Cutie-cle Oil by Cool Waves Lacquer

Hello everyone, things are a bit calmer this week as my mum is away so not out shopping or collecting children from school! 

I was sent this for review by Cool Waves Lacquer . I have tried soooo many different cuticle creams, oils etc and have yet to find any that I like. Lush Lemoney Flutter is favourite among fellow bloggers but I hate the feel and smell and some like OPI Avoplex just feel odd and dry if that is possible! 

I love the name of this Cutie-cle oil!


As you can see it is made with all natural ingredients and lots of lovely oils


Its a cute little size and perfect for taking out and about, although I keep mine on my bedside table to use last thing at night


It has a fab little rollerball applicator, I prefer this to oils in a polish type bottle as they can be very messy if knocked over, and they tend to dump too much product on my nails.

This is also quite unique in the fact it has no smell! Some oils and creams can be too strong (lemony flutter being so strong it makes me cough!) so its good if you are sensitive to added scent in products or simply prefer not to have a scent on your hands for ages!

After just 3 days use the skin around the tips of my nails is softer! I have high hops that they will get better as when they are harder I pick at them when stressed, naughty!


For more information on the products from Cool Waves visit their Facebook page here http://www.facebook.com/Cool.Waves.Lacquer, oh and like it too as some of the nail swatches are lovely to look at!

*This product was sent for my review but views are my own and honest.

More Feet inside - an update on my file!

You may remember I got sent a foot file to test and I shockingly added pictures of my most hated body part here. I hate all feet bar babies so heaven knows how I will cope when I qualify to do pedicures, gah!

Anyway enough of that, on to the file ! I think this did a great job, it got rid of the hard bits, scraggly bits and all I have problem with now is dry feet but I didn't use moisturiser as I wanted to give this a shot on its own to test its effectiveness.



The worst bit of hard skin I get is on my ball, never got this until years of dancing on hard floors and it never went away, but with regular filing it has gone!




Overall I am really impressed with the file, it will last a long time and only needs a rinse under water to get it back to full effectiveness. 

My file was sent to me for review and all views are my own, you can purchase them from http://www.design-glassware.com/luxury-edition-nail-files/969-crystal-file-foot-365-2.html

Well worth it and check out the rest of the beautiful crystal adorned things such as compact mirrors, tweezers, keyrings and even brushes!

Mont Bleu Foot File *WARNING* feet pics included!

This is the first part of a two part post.

Now I live in Birkenstocks on summer and DM's or Trainers in winter, none of these are especially good for keeping my trotters smooth, that and total lack of doing anything to them apart from the odd lick of polish on my toes!

I was contacted by Mont Bleu to test a product and I went for a foot file, not thinking about having to post horrible pictures of my feet!

Loooooook! Isn't it pretty?!




So this is my unkempt feet, oh the shame!




I fell in love with this design and its too cute! Comes in a lovely velvet pouch and is made of glass, a bit like my nail files!



This was a bit harder to picture but the file was excellent on my hard skin and this is the file after, it was covered! Run under the tap and leave to dry to recharge its powers ha!


This is the dust on my feet!


There will be a follow up post in a few weeks after some use every 3-4 days and hopefully we shall see some improvement to my horrible feet!

This products was sent to me for review, I received no payment and all opinions are mine. 

This beautiful file is available from here

Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser

I have already reviewed the Elemis Melting Gel Cleanser, but have decided to add this to my regime. I prefer my Melting Gel in the morning and this for the evening. It has a similar feel to Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish but I prefer this. It is really rich and creamy and is gentle enough to use on your eyes! I detest eye make up removers so this is perfect. You spread one or two pumps over the face and massage it around, leave it for a minute and wipe off!
This is how amazing it is as a cleanser!
One and a bit pumps, leave it to do its job and your face is left squeaky clean! Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser is available from Feel Unique, Time To Spa, QVC and all good department stores
