Nuxe Ultra Nurishing Lip Balm

I got this lip balm from my Feel Unique Christmas calendar and it is definitely my favourite item from it. This is a repairing, nourishing lip balm, with a rich texture aimed at restoring suppleness and comfort to dry chapped lips.

The product comes in a small frosted pot, which has a surprising weight to it. The lip balm itself is yellow in colour and has a lovely scent to it (quite citrus like). The lip balm has a slight grainy texture to it, but when applied to the lips, this disappears. The formula of this product is fantastic, it helps to remove chapped skin and nourish the lips at the same time.  

The lip balm lasts a really long time before feeling the need to reapply it. It is the best lip balm I have ever used. It makes my lips feel so smooth and nourished. And really helps to restore your lips and get rid of dry chapped lips.

It costs £9.50 from Feel Unique and I would definitely purchase this again. I think it will last quite a long time. I've not actually tried any other products from this range before, but now I am really intrigued to!

Have you tried this before? What did you think?

Guest Post: No More Mess Nails

My friend Jenny* came across this product a few weeks ago. I'd never heard of it before but I was intrigued by it, so I asked her to try it out and report back! It's not got an actual name but if you search for 'no more mess nails' in Amazon, you will come across it. It costs just a bit more than £2.

This product is suppose to help you create a perfect manicure, helping to protect your cuticles and fingers from nail polish stains. You apply the product around the edge of your nails and then let it dry and peel off, once you have finished painting your nails. 

The product is meant to smell nice but it smells very similar to glue. And in actual fact is it very similar to pva glue, but has a thicker consistency. It took a while for the product to dry, probably longer than actual nail polish (which isn't cool, if you're wanting to do a quick job). Also, Jenny found it to be quite messy in terms of peeling it off. Because it took so long to dry, it peeled off in bits rather than in one piece. 

I can see the idea of this product but for Jenny it isn't something she would buy again. It does work in helping to protect your nails, but it makes the process so much longer with having to apply the product, paint your nails and then remove the product. So overall not a repurchasing item, and it was decided that cotton buds and nail polish remover is a lot easier!

Nair Shower Power Cream

Hair removal is one of those tasks that I hate, but for me it is a must do on a fairly regular basis. I have used quite a few hair removal creams in the past and I have never really liked them. I find them hard to apply and very time consuming. And also very stinky! I decided to give Nair's Shower Power Cream a try because of its ingredients (Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil and Cocoa Butter) and I liked the idea that it works during showering, helping to cut out the time consuming aspect.

The product contains a spatula inside to apply and remove the cream. The thick formula means that when you apply it to your legs it stays on quite well, rather than slipping off (I have found some formulas can be quite runny) and because of the 'odour control technology' used, it doesn't have that distinct hair removal cream smell. I think it's always going to be hard to apply at the back of your legs and this is the bit for me that takes so long.

The product needs to applied before entering the shower and left on for a couple of minutes. You can then get in the shower (trying to avoid getting your legs wet) and leave it on for a further three minutes. Then using the spatula remove the product. Removing the product took a little effort, but my legs felt very smooth afterwards, so worth the effort!

I will tend to buy hair removal cream for my bikini area because I find shaving makes it too sore (I have quite sensitive skin). After shaving, my hair grows back pretty much the next day, but after using this my hair grew back after a couple of days. On the box it says 'stays smooth up to 7 days' so this wasn't true for me, but I'm not surprised. A good thing is that I found my legs weren't itchy (which sometimes happens after hair removal), I think this is down to the ingredients included helping to moisturise the skin.

From all the hair removal products I have tried this one is definitely my favourite. It doesn't smell, it leaves your skin feeling very smooth and it's great for sensitive skin. I found it wasn't much quicker than others and my hair grew back after a couple of days, but the advantages of this product have made this a re-purchase item for me. I think it's a great hair removal product, that is very gentle and effective.
