My Very First…

…OPI nail polish – My Very First Knockwurst. I won’t beat around the bush, this has been my nail polish of the moment since the second I bought it. I picked this little beauty up on the way back from Barcelona in duty free as a spur of the moment ‘spend my final euros’ purchase. Within one use I went and purchased a second bottle. I was hooked and knew it wouldn’t take me long to fly through the first one.

My 'Rituals' Rituals

For those who haven’t heard of Rituals, it’s a fabulous luxury brand at a not too luxury price. It’s very spa like and I suppose much of it follows a very spiritual vibe but I can’t really say I subscribe to all that jazz. Nonetheless, all the products I have tried so far are beautiful and yet I find that it’s not a very well known brand at all and it does surprise me. I’d say it really focuses on body care and skincare, though it also does makeup, which I can’t say I’ve tried. We were lucky enough to get a Rituals store in York where the staff are lovely and so helpful without being invasive, whereas I know in other places the stores are really lacking and their products are often stuffed in the corner of House of Fraser (I know they are in Leeds) without the merest hint of a Sales Advisor about. Such an incredible shame.
