Avocado mask mayhem

Hello my lovelies~
I'm not going to bother commenting on my inactivity seeing as I can't even count how long it's been since I last posted something. Now onto the main purpose of this post, AVOCADO MASKS.

I am going to retell my somewhat horrific experience with DIY avocado masks. Yes, horrific.

So I thought it would be a great idea to make an avocado hair mask and seeing as the recipe called for half an avocado, ingenious me thought 'how about I use that other half to make a face mask?'

After having followed a step-by-step recipe on how to make a face mask, I lathered a great amount of product directly onto my bare face.

A minute passed and I felt an odd tingly sensation. When the clock hit 5 minutes, my face was burning. Way to go Patty! The whole entire time, it did not occur to me that I was NOT supposed to feel this intense burning sensation. When it got to the point where my face couldn't take it any more, I quickly rinsed it off and voilà, an angry red face was staring back at me in the mirror.

I then began to panic and quickly grabbed my cleanser and scrubbed at my face. The cleanser did little to relieve the pain so I resorted to Dr. Google.

Patty: -typesintogoogle- [why is my face burning from avocado mask]

Then I find out that I have had an allergic skin reaction to the avocado. -claps-

Having read the first 15 webpages regarding this problem of mine, I go back to where I found the DIY recipe and realise there's a warning to test it out on your hand or bottom of your cheek prior to usage.

Burt's Bees Lip Balms

So my friend was being really annoying and decided to put my name down for practically every single item for my school's silent auction. In the end I won five of them but to be honest, I only wanted two. SO, I now have this tin of Burt's Bees lip balms. I heard from my aunt that she loves them and they're so good etc. So I thought, why not? 

I'm guessing I got it for a pretty cheap price because when I checked up on the internet for the prices of each individual lip balm, they were all around about $7.00AUD. Hehe, I got the whole tin of four different lip balms for $14.10AUD. 

So the flavours I have are: Acai berry (rejuvenating), Beeswax (with vitamin E and Peppermint), Mango butter (nourishing) and Pomegranate oil (replenishing). 

ACAI BERRY
Oh. My. Gosh. I tried the Acai berry just then and GUGH, I can't stop licking my lips. They taste so yummy~ I don't know if that defeats the purpose of the lip balm but damn, it goes on really smooth and tastes great. I've always had this fear of using lip balms because most of the ones I've used before. . . tasted utterly disgusting. 

I'll update on the other ones later on and I'll thoroughly review each.
I'm pretty happy with what I've purchased today ≖‿≖
