My Winter Skin Savers - Hand & Cuticle Care

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! Did you watch the soccer World Cup last nigth ? It was such an amazing match !

Things have been a little quiet over here on the blog the last few weeks - I've been down with a cold and school holidays meant being a little bit busier than normal. But luckily schools are starting again tomorrow so then it will be back to normal . Now if only I can get better again ...

The last few weeks my hands have been EXTREMELY dry and my cuticles got extremely dry and painful. Apparently just buying products doesn't help if you don't actually use them. I got a box full of goodies from Justine to review on the blog - just as I ordered the hand scrub and hand cream and decided to put these products to the test. 


Justine Honey Herbal Hand Scrub
I was in the market for a good hand scrub (which I couldn't find anywhere) to pamper my nails a bit when I do them. I decided to pick up this scrub. It smells incredible spa- like and has fine granules to exfoliate dry hands and cuticles and prep it for moisturiser . The granules aren't rough on your skin - which makes this the perfect once / twice a week step in my routine. 

Justine Tissue Cuticle Treatment 
This product has been mentioned in a few nail-care posts HERE and HERE and again with good reason. This cuticle oil really does wonders for dry cuticles. This has been a repurchase a few times in the last few years . It has the classic tissue oil scent but does an amazing job at hydrating. I try to use this oil before bedtime and after I do my nails - but I have really neglected my routine lately with the dry weather and being sick (and using tons and tons of hand sanitisers ) so at night time I do switch it up every few nights with the Justine Tissue Oil Multi-Purpose Balm. 
Justine Tissue Oil Multi Purpose Balm
Now this is some magic unicorn sorcery in this container. I have never used any cuticle product that makes such a huge difference like this container of magic. The Justine Multi Purpose balm isn't just a cuticle balm - you can use it on chapped lips - any dry skin areas but this is a must have product . A little goes a long way but this can make sore , ragged cuticles look so much smoother and almost normal within a day . I'm seriously impressed and can't recommend this product enough.  
Justine Tissue Oil Nourishing Hand and Nail Cream
This was a freebie with some other tissue oil products I ordered and I'm really impressed. This hand cream absorbs really quickly into the skin but leaves it feeling hydrated and looking and feeling moisturised. I prefer to keep this tube next to my bed and use it at night before I get into bed - as I'm using the Tissue Oil cuticle treatment too and I feel they go together extremely well. 
Justine Honey Herbal Hand Treatment Cream First of all - I love hand creams that has a pump bottle. It makes it so much easier to use on my way out the door in the morning - I can just pump some into my hands and massage it in as I walk out the door. I really love how hydrating the Honey Herbal Treatment Cream is - I feel it's a little more hydrating than the Tissue Oil version too. This doesn't absorb as quickly as the Tissue oil one - but I find this is perfect after I just did my nails before taking photos to post on social media and in the morning as I'm on my way to work / dropping of Alex at school were I know I won't be touching papers etc as this is a little greasier and absorbs a bit slower.  I do feel of the two this is the better one if you have extremely dry hands and cuticles. The do have smaller versions of tubes too - if you prefer an easy to throw into your handbag version.

These are all products that really saved my hands and cuticles in the last two weeks .

Have you tried any of these products before ??

Hi guys ! Can't believe its Friday already ! First off, happy birthday to my brother, hope you have a fantastic birthday today ♥ So Tip Top's facebook page, has been running weekly nail art theme competitions. This week's theme is FARM ANIMALS. Well, usually I don't enter these nail art competitions, but since my little man loves farm animals , I decided to give it a go . :) (I also bummed some of his farm animal toys and books as decoration... Hee hee hee ) The rules are you have to use Tip Top colours... So first off let me mention all the colours I used creating these cute farm animals : French Manicure White, Cream Puff, Peach Crisp, Sherbet Angel, Melting Marshmallow, Lemon Fuel, Black Forest , Twilight and Sexy Bikini ♥ So here follows all the cute pics (sorry this post is a little picture heavy ...)   A cow, a piggy, a cow, a duck and a sheep ♥ I just LOVE these cute farm animals don't you ?? My favourite of

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
