd suggest using a flannel or cold cloth to help scrape off the remnants. 

IN REVIEW

This product has done absolute wonders for my skin. If you've read any of my other posts you'll know that I am a firm believer in changing up your skin routine every once in a while, just like your shampoos. Your body can get too used to a certain product, so it's nice to give it a change every now and then. I feel this sudden change gives my skin/hair a little bump into action and is an indulging refresher. Mudmasky will bring out spots the day after its use, but don't go thinking that it's made your skin worse, it is simply doing its job and giving your skin a deep purifying recovery detox, clearing out all the dirt and muck from your pores. After 2-3 days your skin will be looking clean, clear and radiant. Many face masks instantly dry out your skin, or in fact, do the opposite and make it super oily. Mudmasky has a great balance of ingredients that hydrate (but not too much!), brighten and sooth. There's only one down-side, that you've got to leave it on for 8-12 minutes, but in all honesty, when dealing with a face mask this is something to expect. I might be fussy but I, unfortunately, do not have the time to do what the packet suggests and use it a few times a week, but I will try to find the time to use it at least once because of its fab results! 

A Day in the Life of a Birthday Girl

I Know it's a bit late but I thought I'd share a day 'in the life of 'my 21st Birthday. Yeah, the big 21! I was absolutely spoilt, taken of an adventurous day trip (a surprise fun-filled day organised by my boyfriend, and if you don't know him that's kind of a big deal).

So here is goes...

My day began in Greenwich, a stroll along the Thames to The Sail Loft, for a wonderful brunch with some gorgeous chorizo scotch eggs!

We then made our way to Old Street Station in Shoreditch, where we grabbed one of the best cups of coffee i've had in London, myself a Latte and the boyf an Americano, from The Shoreditch Grind.

(A beautiful tribute to the late Muhammad Ali) 

We then made our way to Brick Lane for a cheeky shop. And of course I had to take an edgy photo in front of the graffitied railway arches (as you do). 

After this we made our way to my next surprise, The Electric Cinema! This was 100% better than any cinematic experience I've ever had, and a great idea for any present or treat. The cinema was lush. We ordered our freshly pressed juices and popcorn, and made our way to our seats, or should I say armchair sofas with individual cashmere blankets! Then to top it all off, we watched The Nice Guys (gotta love Ryan Gosling). 

Part 4 of our adventure, dinner. We made our way back through Shoreditch and strolled down to The Blues Kitchen, where we ordered their famous fried chicken and had a few cocktails. I particularly loved their house made ice tea, so asked for a tipple of white rum to make it into a scrummy cocktail, the waitress even complimented me on my idea. 

We strolled home with our bellies full and a great day of memories made.

The Life of a Working Girl

So I haven't been blogging much recently, as there's been a fairly big change in my life. I GOT A JOB. I finally got a real-life paid job! I'm now a daily London commuter- sigh. But apart from the tube and countless cancelled trains, i'm loving it! I'm doing what I love most... writing. I'm not certain how I finally managed to do it but I did! So there's going to be a lot more blogs coming your way guys as the adventure is just beginning. This exciting adventure did of course begin with a large shopping trip.. new job new clothes! So I'm going to keep you updated on my shift from University student, to newbie around the office.
