Review: Super facialist by Una Brennan (Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask and Neroli Firming Super Lift Night Cream)


When I was in London Boots was on 3 for 2, so I thought I'd take advantage of that to try out the Super Facialist by Úna Brennan range. 

There were a bunch of really interesting products to choose from, but the two that really peaked my interest were the Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask and the Neroli Firming Super Lift Night Cream. 


Both are absolutely awesome! On the smell level, both are incredible. They seriously smell so gorgeous, but not like perfume, just like natural goodness. If you don't like the scent though, it doesn't linger or anything.

The mask is a thinner clay that's easy to spread. It dries quickly and really helps to purify the skin and absorb excess oil. However, my skin never feels completely stripped after using it. It refines the pores as well. I remove it after it's dried with a hot wash cloth. I also like how it's easier to remove since it's thinner than your usual mask. It doesn't tug. Always nice.

Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Kaolin, Silt, Cetearyl alcohol, Glyceryl stearate, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan stearate, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter), Mel (Honey), Persea gratissima (Avocado) oil, Phenethyl alcohol, Citrus aurantium dulcis (Sweet orange) peel oil, Citrus aurantium amara (Bitter orange) oil, Canaga odorata (Ylang ylang) flower oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Maltodextrin, Caprylyl glycol, PEG-20 stearate, Xanthan gum, Coco-glucoside, Citric acid, Salicylic acid, Glycerin, Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) extract, Nasturtium officinale (Watercress) flower/leaf extract, Urtica dioica (Nettle) extract, Sambucus nigra (Elderflower) flower extract, Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Amyl cinnamal, Benzyl benzoate, Benzyl salicylate, Cinnamyl alcohol, Geraniol, Hexyl cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Dipropylene glycol

The night cream is also just really nice. It has kind of a stiff gel-cream consistency that's really hydrating but not too thick. It doesn't clog pores (at least not my pores), and when I wake up in the morning, my skin just feels nourished. I can't comment on the whole wrinkles thing because I don't have any, but my skin does feel firmer in general since I've been using this, and it does help the lines on my neck (because I'm horrible and not as good to my neck as I am to my face).

Neroli Firming Super Lift Night Cream Ingredients:

So far the Úna Brennan range gets a huge thumbs up from me, and after this I really want to try some other products from the range!
