beauty boxes

So I've just signed up to start receiving glossy boxes a monthly subscription services that allows you receive a box of goodies every month for just £10!!
This is a great idea for those of us who like to try new things and add to a growing collection, you can even order a subscription as a present!! Cant wait to receive my first box and start reviewing the items :)

I also found a company that allows you to customise your samples box or order a preset box, from 4 choices; clean & fresh, editors picks, healthy from the inside and a beauty box, each ranges in price but affords you the chance to trial new different products at a fraction of the price on a try before you buy scheme!!  Check out http://www.latestinbeauty.com

Happy shopping guys :)

Gelly ii

So I finally got round to using my Barry M Gelly nail paints

I went for 'blue grape' on my toes and 'greenberry' on my fingers

With base and top coats used also!

I love these paints, thr greenberry is such a fresh cool summer colour and the blue grape is so rich it feels almost luxurious

Will definitely be returning to the drug store for more fun and fruity colours :)

Pamper Day Take 2!! :)

Now if you read my previous post entitled 'Pamper day!!' you'll know it wasn't a very good visit, and I wasn't a happy bunny :(

But hurrah.... my lovely boyf who found me the first Pamper package, was obviously not very impressed with my feedback, so lo and behold, he went and sourced another salon and booked me in for a 1 hour massage.
So today I happily jumped in the car as he drove me down to Valentines Hair and beauty in Orpington, Kent.
I was greeted warmly by a lady in the reception area, and asked to take a seat while my therapist prepared for my visit, after a few moments, my therapist Kayleigh introduced herself to me, and led me through to the treatment room, where I was asked to disrobe and make myself comfortable, Kayleigh left the room to give me a moment to prepare and re-entered to start my treatment, which I have to say was a welcome breath of fresh air after the awful experience I'd had previously, she had a firm touch to ease my troubled back and legs, she took the time and care needed to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the treatment and would check frequently if the pressure was OK for me, we had a lovely chat throughout my treatment, and I felt I got to know her slightly, which is always quite comforting and relaxing in itself (to me anyway). 
After the full 1 hour allotted time, Kayleigh finished my massage and explained she was going to leave the room to give me a few moments to get my self re-orientated and dressed, and after asking if I'd like a glass of water which I gratefully accepted she went to bring one back for me.

Kayleigh is a very accomplished Beauty Therapist, who like myself believes it is her job to make the client feel as best she can, and to deliver excellent customer services and treatments.

I felt very at ease within the salon, very welcomed and in good hands, it was well set out and the different treatment areas well defined, Nail stations at the front of the salon, Beauty, Tanning and Weight loss areas in rooms off of the main corridor and Hair area to the back of the salon. Every area looked well kept, clean and tidy.

I will definitely be booking back in for more treatments.

Thank you to Kayleigh for restoring my back and equilibrium

Happy Pampering guys :)

Gelly

I recently purchased 2 new nail polishes; Gelly hi-shine nail paint by Barry M in Blue grape and greenberry :)
I cant wait to try them out!!

A gift in the post! :)

Today I received my package from Rana Argan Oil

I ordered the small bottle of Argan oil as a tester and was kindly given a pink wash cloth and bag of roses as a gift! The set came in a pretty hessian drawstring bag and included written instructions on the many ways to use this miracle oil!
Im excited to start using this oil and hopefully reaping the benefits of it!

Thank you Evelym and Neil
