New on the shelves

Pay day’s just been – here’s how we’d like to spend our earnings in April.

Yardley Raincoat Mascara
We all have our favourite mascara…you know the one; the one we swear by for come hither eyes. But every once in a while, our favourite mascara needs a helping hand ­– like when you want to try out a hot yoga class after work, or it’s really hot and humid outside. So what do you do when your go-to favourite mascara lets you down? You Raincoat it of course! And so I did. It took two coats for me to really lock the colour in but as I have super sensitive eyes (I wear contacts), I was just really pleased that nothing reacted. It truly does work, maybe a little too well – make-up remover didn’t take it all off after a few tries, and there was still a little residue left the next morning. But would I use it again? In a heartbeat!

Girlz Only Nude Dry Shampoo
Water restrictions have made us all appreciate a good dry shampoo even more than before. We love that that this shampoo leaves no residue. So no white-ish powder left behind in your hair which can be a mission to disperse. It’s delicately fragranced and it leaves your hair looking and smelling great.

Sorbet Pedi-Care Foot Peel Duo Kit
The Sorbet Pedi-Care Foot Range was developed for tired feet, and salon approved by expert Sorbet Beauty Therapists to give you that salon experience at home. It includes soothing powders, heel balms, foot serums, tonics, soufflé’s (yes, soufflés – that’s French for ‘bloody awesome’) creams and sugar scrubs. So last weekend we kicked off the heels, read the instructions, gathered the cling wrap and Vaseline and turned the lounge into an erm, salon. The kit – which is the latest addition to the range – promises to peel away hard skin and calluses. Our feet were in pretty poor shape and barring the fact that the foot scraper supplied, didn’t really work (so we used our own), the results were truly amazing.

The kit includes a peeling foot gel, a neutralising foot tonic, scraper, pumice stone, and glove. There’s enough in the kit to probably save yourself the price of at least 10 full pedicures, and just opt for having your toenails done. Pricewise it’s a total bargain but somehow we’d still just prefer the odd trip to a Sorbet salon instead.
