Something for all mamas

Remember when I said someone named abuelita / grandma showed up in my room one morning? Well, I have now remembered who she is – she is mami’s mami! Tonight, after putting me to bed, I heard mami say to abuelita that she had a special “girls only treat” and that “she needed to relax”.
Turns out, the nice people at Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques sent mami some sort of creams for her face.Luckily I was drifting off to sleep when they were trying it out, but daddy said they were covered in it!

Abuelita used the Apricot Scurb and mami the Strawberry Souffle

I couldn’t believe it – this is just what mami needed! After all she is always saying how tired she is, and how much she needs a break. I’m just a boy, so I don’t know the fine details but she did explain to me how the process worked so that I could tell you on the blog.

First, mami cleaned her face, and then opened up the yummy smelling mask – she decided to use the Strawberry Souffle in honour of Wimbledon. Since she can’t go, this is as close as she is going to get! Then she smoothed the cream all over her face and she and abuelita relaxed on the sofa with a glass of vino.

I wish I could have gotten my hands on that cream!

According to daddy, after about 20 minutes and lots of laughing – which I could hear them all the way from my room, but I was just too tired to join in, mami and abuelita went to wash off the cream. I think she may have used my washcloth because it smelled very fruity – and that’s not my style!

Smoothing it on - doesn't she look so funny?

 

Mami said her face felt smooth and refreshed - especially since it’s been so hot lately! And mami has sensitive skin, but the masks are gentle and don’t make her face itchy.

The best part about using Montagne Jeunesse is that they are easy to spread, freshens up your face and they are only 99p each! That was definitely the part that mami liked the most.

Washing her face

She said it was a “sweet deal” and recommends it to all mamas looking for a relaxing evening, or just a pick me up during our afternoon nap! Since I wasn’t up to see mami applying her mask, I asked daddy to step in and take some pictures for me. I think he did a great job, don’t you?

Now for the important stuff! Where can you get Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks?

Mami paints her face!

Not sure if other mamas out there do the same thing to their faces, but mine draws colours on her cheeks and eyes every morning before leaving for work. (I tried doing this at nursery with the crayons but my teacher made me draw on the paper instead).

After getting me dressed and having my morning milk, I usually run around until we are ready to head out the door, but not without mami shouting "little m, no! get out of there" when I play near daddy's night stand. Apparently opening the drawers are dangerous or something. I usually ignore her and run off only to try again later.

Mami then sits in front of a mirror drinking some sort of black juice that she says she "cannot live without" and smooths what looks like my sudocrem (only smaller) on her face. I thought it was just for my bottom, but I guess its for the face too! She then rubs another darker creme on her face before taking out her paint brushes and colouring set. Using different brushes, she dabs at the coloured blocks and begins to paint her face.

This morning, I took the time to stop and really look at what she was doing - and I could see mami making faces in the mirror when painting her eyes! She looked so funny - it made me laugh! She didn't move much at first, she was looking straight up in the air, and her mouth was wide open. After a few seconds she smiled back at me and put the black brush away.

After making more funny faces in the mirror, I stood next to her and asked her to paint my face, but she smiled and said "no, little m, face painting is for mamas, not little boys". Just then daddy picked me up and said, "no, that's not for you" and took me to get my jacket on. Come to think of it, I haven't seen daddy paint his face. Hmm?

Next time I am in the room I will investigate further and, if I can get up on the chair, will try out her coloured pencils and brushes!

Just in case you are wondering, the name of mami's paints are called: E.L.F. eyes lip face and her face sudocrem is: Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser. She does not recommend the light brown stuff to "cover up" with because she is not happy with the one she uses.

Any mamas out there have something better to she could try?
