Review: Que Bella Deep Cleansing Aloe Vera Cream Mask

 
Whilst I was roming around Target picking up a few of my esentials I wandered down the body aisle, the aisle with all the body butters, shower gels, eye masks, face masks, and hand and foot creams you could want. Exactly what I needed too! I hardly ever get zits, and there was one forming on my chin as I stood there and contemplated which one to get. In the end I picked 3, but in this post I'm only reviewing one, the Que Bella Deep Cleansing Aloe Vera Cream Mask.



The back of the packet that this mask comes in says: "Our mask is specifically formulated to target problem areas of oily, normal and T-Zone skin. It gets to work on application helping to cleanse acne-prone skin keeping it in check and helping to moisturize, nourish and rejuvenate." Those are some big claims, and I do have oily skin, and T-Zone problems so I decided it was worth a shot. It was only 2 bucks, so I said why not.

On the night that I applied and tested out this product a friend did it with, as facials are always more fun when more then one person is involved. We both applied the mask, which is a globby, jelly kind of texture to our faces and waited the 15 minutes as instructed.

Upon application the mask was cold on your skin, but not unbearable. After about one minute of having it on, we both agreed that our skin started to tingle and feel a bit itchy, but in a good way. After about 5 or so minutes the mask hardened, and the skin began to feel tight. At this point you began to feel it opening your pores and really doing some good.

When removing it slid off easily. On my nose I noticed that it had hardened to the point where it flaked off and took some extra rubbing to remove as it had hardened to my nose.

Once removed both of us noticed the immediate softness that came to our face. My skin was so soft, and even though my zit was still waging war on my chin, the rest of my face felt pretty damn good. We also noticed that our skin felt lighter and looked lighter, and it had a nice, clean, glow to it. It left your face refreshed and cool to the touch, which might not be good for some people, but it was good for me. :) Here are some during and after pictures of my skin. I forgot to take before pictures, but I promise next time I will.


 
You can see that alot of the redness in my face disappeared and my skin feels so much better! I realy love this mask. I wouldn't nessicarily say it's made for removing blemishes or for removing the starts of them, but my face does feel a hell of alot better, so I would say it's worth 2 bucks. If you have tried this, let me know what you think in the comments below. Until next time...

Posting Schedule

Hello Dah-lings!
 
It is currently very late at night, but I want to get this written in time to go up tommorow. As it is summer and I have nothing better to do with my time (literally I live in the middle of fucking no where) I have decided to challenge myself and make a commitment that I actually stick to, so get ready!
 
During these summer months, which range from now until the the first week of September (yes I'm aware I go back to school super late) I will be posting at least every other day. So for example, this is going up on Thursday, so a new post will go up on Saturday.
 
Now on those same lines, if I have a super quick post that I really want to talk to you guys about, I'll post that on an off day, or on the same day as a regular post, but there will always (hopefully) be a post on every other day.
 
So, yay! Structure! *sighs because she knows she will fail miserably*
 
And don't you worry, because there will be another post today, as this isn't a real post, it is a bit of an update more than anything so another post is coming shortly. (Also, if I seem hyper in this post, sorry I'm listening to the Black Keys, my favorite band of all time ever, and it is really late, so yeah, I'm a bit crazy.) So until next time...
 
Ta-ta Dahling!

June Ipsy Bag

I recently joined Ipsy out of the pure jealousy of watching other people unbox their bags on youtube. I was previously subscribed to Birchbox, but I want more make-up. Birchbox is good if you're looking for a lifestyle box, but I was seeing more make-up in Ispy so I canceled my birchbox subscription and joined Ipsy! I was very pleased with this month's bag, and I have tried (almost) everything out, so I'll grant you with a mini review on each product. I'll also add the total value at the end of this post. If I like this, I might just make this a monthly thing that I do, and as always let me know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. Now, onto the box!...erm, bag, whatever.
 



Let us start off with the most disappointing product, and the one that I can't see myself ever using at any point in time, and that is the J Cat Sparkling Cream Palette. Now you're probably thinking, oh!, eye glitter, a little 12 year old girl-ish, but could still be useful at one point in time. WRONG! It's not eye glitter it's body glitter and it can be very harmful to your eyes. Not that the packaging suggests any of this, I had to look it up online. There is no indication of what it should be used for, or any warning that it can be potentially harmful to your eyes. That is one reason why I don't like this product. The second reson is it isn't a good glitter. It is chunky and gritty in all the wrong ways and it looks obbrasive and high-school-cheerleader when you put it on. It looks to young for me, and I am quite young so I can't imagine what the older women who recieved this are thinking. I am just not a fan and plan to give this away or throw it away as soon as possible.
 
