Why do they happen? Perhaps you know exactly what I’m talking about, but perhaps not. Sometimes I’ll paint my nails, a miracle will occur and I’ll not smudge a single one of them. I’ll feel very smug about my perfect manicure and then, when I wake up the next morning, bubbles will have formed in… Continue reading Bubbles in nail varnish
I’m kind of fussy about foot creams. They should be creams rather than gels. They should not be greasy. They absolutely should not smell like mint. That last factor is one I’ve never understood. I want minty fresh breath, but not minty fresh feet. That’s just weird. And maybe it’s just me, but the result… Continue reading Product review: Soap and Glory Heel Genius
Um, you guys? It’s June? Why did no one warn me that the year was going so quickly? How can it be that we’re into month six and I’m still writing 2016 as the date? This seems to happen every year, you’d think I’d get used to it. Anyway, since the year is already running away… Continue reading Favourite products of 2017 so far…
See what I did there? Oh whatever, it was that or eggstravagant. Although, it now occurs to me that we’ve all been missing out on an extra pun level by not being Sean Connery when we talk about Eggsellent Easter stuff. Anyway, moving swiftly on. Originally this was going to be a selection of lovely… Continue reading Five eggsellent Easter nail polish shades
For me, last year’s Glossybox from February had been a little disappointing. It had been Valentine’s Day themed, which I didn’t mind in itself, but for some reason, a decision had been made to send tweezers and a razor in the pack. I don’t know about you, but the removal of hair doesn’t speak to… Continue reading February Glossybox Unboxing (2017)
Whenever I go home to visit my mother in Leeds I know that there’s going to be some kind of beauty treat in it for me. This time it was wonderful sparkly Christmas shellac nails, including the use of some cool chrome powder. Now, I normally shy away from shellac nails because they’re a pain to take… Continue reading Christmas shellac nails
In 2016 I stepped up my beauty game. I still insisted on being lazy almost 100% of the time, which for me means no makeup and my hair gets washed and combed before I go out, but not usually styled. However, on the occasions when I wanted to make an effort, I made sure that… Continue reading Favourite beauty finds of 2016
Whenever I head home to Leeds my wonderful beautician mother tries to get as many treatments done for me as possible. On my recent visit home last month this was a manicure/pedicure with a wonderful shimmery blue polish to match my new blue hair. The blue works not only because it matches the hue of… Continue reading Mani/pedi at home
With a title like that I’d better start with a bit of a disclaimer: I really like Burt’s Bees as a company. I love their ethical philosophy and I think their founder, Roxanne Quimby, is an extremely cool women. Naturally I also love (some of) their products. For example, I love their Naturally Norishing Milk… Continue reading My conflicted feelings about Burt’s Bees
While I was home I was lucky enough for my mother (who is a beautician) to offer me a manicure and pedicure. This is one of the highlights of having a mother who is a beautician, by the way. I strongly recommend it. Since it’s Spring I wanted something cheerful so I chose Tropix from the… Continue reading Manicure and pedicure with UV activated polishes
