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?: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

One of my favourite series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is ending next week. So sad, I know. And the last episode was very dramatic. So, I'm going to explore the events and how I think the series is going to end. If you haven't seen it, the show is the story of Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), a successful New York lawyer who decides to uproot her life to move to West Covina, California to follow a boy she dated at camp, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III). She gets a job at a law firm, makes friends and stalks Josh until she finds out he is actually engaged to Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz), a girl he went to school with. Rebecca ends up going out with Josh's friend Greg (Santino Fontana/Skylar Astin- will explain later), who ends things with her to move and go to business school. Then, the law firm gets bought out and Rebecca gets a new boss, Nathaniel (Scott Michael Foster), who isn't the nicest guy. They have a thing but later split up as well. Eventually Rebecca decides that s...

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...
