Treatment Tuesday The body shop Olive beautifying oil

This winter my hands have been extremely dry, so dry and scaly that they have been cracking. I found this oil in my products drawer I think I received it in a beauty box a while back, I bought some cotton gloves on amazon and every night or when I can at night time I liberally apply the oil on my hands and cuticles and put on the cotton gloves and just let it sink in, you can sleep with the cotton gloves on I don't because I know the gloves would annoy me when I sleep so I sit with the gloves on and watch a hour long show and the oil will have sunk into my cuticles and skin by time the show finishes. The product is oily because its an oil but its not a thick and heavy oil its quite thin, it smells like almond oil with a slight floral hint .This product contains four different oils olive, kukui, sweet almond and marula oil. This is a great treatment if you have dry cuticles and hands which in the winter I do, if you don't have dry hands just apply the product to your cuticles it will give your cuticles a really hydrating treatment.




You can buy cotton gloves for cheep from most places but you can purchase them from http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0018LMH6A?keywords=cotton%20gloves&qid=1457375031&ref_=sr_1_1&rps=1&sr=8-1

Treatment Tuesday – Jessica Phenomen Oil


If you have read previous blog posts you know I am obsessed with cuticle products and this is the cuticle oil I am currently using so I thought I would review it. This is a lovely oil it has a nice texture its slightly thicker than your normal cuticle oils but I sometimes prefer a slightly thicker oil. The oil is slightly greasy but only slightly the oil sinks into your cuticles beautifully, yes it wont sink in immediately but it is a super hydrating oil. The smell is lovey as well it reminds me of almond oil its kind of sweet and nutty but the scent isn't overpowering. This oil is slightly more expensive than most oils but this oil is super hydrating and not overly greasy/oily and you only need the tiniest amount this oil will last you a couple of months.

Treatment Tuesday- Maybelline Dr rescue SOS balm

I am slightly obsessed with cuticle balms,oils and butters so when I saw this product in my local boots I had to pick it up and I am so glad I did. I haven't really seen a mainstream brand that do mostly makeup sell cuticle treatments, I know L'Oreal, rimmel, Revlon and maybelline make nail polish but I haven't seen hand/cuticle care products from these brands before. I didn't have high hopes for this balm until I used it, this balm is lovely it is non greasy but hydrating and it sinks in incredibly fast. This balm is the perfect cuticle product for when your out and about, you do have to apply it to your skin rather than applying it to your nail because if you apply it to your nail you will waste a little bit of product and dent the balm but that's just what I do its just my personal preference. The balm has a slight smell but its not strong at all but I can't put my finger on what it smells like. I would highly recommend this product if your not into cuticle oils because this product is non greasy most cuticle oils have a greasy feeling and leave an oily film that may take a while to sink in and some people don't like the oily feeling but this product does not do that at all. I am so glad I picked this up and when I finish this one I will definitely be picking up another one, this product is now my handbag staple cuticle product for when I'm out and about.



I would highly recommend you pick up one of these when your out I purchased mine at a boots but anywhere with a maybelline counter should have this product.

Fresh Friday- KB Shimmer Chai tea Cuticle oil

Sorry for the yellow naked nails
This is a lovely cuticle oil it is non greasy and sinks in fast and is conditioning/moisturizing. I picked the chai tea scent because I haven't seen any cuticle products with the smell and because I'm addicted to chai tea lattes. The smell for me wasn't chai to me it smelt more like a really sweet Dr pepper or raisins with a slight hint of spice, I would of preferred full on cinnamon but that is just personal preference. I like the brush applicator it makes the oil super easy to apply no need for digging your nails into a tub and then getting product under your nails which is super annoying, I don't like that there is only 2ml of product in the pen I feel like it wont last very long especially when I apply cuticle oil 3-5 times a day.



I purchased this cuticle oil from Harlow&co - http://www.harlowandco.org/products/cuticle-oil
