Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser

So I have been rambling on about my 3 for 2 goodies I recently got in Boots. My first was an Essie Nail Polish which you can check out here and the other was Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Lotion which you can check out here. As I stated in the last 2 posts I wasn't going to do a haul post for you but I will do a review instead on each product. And today is my 3rd aka my freebie.

So for my freebie I decided to go for something that's been calling my name to try out for the past few months and its the Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser, sounds crazy doesn't it a body moisture you apply while still in the shower? What madness? There is various different types you can choose from so I went for Cocoa Butter as I have a bit of a thing for that smell right now. Basically while in the shower after you have washed with your choice of body wash (Soap & Glory) while skins still wet you apply this genius product all over and then simply rinse off. Making it super handy if your in a bit of a rush in the mornings and don't really have the time to apply your normal body lotion as lets be honest sometimes it can take up a bit of our time, I know I take my time applying mine. Well with this product after you have rinsed it all off you can then simply dry off and get dressed with your skin feeling all super silky soft without having any stickiness. The smell of this product is just lovely, as I said I have a bit of a thing right now for Cocoa Butter, the packaging is nice and simple you can just squeeze out the right amount of lotion you need and your skin is left feeling lovely and soft. The only warning that I will mention about this product is that this product can leave your bath or shower a bit slippy. I myself haven't had any problem with that, it is mentioned on the bottle to just be a bit careful. I love using this product and I would recommend, its quick and easy and smells gooood.

Have you guys tried out this product? What was your thoughts on it?

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star

So as you may have or may not have noticed I recently posted that I moved house with my boyfriend, before my last post I mentioned Boots had a wonderful offer on the 3 for 2, I am going to continue the review on the products I purchased and this post will all be about the second item I got.The first item I have reviewed was Essie nail polish in Tart Deco you can read the review here.

My second item had to be a Soap & Glory product! Whenever 3 for 2 offers are on at Boots you are mad to not take up that opportunity and buy yourself something from the Soap & Glory range. So when I went to my local Boots range I couldn't decide what item to get. Thanks to Christmas I have about 6 little bottles of shower gel, 4 tubes of hand cream and about 5 little pots of body butter. Seen as how winter is slowly going and Spring/Summer is on its way I figured I should take care more of my body and moisturise it every morning after my shower. That in mind I decided on getting a body lotion I don't want something that's thick like the butters I wanted something that's not too thick and soaks in to the skin pretty quick so I can then just put on my clothes for the day. What appealed to me about Smoothie Star first was that it was in a pump bottle which I find a lot handier than squeezing it out of tubes, second of course was the packaging the pink and girlyness that is Soap & Glory and lastly the description of the product being a deep moisture body milk with Almond, Cocoa, Yogurt, Oat & Honey!! I know what your thinking.....OMG!! The scent of this stuff is amazeballs, now I'm normally not a fan of anything that smells edible but my gosh this stuff is just heaven and what it does to your skin wow my skin has never been as silky and soft, the past week I have been using this everyday and my goodness. The consistency of the product is what you would normally expect from any other body lotion, not too thick, easy to apply and soaks in pretty fast without leaving you with a sort of sticky feeling. Its in a massive 500ml bottle so its gonna last you a long time! I will say if you aren't a fan of your lotions and potions smelling like something you just want to eat I wouldn't recommend it for you as the scent is rather strong and it does linger which is a bonus for us lovers that want to smell edible but a down side to those that don't, sorry! Other than that I thoroughly  recommend this stuff. 5 out of 5 from me!

Im Back!!

Hi Guys

That's right I am back and my gosh have I missed you beautiful bunch!! So on my regular Check In Tuesdays I mentioned how the boyfriend and I had been looking for somewhere new to live as our flat was freeeezing (even with the heating on). We found a lovely house available to rent and over the weekend we moved in. I did put up on my twitter account that I wasn't going to blog until I had moved home and was getting all settled in. Yesterday our internet went live woooo so that's us up and running again. Its so good being able to get back into the blog as I have missed it. I have missed blogging, reading blogs and watching youtubers. I have a lot of catching up to do, luckily I have this week off work so I have plenty of time to catch up.

Winston our cat is starting to feel more at home and settled as the days have gone on. He loves running up and down the stairs and carries his little teddy into rooms that we are in. Having no internet the past few days has actually been really good, I have had a good few pamper days as I had been pretty lazy with my skin routine what with the big move coming up. So I have had face masks, hair masks, scrubbed the skin and painted my nails. Poor nails took a right bashing unpacking and cleaning they were looking so bad, they are looking a lot more healthier now with a splash of colour on them.

I don't know if you remember but in the new year I set myself some new goals and one was reading more, but what I wanted to read in particular was the Harry Potter books. Well for part of my birthday Gordee bought me the first 3 books and said once I finish these he will get me the others. So I have already finished the first book and I'm loving them. I only ever read the first and second one and that was back in school when they first came out which was a very long time ago now so I cant really remember much about them. I'm now onto the second one The Chamber of Secrets. Im trying not to read them too quickly cause I feel I wont take it all in as much if I speed read. I just read the first one pretty quick due to lack of internet.

This post is just a little check in with you guys and see how you all are and if I have missed anything exciting going on. I also took a few snaps of the new home I thought I would show you guys.

Essie Nail Polish Tart Deco

 

So Boots 3 for 2 offer is making quite the dent in a lot of bloggers bank account right now and I am loving seeing all the haul posts on what everyone has treated themselves too. I have been pretty good and only treated myself to a few new items to try. So instead of doing a haul on all the items I am going to test out the products first and then do a review on each item.

 

First up had to be a new Essie polish and I was torn between all their shades, now I am a sucker for a Coral shade and with the thought of Spring/Summer coming I had thought a lovely Coral shade would be perfect! Not only is it a lovely warm bright colourful shade it goes with most skin shades from rather fair skin to beautiful tanned skin (perfect for summer if we get the sun this year). I don't own an Essie polish in Coral so I had my mind set on what I wanted which cut my decision time in half, honestly guys I don't know about you but I am at the Essie stand for aaaaages trying to decide. Tart Deco is the one that stood out most for me as I was looking for one not too light I wanted one that packed a bit of a punch on the bright coral side and this does not let me down. In certain lights its a lovely light coral shade and then in others its this bright deep orange coral shade, its just so lovely!! I even managed to keep this on the nails for just about 4 days before noticing any massive chips which is pretty good for me. So this defiantly gets a thumbs up from me.

 

Essie Tart Deco £7.99

 

 

 

Have you guys been treating yourself to any new nail polishes? any new shades for Spring/Summer? Leave me a comment below I would love to see what you got

 

That's all from me I hope you are all well :)
