Product summaries

Friday, 20 July 2012

This is something a little different from my normal posts. Generally i dont use many products (except for my nails). I dont have a particular skincare routine and my hair usually gets a brush and a blow dry straight out of the shower. But lately there are a few things which i have been using and really love, so i thought i would share them with you.



1) Figs and Rouge balm (peppermint and tea tree) - i got this in the bloggers boutique goody bag a couple of months ago and it has nearly run out. It smells really nice and has a good consistency, feels very moisturising on my lips. The only downside is the tin is quite difficult to open and its only a small tin.

2) Flexitol cuticle and nail cream - i started using this because i often get skin peeling around my nails and its made a real difference. It has a slightly odd smell but is a nice thick cream which sinks into the skin and helps to heal around the nail.

3) Daisy by Marc Jacobs - this has been my go to perfume for a few years now. This is my second bottle and i use it all year round. Its such a lovely fragrance, i wish it lasted a bit longer during the day though.

4) Simple hydrating light moisturiser - this is my daily moisturiser now and i like how light the cream in and how easily it sinks in. Especially in comparison to the Nivea moisturiser i bought recently. The only advantage of the nivea one is that it contains spf 15.

5) Hand Food by Soap and Glory - this bottle has nearly run out! But i think i will be buying another one. It has such an amazing smell and i find it sinks into my hands really quickly.

Hope you like this kind of post :) have you tried any of these products? What are your go-tos?

Okay so i sound pretty strange! But her is my first video. I filmed it using photobooth on my macbook and the quality isnt too bad. I only did one take because the lighting was getting bad, and i havent edited it (because i dont have a clue how to), so hope you guys like it. I made it because its an easy way to show you what i bought today, otherwise it might be a while before i get them into outfit posts. If anyone has any video making tips they would be really useful!

I also showed you my nails, will get a tutorial post of those up soon. But they really are so simple to do. My inspiration came from Erin for the diy nail stickers and they really are such a great idea. Might have a go at a few other shapes soon too. On the theme of nails, does anyone know where i can get hold of the topshop nail art pens that came out at the end of last year? They dont seem to stock them instore or online anymore..
