New Angelic skincare range from L'Occitane

L'Occitane have just launched a new range of skincare for dull and dehydrated skin using the essential oil of angelica.

During the middle ages in France, angelica was known for it's medical properties and as a herb and was highly recommended for the overworked!

In this new range there are six products:

Cleansing gel - £15.00 for 200ml

Toner - £14.50 for 200ml

Hydration cream - £29.00 for 50ml

Eye roll-on - £15.00 for 10ml

Protective lotion SPF 15 - £24.00 for 30ml

UV shield SPF 40 - £25.00 for 30ml

Has anything taken your fancy? I'd like to give the eye roll-on a try.

These are available from L'Occitane boutiques and online.

NOTD - Rimmel & Models Own

I struggled with light on this photo but it hasn't come out too bad!

Review - Soap and Glory Sugar Crush body scrub

Yes another Soap & Glory review! And yet another product rave! This time I'm reviewing their Sugar Crush body scrub. I was slightly apprehensive about using this as it is a sugar scrub and in previous experience sugar scrubs left me feeling exfoliated but sticky, ewww! But this one was different.

It contains smashed brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains so you can imagine it does give you a proper good exfoliation!

It is quite thick in texture and you need very little, I use it with exfoliating gloves so I really do use a little amount. Also with the sweet lime it smells gorgeous and the smell lasts after you've got out of the bath/shower which I love.

My legs which had been very dry due to me neglecting them and not moisturising were crying out for a good scrub and this left them feeling lovely and smooth. I have already recommended this to several friends and at £9.45 for 450ml it is slightly better value than the other Soap & Glory scrubs.

Has anyone else tried this? Or have I persuaded you to give it a go?

PTD - Challenge 50

At Pear Tree Designs the challenge is a sketch so yo just have to design a card using the sketch below:

I designed this:

I wanted to use soft colours as I normally use brights and I think the greens and lilacs work really well.

The prize is six digi images from Cardmadfairy's Card Creations and all entries to be submitted by Sunday 4pm!

EOTD - L'Oreal and Maybelline

I haven't done one of these before because I'm no good at all these fancy eye shadow techniques, I just apply one colour and then abit of mascara! I should really play around more and get into watching YouTube tutorials!

So here is my first EOTD:

Not very adventurous but I wear this colour all the time. It's great to wear for any occasion.

So what did I use:

Eyeshadow - L'Oreal Real Silver holographic

Eyeliner - Maybelline gel liner

Mascara - L'Oreal waterproof Telescopic in black

Also you may notice from the ginormous photos, yes I agree they are quite scary, I don't wear mascara on my lower lashes, does anyone else just wear it on their top ones like me? I'm not sure why I don't but I don't think I ever have, I suppose it's just one of those things!

Hope you enjoyed this change in post!

The week that was....

What a week I've had! I think you all know this as it's all I've been moaning about on Twitter for the past week but my phone broke :-( Yes my beloved BB gave up. First I thought it was my sim card as it wasn't being recognised, then it started working again, then it broke again, I tried another sim in my phone but that didn't work either but my sim worked in another phone. Confusing? Yes it was, as was the lovely man from Orange who decided to send me a brand new phone.

So on friday I couldn't wait for my new phone to arrive and when it did....it still didn't work. It had the same problem so I decided to get up early on Saturday and go to my local orange shop to see if they could help. They were really helpful and rang up customer services for me and they arranged for a new sim card to be sent out which would be delivered today (sunday) between 1pm and 5pm!

So at 9am I was shocked when the courier was ringing my doorbell with my new sim. Actually I think he was more shocked seeing me with a birds nest in my hair, my manky PJ's and no make up on! But the good thing is that my phone is now in full working order but with a new BB pin so I've had to add everyone again which is a pain!

So apart from that little set back I still have no date to start my new job but I did have a test run driving there on thursday which went quite well, except for my mum and dad shouting at me for making a wrong turn, me shouting back at them and then finally them shouting at each other! Talk about stressful, you have no idea!

So there we have it my quite boring week! Hope you've all had a good one!
