LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter!

Hello lovely readers,

As a "mostly" nail blogger, I'm ashamed to admit I don't pay as much attention to my cuticles as I should...I know *hangs head in shame* Though I promise my moisturising game is STRONG. I always have a tube or ten about my person & it helps having an office job where I can keep one within reach on my desk to use religiously!

However going back to the cuticle situation, I am actively trying not to neglect them with the help of some nourishing oils, lotions & potions designed specifically for keeping them healthy. One product which has been repurchased a few times now by moi & never fails to do this is the divine LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter (RRP £6.95) ... rhyming gives me such satisfaction...you did good on the name LUSH.

And the fab thing about this stuff other than the fun name? Its a multi tasker! Don't you just love those? Yes this wee tub of creamy yellow goodness can be used on not just your cuticles but your entire hand for a nourishing treatment, on the elbows, knees, heels...heck anywhere that requires a bit of extra TLC. 

As is clear from the name this cuticle butter has a delightfully refreshing lemony scent to it, so if wide awake, refreshing scents are your thing then this will be right up your street. The ingredients sound like a pamper haven, including treats such as coconut oil, Shea butter, Sicilian lemon oil...mmmm.

The butter itself is a thick formulation, you only need a tiny amount to reap its benefits & once warmed up, it soaks into the skin leaving your hands (or wherever you've applied) feeling fab again. A little definitely goes a long way! I've yet to try it in such a way but I've heard that this stuff is fab for the lips too!

Have you tried Lemony Flutter? Thanks for reading!

Lotsa love to ya!

Happy Feet - Winter Foot Pampering!

Hello there my lovely readers,

Now, the tootsies are a topic that no one likes to get in to too much detail about, however just because we now find ourselves in the season of wrapping up the layers, doesn't mean we should start neglecting our little feet, we do owe them a lot after all, getting us from a-z everyday, often suffering at the hands of high heel torture ;) Every now & again I like to treat myself to a wee foot pamper session to keep them in as tip top condition as possible, with the help of these few essential products that have become firm favorites of mine.

First up we have the *Emjoi Micro Pedi Nano foot exfoliating device. You may be familiar with this range available in Boots, of which I am already a fan of. I've tried & tested the MicroNail Electronic Buffer & been very impressed with the results of beautifully buffed shiny nails. Emjoi also offer a range of electronic foot exfoliaters, including this new addition which not only comes in a range of cheerfully bright colours but is also travel sized for your convenience!

The Emjoi Micro Pedi Nano (RRP £29.95) is battery operated (2xAA) & works by gently removing hard rough skin with the use of the unique anti-bacterial Flex + roller technology that contours around the foot enabling you to gently yet effectively exfoliate those hard to reach places.

Thanks to its compact size, you can easily pop the Micro Pedi Nano in your travel bag without taking up too much space & it is so easy to use, in the space of minutes you are left with smooth soft skin. I've used this quite a few times, noticing a visible difference & the little Nano has been perfect to prep the feet for the next stage of my foot pamper routine, bringing me on to my next product...LUSH Volcano Foot Mask!

I picked this up on one of my LUSH sprees, after reading many positive reviews & being very curious to try it myself. Containing an intriguing mix of ingredients from kaolin & pumice to tomatoes & papaya, Volcano (RRP £6.75) is an invigorating foot mask that also doubles as an exfoliater. The scent of the mask is quite pungent & spicy but not in an unpleasant way at all.

To use the mask apply generously to the feet, I would do this in the bath as it can get quite messy! Whilst applying be sure to rub the thick paste in well activating the exfoliation. Then whack a couple of plastic bags over your feet, I use sandwich bags which are the ideal size, & leave the mask to work its magic for about 20 minutes. During this time you'll feel a slight tingly sensation but not uncomfortable, it just means the mask is working! Once ready, remove the bags & rinse off the mask well using the shower head, a bit of rub rub rub action will be required too. Once completely clean you are left with noticeably smooth & soft tootsies ready for the final stage of my foot pamper session...moisturisation!

For this I reach for Soap & Glory's Heel Genius (RRP £5.50) which has become a Holy Grail product for me...this stuff is INCREDIBLE & blows all other foot creams out the water. Heel Genius Amazing Foot Cream really deserves that title, a thick blue gel like formula, it contains magic making ingredients such as allantoin, glycerin, macadamia oil, menthol & bilberry & provides such intense hydration to the skin without the weight of a heavy cream. I apply this straight after the foot mask & immediately whack on a pair of of socks, which I keep on overnight, letting the cream soak in, really reaping the full benefits. 

Come morning you'll have smooth soft feet fit to rival a goddess ready for some pretty polish to complete your foot pampering! Me being me I can't finish this post without suggesting a polish to you my lovelies, currently I'm LOVING wearing Barry M Vanilla Matte on the toes, an odd pick perhaps but this is such a lovely lilac tinted nude, so pretty, especially when topped with a glossy top coat! Highly recommend!

And that sums up my winter foot care pampering, happy feet all the way! Have you tried any of these products? Thank for reading!

Lotsa love to ya!

Product Love - LUSH Feeling Younger Skin Tint Review

Hello lovely readers!

Now I, like I'm sure many of you out there, am forever on a mission looking for that healthy, glowing, youthful skin reminiscent of mystical Elven beings that all women strive for. So any product which claims to give such an effect to my skin will draw me to it like a magpie to sparkles.

One such product that has made it to one of my top beauty products of 2014 & which I feel has succeeded in making my skin GLOW is the Feeling Younger Skin Tint from LUSH. LUSH is a brand I'm sure you're familiar with for their divine bath products yet I have discovered that there are few stellar make up bits & bobs hidden amongst those soaps & bath bombs too. Their liquid eye liners which I've blogged HERE are particularly pretty!
