I spotted this brand called 'Golden Silk Natural Cosmetics' which has no parabens and was reasonably priced. I bought the Green Clay and Cucumber Cleansing Milk (€3.99) and the Green Clay and Cucumber Mask (€5.98).
I also noticed the new Baby Lips Electro and I didn't think they are available yet in the UK (Now I know they are!!!) so I picked up one in the colour Berry Bomb (€2.99) as well! (Click here to buy!)
So first up is the cleansing milk! It claims to be a purificante and a hydratante which appealed to me because it seemed to be the best of both worlds for spot prone skin and dehydrated skin! It also says that it is suitable for both sensitive and damaged skin so I thought that it would be gentle as well as healing. I also thought that it would be good if I got sun burned on my face (although thankfully I didn't!) The cucumber makes it smell very fresh and clean which I like. It is a creamy milky consistency which I applied in circular motions all over the face. I also didn't have any problems rubbing it over my eyes. I really enjoy using it as it makes my skin feel really clean and it helped to prevent my skin from drying out in the hot weather! My skin looked really clear on holiday and I used this alternately with my Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil (Click here to buy!) It was good at getting rid of the residue from my sun cream and the Max Factor CC cream that I took with me on holiday, however since being back I have tried using it to remove foundation and it is not very effective. I also found it cooling and calming on my face so great for a summer holiday!
Next up is the mask! I absolutely love trying new masks so I couldn't resist this one! It claims to leave the skin soft and hydrated and to even help treat acne and rosacea! It is a very thin consistency so not the easiest to apply evenly. The directions say to leave it on until it dries out. On my first attempt, I think I applied it too thickly because I left it on for ages and it showed no signs of drying out!

The second time, I applied a much thinner layer and it dried slightly but not completely. I didn't feel any tingling like I do with a lot of my other masks but it did feel really refreshing on the skin and extremely gentle. I really like that it has no parabens and lovely natural ingredients that are beneficial to the skin like green clay.

I have tried the original Baby Lips and really liked them. I think that the formula for this Electro version is slightly different; it is a little more watery which makes it feel really smooth on the lips. I think that it is also a little bit more sheer than the original, which it needs to be with the selection of bright neon shades! It smells really fruity and the colour is a lovely light purple tint.
Thank you so much for reading!
