shopping around for face masks

hello everyone ,so i decided that as much as i like using lush limited face masks ,there must be others less messy and better results and less drying on the market,
so i have decided on trying some other brands ,as i have received a few from beauty subscription boxes and not used yet i thought why not have a shop around .
the last peel off mask was not a success in that it never set to peel off and ending washing and scrubbing off,i remember when i was younger they would peel in large areas and use to be OK.

so first off I'm looking at sheet masks .
these seem the way they masks should be going and hope more come on the market soon ,less mess and stress free,
the brand i have chosen are missha pure source sheet masks.
animal free,made in Korea,widely available in Korea ,japan,china,UK,USA.

the aloe pure source sheet masks are for soothing the skin.
the pure cotton sheet mask is enriched with aloe Vera leaf juice ,it left my skin calm and very moisturised ,

raspberry pure source sheet mask for firming and nourishing skin.
enriched with raspberry extract,tightened up the skin but not overtly and was felt kinda plumped.

green tea pure source sheet mask,for moisturising and brightening.
green tea leaf extract,this seemed to make my eyes less puffy and also open my eyes up more .

pomegranate pure source sheet mask, damaged skin,
the pomegranate fruit extract,makes the dull skin firm and happy and healthy,
this definitely zinged the skin up.i used on my teen son and it helped the damaged skin and opened the pores up.

honey pure source sheet mask,moisturising and glowing,
made with honey  this woke up my tired skin and left it so moisturised and soft my skin looked clean and bright ,but then anything with honey in is good for the body ,

sample given
i received a honey sleeping pack

holika holika ,is a current Korean brand I'm using ,and these sleeping masks are lovely and thick like a balm type ointment.sleeping packs are worn through the night on the face ,as you sleep and when you awake you should be 10 years younger or such,holika sleep packs come in 3 types honey which i have ,blueberry,cherry,each pot contains 40%honey  to hydrate care for the skin.honey is known for its healing properties,and antibacterial use,i must say this didn't feel too sticky and washed off well.left my face clean and smooth.

anyway tell me have you used these ,i like the shu uemura masks and skII ,have you any face mask brands to recommend ,I'm currently prefering the sheet masks but if you have a good one i will put on my to try list ,so thank you for reading and welcome any brands you all recommend please.

candlewick greens wax order.

hello everyone ,today i am going to show you my new wax order ,
i order from Lisa at candlewick greens who has so many scents ,dupes ,that it puts other companies to shame,i along with many find these better than Yankee  and the like now .
you may of seen the advent calender she did last year i blogged about and will gladly get another this year.
you can find her here .http://www.candlewick-greens.com/scentslist.html
also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CandlewickGreens.
just to tell you is rather poorly presently and having a rest from work  but if you contact her via web page she may help with wax tarts if she has some made ,but bear with as she will soon be back with bang knowing Lisa.
right now a little  info .Lisa only uses highly scented soy/paraffin blends for her candles and tarts.they are all made with finest oils and fragrances and provide a clean burning candle .these wax tarts keep there smell for a good 20 hrs max ,not like some when half hour later you cant smell anything , i would defiantly recommend and have done already ,they make good gifts too.and yes i do pay for everything .

so here's my order below and i will go through each scent .some are only in ones as they are already burning.
