Montagne Jeunesse: Exotic Fruits

Being a busy little bee, i never really get the chance to treat my skin. I'm terrible with removing my make up at night and I hardly ever remember to moisturise and give my skin the care it deserves. Now we're heading into an abyss of colder weather, it's really important that i try a little bit harder to look after myself. Therefore i've been really enjoying these little face masks from Montagne Jeunesse. They are so quick and easy to use, I don't have to take any time out of my busy schedule. Not only that, but they provide natural skin care suitable for vegetarians so it makes me feel good knowing i'm not using any harmful chemicals on my skin.

I've tried a fair few of these masks now as you will know if you've been following from the very beginning, yet the new Exotic Fruits range is my favourite so far. The range includes the Prickly Pear Peel Off, the PawPaw Peel off and the Dragon Fruit Sauna. I've only tried the pear one so far, and i just loved the smell, the colour and the application. The ingredients for this one included prickly pear, mangosteen (the "queen of fruits"), and melon which are some of my favourite fruits anyway and it just smells divine. It also has a really girly pink colour and left me with noticeably smoother skin. The peel off masks have always been my favourite because i find it entertaining and rather therapeutic peeling it off when it dries. It reminds me of peeling PVA glue off your fingers as a child! Did anyone else do that?!

I'm quite excited to try the Dragon Fruit mask because it's self heating - just what we need in this blast of winter weather so i'm off to try that now! The Exotic Fruits range are now available priced at £1.29 each and can be found at ASDA, Boots and www.montagnejeunesse.com

Purity Organic Skincare

I was very lucky to receive a few products from Purity Organic Skincare for review purposes and i have to say, i am a convert to this brand. They are not only fantastic quality, but also extremely affordable, each product being under £10. I've really enjoyed using these products, not only are they completely practical, but they have an element of luxury about them too.

The first product i'd like to talk about is the facial wash which is "a blend of sweet almond oil & aloe vera in a plant/sugar based foam to cleanse, soothe & protect your skin." I use this after removing the majority of my make up with a baby wipe, and then gently massage this onto my skin. It really does leave my skin feeling cleansed and soothed. My favourite things about this product is the texture and how it becomes a foam-y lather. It makes the application so much smoother. These products are also certified organic so it feels like you're giving your skin star-treatment. (£4.99)

Next, i'm really excited to talk about this product, it is most definitely my favourite in the range. The regenerating overnight moisturiser is the most rich and creamy moisturiser i think i've ever tried. The texture feels buttery, it really is just lovely and i will be re-purchasing this, i feel like it's one of those life changing products where once you try it, there's not turning back! Because it's so rich, you only need the smallest amount so it will last you ages. My friend tried some of this when she stayed over and agreed with me, it's a lovely product. All the products are fragrance free too, so they suit all skin types. (£7.99)

The anti-ageing moisturiser is also a lovely product, however if you've been following me for a while, you'll know i'm not a huge fan of anti-ageing products. I feel like it's always good to prepare, but my skin's still in the teenage-stage at the moment! I like the idea behind this product though, Purity have used only a handful ingredients which are supposedly "intelligent" ingredients to exemplify that "less is more" in beauty. A few of these ingredients include: coconut oil (my favourite!), sweet almond oil, avocado oil and cranberry seed oil. (£7.99)

I'm not a huge fan of mask's simply because i get really uncomfortable with things just sitting on my skin, but i gave the anti-aging serum and mask a try and i was pleasantly surprised with the effects. I don't think i'll be using this much, but i can appreciate the way it helps to repair and tone the skin. I'll be saving it for days when my skin needs that extra boost. This would probably make a lovely gift for mums, aunts, grandma's etc, for £8.99 it's still affordable and you get a really generous sized product.

I was pleased to receive the facial moisturiser because i don't have any good ones and i find that my neck can get a little grubby without using an exfoliator. However, because i have sensitive skin, i find it hard to find a product that's not too harsh. This purity one has been lovely to use, and it really deep cleanses my my pores. I only use this a couple of times a week though because i don't want to irritate my skin too much. This product also has coconut shell and coconut oil in it, placing it solidly in my favour! (£5.99)

Finally (if you got this far, give yourself a pat on the back!), another one of my favourites in the range is the conditioning cleansing lotion make-up remover. I love the feeling of this product, it's lovely and cooling on my eyes when i take off my make-up and it feels quite refreshing which is sometimes what you need after a long day. Sometime's i use this in conjunction with the facial wash and my face ends up feel cleansed, refreshed and moisturised.. perfect combination if you ask me?  (Super affordable at £4.99)
