HJ Manicure : Non-Toxic Nail Polishes


I haven't heard of HJ Manicure before, not until I stumbled across them on Instagram, entered their prize draw (which I'd never win anything), and I did win a bottle of their nail polish!

I went straight to their website and settled on the colour Coco. It is a pinkish browny colour. It reminds me of the autumn leaves. It is a nudy colour that can be worn all year round.
HJ Manicure only launched in the UK Aug 2014. They are specialised in "5 free nail polish" - free from "Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Di-­butyl phthalate (DBP) and Camphor (all preservatives that can be linked to cancer and skin irritations), as well as Animal Derivatives". All the polishes are vegan friendly and cruelty free. 

What amazes me greatly is the formula. It feels so buttery to apply. It is not too thin, not too thick, yet one coat covers my nails really well! The nail polish glides on my nails to give an opaque & even finish. I put on 2 coats just out of habit, but one coat is opaque enough if you are short of time.

To be honest, it is really hard to find a nail polish brand that is free from harmful chemicals yet with great formula and have great range of colours! £9.50 a bottle is fairly affordable too! HJ Manicure has certainly ticked all these boxes!!

I am sure they must have a base coat & a topcoat in their range but can't see those on their UK website. A non toxic base coat would be so beneficial as that's layer that has direct contact with bare nails. 

I can't wait to try out more colours! Their metallic electric blue "Midnight Sky" and pale lavendery "Thunder Storm" look stunning!

Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum

Lately I have been obsessed with the Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum . In the past I tried the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, it was alright but I didn’t find the result that amazing. So when I got a sample of for this Estee Lauder Enlighten Serum, I didn’t have high hopes … But how wrong I was! The sample bottle lasted me for two generous weeks and after that I rushed out to get the full size. Although it is called a serum, it is a light milky lotion texture, it is easily absorbed into skin and it feels moisturising. With the sample bottle, I used it every night after my cleansing routine. I can see visible results to my face after two weeks. My blemish marks are significantly lighter (my main concern) and the skin tone for the rest of my face is visibly more even.  Now I have the full size bottle (30ml, also available in 50ml size), I am going to follow the instructions to use it both day and night. Use it at night to reduce

Makeup Lego : Jouer Little Black Dress Palette

I love Lego and I love Makeup - what if there is a Lego in the makeup world....?! Jouer Cosmetics has made this dream come true, especially with the two palettes that they have: Blushing Beauty Collection and the Little Black Dress palette. A few YouTubers like Essie Button , Fleur De Force , and Ameila have talked about the Blushing Beauty Collection on their videos, but I actually prefer the Little Black Dress palette instead.
