WHEN facemasks review!*

I love to do facemasks especially at the end of a long week full of stressing out from everything anything or if I’ve been into London. I have fallen in love with the facemasks by WHEN recently because of how incredibly moisturising they are for your skin. My face goes through stages of being very dry to combination so when I was having a dry moment I used the WHEN ‘The last choice’ mask.

When the mask first came out of the packet it felt like a bit of plastic covered in face cream, it wasn’t until I unwrapped it that I realised it wasn’t! The facemask itself was sandwiched between two different bits of plastic to keep the moisture locked in. After applying the mask I looked like something out of a horror film that had its face peeling off! The mask had to stay on for 30 minutes so I went about re-painting my nails, having a full pamper session. After removing the mask there was still a bit of the moisturising product on my skin and according to the instructions you can just massage this into the face and neck… so I did just that. The product didn’t leave my skin looking oily at all and I was really worried that would happen. It also smelt really good!

I also tried the WHEN ‘Travelmate’ which I used after going into the city for the day. I felt like it did practically the same to my skin as ‘The Last Choice’ but was a lot more moisturising meaning it left me feeling quite a bit oily. It definitely left me feeling a lot more refreshed after being stuck in the city for the day.

Between the two I preferred ‘The Last Choice’ because it wasn’t as moisturising in the fact that I felt really oily afterwards! WHEN facemasks have quickly become one of my top 5 to use when I need a pick me up.

Tiger Days And The Secret Cat, Book Review*

 

When I was sent this book to review I got extremely excited by the fact it was a book that features cats.. my all time favourite thing if you follow me on twitter or snapchat.

The book itself is all about a young girl named Tiger Days that travels down to her grans house during the May half-term and stays there. The book follows the adventures she embarks on as she learns how to care for animals and help them when they may have become in danger. During her time at her grans Tiger Days becomes friends with Tom, a young boy that lives near by and also has a love for animals. Between the two of them they use their passion for animals to help those that need it.

At the beginning of the book Tiger Days dedicates her time to tigers and nothing other than tigers, meaning when her grandmother showed her a warthog she hated it. However through out the book Tigers Days bravery allows herself to overcome the hatred and she learns that she loves the animal.

It's not just in this part of the book that we see this attitude from Tiger Days because in other chapters we see how kind and caring she is towards all of the animals which I believe is a valuable life lesson to any younger child.

The book is aimed at young children (5-7) however if you are more in the double digits range don't hang back in reading the book because it was really enjoyable, especially because of the happy ending! Also the pages are all really pretty with little doodles and I thought that really added to the book.

I would give this book a 4/5!

Beautiful Summer Bouquet!*

England’s weather is pretty awful. Today especially, it is supposed to be sunny yet it is peeing it down with rain and has been since I woke up however many hours ago! One thing that can make any room seem a lot more like summer is flowers. I love the smell of flowers *sneezes* even if the pollen count is high, effecting my hay fever but it’s okay right... because flowers are pretty! 

I got sent the most gorgeous bouquet from Prestige Flowers called the Grandeur and also added in was a pink vase and some incredible mini praline chocolates. When you order flowers from them they also send a care guide telling you how to look after the flowers which for someone like me who managed to kill a cactus was really helpful! There is also a card telling you a little bit about all the flowers which also was helpful as I know about four.

The flowers arrived really quickly which shocked me because I thought it would be at least a week but really it arrived the next day! One thing that makes me nervous about ordering flowers online is that they will arrive damaged and id has to throw them out but my order from Prestige Flowers came secured in a tall box and wasn't damaged at all! There was also the quote above attached inside and it made me chuckle so I thought I would share it with you as well!

My bouquet has lasted over two weeks and is still going strong. The guide that it came with definitely helped because otherwise they would be dead the next day! If you want to order this bouquet then it is currently reduce from £49.99 to £34.99 so get it while you can at the lower price! The bouquet would be a lovely gift for a birthday or an anniversary! 

Thank you Prestige Flowers for such a beautiful bouquet I love it to pieces!
