SONIC GlamGlow Limited edition face mask + Sega FOREVER

This is going to be a "Twofer" consisting of a SEGA beauty product and game app!

For Part 1 were going to talk about GlamGlow....

So apparently for Sonic the Hedgehogs 25th Anniversary LAST YEAR, SEGA teamed up with GLAMGLOW for an exclusive gravity mud face product but....it was never released to the public? Atleast thats what i gathered. It was given to beauty influencers and used for giveaways. THIS YEAR they've released it again, but this time in 3 limited edition tubes with iconic Sonic characters on the front:

Now I know a gimmicky product when I see one....but I also nerd out hardcore for my fandoms so I really had no choice in the matter 😂 I've never been into the hype of GlamGlows face masks. I could not understand how a (smallish) jar of product costs £40 👀 and found it strange they were partnering with Sega.., though.... it peaked my gaming and feminine sides for sure...well done marketing team haha.

The limited edition tubes have Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles on them. I picked up the "Tails" tube to try out (because hes my favorite💙). The tubes cost £14 and contain 15g of product. that still seemed like a lot but affordable in comparison. Here's the unboxing and then next to a Lime Crime Lipstick for scale:

I came into this experience with 80% optimism 20% skepticism. You can even see it on my face in the top left image 😂 My Husband (@mrmcbeer) was a trooper and helped test out the product. To start with, the mask smelled amaaazing. I said it smelled like Pi؅na Colada, Husband said "alcohol". and I turned out to be right when I later checked haha. Instructions said to leave the product on for 20-30 minutes. At first we both felt a cold tingly sensation then after 10 minutes the mask started tightening and became really metallic-y.  I dont know why I found the peeling process entertaining, maybe its a bit of nostalgia for them school days when you'd peel school glue off your fingers 😂

Final Verdict: I'm surprisingly impressed! after taking off the mask my skin felt tighter and slightly smooth. It doesnt say it softens skin,but I've been battling dry skin lately and my skin felt much nicer after using this. Even the next day, our faces still felt tightened. So yeah, Im a believer I guess haha I dont think I'll be repurchasing often (as my bank account would literally scream in agony) but maybe once in awhile I'll splurge on some GlamGlow. They have alot more travel size products available now so that definitely helps all us budget buyers!

Now for part 2! :

(official game trailer below)

Sega has recently been releasing free (so far only Genesis/Megadrive titles) games for mobile phones. there's no initial app to download as of now, all you do is type in "sega forever" in my case, onto the playstore and the games will pop up to download. The games are Ad-supported and if that bothers you, you can pay to have hem removed. More games will be released every month and all will have game pad support! You can also save your progress locally meaning they can be on your phones memory card instead of on TheCloud.

 I'll be keeping my eye out for more titles, theres already some good one available! For more information and updates, go to Forever.sega.com or their instagram @segaforever

Home Decor: 8-Bit Chopping Boards

I am always shocked what treasures are buried within the chaotic ruins known as TK Maxx (Its literally TJ Maxx, for my American readers). Granted, if youve ever been in a Ross or Marshalls back in the states this place is like a 4 star establishment in comparison 😂

 But ANYWHO I recently went on a shopping adventure to Nottingham with my Friend and fellow California leaver Courtney (hey girl heyyy!) lol and it is actually thanks to her eagle eyes that I now own this gem of a cutting board 😍
