Beauty | Revlon - Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Beachy Review

I have to admit that the first thing that caught my eye whilst browsing for a summer nail colour was the shape of the bottle. It isn't like your standard nail polish bottle, it is almost like a little perfume bottle. Which swiftly brings me to the unique selling point of Revlons latest nail polish... it is fragranced! Albeit very subtle, each colour has its own fragrance, the colour I chose was Beachy, which smells of holidays. I love the colour as it is a golden bronze which is going to look great in the summer and with a tan. There are 24 colours in the range so there is a lot to choose from, but for what I was looking for, Beachy was the colour I had to go for. The applicator brush isn't the best polish brush I have come across, it is very thin, but it certainly isn't the worst and I managed to do a reasonable job very quickly (don't judge me too much by the pictures!). I really like the idea of a fragranced nail polish too as I am not a fan of the strong smells usually associated with polishes. When applying there is still a chemical type smell but afterwards the fragrance comes through, I am not sure how long it lasts as I have only just applied it. Overall, I think this is a nice edition to my nail polish collection, it may be a bit of a gimmick but the odd one doesn't harm! I am seriously tempted by the China Flower colour too!

Luxe Beauty Life | Sunny Days Sunday

Aaaah give me sunshine! The last couple of weekends have been a glimpse of, hopefully (touch wood, fingers crossed, don't-say-it-out-loud), warmer months to come. In prepation for this warmer weather that (please please please) will be on its way I had a little sundance and started preparing. First thing first, some spring colours on your nails is a great way to get you in the mood and perk you up, I went for Cheeky Chat Me Up Nail Paint in Tongue 'n' Cheek (Click here). Lovely! Then I started on my feet, sandals will be incoming and my feet are not ready to be shown!! So I slathered on some Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream (Click here), it smells delicious, it doesn't leave your feet feeling sticky and warms up nicely whilst you massage it in...walking on a cloud right now! I use an epilator on my legs as I think it gives great results that last longer than shaving, and easier than booking in for a wax, but epilating does come with the down side of ingrown hairs. To combat this I exfoliate regularly and also use SkinDoctors Ingrow Go (Click here) which really helps prevent hair growing underneath the skin by cleaning and purifying pores and exfoliating the skin. The orange lips trend is perfect for a sunny day so I popped on some Revlon Colorburst Laquer Balm in Tease Seductrice. Top it all off with a spritz of Jean Paul Gaultier Summer Edition and now I am ready for some rays! What do you do to get ready for the warmer days?
