Welcome!
I'm Kaitlin, resident blogger!
I want to share my experiences living in the middle of Brisbane, specifically on my two passions: food and beauty. I am a cynic and I'm not going to pander, my opinion is what it is. take it or leave it, or you can laugh at it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to look back and laugh at some of the things I write.
Today's Review:
APIVITA: EXPRESS BEAUTY WITH GREEN CLAY , DEEP CLEANSING MASK
Today I woke up feeling not so fantastic after a very fantastic last night. After contemplating how horrible and cruel the sun was for shining in my window I reached a conclusion that it would be best to engage with "the system".
I wipe this one out after the rare occasion that my body was simple too weak to handle the fun of the last 12 hours. These sort of nights usually result in physically impossible anomalies! Your shoes suddenly turn into ankle eating monsters, lipstick lids magically have disappeared and makeup, which on any other normal day would disappear from your face , has now become emotionally attached despite the fact you remember going through a pack of makeup wipes and half a bottle of cleanser at 3 am.
I like to recuperate with a facial, I feel better, my skin appreciates it and it means that my fiance does the cleaning because he believes I'm suffering by spending so much time in the bathroom.
I went on a nail polish mission yesterday, wound up at Priceline and stumbled upon the Apivita products. There is literally something for all skin types. I'm acne prone, however, have sensitive skin therefore I am quite critical about the individually sold sachets.
Price: $7.95 -
It's not cheap for only two serves. It doesn't look like there is much inside the packaging but it is more than enough! The product glides on really smoothly, sets well and washes off easily. Plus you get to sit still and do nothing for 10 minutes :D
Pro's
What really sold me on this was there was no stinging. For me, clay masks that sell themselves on the premises of pore purging can start to irritate my skin after about five minutes so I end up washing them off. Express Beauty has a lovely cooling effect, which was muchly appreciated after last night. When I rinsed it off, my skin did feel a little tacky for a few minutes, however, it goes away and my skin was left smooth, clean and glowing. Another great thing about it was I could still facially express myself without my skin feeling overly tight and its now been 6 hours and my skin doesn't have the evening oily sheen it usually gets.
Ingredients
It claims 89% natural ingredients: lavender, Camilla, sunflower, aloe, propolis (what regulates the oil).
Free of: Parabens, Silicones and Propylene Glycol.
Nothing is Australian though, Its made in Greece.
Final thoughts
I will be buying this again, the price is a bit high for someone to use regularly on a student budget, It is worth it for a special occasion. Mothers day is coming up so I feel it will make it into a gift pack.
Check out their website for a full range of masks.
Hope you enjoyed my first review and let me know your thoughts!
Peace,
Kaitling
