UGUISU NO FUN HYDRATING MASK

UGUISU NO FUN HYDRATING MASK

Today I’ll be reviewing the UGUISU NO FUN HYDRATING MASK. 

 Uguisu No Fun Hydrating Mask treats chronic dry skin and is made from the feces of Japanese Nightingale Bird which is used by the elite class of Japanese women for hundreds of years to clarify, protect and illuminate the skin.

I found that both of these masks worked to the same effect and that’s why I’ll be reviewing them together. Now although I don’t feel as though I need to start using anti ageing products just yet as I’m only at the end of my teen years, I still find using any mask really refreshing and the perfect way to relax after a hard week!  This facial mask uses enhanced uguisu no fun and is produced using the ancient Japanese uguisu no fun making method. Enhance uguisu no fun means that the unnecessary components of the Japanese Nightingale's droppings are removed such as ammonia, uric acid, and dead bacterial debris. Enhance uguisu no fun is 4 times more effective than normal uguisu no fun and has no musky odor. This facial mask is UV sterilized and is 100% free from dirt and bacteria.

There are only 4 very simple steps to follow when using the masks:

1. Mix one teaspoon of Uguisu Poo Powder with warm water to make a paste.

2. Apply mask to the face and smooth evenly into place.

3. After 20 mins, remove the mask and rinse (your face) with clean water.

After the 20 minutes, I removed the mask then rinsed my face and found that yet again, the mask had worked really effectively on my skin. My skin looked much more refreshed and brighter while it was left feeling very soft and smooth, a definite improvement in texture. My skin felt firm but didn’t feel dry nor did it have an uncomfortable tightness. Any dryness or minor flaking that I had on my skin was now gone and my skin overall felt much more fresh and hydrated thanks to the moisturising effects of the mask. Even the next day, my skin continued to feel as good as it did if I had just removed the mask. 

What I love about Uguisu No Fun Masks is that you’re able to feel the effects, even days after using the mask which really shows that they work well and penetrate the skin instead of giving just a short term improvement.

Once again, I have enjoyed using the Uguisu No Fun Masks. I find them so easy and simple. You can really see and feel the effects of these masks on the skin both immediately and as the days go by and are the perfect option to go for if you’re looking for some in home pampering at a low price and great results!

L'Occitane Repairing Shampoo for Dry & Damaged Hair

L'Occitane Repairing Shampoo for Dry & Damaged Hair

 I had a sample of this a while back. The conditioner and the mask didn't impress me so I didn't even plan to use it, but when I did, I remember feeling such a noticeable difference that I was genuinely impressed by it. I remember drying my hair and thinking holly smokes what did I use because my hair felt so nice, so it was on my wishlist ever since. It's meant for dry hair and it has 5 essential oils in it (angelica, lavender, geranium, patchouli, ylang-ylang). Ingredientshere. 

What I Bought in France and Other Recent Purchases

What I Bought in France and Other Recent Purchases


It's been more than two weeks since I've returned from France, but I wanted to a least try some of the products before I wrote anything. I didn't get much stuff. Strangely I left Sephora empty handed, but I did purchase a couple of things in Yves Roche, Douglas and Carrefour.


I already reviewed the Dream Touch blush here -> click.


I got two things in Douglas: I love... peaches & cream set and Bourjois Magic Nail polish remover.
I love... peaches & cream set includes a shower gel, lotion and a mesh bath sponge in the prettiest light peach colour. Both products have a nice peach-mixed-with-a-bit-of-cream scent, so sweet and fruity. Actually, it reminds me a bit of Britney Spears' Midnight Fantasy, or at least on how it smells on me. I was quite impressed by the lotion, because it's thicker than I thought it would be and it moisturises well.


Bourjois Magic Nail polish remover really cuts the amount of time you spent on removing nail polishes to a mere couple of minutes. I'm sure most of you already heard about this product. I do like it a lot, however, it is way to expensive for what it really is (I paid over 8€), so a bit of sponge with some remover. I'm just waiting for cheaper knock-offs to appear on the market. It does smell nice, like fruit and vanilla, also it leaves your fingers and nails quite moisturised, so it is better than your run-oft-he-mill nail polish remover.


I left Yves Rocher with two items: LE fragrance Mango and Passion Fruit and Monoi de Tahiti oil. I regret purchasing the latter as, if I use the description of my (male) friend, it smells like grandma. Ok, that's a bit harsh, but it is a bit to flowery for me (a lot of people like it a lot, judging by the good reviews on MUA). I expected a nice coconut-beachy fragrance and this is not it. But it does have a nice consistency and sinks into the skin quite fast.
The mango-passion fruit fragrance is lovely. It's a typical summer-coctail-Escada type of scent and I really like it. It doesn't last long though. There was another LE fragrance, which smelled like pina colada, but I restrained myself from purchasing a small bottle of that too.



