How to Pack Smart for a Trip



How to Pack Smart for a Trip





Small (Bra/Undies)
     
Keep everything natural nude so it will work under all clothes, 
Even if you have a white top it's always best to wear a nude bra as it's less likely to be seen. 

           Multiway bras are always super handy to pack!



Clothes

Pick a colour scheme and stick to it.


Pick items that all match so you can vary your outfit without over packing,

I stick to these rules:
Black                or           Brown
Red               or           Pink

I never pick a brown top if I pack black shoe, or a red top with a pink jacket

My colour scheme is usually 
Blacks, 
Greys, 
and a pop of colour usually Pink or Red.
But hey that's just me!

I have podophobia



Micro-Pedi




Not something I like to admit but....*whisper* I have horrible feet.

I have podophobia: A fear of feet!

I hate feet, even the word Feet or Foot turns my stomach, I think this is because ever since I can remember I have had dry horrid feet. 
I even remember going to the doctor about it as a kid!

I have tried everything to get smooth feet,
scrubs, lotions, potions, files everything!! 

(If you want a review on products that I have tired before, let me know)

So I had to review this because in my option this is AWESOME!
Best thing I have EVER tried hands down (or should I say feets up) 
I finally have smooth feet with very little effort at all!! 


  
Pop two AA batteries in 
(not included by the way)

Press the button so it starts to rotate....

Run it over the foot Never hold for more then 2 seconds in the same spot

You'll see the flakes fall away...
Do it over a bin or towel, its gross lol





AND DONE SMOOTH FEET!!

It is pretty expensive at around €50 but I have spent more on stuff that hasn't worked so taking that into account it's not bad and at least it really works. 

I have been going around showing everyone my feet and with my podophobia that's HUGE for me!

All in all I love it!


I just don't know!!



Vichy Normaderm 
Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care


This is gonna be a very mixed review, 
I dunno where to start with it one....

I guess I will start with WHY I bought this. Vichy claim this moisturiser is for "imperfection-prone skin, to help with redness, shine, scarring and uneven texture." All issues I have. My skin is prone to breaking out but I have to be careful what I use on it, as it can become very dry if I use the typical "Acne" type products. 

This product includes Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid and LHA. This combination creates a peeling action penetrating the deep layers of the skin. "Treating from within"


So that's what it claims but what does it actually do...


Pros 
  • It does seem to treat blemishes on the face, I feel a tingling feeling for a few second on the areas that I have blemishes and acne scars. 


  • It hasn't affected my dry skin patches. Keeping them comfortably moisturised.




Cons  

  • Doesn't seem to sink into the skin, it sits on top of my skin making it feel greasy.  


  • I didn't notice my pores on my nose and cheeks were any smaller.


  • The packaging makes you think you have lots left, so its hard to judge when you need more.

  • Its expensive!!

  • Does NOT work as a makeup base! Unless you like it melting off in a few minutes!



I honestly cannot decide what to do about this! 
Should I get it again...What do you think??
