Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection

When it comes to wearing false nails, Elegant Touch is one of the brands who always spring first into my mind and they are a brand I have used for years, long before I turned to blogging. What I love about Elegant Touch is that as well as being really affordable, they have every kind of pattern, colour, shape and type of nails you can think of and better still, they have some amazing seasonal nails too.

I been kindly gifted a selection of nails from the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection, they are all really wearable, they feature glitter and as well as being really easy to apply, they are priced at just £6.50* each.

The first set of Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glow Getter Nails are called Glow Getter and I was immediately drawn to these because of their squoval shape (squared oval), the shape I always have my nails filed to whenever I have a manicure. 

With their light pink, pastel shade which features a really pretty iridescent glitter accent nail, as I've shown above, they are perfect for everyday wear and suitable for any occasion, plus they are said to last for up to 10 days of wear.

Next we have the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Rosé All Day Nails, and they have an almond shape to them in the another shade of pastel pink the difference between these nails and the set above is that every nail has a gradient glitter effect over the tip.

Again, designed to last for up to 10 days, these nails also need to be applied using the adhesive glue which can be found within the pack of nails.

The final set from the Elegant Touch Luxe Looks Glitter False Nails Collection that I have, are the Prosecco Poppin’ Nails.

These nails once again take on that squoval shape, like Glow Getter above and they are a really pretty light shade of Mauve and are described as having a duochrome gold glitter effect which is perfect for creating that accent nail. 

All three sets of these nails are described as being 'Ping Proof' and they come in 12 sizes with the nail glue that you need for the application, as well as a set of really easy to follow instructions, perfect if you have never used false nails before.

You can find Elegant Touch nails on sale in Superdrug, Feelunique and Lookfantastic and via their own website here.

Aroma Active Laboratories Muscle Recovery Soak

If there is a brand which currently has my full attention, it is Aroma Active Laboratories. Having featured products such as the SOS forehead balm just a few weeks ago, today I am back with the Muscle Recovery Soak.

I love my weekly soaks in the bath, my ‘me time’ which gives me at least a whole hour to myself as I switch off and think of very little, except whatever it might be on the book I am reading. 

The Aroma Active Laboratories Muscle Recovery Soak comes packaged inside a subtle navy blue apothecary-style bottle which looks incredibly luxurious sitting on your bathroom shelf. As with all of the products I have been using within the range, this one has a job to do and for most of it, it will be something we need once in a while.

As the product name states, it is designed to revive a tired achey body that’s overdone itself with the home workout, the extra long walks with our new found freedom or even those hours spent decorating, building flat pack furniture or re-arranging furniture. 

Using a blend of anti-inflammatory ingredients such as:

• turmeric which is said to be useful in preventing and relieving inflammatory and other types of pain.
• rosemary which is known for its ability to help to reduce swelling and puffiness of the skin. Lavender for its soothing and easing effects. marjoram relaxes muscle spasms and tension. It's known for its ability to ease pain and inflammation.
• cinnamon which is known to boost the circulation and aid muscle relaxation, which will help prevent muscle pain. Cinnamon is also and effective anti-inflammatory, helping to ease aching muscles
• ginger to ease discomfort and tension. 
• Arnica’s in there too for its healing properties.

Putting all of these ingredients into one product makes quite the relaxing milky bath and one which does wonders for aching backs and thighs from all those issues mentioned above.

To use, the advice is to pour generously into warm running water and then once in the water inhale the comforting aromas as you soak. A wonderful product which fills the entire house with the most relaxing of fragrances and it is on sale right now, exclusive to Boots for just £15 for 250ml, or you can purchase this soak as part of a bundle which I shared last week as a gift for Father's Day!

Caudalie Vinosculpt Lift & Firm Body Cream

Caudalie have some pretty amazing products, their Vinopure Clear Skin Purifying Toner is one of my most re-purchased products. The latest addition to their collection is the Vinosculpt Lift and Firm Body Cream*.

 We all know that dehydrated skin leads to a loss of elasticity, which in turn causes the skin to slacken and that often leads to dimples and cellulite, so this cream, which uses that antioxidant-rich grape seed oil to firm and protect, the toning powers of iris extract to smooth dimples, lumps and bumps and with it comes organic Shea butter, to help the skin retain moisture, an essential element for maintaining skin elasticity and keeping it soft and hydrated. Caudalie boast that this cream is designed to work simultaneously on 4 key areas of the body: arms, chest, stomach and buttocks for firmer skin from the first month of use. So quite the claim from Caudalie with this one!

The cream itself has this incredibly luxurious whipped texture which glides onto the skin and absorbs really quickly, all without leaving behind any trace of greasiness on the skin. Once on the skin, there is a delightful scent of Orange Blossom which lingers and is a scent that should definitely be made into a body spray or even a fragrance because it is delightful without being over-powering.

This cream, it is advised, should be applied every morning and evening to clean and dry skin, to the arms, chest, legs and bum massaging it onto the skin in circular motions until it is fully absorbed.

So for a whole month, this is exactly what I did and whilst I can't say I have noticed any difference in the firmness of my skin, what has changed is the smoothness of my skin, particularly on the top of my thighs and across my chest. As this is a 250ml tub of cream, I still have just over half left, which I will continue to use to see if there are changes to to the firmness of my skin and I will update if there is.

Priced at £27, you can find the Caudalie Vinosculpt Lift & Firm Body Cream right here*
