Snazii Peel-off Mask Review
We have all seen social media being invaded by images and videos of the new peel off masks. They are meant to suck the dirt and oil from your face and rip it from your pores. 
So, I decided I hat to try it.
Here is my review of the SnazII Suction Black Mask (that is what the tube says).



❊ The first time I tried this mask didn't go as planned. I thought I could used the mask on my whole face. I suggest not to do that. 

A. It does hurt when peeling it off. So be careful where you put it. 
B. It can rip out hair, for example eyebrow hair. *That hurts too*
C. It is hard to wash off skin and surfaces. 

Let me explain:

I had some trouble smearing the mask on because it is a bit tacky (that is the only word I could come up with). Once I had covered my face I tried to wash it off of my hands. This took some work and a bit more soap than usual, but I did get it off my hands and then I had to scrub it off my sink. It will "stain" but can come off with some elbow grease. 

After cleaning my sink I waited

It was time to peel. So I had some trouble starting the peel. Ok a lot. It took a while and a few false starts but I finally I got the hang of it. 

After about 30mins of peeling, I had a face riddled with tiny black strips, so I thought they would just rinse of. 

I splashed water on my face and the spots just smeared into larger spots. Great. 

So basically my first try sucked, but on the plus side my face felt clean. 

I will add that when I did start to use it just for spot treatment (in patches rather than over the whole face) it worked great, despite the difficulty with the clean up. 

Overall I love this type of mask and I will be trying other brands to see if there are any others I like more.
I hope this helped you make a decision about the new trendy mask. 


ENJOY!!
XOXO

New Skin Care Routine
I am in desperate need of a new skin care routine! Especially at my age (ripe old age of early 30's ...haha you won't get my age out of me that easily.)
So, I rushed to Sephora.... well went by after work. I asked the very helpful lady in skin care about a few brands I had seen in some of the other blogs and vlogs.  First off, may I say, the lady who helped me was amazing. There are very few poor experiences I have had at that Sephora.
Back on track, I have combination skin and I am prone to acne (thank you aunt flow). I am very picky when it comes to products, they must be filled with ingredients I can spell and have a bang on marketing department (im very visual). Well after a deep Q & A and several products later I managed to walk back to my car with the Philosophy Clear Days Ahead 30-Day Acne Trial Kit and First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Eye Cream. I am always skeptical about new products, but I was feeling adventurous that day.
I tried them out that night and I love the face cleaner (3 oz Oil-Free Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Cleanser). You wet your face and rub the cleaner in for 30+ sec. After this step my face feels fresh and clean. I have been using these items for about a week now and the combo is a fast fav!
I am also a big fan of the First Aid Eye Cream. I love that I put it on and I can't feel it, yet I know it's working because each day my eyes are my best feature!
The Philosophy kit and First Aid Eye Cream are a great combo. The 30-day trial is a great way to try out the product and see if it works for you. And the eye cream may be a gateway product for me. I have my eye (wink wink) on several other products in each line.
If any of you have tried either of these products please leave me a comment about your experience and if you have any other great product suggestions!

Stay Beautiful!
