10 ways to use Baby Oil

Now this may seem as a rather odd post

but I thought I'd shed some light on the many uses of Baby Oil.

I've been using it for years and I think it's such a great 

product that can be used in many ways, some 

you wouldn't expect!

So here we go...

1. Eye Makeup Remover

This one is probably obvious but it works. Personally I prefer

to use Makeup wipes only for it's convenience but Baby oil works fine

if not better. Just dab some onto a cotton wool pad or tissue

and wipe away.

2. Shaving

I think this works miracles for anyone who has dry skin like Moi.

Use the oil instead of shaving gel and your skin will feel so smooth

and look healthy too! 

3. Removes Plasters

I don't know about you, but I find nothing more

terrifying than having to get a plaster off. Especially

those really stubborn hospital plasters! Whether you slowly

scrape it off or just plain rip it off,it hurts A LOT!

But using baby oil while removing it can make 

it a less painful experience.

4. Bath Time

Baby Oil is brilliant to use while having a bath.

Just pour some in while it's running and let your skin soak

up all the moisture! 

(Be careful when getting out though,Oil can be slippery!)

5. Cracked Heels

If you have cracked heels or quite rough skin on

your feet just rub some exfoliator over them,

then put some Oil on and they'll feel a lot softer.

6. Waxing

The oil can help to remove any residue you

may have left on your skin from waxing.

7. Makeup Brushes

You can use the oil to wash your makeup brushes

 as it's gentle it won't ruin them. 

Just pour some warm water into a bowl, add some

of the oil and leave your brushes in there to soak.

8. A Good Nights Sleep

If you struggle with sleeping you could try

adding some Lavender Sprigs to the oil,then put a few drops

onto your pillow or a tissue and tuck it under your pillow.

9. Zip It

Baby oil can be good for stuck zips. Just run some

along the tracks of a zip and job done!

10. Stuck Rings

Lets hope this one never happens but should

you ever get a ring stuck on your finger just 

rub a little bit of oil on your finger and it 

will get the ring off without hurting you.

So that is the end of my bizarre post.

Leave a comment if you have tried any of these

or have another idea :)

Christening Plans!

Well it's finally time to start 

planning Baby Buzz's Christening!

I am so excited! She'll be wearing the dress I wore

for my Christening and that dress my mum made

from her wedding veil, which was my Great Nans!

(Phew, bit of a mouthful!) 

So it'll be a really special moment to see her wearing it!

First I've got to go see different Churches and decide

which one to go with, then sort out the invitations, 

the decorations and the cake!

I'm thinking white with really pale 

pastel pink and mint colours.

What do you think?

I'm going to look at some Churches after

getting my hair done tomorrow so wish

me luck guys :)

Christmas Presents I'm loving

Hi Guys!

It's been a while since I last Blogged but I've been SO busy

over the X-mas period especially with the little one and what not.

I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and enjoyed whatever it

was that you participated in :)

So on we go...

I thought I'd share some of the presents I am loving 
that I was given for Christmas. 

(My intention of this is not to "rub it in" or "boast" about these things I just 

purely would like to share them so that you may try them out yourself or

let me know what you think of them if you already have them)

So I thought I'd start with my eyeshadow palette by 'Sleek'.

They do all different kinds of colours & sets but I needed a simple,

natural earthy kind of palette and this one is perfect!

This is the packaging which I think looks quite smart and...well

sleek haha

This is the name of the palette; 'Au Naturel 601'.

And this of course is the palette,which is gorgeous! 

Here's a closer look.

I love 'Sleek' products they always are nicely presented, good quality products,

nice ranges and most importantly, they are affordable! 

Here is their website which I recommend you check out if you haven't already.

Next is a 'Soap&Glory' set.

Ohhh do I love Soap&Glory. I'm very obsessed with smelly things 

and bathe things,so this is a little slice of heaven for me.

This is called 'Butter yourself' and it is a moisturiser which smells sooo

yummy I always want to lick it...but then remember that's

probably not a good idea...

Anyway, it has notes of frozen yuzu, orange oil, green fig and 

jungle pomelo essence. So you can get an idea of how this would smell!

(For best results use this after using a scrub and when your skin 

is still a bit damp)

This is called 'Foam Call' and this is a dual shower & bath

body wash with peppermint essential oils, grapeseed EFAs, 

fruitilquid fig and orange waterjuice. 

Again this smells delish and is very handy that you can use

it in the bath or shower.

And my favourite of the 3 is 'Flake away' which is a

fruity exfoliator to use all over your body.

(I apologise for the massive finger dips but I just grab hand fulls

of it when using it)

This is a very grainy exfoliator which sounds obvious but some

exfoliators just aren't very grainy and don't remove all the dead skin

cells as it's quite soft so this is very good for that. 

It's quite waxy as well so it feels very moisturizing as you're using it.

I especially love using this before I put fake tan on as you don't

want rough patches.

So use the exfoliator first, then the shower/bath wash

and then the moisturizer and your skin will

look and feel amazing!

This is a fake tan mousse by 'Laurens Way' in shade 

'Darker than dark'.

Now in all honesty I wasn't sure whether to ask for this

shade or a lighter one but I'm glad I picked this one

as usually I'll try out a tan and it takes ages to develop and

when it does it isn't as brown as you hoped and it can be quite patchy 

and flake away quite easily.

This i just use the once and it comes out a really nice deep 

brown and it stays brown for quite a while and so far it hasn't 

gone all flaky after a few showers. 

It also glides on really easily and leaves my skin feeling smooth.

However like any fake tan I'd advise you to exfoliate first 

to avoid any patchy bits on your elbows,knees,ankles and hands.

Next is the 'Dior' blush set in number 849.

This colour is so beautiful I recommend it for everyone as

it's such a soft shade and it's warm without being too orange or pink.

I always struggle with blushers as pink undertones do not suit 

me at all but then too peachy doesn't suit me either so this

is perfect for me. No wonder it's their most popular colour!

The packaging is also lovely and compact with a handy little mirror

and a brush that is so good to apply with. 

I would do a swatch to show the colour but it is really delicate

and wouldn't show up brilliantly on camera.

It's one of those less is more products.

And last but not least is a concealer by the 'Fit Me' range

by 'Maybelline'. 

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It helps

cover my dark circles really well and just gives you a nice

fresh skin glow. 

That's it from me folks. Sorry it was a bit long!

I've got lots of things I want to review and show soon that

 hopefully you'll enjoy :)

Bye guys
