Crème de la Mer face cream


This review is totally based on my opinion!...

Crème de la Mer face cream….I’ve heard so much about this ‘amazing/very expensive’ cream and I’ve always been curious about it… 1 month ago, I went shopping with a friend, and I passed the Crème de la Mer counter, so thought I’d check the cream out, first opinion when I touched it was ‘woahhhh this cream is sooo thick’… got talkin with the sales lady and she was really nice and gave me a sample to try it out….The sample tub she gave me was small, but its lasted me for more than a month now, and I still have like 1/3 of it left….
The story behind this cream is also very touching…well I found it touching….but basically…
The creator of Crème de la Mer was a man named ‘Dr. Max Huber’; he was an aerospace physicist for NASA. During a lab experiment, he suffered severe chemical burns on his face. Dr Huber couldn’t find any products that were on the market to help heal his burns, so he decided to invent one….it took him 12 years and nearly over 6,000 experiments before Crème de la Mer was invented.

Soooo…when I heard this story, I was like woahhh this cream can help to heal burns?!sounded kinda crazy to me…I also heard that famous celebrities like Beyonce and Kate Moss uses this product….but hey, there rich…they can afford it…

 

Prices for this cream is like

·         30ml - £95

·         60ml - £180

·         250ml - £600

·         500ml - £1150

 

Apparently in order for this cream to work its wonders, there's a special technique you got to do...

The quote "Apply day and night for a lifetime"...made me laugh!!!whaaaat...lifetime?!!...are u bein seriouuuusss??!!!!imagine the amount of money you'd be spending, on JUST a moisturising cream =S 

But yeh, my personal opinion...the cream did kinda work for me, my skin has gone a bit smoother and more hydrated and brighter, but i'm not sure whether i'd pay £95 for a tub of 30ml cream though...there's soooo many different brands out there, i'd prefer to spend the £95 on finding the 'right' moisturising cream for me... 




Lace Nails


I've been in love with this beautiful nail trend that I've been eyeing up for ages now, but i've been soooooo busy lately with assignments and reports, that i've had no time to blog about it...


The thing i love most about this design, is you can creative and personalise it the way YOU want =) you can choose what ever nail polish of your choice, the colour/pattern of lace of your choice, alter the style and many more...


Thing you need to achieve this amazing look:

  • Base coat (clear nail polish)
  • Nail colour of your choice
  • lace material
  • Scissors
  • Top coat (clear nail polish)
  • tweezers
Instructions: 
  1. place the pieces of laces over your finger, measure how and were you want to place it, and cut the section of lace.
  2. apply a base coat on to your nail and allow it to dry
  3. once the base coat has dried, apply the nail polish of your colour on to the nail, and then immediately place the lace on top (which you have previously cut into shape) letting the lace stick and dry with the nail polish
  4. use the tweezer to adjust the lace on your nail and press firmly
  5. Apply at least 2/3 sets of the top coat on your nail, this allows a thick glossy finish


Hope you've enjoyed and good luck =) x
