Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask Review.


When shopping the other day i ventured into boots as it was triple points & quite frankly it was rude to not take advantage! So i picked up the Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Face Mask as i have heard a lot of good things about the serum seeing as its a favourite of Kylie Jenner's (Nip + Fab brand ambassador) & thought i would try the face mask! This was retailing at £14.95.


As far as packaging goes its pretty simple but as for the bold burnt orange tone i really like it, as i can associate it with the thought of dragons blood! Also i like Nip + Fab packaging as its pretty quirky and modern.



What Nip + Fab say:
An intensely hydrating gel mask combining multiple skin perfecting complexes to plump the look of wrinkles and refine the
skin's appearance for a brighter, more youthful looking complexion.
Contains: Dragon's blood (from the Croton Lechleri tree):forms protective film on skin to protect against environmental aggressors Salicylic acid: cleanses pores + aids exfoliation Hyaluronic acid: hydrates + refines skin texture Glycerin: draws water to outer layer of the skin keeping it moisturised + helps restore skin suppleness TEGO Cosmo C 250: brightens skin + fades age spots



So when first trying the product it came out quite thick in a clear liquid form and the smell i would describe as a spa like smell fairly strong and not particularly appealing but something you can deal with. Nip + Fab instruct you to apply it in a thick layer for 10 minutes & then rinse with warm water but you can also leave it on overnight and rinse in the morning. 
When the mask was on it left your face shiny and the texture was sticky but it felt pleasant on the face, as someone with sensitive skin it didn't irritate me at all.
Afterwards my skin felt very soft and refreshed & also looked brighter. But the main thing i noticed was how it plumped up my skin and the laughter lines around my eyes ( not wrinkles ssh) were a lot less noticeable. Any masks which hydrate my skin are perfect in my eyes!

Nivea Cleansing Mousse Review



So i was wondering around Tesco after pay day and was looking down the skincare/make-up isle & stumbled across the Nivea Soothing Cleansing Mousse. This really peaked my interest as Ive personally never seen the concept of a cleansing mousse (I'm sorry if there's lots out there & Ive been hiding under a rock maybe) so i just had to buy it! I picked up the one for dry & sensitive skin for £4.50 which is a bargain for a cleanser.


The product comes with a pump which i love as pumps are so much more hygienic. When i first pumped out this product i was so surprised as to how it came out, it was literally like a mousse, i dont quite know what i was expecting but it wasn't that!

When rubbed into the skin it becomes foam like and is very light! When i was rubbing this onto my face it felt very nice, the smell is mild but also refreshing, i just rinse this off with water or a muslin clothe. I hardly use any product with each cleanse so that's also something i love.

So lets move on to the facts!

NIVEA® Daily Essentials Soothing Cleansing Mousse enriched with Natural Almond Oil & Hydra IQ::
  • Cleanses the skin deeply but mildly
  •  Moisturizes the skin to keep its natural moisture balance
  • Provides a great cleansing experience thanks to its very soft foam formula and its pleasant scent
  • The formula with Almond Oil is mildly caring
  • The skin is deeply cleansed, soft and refreshed, looking healthy and beautiful
Overall i love this product! it really is great for dry sensitive skin and leaves it feeling fresh and nourished, in fact my skin is at its best after using it every day & night. I prefer this so much over any expensive cleansers i have used so far.

Let me know what you think if you try this product :)
