All you need is (ingredients)
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of  baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
12 Tablespoons butter

THE FACE SHOP Herb day 365 Cleansing foam - Peach Review

THE FACE SHOP - Herb day 365 Cleansing foam PEACH 
                                              Review




Quite recently 'The Face shop' opened a branch quite close to where i lived, so today i decided to do my very first skin care review on 'THE FACE SHOP - Herb day 365 Cleansing foam' In PEACH!

SO as you know the THE FACE SHOP has a line of  'Herb day 365 cleansing forms'  from what i know there are 6 types of cleansers which are in...
  1) Aloe
  2) Acerola
  3) Mung Beans
  4) Peach
  5) Lemon
  6) Spearmint

I bought the type which was in Peach.



Price: approximately  $5 (US).
Size:  170ml/ 5.74 fl. oz.
Skin type:  For all skin types.
Suggested for: Dead skin cells
Description: A mild, natural cleanser, which brings more dampness with nine herbs and organic acid.
Application: Get adequate amount for foam. Gently place it all over the face and rinse it off with clean water.
Qualities: - PEACH: This cleansing foam penetrates deep into the skin accessing all your pores to remove impurities and buildup that can lead to clogged pores and blackheads. Derived from sweet peaches and several other skin nourishing herbal extracts, this cleansing foam is great for everyday use and will leave your skin feeling soft and youthful.



MY REVIEW

I have been using this cleanser for more than 2 weeks and i actually really like it, it may not do great justice but you have to take it into account that cleansers are one of the many steps you have to take if you want to get clear skin ( in this case to get rid of acne etc)... i have been using this product almost daily as a morning and night cleanser and i especially like it because it does not make my skin to break out ( i have very sensitive skin), And the herbs in this cleanser also makes your skin feel really soft and nourished which gives really good results. :)

Pro's
  •  It has a very light, mild scent so it won't bother any one who is sensitive to smell.
  • It cleans your face fairly well.
  • It leaves you skin feeling really soft. ( which i really like a lot)
  • Does not make your skin brake out.
  • You can use this for a long time since you only need very little each time you use it.
  •  The size and price is a huge Bargain. 
 Recommend-  In my point of view i greatly do recommend this product for those who are just starting to get clogged pores/ Black head/ acne etc  this product will definitely benefit them in the future.
                       -  And for others who already have these problems it will definitely help to control future breakouts and to keep your face clean..

Would i repurchase this product again- Definitely! It is a very good product, for a really good price.
Rate- I would rate it a 9/10 ( i took 1 off since it won't clear your skin completely if you are seriously prone to acne) but all in all, i really like this product and recommend it for everyone :)

SO anyway that's all for now, i hope the review was helpful and if anyone has any questions please do ask :)
  so yeah until next time ... bye

HELLO WORLD!!!




Well hello everybody! 

so.. .. where should i begin.... hmmmm.. well i will start off with why i decided to start my very own blog.....i like many of you'll have always found a lot of inspiration from youtuber's... in my case beauty gurus (on YouTube) and i have always been inspired on how they grew day by day, just expressing themselves and being true to themselves and to others around them & being comfortable in their own skin and sharing and inspiring others the same way.........
And with that said i believe that God has given all of us many unique talents that we should learn to embrace and be thank full for, if not, who would we be today? even if we have a hard time we learn from our mistakes in order to face the future, nobody's perfect, we all have flaws (myself included!) even you, but that's how we were born, that's how God created us... we live in a world full of choices and God has given us the freedom to choose our own path, guiding us and supporting us along our journey, even if we stray away from whats right he will guide us back on to the right path...
we all have been given the power to make a difference in this world, even the smallest difference may change one persons whole point of view and it would mean the world to them and i believe that even small things can make a huge difference in this world, and like so my dream is to make a difference, to help people in time of need, to inspire others like those who have inspired me to be who i am today and to share my interest in beauty and fashion & one day i hope to open my own YOUTUBE channel (tehee.. can't wait) but for now i hope you continue to stick with me on this journey at SEASONSBLOSSOM!!!
Soooooo... UNTIL NEXT TIME BYE!!! :) :)
