I love my lotions and potions, so I am actually surprised that I have not posted something like this before. So here it goes, I thought I would share with you some of the items that I simply cannot live without and would suggest you buy now and be forever happy. There is no reason to my choices, it is all purely stuff I have tried and fallen in love with.
Firstly, not a lotion or indeed a potion but something I buy loads of and cannot live without. Party feet, the little bit of gel heaven on a night out. Basically, they are gel insoles that you put where the balls of your feet rest in high heels and they alleviate the pressure avoiding that feeling of your feet burning on a night out. I love these and buy a pair every time I buy a new pair of heels. They are a god-send and although sometimes they don't stop the pain completely, they do avoid that horrible feeling you get the day after when your feet are still punishing you for the night before. There are loads available; Scholl are the originals and are great they stick really well and they do limited edition ones that are glittery, they cost about £5 but are well worth the money. Avon do some as well which I would recommend.
Now, another wonder product has to be Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Skin Protectant. Apparently the solution was originally to keeps horses hooves supple, how much of this is true I don't know but I can believe it. This caramel coloured sticky solution does smell a bit but it is amazing. It can be used as a lip gloss, or a gloss on your cheeks or eyes. It is fantastic for dry skin anywhere, from your elbows and knees to your hands. The whole eight hour range is amazing but the skin protectant lasts for ages as you only need a little bit at a time. It's not cheap but if you are lucky you might pick up a bargain at TkMaxx or cheapsmells.co.uk usually has good offers. This has been going for ages and when you try it you can see why.
Make-up wise here up my tips:
Nail polish you cannot beat Barry M for colour and value for money. OPI is good you are willing to spend a little bit more, especially there Burlesque glitter range, not great to take off but brilliant coverage and it lasts. Nails Inc is always great and over Christmas I found gift sets at TkMaxx with ten nail polishes for only £14, BARGAIN! However, Rimmel or Barry M makes your money go a long way.
Mascara, I think Maybelline Falsies is great and once I had it on and cried my eyes out and no running or smudging not many non-waterproof mascaras can claim that. Or Avon's Sonic boost vibrates and opens up your eyelashes, a little strange sensation at first but does actually work.
Lipglosses, I like Maybelline anything and Rimmel lip vinyl has great coverage and great colours.
For body lotions, scrubs or anything for the bath you cannot beat Soap and Glory. The pink (and now blue) packaging is enough to make me run to see what's new. With a distinctive smell everything they do is amazing and has brilliant names. Scrub your nose in it face wash, is cleansing and exfoliating. Sexy mother pucker is a lipgloss that plumps up your lips with a tingling sensation. The righteous butter is one of the creamiest and delicious body lotions just a must buy. All Soap and Glory sets are always sell outs. Over Christmas Boots frequently sold out, especially if they have them at half price or in the sale, if you can pick up a set you are one of the lucky one. Over the last couple of years they have launched a men’s’ range (which my boyfriend loves) and a best of British range, which is equally brilliant. They also do minis so if you are unsure on splashing the cash then buy one of these and try away.
A staple for every woman should be Simple make up wipes, not too greasy and gets to grips with dirt. They also are for sensitive skin so no irritation. Another one to note is Johnson's eye makeup remover pads are also really good for stubborn make up.
I probably have more so I will share them as I remember them but I hope you find something from the above that you love. Also if you have any tips leave a comment, I love finding out about new products.
