I washed my face as normal and patted my skin dry before applying the nose strip, once applied I gave it a bit of a press to ensure it was fully adhered to my skin.
Once I applied the nose strip I left it on till it was completely dry which took around 10-15 minutes which was a nice quick process as some nose strips from other brands can take a lot longer to fully dry in order for you to peel it off. After I’d dried I began to gently peel back the edges to avoid the horrible feeling of my skin being ripped off, (we’ve all been there crying in agony due to a peel off face mask).
The strip came off fairly easily and wasn’t that painful at all I was surprised as a lot of nose strips I’ve used before tend to hurt a lot to peel off and leave my skin looking red and sensitive for an hour or two after wards which isn’t a nice look.
The nose strip actually worked quite well i could see some of my black heads on the strip and my skin did definitely look a lot clearer after I removed the strip, it definitely did it’s job at clearing my pores which is great. The strips also contain witch hazel which helps fight bacteria which cause spots and also helps reduce the appearance off spots too which is another great benefit!
Overall I really enjoyed using these nose strips and will definitely continue to use them in the future aswell as maybe try the other nose strips the brand sells too as they did a great easy job at clearing my pores.

Review
My first impressions of this shampoo were wow, the colour of the shampoo like all purple shampoos is such a stunning shimmery deep purple colour I absolutely love it, I was super excited to try this as I’m always looking for new toning shampoos to keep my blonde hair looking as good as when I get it done at the salon.
I love the scent of this shampoo it reminds me of their “go blonder” spray by John Frieda I use to use years ago. The scent isn’t too over whelming so if you aren’t a fan of scents you would still be able to use this as the scent is light and subtle it smells floraly and summery.
I washed my hair as normal using the purple shampoo, I did as instructed and left it on for about a minute or two to give the purple pigments a minute to work their magic and then I rinsed it off as normal, it didn’t stain my skin round my hair line which is good as I know some dyes and shampoos can do that.
The bottle is really big for the price and compared to other brand you get a lot more product so I definitely think it’s great value for money and will last you a long time before running out.
I styled and dried my hair as normal after rinsing the product out and I could definitely see a difference in my hair it was a lot shinier and more cooled down than before (for reference my hair is about a level 8/9 light blonde not your typical bright white blonde) my hair appeared more silvery and the yellow and orange tones were more toned and cancelled out, there wasn’t a drastic difference however there was still definitely a difference in my hair. This was my first use and it turned out nice so I will continue to use it and see if my hair gets even more toned over time with continuous use but I do have high hopes for this product so far.
Overall I love this shampoo for my blonde hair so far and can’t wait to continue using it I definitely prefer it to other drug store blonde shampoos and see a bigger difference in the tone of my hair.

I’ve been using this cleanser for a few weeks now and I’ve been loving it, it removes my makeup so well.
You only need a small amount of cleanser for your whole face and it removes even a full face of makeup with very little effort. I usually prefer to use this cleanser to remove a full face of makeup after a night out as it works much faster and much better than any of my other cleaners for breaking down the makeup fast.
It is a oily textured cleanser so you do need to give your face a good rinse off after removal to ensure all the product is washed off your skin and you aren’t left with any greasy film on your skin after wards. However it does wash off easily and is minimal effort to remove.
If you aren’t a fan of scents I wouldn’t suggest you try this cleanser as it does have quite a strong “essential oil” type scent to it however if you don’t mind a scent in your cleanser it is quite a nice calming scent.
The cleanser lasts a long time for the size of the tub I’ve been using it about 2/3 times a week For the last few weeks and I’ve only used about 1/3 of the tub which is great value for money as you will rarely run out of it!
Overall I love this cleanser and I think it does such a great job at removing even the toughest makeup super fast and with no effort at all, I can’t wait to continue to use it and definitely recommend it to anyone who struggles with removing their makeup

the mascara wand is really nice it grips every lash during application so your lashes look fuller and longer with minimal effort! Even the tiny lashes you can never grab hold of were coated with the blackest of black mascara formula which made my naturally light coloured lashes look amazing and stand out.
the formula isn’t drying on the lashes it doesn’t leave your lashes feeling hard and horrible, it feels super lightweight and like “my lashes but better” not clumpy or crusty, you also don’t have to worry about looking like a panda a few hours after application as the mascara doesn’t transfer or crumble all over your face which is a massive bonus! No more worrying
the Mascara lasts all day looking as good as first application on both the bottom and top lashes. The packaging is really nice it’s a heavy metal sort of feeling luxurious packaging different from classic plastic packaging for mascara which is nice
Unlike most of too faced products the mascara doesn’t smell like sweet peaches or chocolates so if your not a fan of scented beauty products you can still use this cult favourite mascara!
The mascara also dried quite fast so you could get on with the rest of your makeup without worrying you might mess it up
overall I love this mascara so far and definitely Recommend everyone tries it if they haven’t already it’s definitely worth the hype it’s an amazing mascara and it’s definitely worth the money

