Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Face Mask Review ♥

Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed - £11.50 Boots

Hellooo! I've had a mad obsession with face masks over the past couple of months.. I have no idea why, however, this Soap and Glory mask is the only one I have tried that I think is worthy of a good review on here!

I have been using this detox mask once a week on the desired areas of my skin which have the most clogged up & oily pores. This mask is the first of its kind I have tried, I found it a little confusing to use at first as you have to apply the mask onto your desired area of skin, then wet your hands and massage it in, I've never had to do this with a mask before, but it works well. It turns a bright blue colour once you've added water, which looks awesome (a new, all the rage, foundation colour for sure.. ha). 

This product is aimed at oily/combination skin which is great. It gets rid of pore sebum and also helps to prevent breakouts. This is a self heating mask which is something I love in face masks, it feels like it is actually doing something to my skin! As the face mask starts to cool down it brings a different, cold and tingly sensation to my skin, which feels like the mask is still working it's magic.

This mask gets right down into your pores and cleans out your skin, leaving it feeling very soft, fresh and oil free after you have washed it off with a cloth and warm water. I love the smell this mask has too, it smells like a typical face mask but with a slight fresh difference.

I highly recommend you try this mask, it is worth every penny and a small amount goes a long way!

Whats In My Bag?

 I love reading these posts, so I hope you like them too! I just love seeing what other people have in their bags, you can learn a lot about the person by just seeing the contents of their bag I think.. 

Well, this is my bag, I am sure you have seen it on YouTubers videos and blog posts before, I just couldn't resist it when I seen it the first time on YouTube. I got mine from eBay if you type in 'studded leather bag' or 'studded barrel bag' there should be different versions available. I need a big bag because I carry a lot of junk.. but I always need the 'junk' at some point, I like to be organised! This bag is huge so it is perfect for me.

Hand Maid Sanitizer from Soap and Glory is THEE nicest smelling hand sanitizer ever. I usually purchase this along with the mini 'hand food' and body butter whenever there is a 3 for 2 in boots as they are only 2.50 each and one free obviously. I can't be anywhere without hand sanitizer as the thought of germs makes me feel eughhh! I hate public transport, door handles, shopping trollies, restaurants, the list goes on. 

I have never liked the really chemically smell from most hand sanitizers ad I had been on the hunt for one that smelled fresh but not over powering and I have finally found it!

 Body spray for when I cant be bothered spraying perfume all over me. Tissues because I usually always need them, not particularly for my nose but I always manage to spill something or have a smudge of makeup somewhere. 

'Hand Food' is something I love carrying because I love the smell of it and I need it to use on my hands in this cold frosty weather!

I got this mini hand warmer for my Christmas, I love it! I have cold hands all the time, even on hot summer days, my hands are frozen! So this hand warmer is brilliant! It comes with its own knitted case and everything. There is a metal element inside that you snap and it instantly warms up and holds a heat for quite a long time, to reuse it you just put it in a pan of boiling water for about 10 minutes. 

I like carrying this coin purse because I usually get tips from clients in my work so I put them in this coin purse to put into my money tin when I get home. 

A bobble! I always loose bobbles so I try and always have one in my bag! 

Chewing gum kind of explains itself.

 My phone.. I couldn't live without my phone. It is the HTC one x, I am a bit of a tech geek so I love having high performance phones and this one is the best I have had yet, I have everything on it, my favourite app has to be instagram! my username is @magickruby. 

I nicked this purse off my mum, it is a Suzy smith one and I love the size of it! I find the Suzy Smith purses are always really good quality. It has my ID, bank card and money and random stuff in it.

I always carry perfume. I love the smell of this one which is 'Loverdose' by Diesel, it smells of liquorice and a mix of other things, I would recommend giving it a spray next time you are in a perfume shop. 

I always hit my nails off of something so I need my nail file, I got this case with a set of files from Primark which is useful because it stops the emery board scratching anything else in my bag. 

I always take blog notes, blog ideas and lists of things so I like to carry this basic notepad about. 

Finally my new hamster phone cover, I have never had a hamster but I like them so my brother decided to get me this as part of my Christmas, my phone doesnt fit into many phone socks as it is far too big but this one was specifically for my phone size and I love it, it protects it really well and is spongy so nothing hits off of it.

I hope you enjoyed this post, I know it would be better in video form but I don't have enough confidence to go on camera just yet! 

Have you done a 'whats in my bag' post? link it below if you have, I would love to read it :)

My December Favourites

Here is a few pictures of my favourite things throughout December, these are also featured on my Instagram  which you can request to follow, my username is in the description 

Lauren Conrad 'Beauty' is such a good book! I would 100% recommend this, I love reading it, it covers everything! makeup, nail art, skincare, hairstyles and more.

I got my nails done at work with Shellac gel nail polish, I thought that with it being the festive season I would get gold glitter on one of them to, Shellac nails is usually between £15-£30 depending on where you go for it and they last 3/4 weeks without chipping. I have been loving Soap and Glory's Hand Food, in the cold weather, it is brilliant and leaves my hands so smooth! In the background is a page from Company magazine, which is my all time favourite mag! It features blogs and blogging tips, makeup and nail art and more it has absolutely everything in it that a girl could want to read!

'Daisy' by Marc Jacobs is a summery scent but I think I can get away with wearing it all year round, unfortunately it has just finished so I need to buy a new one! :(

Pink and Blue fizzy bottles! I had looked all over my town for these sweets and nowhere seemed to sell them, I remember I used to get them every week from the ice cream van when I went to school and I could never find them anywhere else BUT I finally found them in one of the sweet shops in town when they got them back in stock so my boyfriend got me a huge bag full, safe to say they are all gone now!

This book is so lovely! I love all the Cath Kidston decor and this book basically tells you how to have a vintage home and how to create and decorate things, I would recommend buying this book if you too like the vintage, country house style!

What was your favourite things from december?
