One of the perks of being a beauty blogger is that I get the chance to try several beauty products in different price ranges. I do my best to test each product for as long as my skin allows me to (because not everything works for my sensitive skin), and even tho I have tried plenty of more expensive brands, my favourite one will always remain this one by L'Oreal. It's still on my bucket list to collaborate with them one day, but for now, and thanks to their affordable prices, I had the chance to try this one out during my first year of uni and to this day it is still one of my favourite products.

Let's spill the tea on this game-changing skincare product that's been giving my skin life for the last few years. If you're on the hunt for a budget-friendly miracle worker, look no further, the L'Oréal Pure Clay Mask in Red is it. Trust me, this gem is about to become your new BFF in the world of skincare.

They have 5 different clay masks as part of this collection and each of them is good for something different. The Red one, which is the one we will be talking about today is an exfoliating mask, and if you're like me and you struggle with sensitive skin, no worries, this one is incredibly gentle with the skin. It cleanses your pores and leaves your skin feeling flawless after the very first use. And after two weeks more less I started seeing results, which let's be honest, that's pretty fast.

Let's talk prices. We all know that some skincare products out there can break the bank faster than you can say "glow-up." But fear not, because as I already mentioned before the L'Oréal Pure Clay Mask is like a breath of fresh air for your wallet. It's affordable without compromising on quality, making it a dream come true for those of us who want fabulous skin without emptying our piggy banks. You can find this one on Amazon for 13€, but if you live in Spain or another country where there's a Druni or a Primor you can find these for 10€. Taking in count they will last you a whole month (if not even more, depending on how often you use it), the price is simply amazing. 

Now, let's talk texture. Have you ever dipped your fingers into a jar of heaven? Well, that's pretty much what it feels like to scoop out a dollop of this red clay goodness. The texture is a perfect balance between creamy and velvety, making the application process an absolute joy. Smooth it onto your skin, and you'll immediately feel a sense of luxury that rivals even the fanciest spa treatments. But if applying it already feels amazing, imagine just how much greater the results are.

that's where the real magic lays - in the results. I know, I know, we've all been promised radiant skin by countless products before. But this time, it's different. After just two weeks using this one twice a week, I couldn't believe my eyes. My pores appeared visibly smaller, my complexion was more even, and that annoying redness I'd been battling was significantly reduced. It was like I had my own personal skincare fairy godmother granting my skin wishes left and right.

Now, as I already mentioned before, I've ventured into the world of high-end skincare and tried my fair share of expensive masks. And while some of them definitely had their merits, none of them quite captured my heart like the L'Oréal Pure Clay Mask in Red. The amazing quality-price ratio is what sets this mask apart from the rest. It's like finding a hidden treasure in a sea of overpriced potions.

So, there you have it, a little beauty tip from your internet big sister. My journey to skin nirvana led me straight to the L'Oréal Pure Clay Mask in Red, and I couldn't be happier. Affordable, luxurious texture, and undeniable results - this mask truly has it all. If you're ready to up your skincare game without breaking the bank, give this red clay wonder a try. Your skin will thank you, and your wallet will too!

What products would you like me to try out next? Let me know in the comments below and don't forget to tag me on instagram when you try this one out! I'd love yo hear your thoughts on it! 

Throughout the years, my night skincare routine has changed and evolved as I had the chance to try new products and I've learnt more about skincare. 

I always start off by using a product that I haven't really heard many people talk about that's not only incredibly cheap but offers amazing results, the dove beauty soap, this one is less than 1 euro per soap bar and it's incredibly gentle with the skin. I always make sure to splash my face with luke warm water and to create a thick foam with the soap before applying it on my face. I then gently rub it on my face for a couple minutes and then remove with abundant water. 

For the second step, I use the Pixi Glow Tonic which cleanses the pores in depth by removing any impurities left on the skin. You can check out their different toners and pick the one that works best for you! And if you're not sure, they also sell smaller versions of each toner, so you can try them all out and stick with your favourite one!

With time I've come to realise that cleansing your face properly is the most important step of any skincare routine. It doesn't matter how many wonderful products you apply on your face afterwards if your pores are clogged with dirt and impurities from the make up you used throughout the day or pollution from the street.

