Purederm Kiwi Yogurt Pack Review

Hello makeup/skin care lovers, I'm here today to review Purederm Skin Solutions Kiwi Yogurt Pack. This wash-off type massage mask is available in 10ml sachets. It contains kiwi extracts to help brighten the skin and increase it's elasticity. It also contains yogurt oil to de-stress the skin to keep it soft and smooth. Lastly, this massage cream contains collagen and vitamin E.



It is best to use this massage mask after double cleansing. Applying it is very straight forward, just open the pack and apply the cream on your face, avoiding the eye and mouth area. It is recommended to keep the cream on for 5 - 10 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.


Scary huh?
This massage mask smells delicious (if you like kiwi and yogurt - which I do) I wanted to taste it, it also has tiny bits in it when applied. It's easy enough to apply with your fingers but it could get messy. I would suggest, if you have it, use a bowl and brush to apply your cream evenly onto your face. I've read some reviews that said 10ml is not enough but in my honest opinion, 10ml is more than enough. I was able to apply a generous amount on my face and my neck. The pack said leave on for 5-10 minutes, I left my one on for 10 minutes and the cream did not dry out so removal was easy. I used my Liz Earle muslin hot cloth to remove it and the effect was amazing. My face felt so smooth and hydrated.



So, here's what I think of the Purederm Skin Solutions Kiwi Yogurt Pack. It might not be as good a Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser but for 600 won in Tester Korea, it's definitely worth a try. If you don't already have a muslin cloth, I suggest investing on some good quality cloths and this Purederm mask for a more affordable alternative to the Liz Earle cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser combo.

L'Oreal Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil Reivew

I love freebies! Not long ago, I received an email offering me a sample of of L'Oreal's Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil. I filled in my details and after 2 months of waiting, I finally received my freebie sample. I received a 20ml bottle of weightless, natural and healthy tan.


This is perfect for summer contouring and highlighting as it's so lightweight and it can be used on top of your foundation or just on its own. 



Don't be scared that it might look too dark, it actually is not. If I could refer you to the swatches above, it looks dark but after blending, you will get a 'soft glow' and not the oompa loompa orange glow other bronzers tend to give you. If you're planning a night out, I would suggest you double up and try to use a beauty blender for a more finished look. It also has a little shimmer to it (not visible on the swatches) due to the gold micro-fine particles in the formula. It also smells quite nice - like fresh summer cotton.

Summer is near and L'Oreal Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil the perfect bronzer for that natural looking tanned skin. Try it and see for yourself.

My First Horror Block

Here's another subscription box for you - if you like anything horror that is. I found this box when I was contemplating my break up with other sub services. This is the HORROR BLOCK, the gruesome brother of NERD BLOCK.



This is another monthly subscription service from Canada. It's $19.99 per month plus $12.50 shipping, so roughly around £19-£20 depending on the exchange rate. 


Both Nerd and Horror Blocks include a selection of tshirt (or 2), toys, magazine, Pop Characters and other novelty items. This box includes:



The BF wanted the monthly T-shirts and I get to play with the other stuff in the box. This box is mostly about Hannibal. I got a Hannibal heart stress toy, a Hannibal T-shirt and some Hannibal stickers. Inside the box was a copy of Fangoria Magazine, a Cthulhu Car Suction Sign, a Godzilla Headphone accessory, a DVD of Tales from the Cryptkeeper and last but not the least, my favourite, a film cell from the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street.


I'm really pleased with this box and I'm looking forward to more boxes to come.

Blotting Paper - Which is better?

I have really oily skin, even during winter and therefore increases my risks of getting monstrous adult acne. I have two blotting papers to compare today, DHC Oil Blotting Paper and Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets. 







DHC Oil Blotting Paper is made from 100% all-natural hemp fibres and helps mattify your skin. It comes beautifully packaged with 100 sheets of oil control goodness. It's a bit thinner than my usual blotting paper but it does what it says on the packaging. 






KLEENEX Shine Absorbing Sheets. Each pack comes in a wallet with 50 purple, powder free, recyclable paper. The sheets are a bit thicker 
than the DHC ones and they don't break easily as the DHC blotting paper. Then again, I don't dab, I drag the paper across my face furiously to remove my excess oil. 





If you are budget conscious and would like to get more for your money, I would recommend the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets as they're more affordable than the DHC Blotting Paper. However, if you're more interested in what's in your products, then the DHC Blotting Papers are a lot better. Personally, I like the DHC paper but I'm a bit budget conscious so I normally buy the Kleenex Sheets.
