I received a wonderful box of goodies on Saturday and I would like to tell you about them.
Elite Luxe Laque nail polish in a beautiful red shade, it went on like a dream with no runny blobs that you get with some nail polish and I was very surprised at how quickly it dried to a lovely high shine finish. It looks today which is 3 days on just like it was applied. No chipping and still a very glamourous shine!
Cosmopolitan make up artist sponges are lovely and soft with a great feel to them, they seem to apply your foundation very evenly with no darker patches that I have found with some sponges.
Cosmopolitan RealTouch amazingly real nails, style no.21, I dont think I have seen false nails look so real before! They even have a side shadow effect which is lovely! They feel quite real and not just pieces of hard plastic like some of the current ones do. I have grown my own nails but I do buy false ones in case I break one of my own. I just pop on a falsie to complete my full set of lovely looking nails.
Cosmopolitan 4 way nail buffer, well what can I say? These are invaluable. You use side 1 for evening out ridges, side 2 for smoothing the nail surface, side 3 to buff the nail surface and finally side 4 to give a really high shine to the nail surface. I have had one of these before from another manufacturer and it was totally flat so wasn’t really that easy to use but this one is shaped perfectly to use without having to keep wiggling it over your nails.
Olay Deep Wrinkle Treatment, I have a couple of deep wrinkles on my forehead and I really think this works. It has a precision applicator so you don’t waste any and can easily precisely put it where your problems are. I think its helped already and I have only been using it for 3 days!
Elite velvet compact foundation, a great looking box with a lovely sized mirror so you can easily apply it on the go. I know why its called velvet foundation because it is very silky and lightweight and does exactly what it says on the box!
Elite Blush, lovely little blush set with its own brush that glides on great and gives a natural looking glow to the cheeks.
Repulp Gloss (plumping lipgloss), glides on the lips beautifully and tingles slightly but the result is a slightly plumped up gorgeous coloured rehydrated lips. Great product.
Smartigloss lipgloss, very pretty slightly glittery that glided on lovely and looked really nice and natural with a slight sparkle that looked great.
Crayon Contour eye pencil in black, great eye pencil that wasn’t too hard which I find that some are. Applied very easily with no crumbling and looked great!
I hope you like my reviews on my goodies as much as I have enjoyed testing and reviewing them!

This is one of my favourites….with my husband working away so much, this Sweet Snuggles Warm and Cosy Hot Water Bottle does just the job to give me that ‘Big Hug’ effect. It has a plush velvety ocver, and is heart shaped and is perfect to snuggle up to for those duvet days!
Long winter nights don’t have to be spent pining for the bright beautiful days of spring. This year winter combined with the credit crunch means home nesting essentials are more important than ever before. Last year nesting may have meant dropping a hefty sum on designer scented candles and cashmere blankets, this year Superdrug offers a more purse friendly solution.
The limited edition Sweet Snuggles collection (available until end December) offers a capsule cosy collection all created with the eye firmly on winter nesting at home. The textured mug (£2.99) is reminiscent of a cosy hand-knit cardigan, just add hot chocolate.
For real duvet days the furry heart shaped hot water bottle (£7.99) is warm and cosy while the knitted slippers (£4.99) are a fleecy hug for the feet. Heart shaped soaps (£3.99 for six) are scented with sweet chocolate and caramel toffee fragrances.

For sofa snuggling the cosy fleece blanket (£4.99) is perfect, decorated with folkloric hearts the blanket is available in pink or chocolate. The Sweet Snuggles range also includes some pamper evening essentials for instance the Hot water bottle pamper set (£9.99) includes a mini knitted hot water bottle with pom poms, hot fudge scented bath sets and a delicious crème caramel body cream. Another pampering product is the cute pom pom trimmed felt bag (£6.99) complete with three sweet shop inspired bath soaks; hot fudge bath caviar, chocolate vanilla bath salts and crème caramel bath salts.

And for when you have to venture out into the cold days outside, try the Sweet Snuggles scarf (£4.99 in pink stripe or chocolate stripe) and the heart shaped hand warmers (£3.99 for two).
The entire Sweet Snuggles collection is part of Superdrug’s three for the price of two promotion, just look for the present stickers in store and online at http://www.superdrug.com/Exclusive-to-Superdrug/Sweet-Snuggles/icat/ch_giftsexc_sw
