This week we tested the D.I.Y Yogurt,
Oatmeal and Honey Face Mask and the ombre nail. We were both in need of a spa
night after midterms – we were really looking forward to a night of relaxing
and pampering.
What you will need for the face mask is:
1. 1 cup of plain yogurt
2. ½ cup of uncooked oatmeal
3. 1 teaspoon of honey
Mix all these ingredients together and you’ve got a facemask! You want to start off by cleansing your face and neck. Apply the mask to your face with clean hands. The Pin suggests using a foundation brush but we would say just use your hands. The facemask is chunky and a little sticky and you don’t want to get it stuck in your foundation brush. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes and wash off with warm water.
We picked this facemask to test because in the description
it said it was perfect for all skin types. Oatmeal is highly absorptive,
hypoallergenic, and helps soften skin. Natural yogurt contains lactic acid and
beneficial enzymes that help your skin stay hydrated and radiant. It softens
the skin, brightens a dull complexion and helps to remove redness in the face.
It cleanses the skin and treats blemishes giving you a clear & smooth
complexion.
As we were applying the facemask we were both apprehensive
about whether it was going to do anything. It was cold, slimy, and chunky. But
after 10 minutes it did harden! We washed off our facemask and our skin was
nice and smooth – this pin was definitely a success!
The second pin that we tested was the
ombre nail. Ombre is such a famous trend right now so we were really excited to
try this on our nails! For those of you who don’t know, this is basically a
gradient or gradual blending from one color to another color on the nail.
What you will need is:
1. A piece of sponge
2. Two contrasting nail polish colors
3. Toothpicks
4. Nail polish remover
5. Q-tips
We started out by applying a regular base color coat on our nails.
After letting that dry completely we started the ombre process. The following picture is the pin that we were following:
We were not impressed with our results. If
you wanted to spend 2 hours doing this, you could probably get it perfect. But
in the end, this pin is not as easy as they make it. The ombre part ended up being bumpy and bubbly after drying. We wouldn’t call this pin a fail
but definitely a falsely portrayed pin.
Have tried out this pin, what were your
results? Did you do anything differently? We want to know! Make sure to post a comment below!
Thanks for checking us out and be sure to check back again
next week when we try out the inside out caramel apples and banana ice
cream. It’s gonna be a yummy one!
