Curly Hair, What to Wear: Primark's face mask

This segment is going to be committed to fashion, makeup and, of course, the endless joys of naturally curly hair. I'll post looks, tips, and anything else that comes into my head on this subject.
Primark's Blueberry Bubble Mask

Using Primark's Bubble Face Mask

Today I decided to try this face mask that I've had in the cupboard since about Christmas. I had a nice long shower, relaxed and then spread it across my face.
The first thing I noticed was the smell. It smelled amazing, so fruity and refreshing. As soon as I opened the packet and got it on my face it started bubbling up. I spread it all over, got it in my hair but I didn't mind, that always happens!
When I first put on the mask
It started bubbling up pretty fast. I had some areas that were less covered so I tried topping them up but it just spread around the bubbles that were already there and kind of ruined the area (see under my left eye). Despite this, it felt good and I could see, and hear, the bubbles growing on my face.
After about ten minutes, I looked more like this:
A lot more bubbly, and struggling to breathe with how much it had grown up my nose! Looking like a bit of a madman but I could feel it working.
After the recommended 15 minutes, I went to wash it off, which is where I started having problems: it was very sticky.
Time to wash off (see also: B99 tee and very messy bathroom lol)
It had gone on my hair, which ended up feeling sticky, and I scraped the bubbles off to have a very sticky face underneath. I had to scrub it for a while in order to make it smooth, but when I managed it, my skin did feel very soft.

 I would recommend this if you want a fun, cheap face mask experience. It's not as good as some of the other face masks I have tried from Primark, like the peel off ones, or the sheet ones- I'd recommend the K-Pop sheet cloud mask over this one if you want a bubble mask. I was, of course going to avoid a peel-off, not wanting to lose any more of my eyebrows, but those do always feel good. From Primark, I'd recommend this charcoal one which I've used a couple of times and is always fun.

 Overall, it was a good facemask for 80p. My skin does feel lovely and soft now, even though it took a bit of washing off the stickiness to get there. For the cheap price it is, it's the quality I've come to expect from Primark- not amazing but does the job for the price I paid.

Curly Hair, What's in There? Queer Eye

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

Curly Hair, Been There: Lille

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. Living in Paris is interesting enough, but feeling spontaneous I decided to travel to a different city. So, I went to Lille for a day. Curly Hair, Been There: Lille I took a Thalys train from Paris Nord to Lille Flandres, which took just over an hour and cost me only £18. I got up suuuper early and I arrived in Lille just before 10am.  I left the station (massive and cool btw) to be greeted by this lovely sight: It turns out there was some Hispanic celebration going on (dorado something or other) and so there was lots of cool decor everywhere. Not only were there those statues, there were also these ribbons: and these ofrendas:  I walked over to the shopping mall, Euralille, (huge) because of course I needed a coffee, so I sat down in Starbucks and planned my day. I decided that from the mall I'd go and find the main sq...
