Footner Exfoliating Socks

Feet. Now there's a topic I did not think I would be discussing on this blog! Due to the fact that I inherited my mother's incredibly high arches I tend to suffer from unsightly dry skin on the balls and heels of my feet. Coupled with the fact that my feet are very ticklish I find pedicures  often a really uncomfortable experience. Therefore, I was really excited to try out a new product that promised to give me baby soft feet at home with no scrubbing, buffing, cutting or sanding!

The Footner Exfoliating Socks need to be worn for one hour to let the solution on the inside of the socks penetrate the skin onyour feet. After 60 minutes your feet should be rinsed with warm water and that's it! All you have to do is wait patiently for all the dry skin to peel off your feet in the next 5-10 days. And peel it does!!

About 6 days after application the skin on the bottom of my feet and around my toes started peeling in large sections. As I am always honest with you I will not hide the fact that it was a really unpleasant sight. You are not meant to peel the skin itself, but wait for it to drop off to ensure the whole process takes its natural course and your skin is not damaged. Although there was no pain or discomfort I am really impatient and was very tempted to start picking at the skin, especially as I was away on a work trip and felt quite self conscious that my feet were peeling off. Fortunately for you I don't have any photos to show you, but I am sure you can imagine...

It took 5 days for the peeling process to finish and I was really impressed with the results. My feet were left smooth and soft and I would say that about 90% of the hard skin had disappeared. In my opinion it was worth the wait, especially as the whole process was completely painless. Though I would say that if you share a bed with your loved one make sure to wear socks at night not only to protect their eyes from your flaky feet, but to ensure that they do not wake up in the remnants!

Footner Exfoliating Socks can be found here for £19.99 and at half the price of a regular pedicure I will definitely be purchasing them ahead of any special occasions.

Mama Mio Bootcamp for Arms Challenge: Part 2

Over a month ago I wrote about the Mama Mio Bootcamp for Arms Challenge and promised to share my experience of this combined skincare and workout routine with you. Although I tried my best I have to confess that I did much better on the skincare than the work out part, though I doubt that will be a surprise for anyone!

I have really enjoyed using the Body Buff exfoliator and the Skin Tight tightening serum and have  seen a visible improvement in the texture and tone of my skin. My arms feel so much smoother and definitely look better so I am thrilled.

I haven't quite achieved Jennifer Aniston guns yet, but I can see that my arms have gained more definition, which I am really happy with and look forward to carrying on with this regime. The bf always used to tease me about my lack of biceps, but now there actually seems to be a little something there when I flex. Not bad at all for just 4 minutes (most) days!

So what do you guys think? Perhaps the team GB kit is a bit much. Is it too early to apply for Rio 2016? ;p

If you are looking to tone up and get those bingo wings in shape you can check out the Mama Mio Bootcamp for Arms kit here.

Clarins 3 Dot Liner

I have recently discovered the Clarins 3 Dot Liner and couldn't wait to share this innovative product with you all. By far the most tricky technique to master is liquid liner, it took me years of practice to perfect the perfect flick, and some mornings I can assure you it looks far from perfect! The Clarins 3 Dot Liner is amazing for those that are just starting to experiment with liquid liner, those that want the intensity of a liquid, but with a natural subtlety or those that are looking to experiment.

There are so many different ways to use this liner, depending on the look that you want. It can be dotted along the upper lash line to fill in the gaps between lashes for some subtle definition and lash volume enhancement. For a more sculpted finish the dots can be joined to create a solid line and the characteristic liquid liner look.

Alternatively I love to use it on my lower lash line to create a really subtle line of dots that really help to define and open the eye without looking too harsh.

 Liner used to create a solid line on top and dotted along the lower lashline.

The Clarins 3 Dot Liner can be found for £20 here.

Have you ever experimented with a triple pointed liner? What do you think of the idea? How would you use this liner? xxx

LDN: Skins Gradual Tan

This autumn it's all about the porcelain/ pin up tan and I couldn't be happier. With the distinct lack of English sun this summer I am feeling more than my fair share of pale so I am excited to see that the new tan for this season is a lighter shade of bronzed, which is perfectly achievable, even for us mortals.

The LDN: Skins Gradual Tan lotion in Tone 1 (light) is perfect for those of us just looking for a hint of colour to warm up the complexion. One application gives you a really subtle glow, which can be built upon with subsequent layers to gradually develop a deeper tan should you wish to.

The lotion itself has a light guide colour to help application and it sinks into the skin quickly and easily. The light consistency is easy to blend into the skin leaving behind a fresh scent without the traces of the notorious 'fake tan' smell due to its odourless DHA. The process is further simplified as each lotion comes with a handy velvet touch mitt, which is one of the best I have ever tried. It glides across the skin effortlessly and ensures that you tan is even and streak free. For more tips you can check out the video below, filmed backstage at PPQ!

The LDN: Skins Gradual Tanning Lotion is available here from £11.95.
