Turn Your Man Into A Sapien Man- A Mini Review from Daddy

A while back I introduced you Surya Brasil in my mini series of Things that did not work for me, I had tried the henna powder but with my bleached hair they did not go hand in hand. Henna powder is not the only thing Surya Brasil has to offer and today I am introducing you to their Sapien Men Range.

Sapien Men Range is Surya Brasil first Men's cosmetic line and has Ecocert Organic Certification. 

It has:

• No synthetic fragrance
• No sulfates or phthalates
• No petroleum by products
• No silicone
• No gluten

It specially formulated products for a man’s tougher skin. With citrus, spice and woody notes scents, all derived from pure essentials oil and ethically harvested plants and fruits from the Amazon.

A while back I kindly received the Sapien Men Shave Cream in a goody bag, with the other half not keen on shaving and always hosting a five o'clock shadow or a manly beard I passed it on to my father to give it a test.

Here is what Daddy had to say;

"I have used Sapien Shave Cream for my last 3 shaves. Each time I have had a very close shave using less strokes then I would normally use with my old shaving cream . My skin feels smoother and refresh after each shave. It really does give a closer shave as the I fine I have to shave less often because of the closer shave it gives. I also love the fragrance it leaves."

RRP:  €19.55/£17.00

I recently also received the Sapien Men Facial Scrub which will be up on the blog in a few weeks so keep an eye out.

2014 Beauty Goals

Picture from link

The other day I posted my goals for 2014, I decided to write a quick list of my beauty resolutions, I am obsessed with beauty and clothes and makeup as is every #bblogger and some times you need to set yourself a few guidelines.

Picture from Link

1. Mascaras, I can only open one every three months, even if I buy or receive ones within the same three months I must not open it till the one I am using dries up or the three months is up. The only exception to this rule is when a mascara is so awful and gives you eyelashes to give Spidermans webs a run for his money you may dispose of it in the bin and open a new one.

2.  What looks good on other people/bloggers, may not look good on you, try things on and stop shopping with your eyes. Remember you are a midget with really short legs and mini skirts are maxi skirts on you.
3. Find a moisturiser that works for you and stop going back to your "old reliable" it does not work for you and is no longer reliable.
4. Learn to use liquid eyeliner, gel liner is not the be all and end all.
   
5. Review your brushes you have over 200 of them let people how good or bad they are.

6. Bigger brows are better, no matter what crazy thoughts come into your head! Remember how long it took to grow them back!
7. Bring a makeup bag everywhere, you never know where you end up or what might happen. If you forget your foundation again, a little improvisation with concealer, powder and moisturiser works wonders. 
8. Dare say you may forget it all always carry a spare eyebrow pencil because you can go anywhere with no makeup but not with no eyebrows.
9. Find a good shampoo and conditioner buy a stockpile of them because remember what happened to Avon Argan Oil Shampoo, actually in general remember what happened to all of Avon!
10. You must use who a whole eye shadow this year and not the one you use on your brows and not any black eye shadows either.

Hope you like my beauty goals of 2014!

Penneys Exfoliating Foot Mask

I have never been a big fan of feet, like who is? Well a part from foot fetish people but lets not go there!  I work on my feet there is no sitting down in my profession and no matter how good my shoes are or if I have socks on I will always end up with wet feet. I am constantly walking in puddles the glass washer is leaking sinks are over flowing, you would be surprised I had to teach a few lads in my job how to fix a u-bend before in work.

With my feet constantly been "attacked" it's no wonder the skin can get hard and they just turn nasty  and I would not even take my socks off for nobody not even if Tom Hardy was asking me to.

So I had heard about these Foot Mask from Penneys from Twitter, bloggers had been chatting about them for months some absolutely loving them, some loathing them aka Dani from Glamournazi.com. The disgust some people have for them is nothing to do with the mask itself which is very easy and pleasant to use it's what happens 5 days later...

Before I get into the "changes" that happen to your feet I will just give you a quick low down of the process/application, because it's all very easy. 

1. You cut open the open top of packet be careful as you do not want to cut the socks.

2. You take out the folded socks as seen above and unfold them and cut along the scissor line

3. Place the socks on your feet for 1 hour - 90 minutes

4. Sit back blog/watch the soaps / file your nails etc...

5. Take socks off, wash feet and throw socks in the bin.

Easy Peasy! 

The fun part/ or gruesome how ever you view it, these masks do not work straight away, they can up to five days till you start seeing the results and then another 4 days to complete the process. I eagerly waited checking my feet everyday to see any hint of changes even at the fourth day I was like these do not work at all my feet are still same ugly hooves they always was. Then while I slept that night and woke the next morning the "Process" had begun.

"The Process"

I would love to vividly go into this pictures and all but I would like people to come back an read my blog so I will keep it short and straight to the point. Your skin just starts peeling off your feet like a snake sheds it skin, or you get sun-burnt and start peeling, except its much thicker as your sole of your feet are much thicker. It can take anywhere up to four days for your whole two feet to fully peel. Honestly I would say if you have a boyfriends I would definatly not let them near your feet during the process. It just it's not the prettiest. 

The Result

You are left with silky smooth feet that happily let Robin Thicke sing into as he did in The Blurred Lines video.

These retail at €4.50 in Penneys/Primark stores, they may not be easily available because they always sell out but I found mine in the Artane Penneys.
