Avon Footworks Macadamia Nut Collection.



Avon Footworks Macadamia Nut Relaxing Foot Soak, Exfoliating Scrub and Moisturising Cream (£4.50 each, to launch in Avon Brochure 17).

No one likes talking about feet, but here goes. Summer leaves my feet tired, achy and just generally not in the best condition. I welcomed this trio to my beauty regime and they have changed my feet for the better! Firstly, the toasted Macadamia Nut scent is divine it's so sweet and warm. 

I treated myself to a full on pedicure using these bad boys and my foot spa. The Relaxing Foot Soak is essentially like a bath oil just for your feet; gone are the days of using washing up liquid for a foot soak! This makes the water feel soft and luxurious with that lovely scent and softens your feets. Then after a lengthy soak, I used the Exfoliating Scrub which was like a sugar scrub rather than a beaded particle exfoliator. This helped get rid of any dry or dead skin (ew) and smoothed over my feet. Finally, I've been using the Moisturising Cream every night to keep my feet soft and smooth. 

Overall, I'm loving this collection- the smell is a big selling point but I really like the scrub and soak within the trio as they feel so luxurious but they're so inexpensive! I hope you're all ok, thanks for stopping by x

Soap & Glory Heel Genius.

Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream (£5.50 from Boots).

I received the glorious S&G Best of All set for Christmas off my wonderful boyfriend and I've finally got round to cracking it open and getting stuck in to all the lovely treats inside. Since I've started work, my feet have suffered immensely- I'm pretty much on my feet all day at work and as a result, my feet have become tired, dry and hardened. I thought it was time to break out the Heel Genius- which is a S&G product that I've never used before. It goes without saying that I love the packaging- the foundation of the tube is the same as their Hand Food packaging. The main active ingredients are allantoin, glycerin, macadamia oil, menthol, bilberry, orange and lemon fruit acid smoothers.

Foot care products usually have that sickly minty scent to them but Heel Genius has a sweet fresh scent which is neither offensive nor overpowering. The formula is more like a lotion than a cream- it becomes really thin and easily absorbed upon application, unlike a cream which I sometimes find to saturate feet. S&G recommend that you use this product every night before you get in bed and then pop some cotton socks on and let the cream do it's work. I know some people don't like wearing socks in bed but I like wearing those fluffy slipper socks. In the morning, I wake up to super soft, smooth and fresh feet. I personally noticed the benefits of using this product after one use and would definitely recommend it for softening dry skin on the feets. I can see this becoming a much loved item in my beauty arsenal as it's super quick and easy to use. A little goes a long way (one squirt about the size of a chickpea does one foot for me) and you get 125ml for a bargain £5.50!! Have you tried Heel Genius? Let me know what your favourite foot care products are.
