One Gorgeous Girl

I love a gimmick.  Like really love a gimmick.  A promise for smaller pores, dewey skin or eternal youth makes my charge card comes out of my wallet faster than I can even comprehend.  I was window shopping on Sephora, and saw an offer for this new Bliss rubberizing mask and had to jump.  I love Bliss products, they just never seem to fail me.  One day I will make it to their actual New York City spa, but until then I will continue to love their incredible products. ( This is no way endorsed by Bliss, I just simply love the products)

The rubberizing mask comes in a pretty boring box, with 6 packets of mask, 1 water scoop, and 6 wooden spatulas.  The only thing you will need is a little bowl or container to mix the mask up with.  The process for mixing the mask is very easy.  Pour your powder into your container, add one scoop of water and mix until thickens.  The whole process takes about 45 seconds, and once you feel the mask thicken you spread it all over your face, being careful to avoid hairlines and eyebrows.

When everything is all mixed together, it really does not look like you are going to have enough product to spread over your entire face.  Don’t let this fool you though, they give you more then enough to cover your face and neck.  Once the mask is on, you wait 15-20 minutes. The mask leaves you with a cool refreshing feel and after about 10 minutes you feel the mask starting to “rubberize”.

This is not the kind of product you want your other half to see.  Once it’s on you look like some kind of freaky halloween creature, but its totally worth it.  Once dry the mask peels off pretty easily.  Make sure to throw the pieces away in the trash.  Bliss advises to not let any be washed down the drain.  Anything you can’t get off by pulling it off, washes off pretty easy.

Bliss always leaves your face feeling clean, refreshed and gorgeous.  You can buy Bliss online at Sephora or The Bliss online store. The mask costs $38 and for what you get it is a great deal!

Oh how every girl loves a good face mask, and this Ole Henriksen Mini Peel System does not disappoint!

I received a sample via a Sephora order I had placed and was a little bit hesitant to try a new peel on my skin. My skin tends to be a oily around my T zone, and a little bit dry on my cheeks. With skin like I have I always want to try something new, and Ole Henriksen is one of my favourite go to brands for skin care.

The peel is three parts and is a bit time consuming so allow yourself about 40 minutes from start to beautiful finish.

1 – Almond Polish – I loved this polish. On the back of the package Henriksen states “the benefits of a microdermabrasion; oat kernel flour, bamboo stem powder, honey, orange peel, and almond glide effortlessly across the face while abrading and refining skin to smooth perfection.” The almond polish smells delicious and did a fantastic job of scrubbing my face. You wet your hands, and scrub the polish around your face for 2 minutes. I found it a little bit hard to rinse off, but my skin already felt better after this scrub.

2- Lemon Strip – The lemon strip is the actual peel itself. The peel smells really fresh, but as soon as I put it on my freshly scrubbed face it stung. This is expected with most peels, and the stinging did go away after about 30 seconds, but man did I ever want to call it quits. My face tends to be acne prone and these spots stung the most. You only leave the strip on for 2 minutes by itself before moving onto the next step so it doesn’t end up being that bad.

3 – Chamomile Comfort – This was by far my favourite part of the whole mini peel system. The chamomile comfort is refreshing, creamy and smells exactly like a spa. You mix this in with the lemon peel on your face and it immediately soothes any uncomfortable sensations you have. Once both the comfort and the strip are mixed together, you wait 20-30 minutes, rinse off and admire your newly gorgeous skin.

Overall I would give Henriksen’s product a 4/5. The product is great, but at almost $95 it seems a little pricey. It is something worth buying though if you love the luxe feel of a spa mask, but can’t afford the cost of going to an actual spa.
