NEW PRODUCTS.

So many of the cosmetic companies are now promoting products in the form of pen style applicators.

A few that are top of my list are Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer Brush Pen. No longer do you have to be a contortionist to apply colour and keep the bottle upright at the same time. All you do with this revoluntionary type applicator is just press the base of the pen which loads the brush ready to apply, so much easier. In a variety of lovely colours Boothroyds.

Sticking with nail products Sally Hansen has a huge range but their Cuticle & Nail Moisture Treatment is brilliant. All you do is twist the base of the pen which releases lovely almond smelling oil ready to paint around your cuticles which worked their magic after just a few applications.Boots

Clarins Eclat Minute Eye perfecting base is brilliant for crepey eyelids, by just twisting the base it enables you to brush the cream on to your eyelids which can be used alone or add eye shadow on top if you prefer. Debenhams.

After all that I was in need of some refreshment so stopped off at Boxtree Nurseries in Churchtown to have tea and a wonderful piece of home made apple cake. You can sit inside or out and it is so pleasant in a lovely conservatory within garden surroundings. www.boxtreenursery.com

Whilst up that end of town I had a wander round Churchtown Interior's in Cambridge Road where Paul gave me a tour of his newly extended premises which are choc a bloc with lovely furniture, lamps, and huge display of pictures. So many interesting gift idea's including some unusual jewellery.
