Share: do celebrities influence your beauty buys?

I had wanted to ask this question even before I wrote the entry yesterday but just so Raelynn mentioned in the comments that she could not resist getting a tub of the Nivea Pure and Natural Day Cream because Watsons cleverly promoted the news of Kate Middleton being spotted buying a tub of the cream in London hours before appearing at a star-studded gala charity dinner. News also reported that the Duchess of Cambridge has been buying it for some time and “swears by” the brand, which has also been hailed by Victoria Beckham. According to The Telegraph, “the sighting is almost certain to send the moisturiser flying off the shelves as fans clamour to recreate the young royal’s look.”

Nivea Pure & Natural Rich Body Moisturiser

Have you noticed the slew of new products under the Nivea Pure and Nature range at Watsons? I don’t think you can miss them given that the store is capitalizing on the news of Kate Middleton being spotted buying a tub of the Nivea Pure and Natural Day Cream in London. Even though the duchess doesn’t seem to mind one bit that the third ingredient in the product is alcohol denat, I do. And so I only bought the Nivea Pure & Natural Rich Body Moisturiser. This is the second product I’ve bought under the new line; the first being the Jasmine scented Nivea Pure & Natural Action Roll-On Deodorant.

Can I use an SLS-free body wash on my face?

Following my post if we can use body lotion on our face, I thought I’ll disucss on whether we can use our body wash on our face. We know that that it’s generally not advisable but what if you’re using an SLS or SLES free body wash? Doesn’t that make it more gentle and hence, can be used on the face too?

DIY wire fashion rings for thin and fat fingers

It seems like I might just start a regular feature on DIY fashion. Well, after the first project of DIY t-shirt scarf, necklace & bracelet, I’ve been hooked since. It’s really fun to get creative and I’ve been scouring around for more ideas, including looking up some books in the library.

Creative recycling
The thing about DIY fashion or some call it reconstruction fashion is, you’re really recycling materials and so it’s really eco-friendly. Some of the materials are even considered junk, like these that I use for this project.

DIY Beauty: oil mix to whiten & strengthen nails

I used the balance of the dōTERRA essential oil samples for this simple DIY formula to strengthen and whiten nails; namely the lavender essential oil and the lemon essential oil. Both oils are good for strengthening the nails and lemon essential oil has the added nail whitening benefit.
