Sea Kelp Eye Sheet Mask

The Crème Shop - Sea Kelp Eye Mask Sheet



I've been buying sheet masks up when I see them for sale around the one pound mark because I like having a lot of sheets in my stash.  Most of them have been just so-so with their results, but that's generally okay as I just love the whole ritual of sheet-masking. Relaxing for up to an hour with a cooling and soothing mask (that I'm hopefully not having to adjust every couple of minutes), watching some TV, then taking off the mask and letting the essence soak in before I finish off my nightly skincare routine. I sheet-mask 2-3 times a week. I think it may just be my most favourite part of my skin care routine.

I saw these eye sheet masks in T.K Maxx (a box of 3 for £4.99) and I grabbed them right away. I only wish I'd bought a couple of packs now!

As you can see the mask is shaped like a fancy masquerade mask. The fit was actually pretty big and it covers all around the eye area, some of the forehead and the top of the cheeks and nose.
 
Claims:
Targets dry skin and dull skin, crow's feet and deep and fine wrinkles.
Some big claims there!
 
The essence was runny, but not annoyingly so and there was a faint scent, but nothing I could really pinpoint.
 
Ingredients:
Water, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Carbomer, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract (wakame seaweed), Potassium Hydroxide, Adenosine, Fragrance, Butylene Glycol, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
 
Time left on:
60 minutes (for the duration of one episode of K-Drama Man to Man!!)
 
Skin felt like afterwards:
Didn't take too long for the essence to soak into my skin after I'd taken the mask off.
 
Skin looked like afterwards:
Wow! I only wished I'd taken a photo. I wasn't really expecting too much after most of the masks I've used had very little results other than a restful and enjoyable experience. But this was quite an astonishing result! My eyes looked like those of a twenty year olds! The skin where the mask had been was really bright and tightened and my eye area looked particularly refreshed, tightened, bright and smooth.
Sadly, the effects didn't last until the next day after a particularly bad and interrupted night's sleep. But next time I'll try and find time to wear one of these masks in the morning so my face shows the benefits during the day and not while I'm sleeping!
 
Essence left in pack:
Not as much as there usually is, but there was enough to semi-soak a couple of my Skinfood tissues (that I use as patch masks) which I wore under my eyes the next morning to try and get back the amazing results from the night before.

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

Thyme Out Review

Image
    Thyme Out - £18.00 for 200ml plus Mini Thyme-To-Go Refillable Spray BUY HERE   I first saw mention of this interesting tincture (love that word!) a couple of months ago on the Victoria Health online Newsletter. Initially, I was thinking about it in terms of a skincare product - a 100% organic natural repairing lotion. But so far, it's been used for so many more purposes. In fact, I think I can safely say that this has been a summer essential for all the family, and hasn't been confined to the skincare shelf at all.   What is it?   Thyme Out is a water-based tincture where the Thyme has been steeped for weeks to draw out all of it's healing properties. The ingredients are all natural and very simple - just organic thyme, purified water, organic grain alcohol, and organic aloe vera.   What does it do? Whilst the ingredients are simple, the list of ailments that Thyme Out can help with certainly is not!   Skin Soothing and Healing   Helps
