Review: LUSH Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

It's no surprise that I love me a good face mask. But finding an awesome mask can sometimes be harder than expected. 

Though I do favor cloth face masks most times, I think I've found something that will forever be in my skin care regiment. And if you can't already tell by the title, it is the LUSH Oatifix Fresh Face Mask. Not only does this mask make my skin feel so refresh and soft after just one use, it's made of all natural ingredients. 

I've tried other masks from LUSH before but I'm going to have to say that this is by far my favorite. It's made mainly with bananas and oatmeal (hence the name) so it targets towards dry and sensitive skin.

Since I've been flying more often than usual, I noticed that my skin was really irritated and dry. Let's be honest, my skin was pretty much yelling at me. I needed something to calm it down; which is how I cam across this! Knowing that oatmeal helps with irritations, I decided to give this a shot! And boy oh boy am I glad. 

The consistency is very thick. Once you apply it on your face, it'll clump together, which is fine because as you're washing it off, it'll help act as a exfoliator. But personally, I like to generally apply a thin layer but lather up on areas that I have bigger pores, i.e around my nose area. After which, I let it sit for about 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water; scrubbing along the way. 

Immediately you'll notice a difference. Not only is the redness gone but your skin feels so soft! It's seriously amazing. Then I just apply my normal toners, moisturizers to end the night. And the best part is the next morning, the softness of your skin remains and you feel like you have new face to brace the new day! I've also noticed that this really helps when you are having a break out attack! I've noticed after a long trip, I'll have a slight break out. That's when I bust this baby out and it really tones everything down and helps my skin repair more quickly! 

It's safe to say that I recommend this face mask! It's seriously amazing and I don't say that often. I don't think there is a bad thing about this product that comes to mind. Besides the fact that the pot is too small! HA 

Enjoy!

London, Are You The City For Me?!

Life is all about exploring and adventuring new places. Some we stay for a short period of time and others we want to stay forever. 

Visiting London has always been a dream of mine and I'm lucky enough to have a career that allows me to do it on company time. Not only do I get paid to fly here, I also get paid to venture the city and do some long awaited sightseeing. 

London reminds me of a lot of places all mixed into one. The busyness and tube makes me think of New York. Everyone's constantly on the go and slow walking is unacceptable. The windy weather and overcast reminds me of my home, Seattle. The brisk air is almost conforting.

 

This ultimately makes me wonder, is London the next city that I should "adventure" for longer than 26 hours?! Walking around the city and becoming more and more cultured with every step, I can't help but want to accidentally miss my trip home and stay a little longer. 

And maybe it's their mesmerizing accents, but everything seems much more glamours here than back at home. I mean, com'on; nothing can sound bad with a British accent! 

I know that dropping my life and moving to London is definitely not in the plans right now but a girl can dream. And speaking from experience, dreams do come true!

Keep dreaming 💋
