Friday Favourites

This week I'm starting a new series, something to get me on a schedule! 

This week's favourites are: 

Sunny's On The Go Hand Lotion 

It's no secret Sunny's are my go-to nail and hand care products. This month she came out with a few new goodie to add to her line up, one of which being this On The Go lotion, a thinner formula in a tube for easy use. It's a great formula, absorbs very quickly without leaving a greasy mess or a film and really softens and moisturizes. I tend to be pretty sensitive to weird things in lotions so this simple formula is a God send.



The Mystery Polished Ladies

I discovered this little group on Instagram and knew I wanted to join in the fun!  It's a circle of polish enthusiasts who, every few months, sign up to send a 'mystery' box of goodies to another member. Each member fills out a little questionnaire, but the real fun comes in stalking the lady you're spoiling's IG page for things she likes, wants, might never have heard of in order to put together an amazing surprise for them!  I'm on my second round with them and am also a mentor and it's been so much fun.


China Glaze

From what I understand, China Glaze is a really popular and rather easy to get, inexpensive polish line!  Problem is, it's not available here in Italia and so every time I see swatches my little heart beats harder and faster!  Thanks to both Steph and Jackie I now have an AMAZING little collection of gorgeous shades to play with!

365 Days of Awesome

One evening the image of a cute little pot of cuticle balm crossed over my Instagram feed.  I clicked on the link and soon found myself lost in a world of balms and oils and lotions, oh my!  365 Days of Color Polishes features Sunny's Body Products.

I right away ordered the Halloween box, which included:

Werewolf Cuticle Oil:  Fresh citrus highlights sparkle around the floral heart of lavender and ylang in this sensuous blend. An earthy signature of patchouli and spiced wood leads to a base of warm animal tones. Leather and musk balance with balsamic undertones as hints of powdery vanilla complete the blend.

Boogie Man Intensive Oil: Begins with notes of geranium, bergamot, and rich Indian spices; well rounded with notes of amber, woods, and musk.

Kiss of Death Lip Saver: Beware of this totally kissable scent! It might just kill you!! A sexy aroma very similar to Hawaiian punch! 

 
Bite Me Cuticle Balm: The scent description is fresh notes of lime and orange sparkle with highlights as they lead to a luscious blend of berry and cherry in a playful scent. Leafy green accents add intensity along with a base of sweet vanilla.  
 
Poison Pie Hand Cream: This smells of fresh picked blueberries and fresh cut granny smith apples smothered in butter, cream and cinnamon with a background of fresh baked crust.
 
Tricks and Treats Hand ScrubThis begins with top notes of pumpkin, persimmon and apple followed by middle notes of blueberries, elderberries, currants, orange and cinnamon. It has base notes of sugar cane and vanilla.

Everything came in well sealed tubes and jars and labeled with coordinating spooky labels. 

I also took some time to peruse through Sunny's list of over 170 scents and decided to just order whatever sounded interesting.
Opening the box was exciting and I sat at the kitchen table with my mum, who's visiting, and opened and smelled everything.  We made it a game, I had her smell and guess what she thought it was.  So far I've been using the balms and intensive oil.  I'm a bit obsessive about keeping my cuticles and nails moisturized.  

The Miracle Balms are a very nice consistency.  It's not soft or oily at all and melts into your skin and nails easily without leaving a greasy mess.  Any little dry patches are smoothed over tamed.  Full sized pots are 1/2 an ounce and cost 4$us each or you can get a set of three samples that are 1/4 an ounce for 6$us.  The little pots sneak easily into my pants or sweater pockets for easy use.

The Intensive Therapy Oils are amazing.  Ah-may-Zing.  A lot of cuticle oils on the market have a lot of jojoba in them and I wasn't sure how this would work, considering it doesn't boast jojoba.  Instead it's a blend of argan, coconut, flax, apricot seed, hazelnut, and rosehip (jojoba is the main ingredient in her cuticle oils).  It reminds me of a posh hair treatment and seems to completely condition my cuticle immediately.  It soaks in easily, although I do tend to massage it a bit.  It's, again, not overly greasy and doesn't leave an uncomfortable feeling on your fingers.  Full sized vials are 15mls and 7$us or you can get a set of three samples that are 8mls each for 9$us.

Right now she is offering a Fall Exclusive Box for only 22$us:

You will receive 1 full size cuticle balm, 1 full size cuticle oil, 1 full size intensive therapy oil, 1 full size lip balm, 1 one ounce hand cream, and one 1 ounce hand scrub!

Balm: Pumpkin Crunch Cake: aroma of creamy pumpkin pie filling; surrounded with freshly baked yellow cake, melted butter, pecans, and hints of spice

Cream: Pumpkin Apple Butter:notes of orange, apple, pear, pineapple, and cherries; middle notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove; with base notes of warm vanilla.

Scrub: Autumn Mums: features a sparking top note, a floral heart combining neroli, rose, carnation and marigold, with a base note of twigs and earth.

Intensive Cuticle: Caramel Apple: the aroma of a big red juicy apple dipped in warm, buttery caramel.

Cuticle Oil: Autumn Harvest :Crisp apples, vanilla, nutmeg, sweet pumpkin and cinnamon make this a perfect Autumn blend!

Lip Balm: Pumpkin Pecan: A delicious blend of pumpkin spice and pecan cream filling!
Although it's sold out right now, she will be restocking it, so keep an eye on it! I ordered one within minutes of it being available as well as a few more samplers set.  The small sizes are wonderfully handy for travel, and I'm often on the train back and forth to Rome and then out with clients.  I've sacrificed one of my little balm samplers to a client with notoriously dry hands and he's been remarkably happy with it as well!

Don't forget, I'm also giving away a mini set of oils and a balm in my #00Muertos giveaway/contest!
