My Thoughts. Edited and Published.

Bought some lovely products online from Debenhams and they have a great Eco friendly way of packaging their goodies. They appear to shred old packaging and previously used boxes to protect new products being delivered. How very resourceful :) In short, bought some BB cream because it’s all I keep hearing about. Mac Prep & Prime because I needed to revitalise my primer, and Aveda toner as a more natural alternative to my previous toner which began to irritate my skin. Reviews to follow later.

Classic Silk Bed Jacket

£94.00

So stunning, and so chic in all black silk with black satin binding and delicate ribbon ties, this piece flows seductively across your skin as nightwear or loungewear. For the more risqué, which not wear it as outerwear with a particularly beautiful contrasting bra or camisole?

Nailene Artificial Nail & Polish Remover I’ll start by saying this was not a product bought by choice! Having ordered Sally Hansen nail polish remover from ASDA online delivery, they thought it was reasonable to send this as a substitute. The large pot has a built in insert with plastic brush bristles in which you slot your finger. It’s designed so you can soak each nail for two minutes and then move your finger up and down against the bristles. It would’ve been far better if they’d made the slot bigger so you could pinch your fingertips together and get one whole hands worth soaked at one time. Be careful to not inhale too deeply as well, the smell is very strong so I’d recommend using this in a well ventilated area if you can. The fluid left my nails and skin a soft powdery white so I’d recommend using lots of moisturiser afterwards. Personally, based on how unnatural this product is, and how much it will strip the moisture from your skin, I would not choose to buy this product. The packaging is well considered though. It certainly is professional strength for artificial nails but is not suitable as an ordinary nail polish remover. Once the fluid dries up, I’ll fill it with normal strength remover and reuse the pot!

Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Cream A sweet little pot filled with delicious creamy goodness, but don’t eat it! Just smooth the white balm onto your lips for instant smoothness. The texture is very light and soft but it does have a slight sticky quality at first so if you don’t like that, it might not be for you. The stickiness feeling does die down though once it melts into your lips and it leaves a soft balmy sheen. Too much might leave a tiny tiny white residue but that’s easily sorted out. All in all, a reasonably priced high street lip balm that will make a nice edition to your summer make up bag. (I personally think it’s a summer product; it didn’t perform too well in winter) Available in 4 versions: caramel cream (the one I have), vanilla & macadamia, raspberry rose and original.
