FACE MASK COLLECTION

Face masks in my opinion have become so big recently and so many brands seem to bringing out new ones. I've picked up a lot recently and found some that I love and some that are just okay! I tend to use a mask once or twice a week I have the time and pick one depending on how my skin is feeling. Most of this collection is pretty affordable and you will find it in the drug stores.

Quick Fix Collagen Lift Mask | £4.99 

I'm so impressed with the masks from this brand and the Collagen lift mask is the most recent one i've tried out - i'll come to another of my favourites later on! I picked up the collagen lift one as my skin can sometimes feel tight and collagen is known to improve the elasticity. The formula is clay based with hyaluronic acid and vitamin e to plump the skin with moisture and also Passion flower oil to hydrate the skin. Although I did think this mask was okay it hasn't impressed me loads.

Good Things Manuka Honey Face Mask | £5.99

I picked up this one as a dupe for the Antipodes Manuka Honey mask. Again this is a clay based mask and the key ingredient is obviously Manuka Honey. The honey is well know for helping skin rejuvenate, hydrate and be left with a fresh feeling. However, with it being a clay mask it does dry hard and leaves my skin feeling a little tight.

Quick Fix Brightening Peel Mask | £4.99

I really love using the peeling masks and its probably partly because of my inner child coming out who loves peeling PVA glue off their hand - please say someone else used to do this?! Anyway this mask is a gel base that you apply all over your face and once it dries you just peel away. The brightening part comes as it help cell renewal for glowing skin. When I use this I can definitely see my skin is more even and brighter.

KIKO Purifying Mask | £8.90

I've tried to find this on the KIKO website but they must have changed all of their skincare range and the one in green packaging is now called the Shine Refine Mask, which does have purifying on it. Anyway this is another clay based mask but its still quite refreshing as it is scented with cucumber. This mask is mainly for combination to oily skin as it removes impurities, cleanses the pores reduces excess oil, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with dry skin.

The Body Shop Warming Mineral Mask | £10.00

This is another one that the packaging seems mohave changed on but i'm assuming the rest is all the same. The warming part of this mask is so lovely and I can really feel the mask sinking into my skin. This is another one for oily skin as it draws out any extra oils and cleanses away impurities. 

L'Oreal Pure Clay Glow Mask | £5.00

This is the most recent addition to my collection and the new launch my L'Oreal. They've been out about a month I think and have seen so many people using them I had to pick one up, especially since they are on offer in Boots for £5. I went for the Glow mask instead of the purity or detox mask as I didn't have anything like it in my collection. The Glow mask contains red algae which is known for its brightening properties. The formula is creamy but also contains micro beads to to exfoliate the skin at the same time. I have used this once so far and did notice my skin was glowing a little.

Lush Cupcake Face Mask | £6.95

This has got to be one of my favourite masks purely for the amazing smell it has. One of my favourites things about Lush is that the products contain all natural ingredients so you know exactly what is going on your face. The Cupcake mask contains Rhassoul mud, cocoa powder which both help draw out dirt and give the skin a deep cleanse, mint for stimulating and toning the skin.

Origins Ginzing Peel off Mask | £24.00

I picked up this mask as one of my moisturisers is the Origins Ginzeng one. The mask is a peel off so its a gel like formula that helps refresh your skin and refine and smooth out your complexion. I have used this once since getting it and its definitely quite an intense treatment, when I applied it there was quite a strong alcohol smell so i'm assuming there is a lot in the product. With the high amount of alcohol I wouldn't recommend it for people with really dry skin. When I used this I found that my skin felt a lot clearer and smoother since the dead skin cells have been lifted away.
