.finally....lilac nails.

this is 'berry' by barry m, a new fave for sure! the lilac nail trend is getting a bit old now but ive only just got round to wearing this and i love it, so hopefully no one will think im 'so last week' for sporting this for a while!

.emma hardie skincare.

sorry picture taken on my mac book so all the writing is reversed!

yesterday i worked in the bishopsgate store of space nk and was very pleased to meet one of the facialists/trainers for emma hardie skincare! my good friend miss coward first told me about the range (the kings rd store i'm based in is sooo tiny that we don't have all the brands) and i was interested to try it ever since then. it has no parabens or mineral oil in and is 99.9% natural. the cleanser is anti ageing, softening and purifying and was the main reason i wanted to try the range so i was very excited when i was given a starter kit to try! ive made a video showing you the starter kit and just giving a little introduction to the range which will be up on my youtube channel with in the week so look out for it -

.chantecaille protection naturelle spf 46.

this is CLEVER! its a loose powder, with an spf of 46 (was originally spf 50 but went through the strictest of spf tests and was decided on spf 46 but basically spf 50!)

normal spf's that you apply, wether through moisturiser or foundation don't actually have full uva/uvb protection even though they may state spf 20 or whatever and even if they do then they only last a couple of hours max! so what do you do when you need to top up your sunscreen?? remove all your makeup and start again? noooo!

so clever chantecaille have come up with this powder with brush attached for easy application which you literally just dust on every couple hours to keep you protected and shine free, its is full uva/uvb protection and is as light as anything. it comes in translucent, or a bronzer. the first time you purchase it, it may feel expensive as its £50 but that is with the brush, which is a real hair, very soft brush (their brushes are expensive anyway) and then when the powder runs out you can get refills for around £23 so not bad! especially as you would save money on not having to buy an spf for the face!

i love it and i want one!

you can purchase from space nk or fenwicks.
