DIY | BRIGHTENING FACE MASK

This is a mask i recently discovered and it works wonders for the skin. I want to share with you all the recipe for this awesome mask because it is inexpensive and very effective. The major ingredient is unripe papaya(except for some water)

 The mask is totally inexpensive since you can purchase papaya at any grocery or even get it for free if you own a small garden and you can put it on everyday mostly before bed 

HOW TO MAKE THE MASK

1. Cut the green unripe papaya into two along the center
2. Scoop out all the seeds
3. Peel the green skin of the papaya(you dont need that in your mask)
4. Dice the peeled papaya into moderately sized chunks
5. Put the diced papaya with a little water into a blender
6. Blend and add water as needed to make a fine paste

HOW TO APPLY THE MASK

1. Start off with a fresh cleanly washed face
2. Apply the mask either all over the face to brighten your facial skin 
3. or you apply it directly over dark spots or blackheads on the face to improve their appearance and to gradually fade it out
4. Rinse your face with warm water after leaving it on for about 30 mins
5. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for future use

Please try this mask at home and let me know how it worked for you. you can either send me a mail or leave a comment down below

Have a great week people!!!!!!

PRODUCT REVIEW | ASTA GEL LINERS

Gel liners are my favourite simply because they're long lasting and smudge proof (when used on the lower lash line,and most definitely the upper) and they should be yours too if you love to have your eyes properly lined

Asta gel liners is a product of Nigerian origin(yaaay!!!!). Well,you can only imagine how excited I was when I first heard about them.My experience with gel liners haven't been all that palatable(as they often dry out quickly) so I was more than eager to try a new product,especially after I read all the claims about the product and did i forget to mention that the shades come in such lovely names? we have Emerald(green), Twilight (blue), Onyx (black),Currant (purple) and Nude brown(a light shade of brown)

Pros

Asta Gel Liner in Onyx

• The liners are absolutely waterproof(just as they claim).I wouldn't advise you to use in your waterline if your eyes get irritated easily from tugging at it because its gonna be a big battle getting it out.Notwithstanding,its a good choice if you want a smudge proof line that stays put all day
• They are hypoallergenic.They wont give any irritations
• The liner comes with a short applicator brush(which i havent used yet,and I doubt I will),An angled liner brush will do better justice for me
• They can be used as an eyeshadow base or even worn alone as eyeshadow

Cons

Asta Gel Liner in Nude Brown

• I think the packaging is a bit too bulky for the size of the product.A clear packaging that would allow you have a peek at whats inside without necessarily having to open the pack would have been more appropriate
  
  
  
  Overall: I think the Asta Gel Eyeliners are totally true to their claims and are truly hypoallergenic. They retail for 1500 NGN(that's about $11) and I'd say that's fair enough for 5g of product.A thin foil (shown below) is also included to keep the product from drying out
  
  

The protective foil included

Would I use this product? Yesssss(already using it) and i would purchase the other 3 colors
Would I reccomend it? I would totally do If you'd like to purchase asta gel eyeliners for personal or professional use be sure to hit me up on mccoybeautyinc@gmail.com and i would hook you up. Have a great weekend people,cheers!
