Reply to request for the refresh quest!

Now try saying that title after a mojito or 2 - i dare you! So monday is here, predictably enough, but it does not have to be the dreary omen of a doom filled week - fear not beauty bunnies, spring is on the way (i am assured that Mother Nature is meerly taking her time, as is a woman's perogative!)

Anyway i was asked to look into he subject of skin care for the more 'mature lady'. There appears to be a myriad of information out there and so i decided to get advice from the horses mouth - well actually my Mum, who is in fact not a horse but a very beautiful soon to be 60 year old lady. And so she regaled me with tales of overpriced lotions and potions which she had tried over the years and thrown in the bin shortly afterwards! But then she gave me the spark of hope - that all is not lost :)
My Mum has been using 'Anew' products from Avon for sometime now and she reports the results are the best she has found. The clever thing with 'Anew' is that it is targeted at different ages 30's, 40's, 50's and 60+. Each range contains various ingredients which target skin problems that you are most likely to experience in that age bracket. The 40's and 50's focus mainly on skin freshness and vibrancy. I then spoke to some of my Mum's friends and found that they too have happened upon this beauty genius.
Now the even better thing is - THE PRICE - oh yes our favourite pick me up - BARGAIN! I have posted the link below for these products so you can see them for yourself (pages 69- 85). Just copy and paste into your browser if it doesn't take you straight there

If anyone is interested in trying the products i am able to order them for you so please just send me a message on Facebook.
These products will make you feel good as well as look good. No product can make you beautiful, that's already there in who you are and what you do, but these will certainly make you feel a million dollars and allow the gorgeous new you to stop worrying about turning back time and start having a damn good time

Hope you find this 'youthful' (ok that was an awful pun on 'useful', but it's Monday and we have no Mojitos!)

Get Cheeky, Get Lippy, Get Ready!

And finally the long awaited wonderment that is the weekend is here! As if that wasn't reason enough to celebrate here is my money saving and time saving tip of the day.

For ultimate office to out glamour you need products that perform and perform fast. So it got me thinking as to what products i carry when getting ready on the go. Ultimately your key aspects are cheeks, lips and eyes. This tip combines 2 out of 3 (which as the songs states aint half bad!) and keeps you looking fresh and ready to go.

Superdrug have a product from their own range - 2True - called cheek and lip stain. This handy sized make up marvel comprises of a gorgeous blush colour with a petite brush for application (attached to the lid - thin nail varnish stylee). It is applied to your cheeks for a subtle shimmering blush and also to lips for a more glam gloss.

Available in 2 colours 'Rose Tinted' for more porcelain skin tones and 'blush pink' for the more olive skin ones. This handbag hero costs a mere £1.99 - so that's enough change from a fiver for an extra glass of wine - my kind of bargain. An extra feel good factor, if you can cope with anymore, is that the product uses only natural ingredients - so Amen to mother nature - here come the girls!

Berocca-ca-ca! Putting the bounce in your flounce!

Hey Everyone,

This post comes from the heart of all things positive and energetic - 2 things that go a long way to enhancing any form of beauty. I have always toyed with the idea of vitamin tablets - to pop or not to pop, i am sure the Bard himself pondered this many a time and oft! Well the drudgery of winter, the cold weather and the general drag of  the dark days made me take the leap of faith.
I had a look round and there are many own brands which seem to offer a lot in the world of nutrition, but i have to say after trying a few variations Berocca is superb! The bonus is it is an effervesent tablet that you dissolve in water (the tropical flavour is particularly gorgeous). The down side is the price - 15 tablets can be as much as £9.50 - not the end of the world but at the higher end of the scale.

And so hurrah for Boots! They have their 3 for 2 offer on at the moment and unlike most other retailers named brands are included. So i am now stocked up and bouncing around like Tigger :) it really has made me feel better mentally and physically ( you will also save money on cold and flu meds as you will be super healthy!)

So my lovely sparkly, sprightly , spring ready friends - give it a go for a month and see how you fare.

Morning Discount Dolls!

Good morning - well i hope it is for all of you anyway :)
Thought i would share with you what is in fact an incredible deal. Superdrug, king of the highstreet for toiletries, basic make up etc are offering a whopping 25% off your bill. That's a 1/4 of your total saved (i know, i'm just showing of my maths superiority again!!)

So here is how it works. Go to Superdrug and buy a few bits that you need  (£5 worth or so)- not the more pricey items that you need, just a few basics. Go to the till and pay and you will get your receipt - as is normal process . . . . . BUT  . . . . turn your receipt over and you will be directed to a website where you complete a short survey and when complete - voila you get a voucher to print off for 25% off Superdrug own brand products and 10% off branded products - all in all a right Royal bargain i would say.

Let me know how you get on gorgeous guys and gals

Have a cracking day

Evening All

Hi All,

First post - an evening after a hard days work! And i can tell you that when i walked through the door and stared into the hall mirror i felt more beast than beauty! But having spent the last few hours doing what i love best, scouring for beauty bargains i am feeling much better.
Having spoken with a good friend of mine recently i have been looking into Avon - as a beauty brand and also a way of being thrifty. Having spent the time breaking down what is really going on i have to say i am impressed
Core values: Never tested on animals + Always high quality = Beautiful on a Budget
(why was Maths never this fun at school - seriously?!)
There are many ways to make the Avon school of Maths work for you - i.e buy so many items from pages x-y and you save £10

or

Buy particular item x with articular item y and receive a free gift - which always goes down well as a present to someone (there really is no better feel good factor).
I will post actual examples on here later - but in the meantime of anyone has any experience of Avon products shout up - love to hear your thoughts
