I love £1 bargains!

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a little partial to a 99p store. Yes, I have expensive taste when it comes to just about everything but nothing can tempt me away from the allure of Dora the Explorer money tins and discounted shampoo.

When browsing my local Poundland recently like the classy girl I am, I came across this little bag of goodies coming in at, surprisingly, £1. The bag promised me it was worth £8.99 and I didn't really look to see what was in it, all I knew was that it contained little packets of body mask.

But when I got home, I was actually rather chuffed at my find. The contents of the bag are pictured below and I recommend everyone get down to their local Poundstore to pick up one of these bags.

Top row: Wellness Spa face mask, Montagne Jeunesse algae & dead sea salt mud treatment, Montagne Jeunesse mud spatula.

Bottom row: Model Secrets exfoliating rejuvenate mud facial mask, Chantelle blueberry refreshing foot talc, Fab Face Food peach and elderflower facial mask, Boots mandarin & vitamin C revitalising peel-off mask.

Not bad for a quid, eh?

♥ Review: Yes To Tomatoes Total Treatment Mask ♥

This is my first review on Hello-Barbie so I'm hoping y'all like it. I thought I'd write about a product today that I was sent in relation to my work over at English-Wedding where I'm Bridal Fashion and Beauty Expert (I'm on a break at the moment due to crazy busy times o'clock). As I haven't got round to mentioning this on English-Wedding yet, I thought I'd do a review on here.

♥ What I think ♥

This is probably the best face mask I have ever used! I have quite oily skin and a lot of masks tend to irritate me or do no good but I was delighted to see that this was suited to my troublesome skin type. The pot is really lightweight so it means I can easily pop it into my handbag if I'm going over to spend the night at the boyfriend's place. The product smooths on easily and dries rather quickly. As it only has to be left on for 5 minutes, this is a fab product to slap on first thing on a morning before you hop in the shower. Once you remove it, you're left with beautifully matt and cleansed skin that doesn't feel tight but fresh and awake. If you have any problems with pores or oily skin, this is a total must!

♥ My rating ♥ = 5/5. I'd buy this a million times over!
