I'm sure you are all a little bored of me raving about Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, but I won't stop just yet. I first discovered it at the age of 12 when it was given to me in a London fashion week goodie bag and from that day I was hooked.
Countless tubes later and I am now sitting in bed having just put some on my lips and cuticles. I have never got used to the smell, let's not pretend that it's nice, but for the effects it is definitely worth it. I use it daily for any skin concerns- chapped lips, irritation, dry patches, rashes, burns, cuts.. you name it and this ointment will help!
Luckily, I have just found a website that is selling EA-8C (sounds a little like a food additive if I abbreviate it doesn't it?) for the fantabulous price of £9.95 (RRP £23) for the 50ml tube. Even with every day use this lasts me about 6 months!
You can find it on the cheapsmells.com (awful name, great website) here. They also have a great range of discounted perfumes and cosmetics! Happy shopping!
Oh and no I'm not sponsored by them, but yes I kind of wish I was ;) xxx

Skin & Bare It
You may remember that a little while ago I reviewed some moisturising lotions by Jergens Naturals, a brand not very much known in the UK, but a household name in the US. If you missed it you can read all about it here.
They have now launched a new online show that puts the nation's skincare regime to the test. The main focus of the videos is how well a skin care regimen works for you and what would happen if you swapped your routine for someone else. Is 'natural' (I don't like that term as everything in essence is natural, what I really mean is organic) always better and does it really make that much difference? I'm not sure as yet, let's watch and find out!
For further information head to www.jergens.co.uk/skinandbareit.asp
Hmmm.. I'm not completely convinced yet, but I am definitely starting to lean towards organic products, though I wouldn't go as far as making my own oatmeal scrub as yet...
What are your thoughts on 'natural' (organic) skincare? I would love to know some of your recommendations of your must-have body care products! xxx

Freebie Alert!
We all love a freebie :). I know I am a sucker for a good one and have picked up many a magazine for a free tube of gloss or mascara! I was therefore very excited when this dropped into my inbox today!
InStyle have teamed up with Nails Inc. to create three exclusive summer shades for their readers, which they shall be including free with their June issue.
The colours include some of my favourites for this season and are absolutely stunning.
I would recommend getting to your local magazine stand early as the most popular shades sell out very quickly (from bitter experience of trawling through the racks at WHSmith).
For more information about the inspiration for the colours check out the InStyle website here.
Which is your favourite and what shades have inspired you this spring? xxx

InStyle Beach is a bright red coral perfect for summer.
InStyle Mink is the notorious greige we have all been coveting, and as far as I can tell from the promo pics it looks like one that even my pale fingers can pull off without looking murky as it is quite pink based.
InStyle Candy (which to me implies pink no?) is a soft, but bright lilac, which is perfectly on trend, and the sort of lilac that I adore as it is fun, but still wearable.
Nail Inc. polishes retail at £10.50, so if you are still not convinced that you are getting a good deal they have also thrown in an offer giving readers 20% off all Nails Inc. online shopping purchases as well as 20% off manicures and pedicures. Would it be too greedy of me to buy all 3? ahem...I would recommend getting to your local magazine stand early as the most popular shades sell out very quickly (from bitter experience of trawling through the racks at WHSmith).
