Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask Review



“Our skin can often become congested with many cleansing masks over drying the face. This mineral-rich oceanic clay mask contains a negative electrical charge which acts like a magnet, helping to draw deep-rooted impurities out of the skin without drying. Its hydrating and oil absorbing properties leave skin soft, smooth and wonderfully cleansed.”

Ingredients:

Sea silt (Natural oceanic clay), Aqua (Water), Potassium sorbate, Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, Salix nigra (Willow) bark extract




Here is another product I got in my J'Adore Vox Box from Influenster.  It's the Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask When I used this mask I noticed that it was slightly smelly.  It had a very nice tingle to it.  I like that about a mask…I feel like the product is really doing it’s job.  And when the tingle goes away you know it's dry and ready to wash off.  It did leave my skin feeling smooth but I felt like I needed a moisturizer after rinsing off.  The next day skin was slightly oily.  I used the mask again the next week but only as a spot treatment.  For this I feel that the product works very well.  I will continue to use this product along with my other facial washes and scrubs.  Let me know your thoughts and experience with this mask.

Red Rose Simply Indulgent Tea Review


Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas and single serve cups are new, handcrafted black teas blended with specially developed natural flavor extracts. These blends marry high-quality tea standards with premium natural flavors.”

I received some tea samples in my J’Adore Vox Box.  I was very happy to see tea in my box and was even more delighted that the flavor was Crème Caramel. 
“Leaves from the world's finest tea estates are masterfully blended with the luscious and natural flavor of sweet caramel. In one sip, your taste buds will experience the layers of rich flavor and an aroma that will comfort through the very last drop.”  

This statement could not be truer!  The caramel taste is not over powering or too sweet.  It’s just the right amount of deliciousness.  If you are one who likes milk in your tea as well as caramel…then you have to try this one out.  The Crème Caramel can be bought from the Red Rose website for $4.99 for a box of 20 individually wrapped tea bags.  Check them out if you’re a tea lover…they have all kinds of teas from black teas to loose teas and even organic teas.
