Face Mask FunBeauty by Mrs C - May 26, 2015November 3, 2015 Last weekend, Mr. C. had the fright of his life after walking into the bedroom to see me practising my 'mindfulness' wearing a face mask. And this was no ordinary face mask either as to say I looked like Hannibal Lector at his scariest was an understatement!It wasn't one of those sticky masks which set rigid on your face so you have to peel them