This liner is so black so matte and doesn’t budge even the tiniest bit once applied! It’s the best liner I’ve ever used no doubt about it the formula is perfect the only thing I could say would improve it is if the applicator was sharper for a more sharp liner wing! I applied this in the morning before work (it was a extremely warm day) and once I came home it was still intact and hadn’t budged, I still looked as flawless as when I left I just can’t get enough of it! I love it! Over all I definitely recommend you try this liner you won’t regret it it’s amazing -

This hair mask is amazing! It made my hair feel soooo soft and smell so nice.
It has three possible uses, hair mask, leave in conditioner or normal conditioner which is great as it saves you on money having to buy all three.
It smells like sweet bananas which I love, the scent is really strong and defo stays on your hair after you wash it off so if you aren’t a fan of scents this isn’t for you.
Once applied you leave it on for about 15 mins and wash it off then dry your hair as normal, I’m not kidding when I say you will see results instantly your hair will feel extremely soft I honestly don’t know how it does it it’s amazing!
My hair looked silkier felt softer was easier to brush and styled so much easier once I’ve straightened my hair it felt even softer usually it feels drier after I straighten it but it felt so soft.
Overall I definitely recommend this and it’s by far the best hair mask I’ve ever tried, even better than my Maui ones

I got this as a sample and I definitely won’t be buying it.
It’s extremely liquid and messy which I don’t like as it got all over my hands and trousers.
It smells like primer which is weird I didn’t like the smell at all I prefer my skincare products to smell nice and luxurious rather than cheap.
Once applied it soaked into my skin instantly but felt tacky and didn’t make my skin feel any different I wasn’t anymore moisturised than before I applied it.
Overall it wasn’t the best moisturiser I’ve definitely tried better products by Clinique and I won’t be purchasing it,

the mask didn’t have a scent really so If you don’t enjoy scented products this mask might be for you! I put my usual palm sized blob in my hand and applied it to my face this is when I discovered you definitely don’t need as much product as you usually would with any other mask or cleanser you only needed a small amount as the mask was thick and spread across the skin evenly it went quite far! The mask had a sort of cool menthol feel to it on the skin after I applied it, so it’s true to its “cooling” claims, it felt super relaxing on the face I think this would be really nice to use to relax after a stressful hot day, you could definitely feel it cleansing your skin deep down my pores felt tingly and I could feel the dirt being lifted from them, once I washed it off and had a look in the mirror my nose was red I’m guessing that’s due to the deep cleansing property’s of the mask but once I looked closer I can’t even explain how clean my pores were, I didn’t use anything in conjunction with the mask no cleansers or exfoliators just a plain bar of soap to wash my skin beforehand, my pores weren’t clogged anymore at all! I don’t know how but that’s what really excited me the most after using this mask! After I patted my skin dry I Noticed it didn’t make my skin feel tight or dry like some cleansers and mask do which is great as I know it isn’t stripping my skin if it’s natural moisture. Overall the face mask was nice and I’ll definitely be using it again on a more regular basis I’ve been loving it so far! I got this product for free in return for a review however these opinions are 100% honest and my own. -

I applied the hair serum to the mid lengths and ends of my towel dried hair it was easy to apply didn’t feel heavy or greasy on the hair and it soaked into my hair almost instantly so no waiting around for it to soak in before going in with your styling products etc, I used two pumps on the palm of my hand and worked it into my hair, two pumps is more than enough product! it says to use 1 and apply more if need be so I used two as my hair is a normal thickness and is fairly long. After my hair was completely dry it felt nice and healthy and soft I didn’t feel the need to go in with any other hair oils or serums to make it softer or smoother. overall I’m quite impressed with the shampoo, conditioner and serum it made my hair feel super nice and definitely true to the frizz free claims, I can’t wait to continue to use it in the future it will definitely be my go to combo for now!

I applied the conditioner to the mid lengths and ends of my hair and left it on for a few minutes I didn’t really time it as there wasn’t really any instruction on how long to leave it on so I left it on my hair the standard amount of time I usually would with any conditioner. the conditioner made my hair feel soft and silky, I also noticed the texture of my hair change almost instantly it made my natural curls super defined which has never happened with a shampoo or conditioner I’ve used before, so maybe if your after smoother more defined and frizz free curls you might like this range of products! once dry my hair felt soft and clean I was happy with the results it didn’t feel like my hair was weighed down with product at all which is great it just felt cleansed and soft! Overall I love the conditioner it felt nice on the hair and I can’t wait to continue to use it in the future! I got this product for free in return for a review however these opinions are 100% honest and my own. -
