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 Cooks: Booboos

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is one I invented as a child: Booboos. Curly Cooks: Booboos Jump to recipe When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching my mum bake all manner of sweet treats for my brother and me. At maybe three years old, I decided to invent a recipe of my own, which ended up being named Booboos. Now as a three year old I obviously didn't understand the necessities and intricacies of baking, so I just wrote a bunch of random baking words that I knew and my mum interpreted it to create these biscuits. This is my original recipe card:  Shocking penmanship and spelling I know, and a flawless method. If you can't read my handwriting (unsurprising tbh), it says Resapy for Boo...

Page to Screen: The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Page to Screen The Page to Screen series explores the cinematic adaptations of books and my criticisms of them, comparing the two works and reviewing them separately and as a whole. The Miseducation of Cameron Post 2012, Written by Emily Danforth 2018, Directed by Desiree Akhavan The book Source I recently finished reading this wonderful book and deliberately waited until I had finished it to watch the film, knowing the difference that there would be, and of course not wanting to spoil the end of the book for myself.
