Clarins Colour Breeze Spring Collection 2012

Clarins Colour Breeze Spring Collection 2012 will Launch this February and I have quite a few products from the collection to share. Full reviews will be coming soon, but for now I just wanted to share some images of the fantastic products on offer....

It’s like the first signs of spring, a certain poetic grace and a hint of casualness. It’s the sheer lightness of a high-shine lip gloss, exquisitely smooth powders, fresh and truly unique textures; tender yet vibrant shades. It’s a bright, luminous complexion, beautifully enhanced cheek bones, ultra-shiny lips and naturally unsettling eyes.

Today's Nails - Nailene Studio Nails in Red

It's no secret that I love false nails. My own nails are very thin and break easily, which for me is too annoying to put up with, so I choose to wear false nails. I've used Nailene nails in the past but this is the first time trying their coloured nails. I normally just go for the french look, or clear ones which I paint over myself. I have had SO many compliment these past couple of days on my gorgeous red nails though, that I definitely want to try some of the other shades from the range. What is impressive, is that people have actually complimented the colour and have assumed that the nails are in fact my own, which is what I aim to achieve when wearing false nails.

Apparently Ive been told by nail technicians that I have odd shaped nails and sometimes I do actually struggle finding a fit for some of my fingers. I had no problems whatsoever when applying these though, they fit nice and snug and look a lot nicer than my own nails could ever look.

Ive had mine on now for 5 days and they are still going strong. Still looking perfect, with no chips and with actually no sign of coming off. Impressive!!!!

If you fancy trying some for yourself, they're available at boots priced at £4.69

Aromatherapy Associates Miniature Bath & Shower Oil Collection

Im sure Ive mentioned numerous times how I love nothing more than a long hot soak in the bath. Its my time to wind down, relax and have 5 minutes peace and quiet. Aromatherapy Associates are well known for their award winning Bath Oils and I've been eager to give one a try for a long time. The hard part was deciding which one to try though! There is so many to choose from, which is why the Miniature Bath & Shower Oil Collection is just perfect!

The Collection contains 9 3ml miniature bottle of all the oils; Relax, De-stress, Revive and Support.

Although the bottles are small, they contain the perfect amount for one bath. I was actually really surprised, as I didn't think one bottle would be enough but as soon as one is emptied into a running bath, the aroma fills the bathroom and it truly is like having a home spa experience. The strength is of the oils is so powerful. My favourite is definitely the Award winning Deep Relax. Its easy to see why this is an award winner and continues to be a best seller. I've had trouble sleeping lately but after using my miniature bottle, I had the best nights sleep Ive had in Months. The essential oils of Vetiver, Camomile and Sandalwood helps to totally relax the body and mind and do what they say they do and promote a good nights sleep.

The Miniature Collection is the perfect way to try each oil and find out which is your favourite before purchasing a full sized bottle.

You can pick up the collection from Victoria Health priced at £28.50 with free delivery.

Dirty Works Buff Your Stuff Body Scrub and Soak It Up Moisture Spray

I've read a lot of glowing reviews on the Dirty Works range which is sold exclusively at Sainsburys, so Ive been eager to give some of the products a try for quite a while. The brand is obviously aimed at women, with its chic retro packaging and reminds me a lot of Soap and Glory.

Two of the products which have impressed me from the range are the Buff Your Stuff Body Scrub (£3.99) and the Soak It Up Moisture Spray (£4.99).

The body scrub is extremely impressive and everything I look for in a body scrub. I like my body scrubs to be rough, I like to know Im getting a decent exfoliation, I like the sugars to produce a good scrubbing action, I like to feel it getting to work on my skin and this fits the bill perfectly. Its packs one hell of a scrubbing action and the sugars are tightly packed meaning I don't squeeze and end up with nothing but liquid coming out.  Its definitely a winner for me and leaves my skin thoroughly exfoliated, soft and supple after use.

The Soak It Up Moisture Spray is perfect for me as I can be very lazy when it comes to moisturising my body, especially in the morning. I actually use Soap and Glory's Girlingo Moisturising Spray quite a lot, so finding a cheaper alternative has made my day. If you suffer with dry skin, this might not provide enough moisture for you, but if you're skin is normal like mine, then it'll work perfectly at lightly moisturising your skin without any hassle.

Both products are availiable to purchase from Sainsburys Stores Nationwide.

Going from dry to wet with Andrex Washlets and the Andrex Clean Campaign

Well I never thought I'd talk about my toilet habits on here, but there's a first for everything I guess! Fear not though, Im not going into too much detail, that would just be wrong. I am however taking part in the new Andrex  Clean Campaign and going from "dry to wet" with the help of Andrex Washlets.

My beautifully gifted packet of Washlets!

Whats it all about?

Journalist and TV presenter Dawn Porter has teamed up with Andrex and is going around the country on a Clean Campaign. Her mission? To change what we mean by clean. Dawn is on a mission to covert the nation to wet wiping with Andrex Washlets.

“Why are the Brits so embarrassed about toilet behaviour? And why don’t we wipe our bottoms wet, wet cleans better than dry, fact,”

Dawns journey will be captured on film and will form the content for six advertorial mini-episodes that will appear on Channel 4 in January and February 2012. She will also be posting pictures and videos on the campaigns facebook page and encouraging people to get involved and take their own challenge by trying the wipes.

Interested? then head over to the facebook page for more info. LINK

Revlon Grow Luscious Lash Liner

A girl can never have too many black eyeliners eh. Well that's the case for me anyway, as they are forever going missing. Im sure I have a make up ghost, who just likes to steal and hide things to wind me up. So as Ive decided I need more than a few in my little "Eyeliner Holder", the latest one I've purchased is Revlon's Lash Liner. After reading the gorgeous Tali sing its praises and say how amazing it is, I knew It was worthy of a purchase.

One word - amazing! Tali was not wrong to sing its praises, it matches up to my favourite Urban Decay 24/7 Liner and comes in at around £5.00 cheaper! Its soft to use, doesn't pull or tug and It stays put ALL day long,doesn't budge, doesn't smear and even lasts on my waterline. Its perfect.

Definitely give it a whirl if you're after a high street eyeliner that is worthy of every penny.

RRP: £6.29 from Superdrug.
