NAF! Stuff: Remove Your Gel Nails SAFELY At Home Kit

I haven't been able to see my local nail technician for over a year now and I know she will be horrified when she does finally get to see the state my nails are in!  Across my social media feed over the last week, I have seen so many people asking how they can safely remove their gel nails, which once looked perfect and now, not so perfect.  Not being able to get to your favourite Nail Tech doesn’t mean you have to neglect your hands and nails! In fact right now, it is the perfect time to ensure you give them all as much TLC as you can - starting with the removal of those pre-christmas nails.
- 10 Removals Per Pack  - 3.5ml Mint & Eucalyptus Cuticle Oil  - 100ml Peppermint Acetone  - Cuticle Pusher  - White Buffing Block  - 100 Foil Wraps  - A Step By Step Guide
NAF! Stuff, a brand I was recently introduced to has everything you need to take care of those nails with their SOS Soak Off Savior Kits.  This Gel Polish Remover Kit has absolutely everything you need to remove your nails not just once, but as many as 10 times. Inside the kit you are given everything you need to ensure the easy removal and those items are:

Contents

  • 10 Removals Per Pack 
  • 3.5ml Mint & Eucalyptus Cuticle Oil
  • 100ml Peppermint Acetone 
  • Cuticle Pusher
  • White Buffing Block
  • 100 Foil Wraps 
  • A Step By Step Guide
All of the products from NAF! Stuff are developed by Nail Technicians, so not only can you be sure that you have Salon Quality tools but also the products to do the job right.
 
Tammy Koslowski, founder of NAF! Stuff and owner of NAF! Salon says: 
“I absolutely love our SOS Soak Off Savior Kit, it’s so handy to have in the house and I often reach for it when I can’t make it into the salon because the Foil Wraps already have soak off pads applied which makes removals quicker and easier! When we were putting it together it was really important for us to use the same products that we would use at NAF! Salon and I just love that that the Salon Grade Acetone has a Peppermint scent too. But my favourite part? The cuticle oil obviously!” 
This Gel Polish Removal Kit makes it super easy to remove your gel polish at home and it is priced at just £22 here.

LATEST IN BEAUTY X FABULOUS ‘WHAT’S HOT 2021’

Latest In Beauty is starting 2021 with the Fabulous ‘What’s Hot 2021’ box. It is said to be worth £128 and inside the box are 13 products which cover skincare, body care, hair care and of course makeup.
LATEST IN BEAUTY X FABULOUS ‘WHAT’S HOT 2021’
Priced at just £32*, with 15% off if you are a LiB Pro, this box is described as bringing hot new topics; from new industry names and the most innovative formulas, to key ingredients, cult classics and mindful brands. 
We're seeing a shift in what people are expecting from their products, so we're delivering on the things you're really passionate about with this carefully curated edit. Teaming up with Fabulous, we've sourced some of the best formulas and tools that tick those boxes and will be on your radar this year.
It is incredible value for money at £32 for a box which contains 13 products and I am really happy to see the likes of L'Occitane featured with one of my favourite hand creams as well as the recently launch Garnier Shampoo Bar, which I am hoping to try. For me, this box has a little bit of everything and if you want to know what the rest of the contents are, then they are: 

CONTENTS

  • DR BOTANICALS Moroccan Rose Superfood Facial Oil 30ml - Full Size
  • E.L.F COSMETICS Holy Hydration! Face Cream 50g - Full Size

  • BATISTE Blush Floral & Flirty 200ml - Full Size
  • THE HAIR LAB BY MARK HILL Working Styling Spray 200ml - Full Size
As you can see, 11 of the 13 products are full size and  of the two that are not, they are a decent deluxe size, giving you enough of that product to get a decent feel for whether or not you like it.

This box has just launched with Latest in Beauty and if you are ready to try some much loved products from brands such as L'Occitane and Boots as well as some new and interesting products such as the Shampoo Bar from Garnier, then this is one to consider.

Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021

Restoration is the theme for the January LookFantastic Beauty Box and their focus for 2021 is to spread self-love. The hope is that from this months box, right through to December you will feel confident, uplifted and take those much-needed moments of escape and stress of daily life.
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
This months box, which is a beautiful purple colour, features 6 products across skincare and makeup, some are brands you will recognise and some will be ones you might not be too familiar with.

