Victoria's Secret Room 504 Nourishing Body Cream Review
What does it smell like?
- The scent is described as.... "sultry amber and passionfruit"
- I can scent the passionfruit
Do you like it?
- Yes
- Quite nice
- I like the scent - for sure, but not love... although I've used about 1/2 the tube so far!
- Nice for everyday...
Is it greasy?
- No, not greasy...
Is it moisturising?
- Yes, but not super duper moisturising... not drying though.
Would I repurchase?
- I think I will try others, before coming back to this one. But in the future, perhaps. :)
Out of 10?
- I give it... 6/10
Do you use body lotion? If yes, which one is your fave?

OPI What's With The Cattitude? Nail Polish

******
The next 2 items are from..
1. Black Leather Bag (mother's! :))
Shipping wasn't too bad actually. Everything was packed well.
Have you ordered from ASOS lately? What did you get?

DIY: Nail Polish Storage Shelf
Fadingdreams300 shows us how to make a DIY nail polish holder from pieces of foam & a glue gun!
How cool is that? Awesomeness!!
I'm not too crafty but that looks really great!
I'm a bit OCD though and don't want my nail polish on display... why?
1) It smells - and it will smell up the room (not THAT much but I'm pretty sensitive so yea...)
2) I have read that in direct sunlight it will decrease the lifespan of the nail polish - not sure about this but not taking the chance haha... don't want to throw away a bottle prematurely!
However, if you don't think what I have mentioned about matters or you think it's not true this is a great idea! :D
How do you store your nail polishes?

NOTD: Pinky Pinky... feeling a lil bit blue... and tweezy!
NOTD: Pearl Pink Nail Polish
Pearl is a Vietnamese nail polish brand that has been around for ages!
The application is pretty easy but not extremely shiney. This shade anyways.
Have you tried Pearl nail polishes before?
I hauled a few items recently...

Cuticle Oil - Is it Necessary? & Review...
The cuticle oil above is by a brand called BW. It is a 'flavor cuticle oil'
Do you really need a cuticle oil for your nails?
How do I know if I need one?
It really depends on the condition of your cuticles. Not everyone needs one though.
Are your cuticles dry?
Do they tend to get snagged on things and cause you pain?
Are yours bleeding?
If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above IMO it would be very useful to have a cuticle oil treatment.
What are the benefits of one?
It conditions your cuticles so you can push them away or trim them so you have better looking nails.
It also means that they won't snag on items such as clothes and will not cause you pain if you use it on your nails to soften them then cut them away.
What is normal?
Everyone has different needs when it comes to nail care.
Personally, my nails are not in bad shape and neither are my cuticles (I get the odd nail breakage and bleeding cuticle here and there but that is pretty normal so if that sounds like you too, no need to worry!)
How I use the cuticle oil is ...
1) without nail polish on my nails and cuticles I brush it on my cuticles. No need to redip the brush into the bottle - one dip for each hand. That would be more than sufficient!
2) then I massage the oil lightly into the cuticles.
3) done!
Pretty Easy Huh? ;)
REVIEW ON PRODUCT:
Smell?
It has an artifical smell. Kind of like peaches. It is ok. Not unpleasent.
Is it effective?
As I have said, my cuticles are not in too bad a shape so I find this cuticle oil pretty ok for my needs.
Would I repurchase?
I am a bit put off by the smell, but may consider repurchasing in the future because the product is not bad.
Out of 10?
6/10
Do you use cuticle oil? Do you think it is necessary?

What do you guys think about what this woman says about men?
"...when men want to be with a woman, they will move mountains.
When they don’t, they hesitate over every little thing."
Do you agree? Disagree?
