Veet Suprem Essence

I've always been a boring shaver. Have dabbled with waxes and creams in the past, but always returned to my trusty Gillette Venus razor. I think it's the quickest, and most painless hair removal method, the only downside I can think of is the trauma it causes my skin. I don't suffer too badly with ingrown hairs, however my legs feel pretty dry after shaving and I have to slather on the moisturiser in order to disguise the feeling.

So it was with much intruigue I purchased the Veet Suprem Essence In-Shower hair removal cream.

As you can see you get a 135ml tube of the hair removal cream and a little double sided sponge. It isn't too clear here but the top side of the sponge is white and much rougher than the pink underside. I used the pink side to spread the cream on to the desired location oh hair removal (for me it was legs) left for a minute and got in the shower. I didn't really want to get it wet, but it said to leave it on for only 4-6 minutes so I just decided to stand beside the stream of water and wait.......................................!

6 mins later I took the sponge and began using the rough pink side and the shower hose to rinse my legs clear of the cream, which by the way, did smell pretty nice, especially to begin with, but then I got whiffs of that not so lovely hair removing cream smell, which I guess you get with them all so it was to be expected. Once I'd removed all the cream from my legs, they did feel very smooth. They were however pretty red, I don't know if that was just the cream or a combination of the cream and buffing it off with a rough shower. However, there was no burnt or cracked skin, like I've heard with other hair removing cream horror stories. My legs felt tingly, but in a good way.

Overall, I was really impressed with the product and my silky smooth legs, but I do just find the whole process a bit of a faff. That's why I like shaving. In, out, bang, done! I 'll defo use the rest of this up, I reckon I'll get another 2 uses out of the tube. Whether I'll repurchase depends on the next time it's on offer (hehe).

What's your opinion on hair removal creams? And what are your favourite hair removal methods?

Collective NOTW

I never have a true NOTW as I very rarely wear the same polish for a week. But at the same time, it would be untrue to post a NOTD as I wear it for more than a day, providing there's no major chippage! So, I surmised I would post a series of finger fashion, showing what I wore on my nails over the course of a week.

This week I have been mostly wearing...

This is Rimmel's Grey Matter with a top coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, which I only recently bought. I love how pretty this makes my polish and it's very very sparkly. The only downside is that it takes elbow grease to remove the glitter polish. Worth it though!!

I jumped on the yellow nails bandwagon and purchased Collection 2000's Hot Looks in Lemon Soda, Apologies for the awful glare on the bottle but the colour on my nail is true to life. I'm still undecided about yellow nails. I think they would look great with a tan, but I just felt like I had custard fingers. Maybe one to try again...

Last, but not least, and quite possibly my favourite is Barry M's Berry Ice Cream. I only bought this on Monday and I am definitely in love. It's a gorgeous pastel lilac. It took two coats to appear opaque and it applied like a dream. I only wish it was scented and actually smelled like berry ice cream...yum!

What are your summertime fingertip favourites??

Mini Sally's Haul

Happy Monday :)

Last week I was in Sally's and I picked up a couple of things I thought you might like to see.

The 1st thing is a Cina white nail art pen. I've been after one for a while as I'm really getting in to making my nails very pretty. I have tried it out a few times, mostly just messing about. I am left handed so my right hand always looks pretty but my left hand just looks awful. Can someone let me know how you manage to do your 'other' hand without it looking like you've let a 3 year old loose with it. I will keep practicing though...

The 2nd thing I got was a China Glaze polish in Fairy Dust and OH MY GOD I adore it. This is my first CG polish - and it will not be my last. I just love the way the sparkles shine in the light, there are so many colours of glitter in there. I tried to take some pics of it catching the light, and this was my best effort...

BEAUTIFUL

I'm sure this will be featured in many NOTW posts. I think it's my current obsession.

Have any you guys tried Fairy Dust? What are your China Glaze recommendations? And please let me know how you use your nail art pens.

Clothes Haul - Primark, H&M and Next

So over the weekend I did a spot of shopping. I needed a few bits and pieces that I could wear day to day and also to take on my trip to Krakow, which is less than a fortnight away. So here's my loot...

First off, I got these 2 pairs of shoes. I'd wanted a pair of black brogues for a while now so I picked these ones up in Primark for £8. And these gorgeous gold sandals were only £4.

I also picked up this dress from Primark for only £10. I love the nude colour and I think it will look great for night on holiday.

I got this grey blazer (which for some reason was not focusing great in the 1st pic). I love it because it's really light so great for chilly summers nights and I also adore the cute heart print on the cuffs. I think it looks great over the dress.

Lastly from Primark, I got these earrings. Nope, I don't think 7 pairs of earrings are excessive at all. :) The 5 pack of pearls were only £1 and the flowers were £1.50 for the pair. Steal!

I then headed over to H&M where I got 2 dresses.

It's a little cotton dress that comes to mid thigh. I think it's really cute and I got it to go over leggings, but it would be a great cover up for the pool or beach. I got it in navy as well, and here's a close up of the print...

The last item I got was from Next and it's a really gorgeous floral top/dress - however you'd choose to wear it.

I just adore the mix of bright, summery colours and I think it would look fab with a tan...So come on sunshine, where are you hiding???

I'm Back...With May favourites

Hey guys...remember me?

Well I haven't posted for absolutely ageeees!! I don't know why...I just haven't felt like it. I always told myself that if I didn't feel like posting then I wouldn't. It's no fun for me to have to force a post, and I definitely think its no fun for you guys either...no one wants to read a post that's so obviously forced and it's just not going to be good. So anyways, I didn't post for a couple of months, then the other day I was reading through my blog roll (I still read this regularly) and I decided I really missed blogging, and lo and behold, here I am...with May favs!!

The first thing I've been loving this month is the Lee Stafford poker straight flat iron protection spray. I've used this every day before blow drying to give my hair a bit of heat protection. I love it so much it's almost gone. Oh and the smell is completely divine.

Maybelline the falsies volume express mascara in black. This has been my staple mascara for a while now, it just gives me those fab, fat lashes that make me want to flutter all day.

Barry M nail paint in bright purple has been my go to polish this month. I think its such a pretty colour, but the name does baffle me...it's not bright!!

I picked up the Maybelline gel eyeliner at the end of April and at first I wasn't keen. I am a gel liner novice and at first I just couldn't get the hang of it. But a bit of practice and now I'm a-loving it. Its soo black and really stays put.

This ELF bronzer is actually something I picked up quite a while ago, but as it was winter I found it a bit too shimmery for me. Now, since we have a bit of sunshine (Emphasis on BIT) I have been enjoying this product a lot more, and the lighter colour makes for a great highlighter.

I blogged about my Good Things Stop That Spot clearing gel when I first got it, and since then I've been using it on any blemishes when they decide to rear their ugly head. I don't know how much faster they clear the spot but it definitely feels very cooling and soothing and I very much like it. It also smells really nice.

I won the MAC paint pot in Constructivist on a blog giveaway a few months back, and recently I've been loving it as a base for the colours in my Naked palette. It's also really pretty on its own.

Finally, I have discovered my absolute favourite nail polish remover in Cutex nourishing nail polish remover. It removes polish really quickly, it doesn't have a god awful acidic smell that lingers for hours, and it contains a whitening formula to help stop any nasty staining. A real winner for me!

Have you guys been enjoying any of these products? And what have been your favs for May?
