Thumbs Review: Starskin Nourishing and Cooling Double Layer Foot Mask Socks

June 18, 2017August 13, 2017by thumbelinaslifestyleLeave a Comment

Hi everybody dear readers and loyal subbies,

For today I am back with a new review, and guess what is for one of my favorite beauty brands. Yes you guessed right, it is StarSkin! I love this brand for their face masks and I thought lets try something new. So in a last shopping spree I opted for the Starskin Nourishing and Cooling Double Layer Foot Mask Socks as my feet were and are in dire need of repair.

Starskin claims the following about these Foot Mask Socks

” Unique, patented foot mask intensely nourishes, soothes and revitalizes feet”
”Relieves swelling and cools down tired feet in just 20 minutes”
” Innovative Double-Layer Technology simulates the results of a professional foot spa”

Thumbs up for

Nourishing my feet, it got rid of a lot dryness I had on the sole of my feet.

Soothed my feet and took away some soreness that I had .

Thumbs down for

Did not experience the cooling effect the mask claimed. Would believe that chilling the mask in the fridge would help.

Overall thoughts:

This mask helps to reduce a lot of dryness and reduced the overall look of cracks on my feet. Also my feet felt soft and nourished after use.

Have you ever tried this foot mask? And if so what were your thoughts about it. Any tips for softer feet? Please leave a comment.

Until next post friends.

Skincare Beauty Haul

December 18, 2016August 20, 2017by thumbelinaslifestyle2 Comments

Hi everybody, dear readers and loyal subbies,

After mostly writing about opening my calendars, I thought it would be fun to write about a recent haul of late.

Last Tuesday the Douglas had a special evening where they offered their card holders an extra 25% discount. My sister and myself thought we would self-sacrifice our bank accounts and check it out.

I purchased two things and got a free gift of purchase. Curious about what I bought please continue reading:

The GlamGlow Gift Sexy YouthMud Set which includes:

1 X YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment Mask

1 X GlamGlow Supermud clearing treatment 30 g /1 oz

1 X GlamGlow Thirsty Mud Hydrating treatment 30 g/ 1 oz

I am really curious about GlamGlow as I have heard a lot of good things about this brand. Cannot wait to try this.I smelled the mask and it seems to smell very fresh. The good thing about GlamGlow is that you can use it multiple times so it seems a bit more budget friendly.

Of course I could not resist buying my fave sheet mask from StarSkin the Hydrating Bio Cellulose Second Skin Face Mask. With this colder weather my skin can use some extra juice and this is perfect for it.

My free gift of purchase was the Douglas Home Spa Polynesian Dream Balancing Shower Foam which has Kukui Oil & Noni Fruit in it. Very exited to use this as I love foam shower gels. I wonder if this will win over the Rituals foam gells.

That was it for this haul!

Thumbs review: Starskin Plumping & Hydrating Bio- Cellulose Second Skin Lip Mask

August 20, 2016August 20, 2016by thumbelinaslifestyleLeave a Comment

Hi everybody, dear readers and loyal subbies,

Pfiew have you survived reading that title huh? I know it is a long one but today it is review time. And yep I got tempted by the Starskin Plumping & Hydrating Bio- Cellulose Second Skin Lip Mask. Another Starskin product again! I love the products from Starskin and my sister generously bought me this lip mask. The mask costs 9.95 euro’s.

The mask claims after 15 minutes , to leave your lips hydrated , visibly plumped and lessens fine lines on the lips

Instructions are very simple Remove any form of makeup and apply on clear clean skin. Afterward distribute the gel in the sachet evenly. Then the big moment is there and you open the sachet and remove the outer layers from the mask and you place the mask on your lips. Leave on your lips for 15 min and remove afterwards. They say to use this as a primer before a lipstick or a lip gloss.

When I applied the mask it did feel tingly in the beginning, but that sensation left quite quick. Starskin did mention on the packaging this could happen.

Thumbs up for:

Amount of product 2 sachets containing one usage each

Clear instructions on packaging and extra booklet of

Smell very clean smelling

Cute packaging the pink and those lips on there

Plumps up lips and lips look more full and juicy less lines visible

Soft lips

Thumb down for:

Application. Does not go on easily as it is very slippery and is not easy to place smoothly on lips

Holy sweet …..multiple curse words later! This product works! I really see the difference before application of the product and after. Check out the before and after photo’s below! Left before, right after. You can see more lines on the left than the right. Plus my lips looks more plump on the right and feel absolutely hydrated.

Before use

After use

I would say that this mask would be extra fun to use when going to a party. Say hello to juicy lips!! So delightful! I would def ,def, definitely recommend !

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. And of course feel free to like or subscribe

Until the next post friends!

May 11, 2016May 11, 2016by thumbelinaslifestyleLeave a Comment

Hello everybody, dear readers and loyal subbies,

And we are back again! Today with a review on one of my favorite brands Starskin, I was in Douglas browsing the store and I was yeeh they sell Starskin. And lo and behold a new product which I did not see before. They were eye masks! Not that they were new from the brand but they were new to me.

SONY DSC

The mask claims to

Immediate brighten the skin around you eyes
Reduces fine lines and dark shadows around your eyes.

Claims to give the skin around you reduce fine lines and dark shadows

Photo’s left to right Without mask and with the Starskin Second Skin Eye Mask . Unfortunately I deleted the original after mask image. Grrr. How stupid am I and yes I need to do my brows.

Overall thoughts on these eye masks

Thumbs up for the following:

You get 2 sets of eye masks
Nice relaxing moment for yourself ( feels calming on the skin)
Under eye area feels lovely and smooth and plump

Thumbs down for the following:

Personally I did not immediately see any lessening of lines. Maybe after multiple uses? I have one more left so will give it another go.

I hope I don’t bore you all with these Starksin posts. Overall I love this brand. If your curious about the other posts I wrote about Starskin click here and here. Please leave me a comment or follow me via Thumbelinaslifestyle.com or hit that lovely BlogLovin button. Until next post friends!

Starskin Calming Bio Celulose Second Skin Facial Mask

February 17, 2016February 6, 2016by thumbelinaslifestyleLeave a Comment

Hi everybody, dear readers and loyal subbies,

Today I was in the mood to have a nice relaxing day . So I wanted to use a facial mask. As I still had the Starskin Calming Bio Celulose Seccond skin Facial mask in my cupboard, I opted for this one. You might remember I did review a couple of weeks ago about this brand. Interested? Click here to read it

SONY DSC

To be honest I did not like this mask as much as the last one. However this masks works very calming and soothing . For an extra chill effect, Starskin suggests to refrigerate this mask for 10 minutes .

Do you have any recommendations on nice facial masks. Thank you all for reading this post. Until next time guys.

XoXo,

Kim
