Boots No 7 Christmas Collection

We were lucky enough to be invited to a sneak preview of the Boots No 7 Christmas collection. It seemed slightly wrong to be getting into the festive spirit in July but that changed as soon as I saw the collection.

From subtle shimmers to bold highlighting, there is a a look to suit everyone. The new Boots No 7 Christmas collection proves that Christmas doesn’t have to be all about excess as they treat us to products that add elegant and subtle touches of colour and sparkle.

Our particular favourites were the Mirror Ball Highlight Compact, a stunning highlighter powder. Add a dusting to accentuate your cheekbones with an iridescent gleam. Or for a slightly more dramatic party makeover try the liquid Stay Perfect Eyeliners in striking shades of Purple, Gunmetal and Blue. Sexy, sophisticated flashes of shine – which stay put all night long.

The new Boots No 7 Christmas collection will be in store and available online from 3rd December ready of the festive season.

Beautifully Delicious Honey and Almond Scrub

Body Scrub Review

This product is best for: high street shopping, normal skin, self tanning,

Price: Bargain!

I have been using quite a bit of fake tan lately and so needed to find a good body scrub as part of my fake tanning prep! It’s not easy being gorgeous hey?

I tried the new Honey and Almond Body Scrub from Beautifully Delicious. The bottle says it’s almost good enough to eat...and they aren’t lying. It has a beautifully sweet honey aroma, which isn’t too sickly, and the scrub was full to the brim with fine pieces of walnut shell allowing me to exfoliate any dry skin.

I have been using this once a week and my skin feels flawlessly smooth, moisturised...and smells absolutely great (until I apply the fake tan...!)

The Beautifully Delicious scrubs are also available in Papaya & Mango and Coconut & Shea and priced between £3.98 and £4.99. You can purchase these directly from Beautifully Delicious or from Boots.
