Lush Fresh Face Masks - Top 5

This is a post I've been wanting to do for a long long time. I'm a huge fan of Lush Cosmetics for a number of reasons; their products are fresh and actually work, the staff are always incredible and it's a company with what I believe to be all the right values.

My skin would generally be relatively normal but prone to becoming dry and occasionally a break out when I've not been looking after it. When this happens I tend to pop into Lush ASAP for one of their lovely face masks. Below is a list of my Top 5 face masks and the reasons why! (For those who are interested I would usually use these anywhere from two to three times a week).


5. Cosmetic Warrior
This I think was one of the first ones I ever tried. A lot of people seem to be put off by it because it's garlic. But don't be! This one is another great one for those panic break outs where you need a quick fix. Similarly to Catastrophe Cosmetic it can be a tad drying on your skin but it does the job nonetheless!

4. BB Seaweed
This one gives a particularly dewy glow which I adore! The only thing I find with this mask is that you can't stretch it even slightly past the 3 week use period as the seaweed does start to smell bad.

3. Catastrophe Cosmetic
When a bad break out happens, which fortunately are rare but come exam times or when I'm a little run down I'm slightly more prone. This literally works absolute wonders, I cannot tell you how fantastic this is! The only downside of this product for me is that it can be a little drying on my skin.

2. Love Lettuce
What I like most about this mask is that it has almond shells in it which means you also get a nice scrub when you're taking it off. This I believe is what makes it work so well and make your skin so soft and gorgeous. There is also lavender in this product which helps one unwind, I love using this in a bath before bed.

1. Cupcake

I'm addicted to all things chocolate and I am not ashamed of that fact! But this is one of my favourite things ever. My goodness. It works absolute wonders, making my skin look and feel incredible.

Post an Anorexic Secret?

So everybody loves tumblr. I'll admit, it's great for art ideas, decoration, style ideas, and just generally things which are nice to look at. But tumblr, like many social networks, also has a dark side. As many of you who use tumblr already know there is some unusual pages, which is good, it's always nice to see variety in blogs and there is something for everyone. Although, there is some pages on tumblr which are perhaps indulgent, and encouraging the wrong things. Some that I have seen include pro-self harm pages, pro ana/mia (ana being anorexia and mia being bulimia). pages, which is frankly disgraceful. Recently I found this page, which has the same concept as post secret, where you share a secret about your eating disorder, self harm problems or anything else. It is aimed the same way post secret is, to try to help by allowing people a space to say something. However, some of the "secrets" say how tumblr is responsible for their eating disorders a

Luis Quiles, Social Media and Sexism

Luis' work popped up on my tumblr newsfeed a while back and I really loved it. I'm always fascinated by things which seem shocking and offensive but Luis' work evidently has a much deeper purpose. Undoubtedly his work is shocking but offers a very interesting critique of society and modern cultural phenomenons.  I've recently being covering some interesting material on biopolitics, a Foucaltian idea. Whereby an individual is governed by a variety of different things such as media, technologies, educations etc. By governed I mean regulated or controlled so to speak. Interestingly I have been focusing on media as a means of regulating.  In relation to Luis Quiles work I think it's interesting to consider how some social medias and online medias regulate gender roles and simultaneously sexism.  This second image I found extremely interesting. Instagram as many of you know, is an app designed to share photos and consequently focuses upon the vis
