My Bathroom Cabinet : Essentials

I decided it was time to share my "beauty geek" essentials with you all. Products I have tried and tested and love for various reasons. Through my reviews, you may like the sound of them and perhaps try something you wouldn't have done previously? Or share my views or even disagree? I will be marking all my reviews with my "Beauty Geek" point score out of 10. 10 being highest, 1 being lowest.

First up; Nip & Fab Pistachio Sundae Dry Skin Fix Body Butter 200ml £9.95

 


I do suffer from dry skin and I am your typical nice weather moisturizer on my body...basically if the weather is warm, I moisturize but if its cold, I moisturize the parts that I can see! The main thing I love about this cream is it smells delicious and looks amazing. It is a body butter but isn't overly greasy. It soaks in quickly, so is ideal in the mornings when you are in a rush to get dressed and go. The cost is really reasonable too for the size of the tub. Brilliant for holidays and as a body pick me up. This product is on offer right now at 50% off so what are you waiting for....get shopping! I would give this one a "Beauty Geek" 7 out of 10

Next up ; (SBC) Simply Beautiful Collection Collagen Gel 125ml £11.00


This has been a long term favorite of mine. Not only because of its beautiful pink colour. But it has so many multiple uses. Its a great one for all the family too. Although its a gel it is a moisturizer, and is so cooling on the skin. It soaks in really quickly without a sticky residue. You do think when you first apply this that its never going to soak in...but trust me it really does. Its a perfect make up primer. Applied in a thicker layer makes a great deep conditioning facial mask as a pick me up. Brilliant to use right near the eyes because its a gel and therefore light enough for the eye area and the lips. Can be used on the backs of the hands or indeed anywhere on the body. Whats so amazing is its collagen, so a brilliant anti-ageing product for him and her (or just you, don't share, keep it as your little secret). Such a reasonable price for a versatile product.
This is such a universal product and a great one for your hand bag anytime, any-day  anywhere. No real over powering fragrance either. Perfect for all ages too. I would rate this one a "Beauty Geek" 9 out 10

As always, let me know your thoughts on these products if you have tried them and what you like or disliked about them.

Till next time......
Love & Sparkle

Fake Tanning: Manual V Spray

Firstly, just to clarify the differences between the two types of fake tanning. Manual tanning is applied directly onto and into the skin that has been prepared usually in a cream or lotion format and then is allowed to develop.Spray tan is applied using a compressor type air gun and is applied in a very fine mist in a liquid format and sits onto the skin until it soaks in and then develops. Manual tanning has made a big come from in recent times. Whilst previously it was all about spray tanning treatments for numerous reasons: quickness of the treatment, even application and less product generally used. But with clients wanting  to come to the salon, or treatment area and enjoy a full treatment that involves them giving up an hour or so of their time. This has really helped the manual tan application see a big come back hit! From my experience of learning many moons ago the application of manual tanning before spray tan was even out there....I know myself, I wasn't too kee...

Happy Shiny, Fresh New Year Hello and welcome to 2018, a whole new exciting new year. Are we all feeling rested and refreshed? Or quite the opposite? Ready to kick-start those new years resolutions? I don`t make any resolutions anymore. I found i just didn`t keep to them.I did make a big health decision prior to Christmas, and it has paid off. So I am aiming to continue with my journey in feeling good and balancing work with pleasure.  That`s where this blog comes in.  Love the Skin You`re In: Part 1 This time of year brings on all those "Lose 1 stone in 10 days" books, gym memberships that cost a small fortune, fad diets and exercise regimes that we just cant uphold. For many (i`ve been there),we set ourselves unrealistic targets that we just cant keep up with in our busy lives. With all this in mind, i`ve decided to put together a detox for your skin without the massive price tag. Follow my 6 part series of blogs that will talk you through using simple store cupboard...
