NOTD Rimmel Ultra Voilet

I am often drawn to purple-y colours and I have many in my collection. So this caught my eye while browsing boots not so long ago.

Rimmel nail polish is always so easy to apply due to the ultra wide brush. However, this only lasted 12 hours before a tiny chip appeared. And 8 of those hours I was sleeping... Grrrr...

The colour is exactly what it is named, Ultra Violet. But I think I'll use it on my toes next time.

My nails are longer than I like them to be on these photos. I always feel like I have witches fingers when my nails are long!

Photos are taken outside in the sunshine. And indoors.

Posting from my sick bed. And coming up on my Blog....

Last night I spent what felt like the whole night downstairs in my living room nursing the most awful migraine. I am have spent the day today in a haze of ear ache, head aches and neck pain... Just not good.



I have used all the above products tonight to make myself feel better and, hopefully, help me to sleep well.

Sanctuary is one of my favourite ranges. All the products work well, feel so luxurious and smell divine. I also bought myself a Yankee Candle yesterday in Lemon Lavender. Lavender never fails in relaxing me, it is one of my most favourite scents. Although I know not many people agree with me!

The candle was in Clintons on Sale down from £7.99 to £3.99. Always nice to save a few pennies.

After my bath I have climbed into bed with fresh pyjamas, fluffy socks and my favourite dressing gown.  I am watching old episodes of Friends, and have let our dog in our bedroom to keep me company while the other half works tonight.

What do you do when you don't feel too well?


Next week on my blog I will be talking about the nSpa skincare range I bought a couple of weeks ago, and will be posting any Nails of the Day photos that I take.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend  xx

NOTD Nails Inc Peach Sorbet

This is the final of the trio of freebies from In Style. And, my least favourite. Not because of the colour, because it was a nightmare to apply! And I still think it looks a little scruffy after base coat, 3 coats, and top coat. Maybe it is because it is such a pastel shade.

Despite it being a pain to apply, the colour looks nice and gives your hands a nice manicured look (if you do a better job than me at applying!)

Am I the only one a teensy bit disappointed with this one?

Thanks for reading xx

NOTD Nails Inc Bluebell

Good morning! I hope everybody is enjoying the bank holiday weekend.

Today my nails of the day are Nails Inc Bluebell. This is a beautiful pale blue, lilac colour, I absolutely love it!

It needed two coats to look absolutely perfect. This has definitely taken a hop, skip and jump to my favourites.

NOTD Nails Inc Power Pink

I had to share this colour with you. I have been mixed most of the day, I get like that about pink nail varnish! One minute I love, next minute, not so sure. But now in settled on I love it.

Can't wait to try the other Nails Inc freebies!

(Another post from my iPhone!)

Have you bought this months In Style yet? Which colour did you pick up?

Have you picked up yours?

I am having a real nightmare with blogger on my laptop switching my images the wrong way round! I've been trying for days to post my April Favourites. So today, I shall be blogging from my iPhone!

In Style this month have 3 Nails Inc nail polishes to collect. Worth £11 each. Fab freebie!

The colours are completely gorgeous. I have added my instagramed photo, but of anybody wants swatches, I'll happily post.

The Body Shop Shower Gel & Body Butter

I haven't shopped in The Body Shop in years, we're talking probably since when I was 15. And I loved White Musk, do they still sell that?! On a recent shopping trip, I thought I'd give the Shower Gel a try as I've heard some great things about it.

I picked up Coconut Shower Cream and the Satsuma and Pink Grapefruit Shower Gels. They were on offer at 3 for £8.

I always choose coconut scented anything. But this, surprisingly, isn't my favourite. It doesn't lather up at all and it's not a nice coconut scent. I love both shower gels, they foam and bubble up gloriously, and fill the bathroom (in fact, the whole upstairs of my house) with their divine scent. I can't actually decide which I love the most, possibly the satsuma. Hmmm... Tough one! The scent on your skin after showering isn't over powering by any means, just a nice delicate scent.

I also bought the Almond Body Butter, they were all on offer at £5. Usually £12.50

If I had had a smell of this in store, I probably wouldn't have bought it. Think Mr Kipling Bakewell Tart. However, I have used nearly all of it and I love it. It absorbs beautifully, and makes my skin look so much better with a gorgeous sheen to it. I don't think that the scent lingers for too long. I tend to use this before bed time and my skin still looks and feels lovely the next morning. I can't wait to try a few more scents.

The consistency of the butter is really thick, I tend to rub in between my hands before applying.

Do you like The Body Shop? What is your favourite range from there?
