Duped?

So I have a new addiction and it is Pinterest! Wow so much fun and so addictive wasn't something i ever though I'd like but its great. I especially like all the hair and beauty pins (strangely!) And there are so many pins and board's about dupe products. So for the last few weeks I've been pinning my heart out and looking for some good recommendations and doing a bit of shopping so I'll do a detailed post about my new buys in the next few days 

How to do it yourself pedicure at home... So I know summer is over, well, it is for me! However, there is never an excuse for non pretty feet. Here's my tips for top toes... Step 1 (see what I did there) You will need the following; • Nail polish remover • A large bowl or foot bath filled with some water (not too hot not too cold) and bubble bath • Cuticle oil • Exfoliating foot scrub • A bath towel • A hand towel • A foot callus file • Nail clipper • A fine grit nail file • Foot lotion • Cotton pads • Base coat • Your favourite nail polish! • Top coat • Toe separators I understand not everyone has all these bits just lying around but use what you can from the list... Remove any leftover polish on your feet, use mild acetone polish remover and a cotton pad to remove it. Acetone remover is not damaging to nails it also gets rid of stains etc. faster than non-acetone remover. Make an at-home pedicure more relaxing by soaking your fe...

Loreal Color Riche Vernis Nail Polish Review

Image
So I was in Boots the other day and I was looking for some new nail polish, if you saw my collection you would wonder why! But what can I say... I had noticed that Loreal had brought out some new 'mini' nail polishes last time I was in but hadn't really had a good look. I wanted something kind of nude, but with a touch of pink. This was the perfect colour.... I choose 204 Boudoir Rose. This is a really beautiful colour, its very subtle but pretty and its the exact shade I wanted. These are really great polishes and I like that they come in mini size, I don't know how many times I've bought a full size polish, got it home and worn it once! This way if you dont actually like it on you wont have wasted a whole lot of money. This was priced at £4.99, I'd say thats a kind of middle of the road price. I love Barry M Nail Polish which is £2.99 and I also like Revlon which is around £5-£6 so I guess its not too bad. The best thing I have found is its such a l...

Winter Skin Top Tips

The cold crispness of winter setting in can sometimes bring nothing more than a rosy glow to some cheeks. I unfortunately, do not afford that luxury! I feel like my whole body is suffering from horrible dryness to my skin, face, hands and feet. As soon as it gets cold outside, we turn up the heat inside and that's when my problems begin.... So here are some of my tips to help you get through; If you have a favourite moisturiser you use in the summer months, you should change, like the season do, your routine. If you have non oily skin look for something with an ointment base as this can help provide a barrier and in effect retaining moisture.  (Many night creams are oil based, therefore thicker) SPF isn't just for summer! Winter sun can still damage your skin. If you can't find an ideal moisturiser with both SPF and the heaviness you need use it separately. As in the hotter months apply around 30 minutes before going outside. Moisturise your ha...
