A little fun post of things I am loving ... and those I am not loving quite so much!
IN
OPI NAIL POLISH
I'm back to natural nails and as such rediscovering the variety of nail colours I own. Whilst I am a true nail whore and own over 100 polishes by Chanel, Orly, MAC, CND plus the usual high street suspects - I would say OPI remains my favourite for quality and staying power. I am looking forward to getting out my pastels and hot pinks and oranges for Summer! Here are just a few from my collection:
L'OCCITANE HAND CREAM
Well if I am going to wear lovely nail polish I need to get my hands looking good and winter has left them a little war wounded. I recently re-discovered the joy of L'Occitane dry skin hand cream with 20% Shea Butter. Leaves my hands feeling soft, looking smoother and - big bonus - it smells divine!
L'OREAL BODY EXPERTISE NUTRILIFT (DRY TO VERY DRY SKIN)
Fake tanning, exfoliating and fake tanning again over and over to infinity means my skin takes a proper battering. I am not very good at remembering to moisturise but at my age I can't afford not to anymore. This body lotion is one of the best I have tried (even surpassing - for me - more expensive brands such as Clarins). It doesn't irritate my skin, absorbs quickly (so practical) and leave my skin looking and feeling better. Plus Superdrug have L'Oreal on 3 for 2. Who could ask for more?!
OUT
CLARINS BEAUTY FLASH BALM
Try as I might to love this product (and over the years I really really have tried) - I just doesn't seem to make any difference. I have applied it as a thin layer prior to make up, or as a thick layer as a mask then removed with toner (i.e completely as directed) and yet it never makes my skin look any better. I wish I was one of the people it worked for - I so wanted it to! Sad face.
LANCOME GENIFIQUE YEUX
Been using this consistently since November - and its another one that I had such high hopes for only to be sorely disappointed. I will use it to the end of the pot (mostly because it was REALLY expensive) but then I suspect I will go back to my beloved Kiehls Avocado Eye cream which has the heavy creamy consistency that seems to work much better on my type of skin.
L'OREAL STUDIO SECRETS SMOOTHING RESURFACING PRIMER
Broke me out. Massively. That is all. :(
