TeenTalkTuesday; DIY; Honey Face Mask ♥

Today I bring you a really simple, quick and easy DIY! I have heard a lot about the benefits of honey, and I thought that I would try out a honey face mask! All you need for this DIY is HONEY! You can also do this face mask and add different ingredients to it; such as... yoghurt, banana, apple, milk and cinnamon!

 Honey Face Mask



You can use whatever type of honey you like, whether it's raw,pure, natural! Whatever! Let me tell you some of the amazing wonders that honey can do!

Honey Face masks are hugely popular because of several skin benefits that honey offers. Honey as a basic ingredient in a facial mask helps to cure acne, scars, wounds, wrinkles and even dry skin.
Skin Benefits of Honey
- Honey has antibacterial properties, which helps in fighting acne and pimples. Honey reduces infection and is very effective home remedy to treat acne.
- Honey is also antiseptic. When honey is diluted with water, it produces hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is an antimicrobial agent and is used as a mild antiseptic. Honey is useful in treating cuts, wounds, and abrasions.
-Honey is a good cleanser for skin. It soak ups impurities from the pores of the skin, leaving your skin clear and clean.
-Honey is a very effective moisturizer for skin. It retains moisture making your skin radiant, soft and supple.
-Honey properties protect your skin under the sun and assist the skin to rejuvenate and stay young.
-Honey is a natural remedy to prevent wrinkles. Honey slows down the ageing process.

Now lets get started! First of all you want to tie your hair back, or clip it back so that nothing gets in the way of the honey!

You then want to apply a even layer of the honey to your skin, it is very sticky so be careful and apply it in a safe area that you can clean up any mess!

I leave it on for a good half an hour, so that my skin can soak up all the goodness and then I jump in the shower and wash it off! You can leave it on for a shorter amount of time if you wish, and you can also wash it off over the sink and then pat dry and apply moisturiser! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this! For DIY's coming..!

Strawberries, citrus fruits, red peppers, broccoli

OPI; The Living Daylights Review ♥

Today you guys is a very special day, I have my first - very first OPI nail polish review!! I bought this a few weeks ago and just recently received it in the post. HOLY COW. It is the prettiest bottle and glitter nail polish I have ever seen. When I opened the package I had one of them HALLELUJAH moments..with my jaw dropped and my eyes popping out. This polish is in the shade 'The Living Daylights' it is part of the Skyfall James Bond Collection that OPI released.  


The colour is actually a mixture of large glitter particles in the colours - bronze, silver, gold and then a lovely 'sky' blue. The polish looks great built up with a few layers to really get that glitter effect or just a simple one coat as you do with normal glitter polishes.

My only pet hate about this polish is that the glitter gathers on the nail, so when you apply it to your nail bed it all falls together instead of spreading out evenly. However, that makes me love it more as it gives a really nice effective!
