What's That On My Face!

What's that on my face? It's a paper mask! 

This month in my IPSY.com glam bag I received these paper masks. I waited till this weekend to try them out so that if I had a reaction I would have the weekend for my face to recover! lol 

I tend to have oily skin so I used the Purifying Star Fruit. It is to purify and help control oil. The Blue Agave is for hydration and the Rose is for brighter skin. 

So step one is to wash your face with your regular cleanser. 

I use Mary Kay Timewise 3 in 1 cleanser for oily to combination skin. I have been using it for two years now and it is the best cleanser I have tried. Like ever. 

Step two, unfold the mask and peel paper from the liner and discard. It is very wet and floppy once you remove it from the liner. 

Step three, apply to face and smooth out. This thing looks like something from a horror movie! The eye holes are weirdly close together. It does stay on very well till time to remove. It says to keep on for five to ten minutes. I think I left mine on for five.

The last step is to remove the mask and throw away. 

Now your first natural response would be to wash your face. Ehh wrong! Don't wash your face! The product will seep into your skin after a few minutes of having the mask off. It is kind of sticky feeling for a while (as you can probably tell in my picture below). So if you plan on doing this, I would do it when you aren't planning on going anywhere for a while. Bed time might be the best option. 

I can't really tell you if they work or not. I will tell you, my daughter and I had fun trying it out! Do you have any beauty products that you use on a regular basis? I would love to hear what you use!

QUAKER BACK TO SCHOOL

A BzzAgent post.

Being part of Bzzagent.com gives me the opportunity to try and review items that I might not other wise try. Recently I was able to be part of the QUAKER BACK TO SCHOOL campaign. They sent a box full of different snacks for me and my family to try out. I was excited for this one. The whole family gets to help me out with trying the snacks!

First out of the box was the Popped Cheddar Cheese. The kids liked them a lot. I think they tasted very similar to cheese puffs. Took me back to my days as a kid! lol

Then there is the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. There are seven packs of 4 cookies. They are not too crunchy but definitely not uncrunchy. I like them ok. I am not really into peanut butter cookies. The kids love them though!

Third was the Real Medleys, Peach Almond Multigrain fruit and nut bar. These are awesome! I have not shared these at all. I take one every day to work as a mid morning snack. It holds me over till lunch. I normally don't like nut bars, but these are great with the peach to soften the nut flavor. I will be getting more of these!

Last but not least the Oatmeal Squares. They are good. I like the brown sugar flavor. I don't know if I would buy it again. I guess it depends on the price per size package. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad. I just like my Honey Bunches of Oats!

They also sent some awesome coupons to go with it! The coupons are for everything in the box and also some things that weren't in the box to try. I might be trying more Quaker stuff in the near future!

So there you go. I think it was a pretty cool campaign. I would love to see more like this one in the future!
