Freshening Things Up

So I came back to this blog after months of not updating it and have rediscovered my love for blogging and reading other beauty guru's blogs as well. 

I really want to start using this blog more often, as well as updating my youtube channel. I keep gaining new subscribers on my youtube but then losing others as well which I think is due to the fact I am so bad at updating regularly! 

I'm also amazed by all these fancy layouts the blogs I follow have and am fed up with the generic one I have at the moment, which brings me to the main point of this post :) 
When I was 12 I had my own website called 'Magical Mix' and I used to design all the layouts myself using paint shop pro but as I got older I lost my interest for web design and moved on. However I still remember how to do everything to make my own layout for this blog so during the next few weeks I will be freshening up the look of this blog then I will update it after that with new ideas I have for posts. 

Thank you to the readers of my blog for the support and here is a little taster of things coming in the  near future so stay tuned ;)

Lush Review: Oatifix fresh face mask

I was looking for a fresh face mask but didn't know what one to pick, so the girl at Lush recommended the Oatifix one when I told her I had dry skin.

It smells divine!! Like oats, banana and honey.. my rabbit actually sniffed it out and was trying to get a lick at it haha. 

It comes in a 75g tub and was £5.75 which I thought was a lot for a one time use mask but I was very wrong! I've used this very generously three times and theres still at least another three uses left, so very good value for money.

This is me using it for the first time :) Doesn't look very appealing but the result was great.

Oatifix has a very thick texture and you need to work at it to spread the mixture all over your face. 

I will definitely be repurchasing this after it's used up. It made my skin feel very soft and refreshed. 

Lush have a range of different fresh masks for different skin types. These do have a best before date which is the only downside as you need to use it up within a few days. It also has to be kept in the fridge.

Overall I'd give this mask an 8/10 It feels really nice but didn't completely eliminate my dry winder skin although it made it feel softer :)

MAC Wonder Woman Collection Photos and Swatches

I got my wonder woman items on Feb 19th from www.selfridges.com whereas the mac website didn't release it until tuesday and in stores today. So I thought this was the perfect time to show the photos and swatches for UK people that didn't know about the Selfridges release. Maybe keep in mind for future mac collections you are excited for to check Selfridges out first because waiting for maccosmetics.co.uk to release wonder woman was such a long time from the US release but Selfridges was a compromise to waiting until today.

Anyway, into the photo's...
