Superdrug Face Masks

Firstly I must apologise for the lack of blog posts this week. I've had a pretty stressful and busy week and didn't want to do any half hearted posts so today I've had the time to get back to my blog and write some new posts.
When I'm feeling stressed I love to pamper myself, as it not only makes you look good but it makes you feel good too. Whether I'm simply spending 10 minutes on my nails or an hour pampering from head to toe, I think it's important to take some time for yourself each day, even if it's only 5 minutes!


When I had some time free and needed to have half and hour of relaxation I decided to do a face mask. This week I got around to using two face masks which I had bought from Superdrug a while ago. The first was the Tropical Cocktail Peel-Off Mask, this had quite a strong fruity and tropical smell, for some people I could see how they wouldn't like it but personally I loved it, I love tropical scented products, the tones of mango, coconut and pineapple remind me of being on holiday in the Caribbean. The second one I used was the Purifying Cucumber Peel-Off Mask, this had quite a neutral but calming scent. This mask left my face feeling cool, cleansed and soothed.

As with most peel-offs they are a bit messy to put on because of their gloopy gel texture but once you've put it on it washes off your hands really easily. I like to leave mine on for about 15-20 minutes, or until it's dried enough so that it will peel off properly. Both of these masks left my skin feeling refreshed and pampered with a nice soft glow. They cost 99p each but at the moment you can get 4 for the price of 3.

My Top 10 Nail Polishes


I haven't done a post on nails for a while now, and recently have been buying so many new shades that I have gathered quite a collection. Ever since I stopped nibbling my nails I've become addicted to looking after them and constantly putting a new colour on them. So today I thought I would share my top 10 favourite nail polishes.
 
I haven't put them in an order from 1-10 as I think it's pretty hard to put them in order. It all depends on what mood i'm in or what shade will match my outfit for the day. The one i'm using the most at the moment is the Look Nail Pop from Superdrug, the colour is 'Beret' and it costs £5 which I think is great value for a good polish.
 
Lately for some reason I have really wanted green nail varish, I have a light shade from OPI but wanted a darker green so I found this one by Rimmel. The thing I love about Rimmel nail varnishes is that they are great value, they are around £3-£4.
The bright blue polish from Barry M is lovely, i've never known it to chip and can last for days without a scuff.
 
I got the Missguided polish free with a copy of Cosmopolitan magazine last year. I love the shade. This year they gave another one away but that hasn't quite made it into my top ten.
 
6 of my top 10 shades are from OPI, I absolutely love their nail varnishes. They are of a great quality and offer an amazing amount of shades in every colour imaginable.

The next polish i'm on the look out for is a shade of green similar to the 'Hulk', if there is such a polish. So if anyone knows of a good one, please let me know!
