The Best Highstreet/Drugstore Skincare: Affordable Beauty

March 30, 2021 by beautchicad Leave a Comment

You all know how much I love skincare… I could talk about it until I am blue in the face! There’s nothing more satisfying than removing your makeup after a long day and applying those luxurious feeling face creams! Just me? Nah, of course not :p

It all started when my nan would get me to cleanse, tone and moisturise with her. It was our fun little routine, every time I stayed over. Although, some may find that absolutely boring haha, it forever stuck with me and I have not been able to go without the three-step routine, ever since! I hope this means less wrinkles… If so, cheers nan!

I have tried a variety of skincare products. From affordable to extremely unaffordable so I like to think I am quite experienced. Another thing I love about testing an array of products is finding dupes. You can read all about my top five beauty dupes in my Huffington Post article.

Formula 10.0.6

Naturally, as a beauty lover, Boots is a store I often frequent. However, I typically reach for the same things, as I have quite a good collection of items I absolutely adore right now. This is where being a blogger comes in handy. That’s because we work with many PR companies who love to share new launches with us and I absolutely love that!

Last year, a company I work with regularly introduced me to a brand called Formula 10.0.6. An incredible skincare brand, priced affordably. I completely appreciate their price point since experiencing how amazing their products are because, truly, they are incredible and you get so much more than you pay for!

Below, I have chosen a couple of my Formula 10.0.6 must-haves… Don’t forget to let me know what your favourite product from the brand is too!

Formula 10.0.6

ONE SMOOTH OPERATOR – PORE CLEARNING FACE SCRUB
Where do I even begin with this stuff?! If you have been searching for the perfect face scrub which not only leaves your skin feeling silky smooth after just one use but also, magically, removes all makeup, this is the one for you! I am now on my second bottle of the Formula One Smooth Operator scrub and love it more, each day! I noticed an improvement in the look of my skin after just a few uses and find that this is not too harsh to use on a daily basis!

SO TOTALLY CLEAN – DEEP PORE CLEANSER
If you have been reading my blog for a while now, you know how much I love toners. I use one every morning, after cleansing my skin, just before moisturising. When I first received this one, I didn’t think it was something I could use as often as a toner due to it being a “deep pore cleanser” but this stuff is actually perfect for morning use as it really preps the skin for my daily makeup routine and helps prevent any new breakouts. It is incredible at reducing the size of spots, when concentrated on problem areas. I could not rave about this enough guys and for the price of the Formula 10.0.6 products, there two beauties are an absolute steal!

How to Strong Healthy Nails Using One Product!

Renunail

Ever since I last had acrylic nails, I have been finding it hard to get my nails back to their original condition which, back then, was very strong meaning I was able to maintain naturally longer nails.

Unfortunately, I think that I did take that for granted! Definitely not any more though Beauts. It’s been a nightmare, trying to control all of the chipping… Argh!

Luckily, I was introduced to Dr LeWinn’s Renunail. A product which is now my absolute saviour… Thanks guys! A completely new product to me, I started using this beauty a few months back and I can now, proudly, state that these nails are all my own!

If you are struggling to grow your nails, Renunail is amazing guys. Not only does this promote stronger, healthier looking nails, it also protects against dehydration which is something I struggled with after having the acrylics and painting my nails so often.

This course is so simple. Just apply 2 coats of the Renunail Revitanail Nail Stengthener onto clean nails for 5 days, removing on the 7th day with some nail polish remover. Repeat this process 3 times and voila! You are now on the road to fabulous, natural nails!

How to Remove Shellac Nail Polish

March 30, 2021 by beautchicad Leave a Comment

Removing Shellac nails may be easier than you think. All you will need are three items to help you in the process and voila! I have split the process into 6 easy steps which have been demonstrated in the images and description below.

I hope this helps!

gather tools

1. Tools needed:

  • Nail polish remover containing acetone
  • 10 cotton wool pads
  • 1 A4 sized piece of foil

prepare cotton

2. Prepare cotton wool and foil

Start off by tearing the foil into 5 long strips and then splitting each strip in half, creating 10 smaller pieces.

Then apply a generous amount of nail polish remover to the cotton wool pad and place it at one end of the foil as pictured above.

Place your first finger, nail down, on the cotton wool pad.

tightly wrap

3. Tightly wrap around the tops of fingers

Keeping your finger nail down on the cotton wool pad, carefully begin wrapping it around the tops of your finger as demonstrated above, making sure to keep it as tight as possible.

fold excess foil back over the nail

4. Fold excess foil back over the nail

As you can see, there should be some excess foil left over. Fold it back over the tops of each nail securing it tightly to ensure it holds.

leave to sit

5. Leave to sit for 15 minutes

After you have completed both hands, set a timer to 15 minutes.

If the second hand takes a long time to prepare after already having done the first, make sure to not let the time run over 20 minutes as the acetone will begin to dry out the skin around your nails and possibly begin to feel uncomfortable. Also, a little tip, leave the thumbs ’til last.

remove foil

6. Remove foil and gently scrape away excess

After the 15 minutes are up, remove one cotton wool pad/foil piece and gently scrape at the Shellac polish to see if it crumbles away easily.

If it does, remove all foil and gently begin to scrape the Shellac manicure away. This is not damaging as the polish should already be crumbling away.

Make sure you do not scratch the actual nail!

Once all of the nails are bare, apply some nail polish remover to a cotton pad and gently wipe over each nail to remove excess, if needed.

Once you have completed this, quickly wash your hands well and apply a nail cream/oil, making sure to massage it in well.
