Scholl Express Pedi

With sunnier and warmer days slowly approaching, it is never too soon to start getting your feet ready for the sandal season with some bright nail polish and of course, a pedicure.

Recently I received the new Scholl Express Pedi, which is an electric device developed for the removal of hard skin at home, helping you achieve professional results in just a few minutes. It has a especially designed rolling surface with the texture of a nail file, but coarser to effectively remove hard skin.

To use simply glide it over the affected areas with even and uniform movements under light to medium pressure to exfoliate your feet and remove hard and dry skin.

Don't be put off by the look of it, because it is very gentle and since the skin on feet is 20 times thicker than anywhere else on the body, it isn't painful at all. It is also completely safe to use, as it does not use any sharp blades and features a safety stop, turning the device off if you happen to apply too much pressure on your skin.

If you are looking for an easy and safe way to get soft and beautiful looking feet at home in just a few minutes, I'd recommend the Scholl Express Pedi.

Scholl Express Pedi* available online in Superdrug and Boots for £39.99

Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover

Last month I purchased Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover because I was looking for a new eye makeup remover that didn't need me to scrub on the delicate eye area. I saw this product on sale on the Superdrug website and decided to buy it when I was in town.

The cleanser consists of two phases: an oil one that claims to remove even waterproof mascara and an aqueous phase that protects and cares for the lashes without leaving an oily residue on your skin.
You have to shake the product to mix both parts so you end up with a light blue solution, then soak a cotton pad with it so you can proceed to remove your eye makeup.

What I normally do is hold the cotton pad soaked with the product against my eyes for a few seconds, then gently wipe towards the outer corner of the eye a couple of times. This is generally enough to remove all of my eye makeup, and when it isn't I'll repeat the previous step until it is all gone. It does leave a slightly oily feeling on the skin but that can be solved with a clean cotton pad and some water .

Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover is a really good product: easy to use, affordable and most importantly, it works! No more waking up with panda eyes anymore ;)

You can find it in Superdrug and Boots from £3.29.

David Bowie Exhibition

  

Last Saturday my husband and I went to see the David Bowie Is exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

With the tickets we got a meal deal for the Hard Rock Cafe, so we had a 2 course meal there before heading to the museum.

The exhibition consisted of lots of Bowie's original outfits, including the light blue suit he wore for the Life on Mars? video and the jacket and trousers pictured above, featured in a live performance of Starman.

There was also handwritten lyrics and sheet music for some of his songs; lots of pictures, projections and short films of him. I even spotted the puppet from his Where Are We Now? video.

Of course I had to get some Bowie paraphernalia at the end of the journey so I selected a few postcards with his picture and the handwritten lyrics for Ziggy Stardust on them, as well as pencils, an eraser, a mirror and a magnet with the picture of my favourite Bowie album: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

I obviously loved the exhibition and absolutely recommend it to any David Bowie fan like me ♥ (FYI my blog's name comes from a Bowie song).

David Bowie Is exhibition from March 23 to 11 August 2013 at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Do you like David Bowie?

New in: March

Shirt: Primark

BaByliss & TRESemme Hair brushes: Boots

Cardigan: H&M

Nivea Eye Makeup Remover & Tinted Moisturiser: Superdrug

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms: Debenhams

Korres Lip Butter: BeautyExpert.com

Mint Top: H&M

Got2B Salt Spray: Superdrug

Really pleased with last month's buys, especially because they were all on special (except for the Korres Lip Butter and the cardigan but I got 20% off with Glamour magazine). I found both hair brushes in the clearance section of Boots and the Tresemme one was £1.75 and the BaByliss one was £2.50 yay!

I have recently been obsessing over lip balms (really need them in this weather) and looking around in Debenhams found a pack of 2 Burt's Bees tinted lip balms for £4.99, which was cheaper than buying individual ones at £5.99 each.

I was also thinking about getting a salt spray to try something different with my hair for summer/spring and I found the got2b one in Superdrug for £2.55.

Going with the "try something different" theme, I was attracted to the idea of wearing something mint coloured for spring and found the sheer lacy top on the H&M sale for £5 which combines two of my favourite things: H&M and sales haha!

Have you gone shopping recently?

Next Haul

Quilted Jacket, Grey Leather Bag

Leather Riding Boots, Grey polka dot jumper

Around Christmas time I entered a competition from Next and ended up being in the top 25 with the most votes. I was so excited when I received an email saying that I had won some items from Next and a subscription to Look magazine.

The pieces I had chosen from the ones available in the competition were no longer obtainable so I was asked to pick 5 new items. This is what I chose, including a reversible leather belt for my husband (not shown).

Originally I had chosen a pair of burgundy trousers but when they arrived I didn't really love the fit of them so I exchanged them in the shop for the grey jumper, which comes with a detachable vest to wear under it.
I have already worn some of my prizes, including the jacket and the boots, which I absolutely love.

Have you shopped in Next lately?
