Guest NOTD and a find!

Since I am not wearing nail polish yet, another 5 days to go, here is Zeke presenting her NOTD - No7 "Totally Teal"! Love this colour :)

And remember I was going on about Soap & Glory's mini facial massage mitt? Well, I found it on Boots.com (large UK drugstore), and guess what? If you order for delivery to one of their shops, delivery is free! :) I tried this one too and it's also great! It has a suction cup on the back too so you can attach it to the bathroom tiles or a mirror. And it's PINK! 5 out of 5 stars for this little gadget!

My nails are looking ok with the Nubar Nu Nail treatment, will have to wait til Thursday to find out how they are looking underneath the treatment!

Post-Op Chanel, and Soap & Glory!

I made it through my foot surgery ok, but post-op is a painful event. Guess that's what co-codamol is for... And while getting my analgesics, I also picked up my pre-ordered Chanel "Particuliere" nail polish! :) This colour is so different, and I love it. My boyfriend describes it as "mud or some other building material that you lay bricks with". I think the word he was looking for is "grouting". I am getting totally into the new nudes for s/s 2010, the so-called "greige" trend. I think it all started with Essie "Angora Cardi".

I will do a proper manicure with this, but slightly too much in recovery at the moment to put nail polish on, so I will review some of my Soap & Glory products instead!

I blame my obsession with Soap & Glory on the work colleague who got me a manicure set from the brand for Secret Santa. A fantastic hand scrub, hand cream and a lovely nail file has been grooming my mitts since Christmas. However, my cuticles are seriously dry and cracking still - the weather is again back to snow and cold winds so guess they're just rebelling...

My absolute favourite Soap & Glory is Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser. It comes in a plastic tube with it's own muslin cloth. It smells fantastic as it's loaded with essential oils. To use, rub into the skin with circular movements; keep massaging for about a minute then wet the muslin with hot water, massage it over the skin to remove the product. Amazingly soft and smooth skin is yours! However I wouldn't recommend using it to remove eye makeup - it's quite stingy if you get it in your eye... I use No7 Makeup removing wipes to remove eye makeup then I clean with the hot cloth cleanser to remove the foundation etc. This retails for £9, but it is totally worth it!
