Butter London 'Yummy Mummy' Nailpolish Review

I have been on the lookout for Butter London nailpolishes for the longest time and finally I found them on sale so I bought the most talked about 'Yummy Mummy' colour.

The Butter London nailpolishes are non toxic and formulated without harmful ingredients which I really like.

Butter London says: 3 Free (non-toxic) nail lacquers and revolutionary waterless nail services. butter LONDON products are formulated without the use of the harmful ingredients like Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP or Parabens. butter LONDON was the first company to sell non-toxic nail lacquer in the United States.

About the Yummy Mummy colour: Our ‘magic’ lacquer. This medium beige colour is simply stunning on EVERY skin colour. If you can’t decide on a lacquer, then we will for you. It’s this.

It is a beautiful colour if your after a nailpolish that will compliment any outfit you are wearing and that will look 'amazing' on your nails. I would describe the colour as a light taupe colour with brown/biege undertones and some silver shimmer (which you can't see on the pictures but they are there, just really tiny) that gives it a nice finish.

The bottle is square shaped which is different to other nailpolishes. The formula of the nailpolish is really nice, the brush is thin and easy to use. It allows for the nailpolish to be easily applied exactly on the nail, so no messy nailpolish! The actual nailpolish is a thin formula and two coats are needed to achieve the colour.

The nailpolish lasted on my nails for four days before chipping. I like everything about the Butter London nailpolishes. I am really impressed with the quality. They have a huge range of colours, some are really unique and different.

Have you used Butter London nailpolishes? What is your favourite nail polish?

Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail Conditioning Hand Lotion Review

Hand creams are great to moisturise, soften and smooth the hands. I have tried a few, but there is one that I keep on buying and using that I really like. The Vaseline health hand and nail conditioning hand lotion. It contains vitamin E which I like as it is so good for the skin and keratin which is great for nail strengthening.

Vaseline says: Incredibly, our hand are made up of 5 unique surfaces. But because they are constantly exposed, they are prone to dryness and require customised care. Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail Lotion is formulated just for your hands. Its conditioning moisturisers are fast absorbing and non-greasy. It nourishes for softer palms, fingertips and knuckles, smoother cuticles and stronger nails.  Soften hands and strenghtens nails by 50%.

The Vaseline Hand comes in a 75ml squeeze tube that is a great size. The tube is a cute pink colour. The product comes out as you squeeze the tube. You only need a small amount and you just rub it in your hands and around your nails.

It feels soft on the hands and absorbs quite quickly. It leaves the hands feeling softer and smoother. It is not greasy, but if you use too much it can leave a oily feeling, so only a little amount is needed (as you use it a few times, you will see what amount works best for you)

I usually apply it in the morning and at night before bed, as these times suit me the best. Once you apply this lotion I would suggest not washing your hands for at least an hour (as it can wash off).

The Vaseline healthy hand and nail conditioning hand lotion is also great for nails. I find that I can get dry skin around my nails and cuticles, but when using this and massaging it in the nail area you can see the results really quickly - softer and smoother skin. To get the results you need to use this continuously and it really does make a difference.

I would definitely recommend this as a great everyday hand lotion that will give you softer, smoother skin and great results overall with continued use. It is very affordable at $4.95aud from supermarkets and priceline.

Have you tried this? Do you use a hand cream?

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm review

I never leave the house without something on my lips, whether its a lip balm, lipgloss or lipstick!

The Clinique Chubby Sticks were released earlier this year and definitely have been a must try product for me, the packaging is so enticing.

Clinique says: Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Eight natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.


The Clinique Chubby sticks are a oversized crayon-like balm that has a cap. Once you take the cap off, you apply the chubby stick to your lips. You wind it up to get more product out and it doesn't need sharpening. I was sent to try the 06 whoppin watermelon - a pretty light pink colour.

The texture of the chubby stick is a thin consistency that feels like a lip balm, glides on beautifully, is smooth and lightweight on the lips. It feels very moisturising and comfortable on the lips, with a light colour payoff. They are sheer, but can be built up if you apply a few layers. I apply a few layers about four and this lip balm lasts a good three to four hours, before I feel like I need to reapply.

It is definitely a lip balm, that moisturises and feels hydrating with a hint of colour. If your after a everyday lip balm that feels moisturising and smooth on the lips (excellent for dry lips) and easy to apply, then these are great. The packaging are presentable, cute and fun!

These are available at Clinique counters for $35aud and have eight shades to choose from.

Do you have a favourite lip balm? What do you prefer lipstick, lipgloss or lip balms?

Sunspirit Aromatherapy gift pack giveaway (CLOSED)

Need a easy way to relax? Sunspirit have a range of essential oils, herbal ointments and massage oils that naturally care for your health and wellbeing and are available in pharmacies and health shops in Australia and internationally.

What is aromatherapy? Aromatherapy uses the essential oils extracted from aromatic plants to restore or enhance health, beauty and well-being. When you inhale a fragrance, its molecules stimulate the olfactory nerve (your sense of smell) which activates the limbic system (the emotional part of your brain). When the limbic system receives signals from the olfactory nerves, it triggers an emotional, physiological and endocrine (hormone) response. This is how essential oils make you feel a certain way. Studies with brain wave frequency have shown that smelling lavender increases alpha waves in the back of the head, which are associated with relaxation. While Jasmine increases beta waves in the front of the head, which creates a more alert state.

There are lots of ways to use essential oils for aromatherapy such as:

Massage: Essential oils can be used topically on the skin to provide a therapeutic massage when combined with carrier oils like almond or grape seed (essential oils should not be put directly onto the skin without being diluted). Because essential oils have very small molecules they absorb easily into the skin and enter your lymphatic system and circulate into the blood stream to reduce inflammation, fix imbalances, increase blood circulation and eliminate toxins.

Aromatherapy bath: Another way to use essential oils is to have a pampering aromatherapy bath to make use of the oils therapeutic benefits. If you want to lift your mood just add 5-10 drops of Jasmine oil or use Lavender oil to boost your immunity and regenerate your skin for a youthful glow.

Oil burner: Another popular way to use essential oils is to add them to an oil burner to fragrance the home and let the healing vapours work to improve your mood, reduce stress, increase energy and help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Add 5 drops of Sunspirit’s Clary Sage to an oil burner to help relieve stress. To relieve the symptoms of a cold, flu or sore throat add 5 drops to an oil burner where the lively citrus smell will infuse in the air.

Pregnant women, people with severe asthma, and people with a history of allergies should avoid all essential oils. You can check out more of the Sunspirit range at their website http://www.sunspirit.com.au/
