Keeping it Cool

Both nail varnishes are £2.99 each

Hola Ladies!


Picked up 2 new nail varnishes today in Boots. I wanted a pale blue shade as I don't didn't own one...

I went for the 17 brand as I've used their nail varnishes before as they're great quality, reasonably priced and the range of colours is brilliant!

'Mint Choc Chip' is the name of the blue shade. As before it applied like a dream ( 2 coats) and looked great on it's own.

I fancied jazzing it up a little so picked up Barry M's Rose Quartz Glitter - this is a pinky/gold toned chunky glitter and looks fab on! Again I applied 2 coats as I wanted it extra glittery!!!

Both products can be found here: http://www.boots.com/ and are currently on buy one get one half price!!!


What do you girls think? Fan of the glitter nail varnish or dread having to scrub it off?!

Attention All You Scrubbers...

I exfoliate and tan so much it's almost a ritual! Every Wednesday I will exfoliate my whole body and then on the Thursday have a spray tan so I'm lovely and bronzed again!

Today I went hunting in Boots to find a new exfoliant and I wanted to share my amazing find with you!!!!

Soap & Glory PULP FRICTION

I've used a lot of Soap & Glory products in the past and they have all been amazing so I was instantly drawn to this one. The exfoliant comes in a squeezy tube rather then a tub which I prefer - I've found with the tubs they get water in while in the shower and I also use too much!

Pulp Friction cost £8 and has 250ml.

For each arm I used the size of a 10p piece (this was also enough for the chest area), and for each leg I used about a £2 coin amount. When applying the exfoliant I always use gloves so it gives my skin a proper scrub! I would definitely recommend exfoliating gloves over puffs as they are a lot more effective and efficient!

This product when applied is quite thick, it exfoliates amazingly but also foams up and acts as a soap which saved me using my Soap & Glory Clean on Me! It has various fruity smells but does have a bit of 'soap smell afterwards which may put some people off?

Overall I love this product and definitely think it's going to be a new favourite to ensure I have smooth skin and a fab tan!

Soap & Glory are currently on 3 for 2 at Boots...

Miners Tin o'Tint - Review

Miners have recently released 3 brand new Tin o'Tints. These tints are basically a lip balm, but with a hint of colour and a glorious scent!! 

The 3 newest tints are Pink Grapefruit, Mango, and Cocoa Bean. The colours are gorgeous but the one that really caught my eye was the Mango, the colour is a coral pink and really vibrant and vivid, definitely up my street!

Although the tints can look bright in the tin they're not overwhelming when on... they give a cute glow so perfect for everyday wear, or on top of lipsticks more of a punch of colour! I've been wearing the Pink Grapefruit & Mango when I have more of a simple eye look (just liquid eyeliner/mascara) and then the Cocoa Bean when wearing more of a grungy, smudged eye look.

These feel amazing on, really smooth to apply and stay on for a good couple of hours. The packaging too is really handy for chucking in your bag. 

Check out Miners website for more details... these products are also stocked in Boots and House of Fraser.

Callus Peel for Hard Skin - Review

No matter how much glamming I do I always manage to forget about my footsies... and to be honest I would say they get the most abuse!  

After a whole summer of wearing flip flops (even through the rain!) and then also wearing the most ridiculous heels every weekend my feet are definitely showing some damage :(  I recently went to the Beauty Trade Show and spotted the Callus Peel Foot Treatment stand which looked really interesting...

The Treatment:

For the treatment the easiest position is to lie on your front. You then have your heels (and any other hard skin you want removed) wrapped in a Skin Softener sheet which contains natural acids to erode the skin. Your feet are then wrapped in cling film and left for 15 minutes.

Once the cling film and sheets are removed the therapist will then use the scraping tool to remove all hard skin - this tickles and also can hurt a little bit, but is tolerable for the results!

The therapist then moves on to using the foot file to smooth out the foot and remove any final layers of hard skin. To finish the treatment you then receive a lovely foot massage using the Moisture Cream which really helps the moisturiser to soak in. Your feet will then be amazingly soft and pretty <3 

Overall:

This treatment is retailed at approx. £20 which I think is worth it. I would advise one at the start or summer, and then again at the end. Or if you wanted it for a special occasion before a holiday would be perfect!

BEFORE (yuuccckkk!!!!)

AFTER (bea-utiful!!!)

Have you tried any successful treatments for hard skin?!