Last month I suddenly wanted some jasmine scented products and after some well executed Google searches, I found that Lush Flying Fox shower gel and Lust perfume fit my wishes best. Both have a very strong jasmine scent,Flying Fox also has a bit of honey mixed in. It's not the type of scent I'd love to smell every day, but sometimes I do like something different. Flying Fox is very runny and I hate Lush packaging with passion (does anyone else find their plastic bottles so damn hard to squeeze?), so in general I probably won't repurchase it. I much prefer my L'Occitane almond shower oil for pampering.
Lust solid perfume has a very strong jasmine scent that I think a lot of people wouldn't really like (my friend - btw the same as above- pointed out it's nice, but too strong). The scent lasts really long on the skin, also beware that it leaves red stains on clothes.




Ruby Kisses nail polish in Tropical Blend looks amazing in the bottle. It's an amazing bright pinky-coral shade that unfortunately translates into neon orange on my nails. And I don't like that, so it's a miss purchase for me. The quality of the polish itself is quite nice though.


Essence recently released a collection of 6 fragrances that are available in 50 and 10 ml bottles. After testing all, I liked the Like a First Day in Spring the most and I purchased a small bottle. It's again a very Escadaish type of scent, so very sweet and fruity, but also a bit fresh. Top notes: orange, tangerine, pineapple. Middle notes: rose, blackberries, praline. Base notes: musk, sandalwood, vanilla. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long (but so don't Escada fragrances for a much heftier price tag), I don't mind respraying it anyway. The 10 ml bottle is a great purse size and not that expensive, it retails for around 3-4€.

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 20 Meet Me at Coral Island

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 20 Meet Me at Coral Island

It's similar to the Bourjois 10 Days #25, but less pink and with a slightly better formula (there is still room for improvement). Comparison swatches will be in another post. I plan to get the Essie Cute as a Button as well, so I might wait with the swatches until then.

Lancôme Hypnôse Custom-Wear Volume waterproof mascara

Oh, I how like this. It is remarkably similar in performance to my HG mascara Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Feline Black Waterproof , but it's easier to find. I'll do a proper review of course. Currently, all mascaras in Müller are 20% off (until 24.8.2013) and also Feel Unique has a sale. If you need a good volumising mascara that holds curl all day, go grab yourself one.

Bourjois Shine Edition 21 Rouge Making Of

This is sooo lovely. An amazing orange based red that is actually properly pigmented for a shiny lipstick. You can tell you really like a lip colour, when you wear it every day two weeks in a row despite having a massive collection of other shades. Bourjois does not disappoint with their lipstick formulas, their Rouge Edition is my favourite one. Review soon.

Aveo Nail Polish Remover Pads

Aveo Nail Polish Remover Pads

They smell really nice, kind of lighty fruity and they are a bit oily, therefore moisturising, but the remover is so weak. I need a lot of rubbing to get the nail polish off as it so slowly (or barely) dissolves anything. 

L'Occitane Brightening Cleansing Foam

I really dislike cleansing foams, but this is so highly recommended on Makeup Alley that I decided to try it out anyway. I needed something for the morning that simply washes off, but usually gel and foam cleansers dry out my skin. I got the 50ml version to trial and I'm planning to do a cleanser comparison post, so a proper review will be posted then, when I thoroughly try all of them out.

Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel

Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel

Another small size cleanser (50ml) to trial. As the name suggests, it's a gel cleanser, but it first turns to oil on dry skin and then when water is added, it lathers into a foam. Again, review will be posted with other cleansers.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

I only got the 30ml size of eBay, but I have a feeling it will last me quite a while. It's a super moisturising mask for dry/dehydrated skin with a fruity scent (some say peach, but I have a basket of them next to me and such claims only make me wonder if they ever really smelled a peach before). My skin is feeling really comfortable at the moment, so I think I will be able to test it's full potential in winter, but so far I really like it.

Balea eye makeup removing pads waterproof

Balea eye makeup removing pads waterproof

These are so oily! Honestly, I never had pads or wipes that would be so soaked. They feel very greasy and it is like putting vegetable oil on my face plus they smell like it too. They do remove waterproof mascara completely, however, I need a separate remover to get rid of mess the oil leaves. I'll use them up, but the Maybelline remover is miles better.