 
 
Next up is another product from J Cat: false eyelashes in EL42. They're very dramatic and the only product that I haven't tried yet, so let me know if you want a review. I don't wear false lashes on a day to day basis, so I'm waiting for a special occassion to wear them on. I'm hoping that they'll raise my respect for the brand a little bit, and I think they would look very nice as demis.
 

Next up is a product from a brand i actually knew about before this bag and it is a NYX Mosaic Blush in Dare. It has 5 different colors in it that ranges from purple to pink to bronze. The way it's laid out is convient, the bronzey shades together and the purple/pink shades together. It's very easy to get all off the colors or only a few. It is VERY pigmented and a little goes a long way so 1 swirl of the entire product with cover both of your cheeks fine. The only drawback I have is that it smells like old school cosmetics, the wierd powdery smell that reminds me of my grandmother and not in good way. Since it's not really noticable when you have it on I can live with it and other than that, it's the only bad thing I have to say about it.
 

Next up is my second favorite item from the whole bag, the Starlooks Lip Pencil in Tickle me Pink. I have been going through this phase lately were I take a dark lipstick and layer a lighter one on top of it to make it more summery. This is exactly what I've been doing with this lipstick! It is so creamy and a really pretty bright pink, perfect for layering underneath and also perfect for wearing on it's own. It sets in a demi-matte finish and doesn't settle into fine lines. Just to be safe I would do a liptreatment and the night before I was going to wear this alone. I really like this lip pencil, not only the shade, but the formula and the brand. I would definately recommend this product.
 
 

Last, but definately not least is my favorite product out of the whole bag, the Cailyn gel eyeliner in the shade Iron. There are 2 reasons why I love this product. One, it has a built in brush that makes it super easy to travel with, and to even take in your purse if you would want to touch it up throughout the day. Two, it is an awesome shade! Usually I don't like to wear eyeliner that isn't just plain black on my upper lashline. In fact I usually don't go for colored eyeliner at all, but I really like this one! It is easy to apply, easy to control and looks really good with brownish black mascara, so if you're going for a more natural look this is a great eyeliner to use.
 

P.S.-The nail polish I'm wearing is Penny Talk by Essie. :)
 
My overall thoughts on my first Ipsy bag is 4/5. The only thing I can't see myself using is the body glitter, and everything else I in this bag totally makes up for it! I love the eyeliner, and the lip pencil and the blush is good. Overall I'm really happy with my bag and it was definately worth $10, especially since the bag itself was so cute. The value of this bag is $48.98. A great deal for $10 considering all the products are full size. I am really pleased. As always leave me a comment telling me what you though of your Ipsy or Birchbox, or what you thought of mine. Until next time...

What is Messy Buns and Comfy Pants?


 
Hi! My name is Molly Renee, otherwise known as Little Miss Molly, an internet name I fashioned for myself, from a nickname my uncle gave me when I was younger, Little Missy. I have decided to create this blog to share with you, the person reading this, and my future self, not only my likes and dislikes, but also my take on the world. On this blog I will talk about make-up, fashion, and other girly shit alot (also I swear so...) but I will also share with you my opinions and my feelings. As I am a very opinionated person, but also a very good debater, I love to discuss these things thoroughly, so if you have any conflicting opinions, you can leave them in the comments of the post in question, as I'm sure some of my opinions will raise hell.
 
Now, onto you're main question, "If this is a fashion blog, why does your title sound so lazy?" Simple, because that's what I am. I'm lazy and a self described procrastinator. I love to lounge around in sweat pants, and I alost always have my hair in some kind of bun, as it's too wavy to look good in a ponytail, and half-up, half-down up-dos make me look like a human/shih tzu mix. My favorite is the topknot.
 
Next you're asking why comfy pants? Another thing my uncle proclaimed when he came to Thanksgiving in sweat pants. "This is to fat a day for jeans!" he said as he ate more turkey than my mother and I combined, and since that day I call my comfy bottoms, comfy pants.
 
So here we go a blog where I can share my thoughts and opinions on pretty much anything, and I hope you enjoy the ride just as much as I do. Let me know what you want to see (reviews, favorites, hauls, fotd, ootd, etc.) and I'll be happy to fulfill your wishes (within reason of course :P). I shall be back in the next few days with my first real post, so until then...
