Beautifying Smoothie/ Batida Embellecedora!




 I'm having one of those super lazy days where all I want to do is eat and watch TV. I want to avoid eating too much junk food, so I was looking for something that is quick to make and filling. And why not one that makes you beautiful too?! I love this recipe for an antioxidant smoothie. Remember, antioxidants slow down the aging process and are super important to help keep our skin looking fresh and beautiful! It's also very filling so I wont have the urge to eat crappy food.  

Delicious Beautifying Smoothie:
1 cup blueberries (preferably frozen)
1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
1 banana
few ice cubs (as desired)
1 tablespoon flaxseed (optional, great for Omega 3, for super shiny hair)
1 tablespoon acai powder (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a blender and voila! Beautifying and delicious!! 

Good Luck Xxx

Hoy estoy teniendo uno de esos días de vagancia donde todo lo que quiero hacer es comer y ver la televisión. Pero quiero evitar ingerir demasiada comida basura, por lo que estaba buscando algo que es rápido de hacer y llenado. Y ¿por qué no uno que me hace muy hermosa?! Me encanta esta receta de batido antioxidante. Recuerde, los antioxidantes frenan el proceso de envejecimiento y son súper importantes para ayudar a que nuestra piel un aspecto fresco y hermoso! También es muy abundante, así que no tendrás el impulso de comer comida basura.

Tried And Tested: Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Mask!


I went in to LUSH to restock on some bath bombs and body creams, of course I started talking to the sales associates and whining about how badly I've been breaking out when she recommended I try catastrophe mask. After I read the front and saw that one of the ingredients were blueberries I was sold, blueberries are rich in antioxidants and are great to eat and also in skincare so I thought this has to be good!

Sorry For The Blurriness :(
The sales associates explained to me that I should wash my face before applying this and to keep on my face for 10 minutes. This is a fresh mask so it has to be kept refrigerated.

Voila! After removing the mask. 
My first impression was really how thick it looked and actually is, so that made it a tad bit uncomfortable to apply especially over the already sensitive broken out areas. I have to say that my face did burn a little while the mask was on but as soon as I removed it my face felt cleaner, softer and looked calmer thanks to the calamine, and chamomile!

The main reason I will not be buying this mask again is that it has fragrance, now this might be what makes my face burn or something else is definitely causing this. But I really don't understand the need for fragrance especially when the mask is supposed to be for acne prone skin AKA as sensitive skin.

 I did finish the whole pot to give it a fair try and see how my skin would react. I did not notice any difference in my breakouts, I am not going to blame this mask directly as I am currently in esthetics school but if anything I broke out even more. But remember that all skins are different and what doesn't work for me might do wonders for you! Good Luck Xxx
