Here are some products that I have repurchased and some that I haven't yet tried.

• DOVE LEAVE IN TREATMENT: From my previous post I have decided to get my hands on this product yet again! Loving this stuff!
• GOODY OUCHLESS HAIR TIES: Great for your hair as is does not have the metal fastening on the band which prevents breakage to your hair.
• TRESEMME CERAMIC VENT BRUSH: Excellent to use on damp hair whilst blow drying. Offers maximum heat and a faster drying time.
• BIORE NOSE STRIPS: Do an awesome job for taking out blackheads and whiteheads

NEW BREATHABLE NAIL POLISH... IS IT HALAL?

 

 I love reading other blogs and one of my lovely ladies has a blog of her own... she lives and breathes nails and I highly recommend www.sepidelicious.com

From reading her blog the article that stuck out most to me was 'Is it Halal?' and from there I discovered the new breathable nail polish and have done a bit of reasearch of my own.

“For religious Muslim ladies who religiously pray five times a day, wearing nail polish can be a bit of hassle. Prior to praying you'll need to follow a process using water to wash your face, hands, arms and feet as you'll need to be clean before praying. Wearing a polish is forbidden as it will prevent the water to get through to your nail bed.

Wojciech Inglot was the answer to a health conscious and Muslim fashionista's prayer! His Halal proofed nail polish range have been formulated in a way allowing the water and oxygen to pass through and onto the nail plate calling it the Inglot O2M, which stands for water and oxygen. 

Alhamdulillah! (Translating praise to God)”

Inglot began his research approximately four years ago to develop the formula for the breathable enamel, which uses a polymer similar to that in the newest generation of contact lenses.

Inglot mentioned that the chemical formula is 'tricky' and 'quite expensive' to produce, and that the profit margin on O2M is not high. Nevertheless, he said he was determined to create a breathable polish knowing that consumers are ever more health conscious and expecting them to welcome a varnish that would let the nail breathe.

One of the research methods was putting the O2M nail polish and a standard polish on coffee filters, letting them both dry, and then planting water drops on top of each and seeing if the moisture seeped through. The results were the traditional nail polish it did not, but it went through the O2M polish and even wet a second filter below.

Mr Inglot, who sadly died last month, developed something ground breaking for the Muslim female population. RIP Mr Inglot.

SINFUL COLORS & NICOLE BY OPI

 loving these colours!!

Has anyone in the UK tried these two brands out?!

U.S BRANDS COMING OVER TO THE U.K

19th MAY 2013 (late post)

Remember in the last post I mentioned Boots brought over Stateside's number one selling brand of nail color and care?

Now Boots have brought over from the US to the UK another nail brand... SINFUL COLORS!!!

I have heard the 'hype' about this nail brand from many YouTube gurus and bloggers... I think the reason for that is due to the colour payoff and the fact that price is soooo affordable retailing at £1.99 per bottle!!!

 WAIT THERE'S MORE... 

 

 

Boots are not the only store that is bringing US brands over to the UK!!!

To my surprise after finding Sinful Colors in Boots I went to Superdrug to see if Sleek had anything new... there it was in Superdrug... NICOLE BY OPI!!!

Another nail brand that is a huge success in the States! I was in heaven! To think I was only 'window shopping' and not planning to spend but I could not help myself!!!

The colour payoff is amazeballs but the price is quite high. So while there is a 3FOR2 offer at Superdrug I say now is a great time to try Nicole by OPI out!!!

SALLY HANSEN COMPLETE PRODUCT LINE IN BOOTS UK

Apologies to my readers! I have not posted anything as of lately however I have been meaning to -_-

Staying on top of things is extremely hard especially when you have a full-time job as well as other responsibilities... I do have a life outside of blogging. Having said that... even when I am constantly 'on the go' I always think of what can help my readers or what may interest them.

12th MAY 2013 (late post)

 The day before I went to 'Go Ape' for a friend's birthday and somehow the next day on the 12th May I still managed to wake up early and go shopping. My arms were aching from the previous day and thought that there was no chance that I would be able to go out the next day.

Somehow I managed to get myself up and after doing the shopping that was needed, my partner and myself thought to look around and see what was new. Mostly every shopping trip that I go on, if there is a Boots or Superdrug, you would see me in there or both... I am grateful my partner is patient with me =]

To my surprise I saw the complete range of Sally Hansen's Salon Manicure!!! Not only was there a full range but Boots also had Sally Hansen's Salon Effects, GEMcrush & Treatments! Well done Boots for bringing Stateside's brands over to the UK! I wonder what is next?!

One more thing... I didn't know Boots had a service to help you find your foundation match. Has anyone tried this service? How was it? Did it work for you?

If they ask what type of skin you have, what finish you would like, and what your colour undertone is... then you are on the right track and the beauty consultant most probably knows what she's talking about.
