So today being a lazy Sunday and all, I decided to do a mask at home. It's been such a long time since I've done one cos I tend to forget to do it on a regular basis. So I went to find which masks I had open and found this one: The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3-in-1 Scrub Mask. As you can see I'm more than halfway done with it, which is a good thing cos it means I can open new tubs after this one's done. :)

I like masks that can be spread on the face and washed off more than sheet masks.

For this mask, I believe it's the smell that drew me to it and made me buy it. It smells really yummy. The consistency is just right, not super liquidy that it would drip all over the place. This product doesn't dry up like the warming mineral clay mask (also from TBS) that I was using alternatively with this one. It started hardening after a while, so I had to finish it up ASAP. It was getting harder and harder to squeeze it out of the tube. But to be fair, I also love the clay mask cos I like the warm sensation on my skin upon application and it makes my face feel so clean after it's washed off.

So, I just spread a layer all over my face, massaging the oat bits onto my skin, and let it dry for like 15-20 mins before rinsing off with water. This mask makes my skin feel so refreshed and so soft and smooth afterwards that I myself couldn't believe it just now. This retails for SGD29.90 for a 100ml tub. I don't know if it's considered pricey. But if you do and wanna give it a try, just wait for in-store promotions. It'll be worth it.

Disclaimer: This is in no way an advertisement and I wasn't paid to write this. Just my personal view. And I bought it with my own money.

So who knew that TBS give out samples? I dropped by TBS yesterday, wanting to buy some stuff from the original 1980s beauty classics which is now on promo, but I hesitated cos I didn't feel like spending. So while I was there sniffing away at the new scents, I was approached by a male SA. I casually asked him whether these will be permanently on the shelves from now on and he said yes. So I said, that means I don't have to buy them now right. He was like yeah. I made a face smelling the banana shampoo, and he said that the smell doesn't actually last long after washing your hair with it. And he said, would you like to have a sample? I was like, huh, what? You can give out samples? He said, well yes we do give out samples if you ask for it. And then he asked what I was interested to try. And so, I asked for the banana shampoo and conditioner as well as the ice blue shampoo. He went to take the tester bottles and poured some in sample jars that he carefully labelled with a green glittery pen no less.I thought that was neat. haha.
