7th Heaven Pulped Papaya Rescue Masque Review

7th Heaven Pulped Papaya Rescue Masque*

Like most of you girlies (and maybe guys) reading this, I love a good old pamper.
 I probably write more about pampering and cosy nights in than anything else at the moment - I'm getting old before my time I tell ya!

On the top of my list of things to do when having a good old pamper is a hair mask. I love jumping in the shower for a relaxing 15-20 minutes and treating my hair and scalp to a thick and creamy treatment mask.

7th Heaven are always my go-to brand for face masks, at only £1 each and with something for every skin type you can't really go wrong, so when I heard that they were now creating fabulous sachets for hair I couldn't wait to try one out!

This is the Pulped Papaya Rescue Masque - a fabulous blend of potent botanical oils and papaya fruit that help to moisturise the roots and hair shafts.
 Plus the creamy formula tackles dullness and frizz, transforming your hair back to its full shiny, healthy glory.

I'm going to start with the one negative comment I have... and that is that, for me, there wasn't enough product. To have my hair covered root to tip in an even amount I would have needed just a little more than what was in the sachet. So if you have long hair you may need more than one sachet.

I squeezed out as much product as I could, covered my hair root to tip and left it while I went about my shower business for about 4 minutes.
The scent was lovely, a real strong fruity smell which lasted even after the mask had been washed out and my hair was dry.

Afterwards my hair felt so light, clean and knot free - I could even run my fingers through it straight after hoping out the shower.... this does not happen alot haha!
I really did notice an extra shine to my hair and an improvement with the dullness - which is something I'm really struggling with the moment as I'm waiting for it to be coloured next week!
I'm so pleased with the results from this mask, for £1 this is the perfect pick me up and I cannot wait to try out the others from 7th Heaven.

Check out the mask - here - it's a barry bargain!

Montagne Jeunesse 7th Heaven Coffee Mocha Mud Mask Review

I'm really sorry if you are getting fed up with me talking about £1 face mask sachets but I love a bargain and giving myself a little pamper so I feel the need to tell you all. In all seriousnes though, if you really aren't interested in these sorts of products please let me know!

So Montagne Jeunesse - my one true love for a good face mask - have a new collection/name - 7th Heaven! You may have spotted these on my instagram or my recent Boots haul already and I've finally got round to giving some of them a go, wahoo.

I'm not a coffee drinker but the sound of 'coffee mocha mud' sounded fab so £1 was spent and I had once again another mask to try out.

Whipped together ground coffee beans, kaolin clay and macadamia oil help to lightly exfoliate the skin before giving an intense cleanse.
The scent was okay, not my favourite of the MJ masks, if you love coffee you'll be a fan for sure. After applying in circular motions to fully exfoliate I let the mask set for 15 minutes.
Unlike other masks I've used this set fairly quickly which I loved, I'm a bit of a werido and love the feel of a hard clay mask on my face .... okay now I sound like a creep.

After the 15 minutes were up I washed it off and was left with fully rejuvenated skin. Although it felt oft, it did also feel a little dry so I'm not sure weather it was a bit much for my skin, but after applying my Liz Earle Skin Tonic and a bit of moistuiser it was fine and dandy once again.

The next mask I'm going to try is the 7th Heaven Banana & Honey mask and I cannot wait.

Anatomicals : Farewell The Scarlet Pimplehell Mud Mask

Anatomicals Farewell The Scarlet Pimplehell Deep Cleansing Mud Mask*

Treating myself to a little pamper is something I like to try and do weekly. Face mask, hair mask, tan, nails, I love being able to spruce myself up a bit within the comfort of my own home. I find it's ten times more comfortable and of course alot cheaper than going elsewhere to get things done.

Face mask sachets are overflowing in one of my bathroom drawers, I kid you not I think I have an addiction! 
You have probably seen me talk about the Montagne Jeunesse range many times before, they are a total bargain and work wonders for my skin so trying out new ones is one of my favourite beauty treats!
Anatomicals are another bargain beauty brand. I've used a few of their products in the past and always notice their cute and fun names whilst browse through the beauty section on ASOS.
So when I was sent this mud mask from them I was excited to try it out.

Recently have had a bit of a breakout, which isn't like me at all. I eventually put it down to the new serum I had been trying out and decided to stop using it. So really this deep cleansing mask could not have come at a better time.
The directions are easy - 1. dampen face with warm water and blot dry (this helps to open up your pores) 2. Apply sachet contents evenly to the skin avoiding the eyes, 3. Allow 10-15 minutes to dry, 4. Gentle soften and wipe off with a damp cloth.
Easy peasy!
The consistency was thinner than I thought, it felt like a creamy lotion and was super easy to apply. I didn't use the whole sachet on my face so this could probably be good for two uses or to share with someone else!
The scent wasn't my favourite - it reminded me of a smell of something my Mum used to use.... don't ask me what as I have no idea....but it wasn't unbearable.
There was a slight tingle in places on my face whilst the mask did it's magic but I just put that down to it's deep cleansing.
 After using my skin felt super soft and thoroughly cleansed.... I didn't ever want to put make-up on again haha, I wish m y skin could feel like that every morning!

You can check out the awesome Anatomicals range on ASOS - here - where you can actually get this mask in a pack of 3 for just £3 or you can  buy it individually on Amazon - here - for £2.24.
