Update and Eye makeup removers

First post of 2011! I hope every had a great holiday whether it was celebrated with endless parties or just quiet nights in keeping snug and warm :)

I think I will be doing a slight new change to how I write posts now. So instead of writing upcoming posts that I possibly won't write at the end, instead I will just leave that out and just write as I go. And I mostly don't end up writing them because they simply didn't make much of an impression or it was just an average product xD
On to eye makeup removers!...

So I've tried a few eye makeup removers so far:
-Estée Lauder
-Boots Botanics
-Shills
-Clinique
-Boots No7
-Lancôme

And my favourite one so far is Estée Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover£17, 100ml

I like this one because it effectively dissolves the make up almost straight away, so it doesn't smudge around your eyes. And it even removes waterproof mascara! It doesn't have any separate oil in it so you don't need to shake it up every time and it isn't too oily on the lids either. So now the Estée Lauder one is my staple eye makeup remover and will keep repurchasing it until I stumble upon a better one!
The least effective on the list as the Boots No7 one as it just smudged the make up around my eyes... I had panda eyes after every time I used it.

So now that I've found my all time favourite eye makeup remover, I'd recommend this one for people with oily/combination skin that loves to wear eye makeup and it's totally worth your £'s

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful and safe New Year to all my readers! :)

Keep Warm With Lace?

If like in the UK you have been surrounded by a blanket of snow and ice recently,

you may have been piling on the woollen layers and ended up looking a bit like a marshmallow. Or you may just be braving the cold snap and dash out with a new lace dress you bought for a party, and then crawl back into the warmth of your own heater with a cold.

However have you ever considered using lace to your advantage? Surprisingly lace can actually keep you a bit warmer than wearing a few extra of the same layers, because you can trap small pockets of air against your skin which will stop your body heat from escaping so quickly.
Perfect combination examples include a lace shirt peeking out under a snug jumper or wearing a lace pair of leggings under a pair of high-shine ones (don't say you haven't tried wearing two pairs of tights!)

Anyway, keep warm this winter readers!
And I wish good health to you all this Christmas!
Happy Holidays~

Casual Oufit Today: Winter fur

It was freezing today!

I wasn't dressed for shopping though so I picked up a furry gilet on the way back home, and took some quick snaps of my outfit~
Excuse the blurry first pic, I loathe using flash.... >.<

Close up of my new furry friend...


I did wear this with my black Ugg inspired boots so it matched a black bag that I was using, and I just find it less effort to walk in compared to heels~

How do you keep warm on the chilly days??

[Video] What's On My Nails - Nov Tutorial

My current love! Barry M Instant Effects Nail Polish! It's perfect to fix a dodgy nail paint job, or a traumatic smudge. Super quick drying, easy to use and you can just wack it over in anyway way, and it'll sort itself out.
I've been getting loads of compliments and questions such as 'OMG are they real?' 'Did you do them yourself?' 'How did you do that??' Well here it is, Enjoy~

Painless Waxing?

Okay so maybe it isn't exactly WAXING, but I think it can compare WITHOUT the pain!

Veet Suprem' Essence In Shower Cream 135ml - £6.49

I have used in-shower hair removal creams from the Veet range before, and I find them quite effective on fine/normal hair. So, specifically for leg hair! If used correctly it takes away the whole length of hair, and it's results last almost as long as waxing (1-2weeks) which is better than shaving but not quite as lasting.
For first time users, you may need to apply the cream twice, leaving the recommended amount of time between applications. All the instructions are included within the package, and must be followed with caution, because it is a big tube of chemicals after all!

The maximum of time the cream is allowed on your skin in 6mins, so on virgin hair you want to apply a thick but even amount all over the legs with the sponge in small strokes (not rubbing in!). Make sure you cover the whole length of hair as that's what you want to remove after all, so you may end up looking like your wearing really long leg warmers of cream! Then after 6mins of the cream working it's magic, you can hop in the shower and gently massage the cream off with the rough side of the included sponge. And like I stated before one application might not be enough, but when your washing the cream off the chemicals are still working so wait until after you dry off to start evaluating the results! And repeat the process if necessary AFTER 72 hours.

Regardless of whether the cream removes all of your hairs or not, there are super moisturising properties in this new formula that they have brought out. It states on the package:

"Veet Suprem' Essence formula has been enriched with a blend of essential oils and velvet rose to leave your skin moisturised and delicately scented. No more cuts or unpleasant depilatory cream smell. Thanks to a unique combination of water resisting ingredients the cream has the power to stay on the skin in the shower."

Which I felt it does moisturise more than the original formula, but I would team it with a moisture packed body butter afterwards to get the full silky smooth experience!

Always remember to READ the precautions and instructions before use.
