Aromatherapy Associates Renew Rose Massage & Body Oil

Aromatherapy Associates never fail to impress really. The Renew Rose Massage & Body Oil in an award-winning oil and on first use its not hard to see why.

It's a light oil,  made with Evening Primrose Oil, Neroli oil and Rose oil.

I have been using mine as a moisturiser but when using it's easy to see why this is also recommended as a massage oil. Alone this moisturises really well but for an extra luxurious moisturising treat it works exceptionally well over the Rose Renew Hydrating Gel.

Where the Gel is lightly scented the oil is a more heady scent, which I suppose also adds to its usefulness in massage, and in this case the Neroli is evident and as it's one of my favourite scents this oil is perfection.

It leaves my skin feeling amazing. It's perfect for protecting again stretch marks in pregnancy, is highly recommended for those whose skin is exposed to the elements and for dry skin. I'm none of the above but I'm finding in this Winter weather this is really helping and it's such a pleasure to use. It's like a ritual for me now, stepping out of the shower, using the Hydrating Gel and then following with the Oil.

Also am thinking this is a good one for Valentines? It's a real treat and certainly would help to set the mood, wink wink.

100ml in a beautiful glass bottle is £36 and available from the Aromatherapy Associates Boutique & Treatment Rooms, and www.aromatherapyassociates.com.

Chanel Travel Aqualumieres

I bought this recently. Its hard to come by as it's pretty old now. I bought mine on Ebay from a reputable seller, but it goes without saying that Ebay is awash with Chanel fakes so be very careful! It was £29.50.

The palette contains four lipsticks and four glosses and there's a long story as to how I came to buy it. Actually, its not what I thought it was when I bought it, but it turns out I like anyway!

Nothing more to say, just enjoy some pictures :)

 The lipsticks are all satin finish and the glosses although highly pigmented in the swatches, are sheerer on the lips.

OPI/Nicki Minaj - Metallic 4 Life

I'm no Nicki Minaj fan. I am however a huge fan of OPI and this latest collection really catches my eye. The colours are amazing and just look at this promo image.

I find that incredibly inspirational! It makes me want to get out my kit and try to recreate them all. I just think its amazing.

So I was sent one shade from the collection to try out, Metallic 4 Life.

 Its small silver glitter and larger silver glitter in a black base. It is absolutely rammed with glitter which makes it quite gloopy, but that's just how heavily glittered polishes are, it's how it applies that matters and it applies perfectly.

I would say for perfection you need three coats, I noticed one nail was a little sheer after taking the photographs, but I've done two anyway. It's gorgeous. Sparkly and different. Love it!

 Each shade is £11 and available from www.lenawhite.co.uk NOW!

Yes to Carrots C Me Blush Lip Tints

Ooh here's something lovely! Yes to Carrots would very much like it if you could say Yes to kisses this valentines day and to get your lips perfectly kissable they've created the C Me Blush Lip Tints.

There are six shades and I have Ready Red to show you today. The lip tints provide you with a touch of colour and promises to soothe, conditioner and moisturise. 99% certified organic ingredients, no carmine and no parabens, phenols, petroleum or phthalates. It's also highly worth mentioning that each Lip tint contains beeswax sourced from the Tung Teya community in Africa and all proceeds from the sale of their beeswax go back into the community to build schools and improve healthcare. So I think you'll find these are a truly worthy product.

Here are some pictures, hopefully self explanatory!

 This is quite a pigmented product on my lips, but they are designed to work with the natural colour of your lips and my lips are quite pigmented so I suppose that shows. I also find this to be a quite coppery/orangey red, but it's lovely. There's a light mint tingle thing going on and it's definitely soothing. Not sure this product can do any wrong really, even the price is reasonable at £5.99.

The other shades available are Natural Smile (neutral), Cotton Candy (pale pink), Sunset Pink (sheer pink), Coral Sunshine (coral) and Chocolate Kiss (taupe).

These are available from www.victoriahealth.com.
