Porridge Face mask!!!

You will need:

1 sachet of porridge oats

2 table spoons of honey

Half a lemon

Milk (Use depending on how thick you want your mixture)

I have run out of honey so I'm going to use lemon.

Step one:

pour the milk and oats into a microwaveable bowl (this is when you would also add the honey). Mix these together.

Step two:

Cut a lemon in half and squeeze one half into the mixture and stir. Then place in the microwave for two minutes on full heat.
Step three:
when ready take out of the microwave mix again and leave to cool until its warm, you may need to ass more milk. Its important to apply the mask when its warm because the warmth will open your pores.

Step four:
When the mixture feels warm to the touch, apply all over your face and leave for around 15-20 minutes.

Step five:
When time is up wash the mask off of your face gently with warm water and pat dry.

Benefits of these ingredients:

OATS and MILK:
The oats and milk in the mixture softens the skin and as an exfoliater to remove the dead skin cells as well as removing acne causing bacteria's and oils. They will also gently remove debris from your pores without clogging them and will leave your skin glowing!

HONEY:
Honey is an amazing Anti- Oxidant proven to help reduce impurities from the skin and it will also help battle mild acne and will restore skins texture due to its Anti-Microbial properties and will help repair the skin from sun and daily environmental damage to the skin.

Lemon:
Lemon juice is also amazing for the skin, they have Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal properties to them which will help to heal acne and remove black heads. The juice of a lemon also helps lighten dark spots and blemishes, the juice will also help to reduce oil on the skin.

Hello Everyone!!

I've been wanting to do a review on this for a while but I wanted to make sure that I used it a lot to get a fair opinion on it!

I was always quite sceptical of the naked palettes because they are priced at around
£36.00 (it may have gone up now but that was how much it was when I bought it) but I was sure that you could find a high-street/drug-store dupe that was just as good, however after hearing so many people raving about how amazing it is I decided to buy it and it did not disappoint! I use this palette every day, I LOVE IT.

This palette contains 12 colours that you would easily be able to achieve multiple looks with. 10 of the colours are shimmery ans 2 of them are matte with the tiniest bit of glitter in them. The palette also comes with a make up brush however I do not use it.

All of the colours in the palette are extremely pigmented ( I will leave pictures of swatches below) even without primer, obviously they would be a bit brighter with primer but you could easily go without which I think is very hard to find especially in a high-street/drug-store brand of eye-shadow. The product also stays put for hours however is very easily removed with make up remover or wipes.

The colours in this palette are: browns, golds, pinks, purples and greys therefore many looks can be achieve from a glam golden goddess eye look to a dark smoky party look.

I will include some different pictures of me wearing the eye-shadows down below.

The colours that I use for my everyday make up are: Virgin (to highlight brow bone) Sin (to highlight the inside corners of my eyes) side car (eyelid) Half Baked (blended next to Side Car on eyelid)

Smog (blended next to Half Baked on eye lid) and Dark Horse (blended into crease).

All though this palette is not cheap it lasts an extremely long time! I've had mine for a year and I haven't even hit pan on any colours yet, this is amazing considering I use it every day, as well as this all of the colours look exactly the same on your eyes as they do in the palette so I think it's definitely worth the price! and I will be purchasing the other palettes too!

If you have any requests on what you would like me to blog about next then please lave a comment below :)
