Living Nature Nourishing Hand CreamBeauty by Mrs C - November 20, 2011On the hunt for easily absorbed hand cream on Google, I happened upon Living Nature Nourishing Hand Cream.So many of the hand creams I've tried recently have made my hands sticky for ages after applying and quite simply don't really do the job. This Living Nature Hand Cream is lovely though. If I feel my hands are a bit dry, I can rub some in
Lush Lip Scrubs and Lip TintsBeautyChristmas Blogs by Mrs C - November 15, 2011November 22, 2011 I've found a brilliant Lip Scrub from Lush called Pow Wow ! I suppose it's kind of like a gentle lip exfoliator. You just put a small amount on your finger and apply it to your lips in a circular motion. The popping candy and the sugar gently scrubs the lips and the jojoba oil soothes them. The added rose hip oil and argan oil keep
Evolve Gentle Cleansing MeltBeauty by Mrs C - November 15, 2011I've been trying Evolve Gentle Cleansing Melt over the past week or so and it's one of those products that in theory should suit me down to the ground.I've developed quite sensitive skin over the past few years so I'm constantly changing my skincare regime looking for the perfect products. Evolve Cleansing Melt should have been a No-Brainer then but I couldn't have been more
A’kin Rosehip & Shea Intensive Face CreamBeauty by Mrs C - November 8, 2011November 8, 2011By now you must all know how much I love A'kin products. I am a massive fan of their moisturisers and unsurprisingly their Rosehip & Shea Intensive Face Cream didn't let the side down.It's definitely a nighttime product (well for me anyway!) as it's quite rich and creamy. It doesn't go on greasy like lots of other night-time moisturisers though and it doesn't take ages
Oops I’ve Broken a Rib!Beauty by Mrs C - October 31, 2011November 4, 2012Had a disaster of a day yesterday. Decided to do a Gok and 'rationalise' my wardrobe.You know the sort of thing. Open doors, stare for a while, try to decide what to chuck in the charity bag, start throwing things on the floor, one pile for charity, one for 'maybe keep', try things on which haven't seen the light of day since you were a
Comvita Nourishing Hand & Nail CreamBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - October 10, 2011October 11, 2011Hand Cream is a difficult one to get right isn't it? So many of them are too heavy, too sticky or too thick. A few years ago Santa put some Handy Gurugu from Lush in my Christmas Stocking. Boy does that take a long time to rub in and it stinks too - a kind of herbal 'old-lady' soap kind of smell. Some ladies out
Champneys Moisture Miracle Rescue BalmBeauty by Mrs C - September 20, 2011 Oh no......my Champney's Moisture Miracle Rescue Balm has nearly all gone. I use it for absolutely everything and I love the stuff! Obviously I use it on my lips to keep them nice and moist but I also happen to rub it on my elbows when they feel dry and it's brilliant as a cuticle cream too. My heels got the Moisture Miracle Rescue Balm
Comvita Protective Day MoisturiserBeautyShopping and About Town by Mrs C - September 12, 2011The jury's still out on the Comvita Protective Day Moisturiser which I bought last month. It definitely does the job on the moisturising front but I'm finding it a bit sticky. It seems to take ages to sink in, which is more than a bit annoying in the mornings when time is of the essence and you're waiting to put your make-up on.Granted though, on
Guerlain Terracotta Skin Healthy Glow Foundation – Yay!!Beauty by Mrs C - August 24, 2011August 24, 2011Being a freckly, fairish person I don't tend to wear foundation really in the Summer and rely on my 'healthy, freckly' look to get by. It's difficult to put foundation on top of freckles anyway without it looking way, way too obvious for my liking. But I've been trying Guerlain Terracotta Skin Healthy Glow Foundation in the 'Blondes' shade off and on over the past
What Is A Radius Toothbrush?Beauty by Mrs C - August 23, 2011I have just started using a Radius Toothbrush and am reserving judgement properly until I've been using it for a few months.Radius claim that their toothbrushes last for up to 9 months which is loads longer than ordinary toothbrushes. Apparently their bristles don't absorb water and this means they last longer. Well, we'll see!I am rubbish with toothbrushes and am forever having to buy
