I have a bad habit. I take good care of my facial skin but the rest of my body is pretty much fair game. Body lotions or hand creams are things I use only when I remember, and let’s not even talk about feet! Other than cutting my toenails when they start getting long and gnarly, I rarely do much for my poor maligned feet.

So if you are like me, pause for a moment, say a quick thank you to your feet for making you mobile, and care for them. Here are some quick tips 🙂

Blush placement made easy with the Wayne Goss Brush 2

I haven’t been talking about makeup brushes for a while, which is a pity really, because I have quite a lot that I love, and so little memory of what I should be blogging about LOL! But here’s one I particularly enjoy using that I think many will too.

I bought Wayne Goss brushes when they were sold from a website in the UK, some time last year. He’s since consolidated his supplier to just Beautylish.com which I cannot vouch for, as I’ve never bought from them, but I know many have.

First off, let’s get this out of the way – Wayne Goss brushes are pricey. They are premium Japanese brush pricey, which means that yes, you may have to break your piggy bank to buy one. But to be fair, they are natural hair brushes (I love natural hair!) and they are very well made.

I picked up a few of his brushes a while ago, and I’ve shared my thoughts on Brush 1 and Brush 8 before this. Brush 2 took some getting used to for me, but once I got used to the size, I fell head over heels!

Omm… Enhance your Aura with the Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey mask

Ah Antipodes – Verily, thou canst do no wrong!

To me anyway. Almost every single item I’ve tried from the brand so far has wowed me. So far, it’s a 99% success rate (I’m not sold on Apostle and Joyous serums though I’m a bit more pro about the latter). I mean, what are the odds?! Most mainstream brands boast a far lower success rate than that.

Uh so, suffice to say, this will be YET another rave review of this product that I picked up a while ago, and never got round to talking about it. But I want to, because it’s very nice, and it’s very good, and it smells delicious – like slathering warm manuka honey all over your face. Mmmm….

There is one thing I don’t quite like about it, but I’ll tell you more, once I’ve stopped oohing and ahing and generally raving about this. Bear with me 😀

Your Say: Do you buy backups of your favourite beauty products?

When I showed you the very pretty (yet surprisingly tame) Guerlain Rouge G for Christmas 2015, I mentioned in the closing of my post that I was actually contemplating getting a backup. But I chose not to because by the time I was done, I would probably like something else by then. Interestingly enough, Kuri picked up on that throwaway statement in her comment and confirmed my thoughts by saying that backups rarely made sense.

So, you know what? The ol’ brain started thinking and got to wondering about backups of beauty products.

What say you? Do you buy backups so you always have one on hand when the product finishes?
