Fresh - Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask

As with age, you tend to feel that your skin is not as taut and firm as it once was. There are many products on the market that can provide a temporary feeling of firm skin. However, I was on the look out for something that would gradually help strengthen the collagen production and if not rid me of my laughter lines, at least blur them out.

I came across the Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. As stated on the Fresh website, "Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask with advanced antioxidants is a hydrating treatment that immediately reveals softer, firmer, healthier-looking skin. The innovative formula’s velvety whipped texture has an immediate cooling effect to refresh the skin and the senses."

I completely agree that the mask has a luxurious whipped cream sort of texture, which feels so light and airy. Once applied to the skin, it gives a cooling sensation and slightly begins to warm up. By no means is the feeling intolerable. You can tell that the mask is beginning to work it's wonders. I leave the mask on for about 15 minutes and gently wash it off with a muslin cloth, which leaves my skin feeling firm and hydrated.

I cannot say that the mask has done miracles. I would say that it is better than an average mask. My laughter lines are still there; they might have faded just a notch - nothing outstanding. I wouldn't recommend leaving the mask on longer than 15 minutes as I did develop small milia on my cheeks. Certainly do keep an eye on the clock to prevent that from happening. As always, do moisturize your skin even though the mask doesn't dry out your skin - it's necessary to do to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

Do let me know what you all think of the mask and if you have had the opportunity to try it out.

Cheers to Fresh and Hydrated skin!!

See you with another post very soon .. Love, Fatima

Mario Badescu Skincare | Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rose Water

Living with constant air conditioning in sunny, Saudi Arabia, my skin tends to lose moisture. I can't reapply moisturizers on top of make-up when I am on the go. So, I love to use facial sprays as they kill two birds with one stone. They are great for adding dewiness to the skin and also great pick me ups during the working day.

At the blink of an eye, we have already reached the mid-way of another year. It will be Fall soon enough and I thought to talk about a lip color which I find quite flattering to wear during the Fall/Winter of any year.

Origins | A Perfect World

I used to use a particular face wash some years ago and then strayed off the path in search for something different. I was raiding my beauty closet and luckily this face wash was still in date!! * happy days..wink * I decided to use Origins A Perfect World face wash and old memories just came flooding back. Origins A Perfect World This is a no brainer!! It is not complicated like some other face washes which you either have to apply on dry skin to activate the exfoliating enzymes or wet skin so it slides effortlessly so as to unclog your pores. With this face wash, you simply squirt a dime size of the gel/cream and I apply it on my wet face. I like to massage my facial washes to help me relax after a tiring work day. This is not only relaxing, but also helps clear out any grime which may be festering in my pores. After use, my skin was wonderfully clean without it being tight. Origin states the following: " Th...
