A few weeks back my beloved MUA bestie won a night for the pair of us in Powerscourt in Wicklow and tickets to the holy grail of girlie days, Pippa O'Connor Fashion Factory. It was, start to finish, amazing! On the day Cloud10 Beauty were there and I picked up a little pot of Glam Glow 'Thirsty Mud'. Now I wouldn't have taught I have particularly dry skin, my skin tends to be the typical T zone Oily, but I did feel like I had been neglecting my mush lately and it needed a nice hydrating treat.
I had heard of Glam Glow and their products but this was my first time trying it and I am hooked. I can not wait to get my hands on the rest of the products.
First off, the mud smells amazing, there is an instant coconutty (new word) smell, I initially underestimated the amount needed and ended up with far too much product on my face but I worked it down onto my neck and chest for a super hydrated top half. I really over did it first time out! After the recommended 20 minutes, which actually was more like 45 because it was such a fab cooling and soothing sensation and an amazing feeling product I didn't want to take it off. I eventually washed it off with a warm cloth. My skin looked hydrated and therefore less fine lines, there was definitely a dewy look to my skin and I felt like the dark circles under my eyes were faded and my skin felt like it was fresh and clean. I started to use the Thirsty Mud every two days and leaving it on my face, rather than washing it off after 30 minutes as I had been doing. Now as I mentioned I tend towards oily skin and as such I have several Milia (those white lumps that wont squeeze or go away) on the sides of my face and Blackheads on my nose. Nothing I had tried in the past had made a difference to these areas but, in a happy happy bonus, the Thirsty Mud seemed to be removing the Milia, several have fallen out with out any coaxing (squeezing to death) from me and I have noticed a huge improvement in the blackheads I have on my T zone. Now the Blackheads aren't gone, I don't think there is a product I haven't tried to remove them, but, there is a big difference, they are smaller, faded and my pores around my nose and to the sides of my cheeks, which are usually large, are all but faded away.
I have started using the Glam Glow Thirsty Mud mixed in with my foundation. It leaves an amazing finish on my skin, my makeup last and last and it doesn't dry out by the end of the day.
The products initially seem pricey but I have had my tub for weeks now and I use it several times a week and I would say I will get around 3/4 months out of a pot. The Glam Glow from Cloud10beauty is €56 but given the longevity of the product it works out at around €5 a week. http://www.cloud10beauty.com/glamglow-thirstymud-50ml.html
As I said I am hooked on the thirsty mud and I will be investing in more of the range, anyone buying me a birthday or Christmas pressie, you know where to go.
Till next time x