First out of my box from Starskin is the Hollywood Hand Model Hand Mask Gloves. Described as being a hand mask design to hydrate dry hands and cuticles, this product draws on an innovative double layer technology that produces a sauna affect to help repair condition and suffering even the roughest of hands. 
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
The gloves are infused with softening Shea Butter alongside a blend of 16 Botanical Extracts and Oils which coat the hands with a powerful serum l, helping to increase hydration and visible suppleness. There is also a unique blend of Goji Berry, Macadamia Nut and Olive Oil which work together to deeply nourish whilst Liquorice and Peony Roots are included to visibly heal and brighten the hands. 

The second product comes from SVR with the Intense Moisturising Cream and it has been designed specifically for dry and sensitive skin.
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
Fortified with Physiological Sugars and 60% Physio-Adapted Water, the formula, which is really lightweight, absorbs quickly to lock in moisture to deliver an immediate, intense and continuous blast of hydration.all of this without being overly greasy ticks a lot of boxes.

Up next is Grow Gorgeous with their Balance Shine enhancing overnight mask which is designed to nourish the hair from root to top.
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
Designed to work overnight, this mask deeply conditions, enhancing your hair’s natural shine, leaving your hair soft and frizz-free, but that’s not all! Thanks to an impressive list of ingredients, as well as working your hair, it also targets the scalp. You’ll find the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid which smooths and moisturises the hair to give it a shiny finish, Tung Wood which works to fight frizz whilst also targeting heat damage and then we have blended Green Tea Extract and Fruit Acid whose job is to nourish hair from the inside out, smoothing the cuticles which in turn works to enhance your hair’s natural gloss and shine. 

Moving onto makeup and the first product within this box comes from So Eco with their Complexion Sponge.
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
Designed to give that flawless makeup up, this sponge is said to be suitable for use with cream and liquid products. Crafted from latex-based foam, this sponge has a specially shaped design for seamless blending plus a pointed tip for hard-to-reach crevices.

From Sleek we have the Matte Me Liquid Lipstick which is described as being an Ultra Smooth Matte Lip Cream and within the box will be one of four shades. I have the shade French Fancy.
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
French Fancy is a beautiful shade of pink, it isn't bright Barbie Pink, but is most definitely a pink. Lightweight on the lips, it has an intense pigment which as well as giving a matte finish, is a comfortable finish and doesn’t leave your lips feeling as though they might crack if you move them.

Finally within this months box is the dr Botanicals with the Avocado and Cucumber Cleansing Bar (some boxes have the Verso eye cream as an alternative product).
Lookfantastic Restoration Edit January 2021
This is the product that you catch a whiff of as soon as you remove the lid from the box and it’s delightful. Described as being a gentle, antibacterial cleansing soap, it’s job is to cleanse and purify both the face and body. It is infused with calming ingredients such as avocado and cucumber, hence the name to soften and nourish the skin and it foams into a lather pretty well when it comes into contact with warm water.

This months box is quite the mix, not one I feel quite fits with the theme. Restoration for me, within the beauty term means to strip it back and start again - masks for the face, hands, hair and body as well as products to help you relax, unwind and just take time to be yourself. That said, the products are absolutely lovely.

Lookfantastic is, as I am sure you will know a monthly beauty box subscription service which costs as little as £15 per month here* and every month the claim is that you are guaranteed to receive a box of products worth at least £50.

ASOS Vegan Box January 2021

With January being Veganuary month, the time of year when we are all meant to sign up to and commit to trying the Vegan way of life for one month. So, it is unsurprising to see a brand finally put together a box of products which are entirely Vegan - ASOS have done just that, with this box.
ASOS Vegan Box January 2021
The ASOS Vegan Beauty Box features five products and, in keeping with the rest of the boxes ASOS have to offer, it is just £12* and at this price, is said to give a saving of 75%.

Contents 

  • 1 x Miss Patisserie Matcha Bath Ball
  • 1 x Love Beauty And Planet Shea Velvet Body Lotion
  • 1 x Aveda Shampure Hand And Body Wash: 50ml
  • 1 x We Are Paradoxx Hangover Hair Elixir: 15ml
  • 1 x bareMinerals Mineral Veil
Within this box you get a really good mixture of brands and their products with everything from hair and body care to makeup and all for just £12.

As with all ASOS boxes, they tend to sell out really quickly and it is very rare that they boxes come back into stock once they are sold out.

You can find the ASOS Vegan box right here*.
