Mani Monday And A Progress Report

Hello Ladies! So before we get to the business of this weeks Mani Monday, Michelle & I have some exciting news! After our gradual re-branding Michelle and I are officially a dot com! So Bex's Fashion Tips is no more and Faeriwood is a go. I'm excited for this new time and we have some great ideas moving forward so stay tuned!

Now on to this weeks challenge. I have been dreading this weeks brief of Metallics as I really dislike them from a nail art aspect. Block colours are fine but I just can't get to grips with them and getting any kind of decent definition was a nightmare, and photography is well... yeah. I actually tried out 3 different designs before I settled on a simple set of paw prints. Even now I'm not 100% happy but that's the point of this challenge, to try something out of your comfort zone.


I found these Sally Hansen Colour Quick "pens" in Poundland and they're quite interesting. Rather than your typical pen with a nib & striper they actually have a pump function which pushes the polish out on to the brush. Takes a bit of getting used to but they are very quick drying and perfect for on the go polishing. If you don't mind a bit of mess.

Matcha Madness: The Body Shop Matcha Tea Face Mask Review

My name is Bex and I am a mask addict! I love masks. Cream, clay, mud, peeling, sheet, cellulose, nourishing... you name it and I love it! I recently spent an evening with the amazing staff from The Body Shop Belfast learning about all their key products and celebrating their cruelty free status and at the end of the night I was very kindly gifted their Japanese Matcha Tea pollution clearing mask - I was delighted!  We all know that the world has gone Matcha crazy but beyond an occasional frappe from a well known coffee house my main experiences have been with Matcha flavour cakes from my local asian supermarket. They are seriously amazing and the lightest sponge I've ever eaten but it doesn't exactly scream "good for you". Thankfully, apart from being seriously tasty Matcha is ridiculously good for you. Traditionally brewed as a simple green tea it is packed full of antioxidants - 10 times the amount in normal green teas as you are consuming the precious groun

Ophrys Skincare

If you have been following my blogs and social media you will have seen that I am currently partnering with Therapie Clinics and trying out their range of specialist facials to try and improve my skin. Alongside the facials (my second of which is coming up in April!) I have really tried to up my game with my skin care. Rather than just slapping everything that says hydration on I am really trying to target specific areas and problems. This has not been without it's troubles as my sensitive skin tries to adjust to this higher level of care. As a result of this - and a few other internal factors - I have been experiencing a few more breakouts than normal but I have been coping with them better. It's all about the give and take. And when it comes to the 'give' I was very lucky to be approached by Ophrys Skincare to talk about their new range of low molecular hyaluronic skincare with their patented Mini-Hax particle. "Low Ma-what?" I hear you say? Well... Low
