Mai Couture Blotting Paper Review

I have been sent over some blotting paper, which is something that I used to carry around with me pretty much all the time, I'm not actually sure why I stopped, its the perfect thing to keep in your hand bag to keep your face looking fresh! These papers from Mai Couture are certainly a lot fancier than anything that I have tried in the past!

They sent me a selection of their products to try, some where what I would describe as skincare there was the Rose Hip Oil Blotting Paper and Skincare Blotting Paper Vitamins C & E, these are blotting papers that are infused with rose hip oil and the second with added Vitamins C and E all of which are great for your skin!

They also sent a Bamboo Charcoal Blotting Paper, which to is great for blemish prone skin

The next few blotting papers are makeup ones, the conveniently contains makeup actually on the paper itself, which I found to be really handy! The first 2 are blush papers: Blush Blotting Paper shade Montecito and Shade Sunset BLVD these leave a lovely flushed look to your face.

Next there was a Foundation Blotting Paper Shade Golden Glow and a Highlighter Blotting Paper Shade Crystal Cove these were also great for little on the go touch ups or added that little glow when needed!

Pixi Glow Getters

I received some more items from the lovely people at Pixi, this time it was skincare. I have heard so many good things about the Glow Tonic it seems to be everywhere at the moment so I was excited to receive that to try. There is also the Glow Tonic To Go, which really excited me, as I am lazy when it comes to skincare and nearly always go for the easiest option, so these pre-soaked pads were appealing to me! Finally there was the Glow Mud cleanser. I have used mud masks and cleansers in the past but never something that combined the two, so I was excited to try this.

I love the idea of these pads as I have already said I am all for the easy option but I think these are also great for travelling. I have only used all of these items once so far. I will be trying to make more of an effort with my skincare especially in the evenings.

This is a Glow Tonic – described as an ‘exfoliating facial glow tonic’. It is said to help tone, firm and tighten the skin. Whilst removing dead skin cells for healthier looking skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and is alcohol free. So basically – it’s an exfoliating toner – so it removes dead skin via exfoliating chemicals rather than by scrubby bits.

Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser contains 5% glycolic acid and acts to deeply clean skin and reveal a smoother, softer complexion. It also contains moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and avocado oil!

Pixi’s Glow Mud Cleanser formula is very light. This a smooth cleanser that isn’t grainy so, it is more of a chemical exfoliating formula rather than a physical one. It doesn’t lather up. I personally didn’t feel like it worked great at removing makeup but it is a product that works well as a follow up treatment cleanser of sorts. If you double cleanse, this might be a great secondary cleanser to use or one to use on an already clean face as I didn’t feel like it broke down makeup very well.

I have to say I didn't notice much of a difference straight away, my face felt clean and almost tight but I do have to regularly use moisturiser as I do have dry skin. However I did notice after a few uses my skin looked a lot smoother and my makeup did seem to have a nicer finish