I always use a cotton pad to help remove everything, and you'd be surprised how much dead skin cells this toner still removes right after cleansing.


Once I'm done properly cleansing my skin, I move on to hydration. Once or twice a week (depending on how much time I have on my hands and how tired I am), I use a sheetmask, which depending on the brand, I'll leave on for 15-25 minutes carefully following the instructions on the back.

Lately I've been using the sephora sheet masks, on their website you can find plenty of different ones perfect for everyone's needs. I personally love switching them up! These are also pretty affordable and highly recommended! They're usually around 5€ each, but there's still plenty of even cheaper brands out there that you can try as well! 

Also from pixi, I love their mist collection. I got the chance to try them a while back when they sent me a package and I fell in love. I keep re-buying them and spray them on my face all day long. They're all super refreshing and leave my skin feeling plump and hydrated.

If you haven't tried mists yet, please do. I love to carry one in my bag (specially during the summer) and spray it on my face every now and then to moisturise and refresh my make up.



Next step for me is essence. This one by origins has been at the top of my list for quite some time now. This is the Origins Three Part Harmony tri-phase Essence Lotion, sadly I don't think they sell it anymore. Which is honestly a shame cause I was in love with this product. What I could find was the serum from this wonderful collection, but I cannot give you a proper review on that one yet for I haven't had the chance put it to test yet.

I will have to start trying out new essences for when I run out of this one, so any recommendations are very much welcome! 

For the serum I use the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex by Estée Lauder. Unlike many other serums, what I love about this one, is that it doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. It's very light and refreshing.

Something I love to do with my skin products, such as my serums and moisturiser, is to keep them in a small fridge, so when I put them on I feel like I'm at a spa. The cold sensation is simply wonderful. 


And last, but not least, my moisturiser is also from Estée Lauder, the Resilence Lift . This is the most expensive product on this skincare routine at 145€. It does feel, however, extremely light and hydrating. And as you can see on the youtube video, it leaves my skin looking beautiful. This is another product that I keep re-buying.

If you'd like to see how each of these products look on the skin after application, check out this video on my youtube channel and don't forget to subscribe for new videos every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! 

As a skincare enthusiast I'm always on the lookout for new products. I recently found out about the Origins "Hello, Calm" Face Mask with Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil and I was eager to try it! And let me start by saying this product did not disappoint! 

You can this face mask on their website for $34 and as stated there, it is good for all skin types. Now moving on to the review itself, the first thing that struck me (and this might easily be a deal breaker for a lot of people) was the delightful scent this mask has. It has a very soothing herbal aroma that makes you feel like you're at the spa. 

It has a very creamy texture, making it easy to spread evenly across the skin. Upon application, I immediately felt a cooling sensation that gently embraced my skin. One of the things I've enjoyed doing a lot lately is keeping my skincare products in a fridge- this enhaces that spa-like cooling feeling when applying them on the skin, making you feel way more relaxed. So if you haven't tried this tip yet, I highly recommend it!

The star ingredient here is the Omega-6 & Omega-3 rich Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil from Hemp, which is renowned for its hydrating and nourishing properties, as well as its de-stressing abilities. I have very sensitive skin, meaning not all products do me well... so I was pleased to discover that this mask delivered intense hydration without causing any irritation. After leaving it on for the recommended 10-15 minutes, my skin felt noticeably softer and plumper.

After a long day, this mask turns part of my skincare routine into a spa-like a moment of serenity that helps me de-stress and feel like that girl. So no matter your skin type, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot. I was scared that its rich texture would clog my pores or exacerbate breakouts, but that was not the case! Instead, it helped to regulate my skin's oil production, leaving me with a radiant, non-greasy complexion.

Origins has always been committed to using clean and natural ingredients, and this face mask is no exception. The absence of parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances ensures that your skin receives pure, wholesome goodness. And that's always such a nice plus! On top of that they are cruelty free! 

In conclusion, the Origins "Hello, Calm" Relaxing and Hydrating Face Mask with Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is a fantastic addition to any skincare routine. Its hydrating properties, soothing benefits, and delightful aroma make it a true treat for your skin and senses. I highly recommend incorporating this mask into your self-care routine to experience the ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. Your skin will thank you!
