Innoxa Exhilarate Body Lotion Review

Innoxa Exhilarate Body Lotion

Obtained: Gift bag.

Thoughts:

Innoxa make a lot of products that I like, they are very good for sensitive skin and don’t have many perfumes in them either. This is more of the same basically, it’s a nice lotion that has a thin consistency and is absorbed very easily into the skin. A little goes a long way too so the bottle will last a very long time because it’s pretty huge. I find it does leave a little silky residue on the skin so rather than an every day moisturiser I like to use it in place of oil for massages. It has a slight pleasant scent but nothing very strong at all. Overall this one is a winner for me.

Would I buy Innoxa Exhilarate Body Lotion again: Yes, great for massages and leaves the skin soft.

Bornite Stone AKA Peacock Stone Nail Art Tutorial

by VioletLeBeaux | Jul 29, 2012 | Nail-Art-Tutorials, Nails, Tutorial

Phew it’s been a while since I did nail art. I’m hoping to be able to do it more often soon. At the moment we’re kind of distracted by all of the puppy planning 😀 I had a craft day last week though and I’ve managed to cross off some reader requests coming up this week! I visited Daiso this week too so now I feel like I have a bit more inspiration for the Home Sweet Home project. recently I’ve been flailing about a bit with a lack of inspiration and motivation but now I have lots of plans!

This nail art look was inspired by Bornite aka Peacock stone. It’s really pretty so make sure you google some photos of it!

This tutorial is in one long image because it was made originally for Tumblr/Pinterest/Deviantart feel free to add me on there or share it around! You can also download it by right clicking and saving as 😀

Bergamot Bunny T-Shirts and Competition Winner!

by VioletLeBeaux | Jul 25, 2012 | Notices

Drum roll please…. The winner of the Bergamot Bunny Book competition is Mereillechan with the entry she left on my youtube video:

Yays im sooo glad you have your friday videos <3

Any how I think it would be really cute and fun if you could some how have little ISpy or Find Bergamot like segment for “Bergamot”(or a weekly post or some thing ^.^) where you hide her in different little silly spots in a big picture and one has to find her, Yes James this way you can be part of the fun with your photography skills 😀 and possibly at the end of the year there could be a ISpy/ Find Bergamot calendar people could purchase.

I picked this one because it was such a unique idea and not something which I would have automatically though of. It sounds like it would be really fun to do as well!

There were a lot of really great entries and honorable mentions go to Ivy Au, Courtney Golding and Camille for the stories they wrote and to Alexis for making me laugh at the idea of a bitchy narcissistic panda XD

With so many awesome entries were does this leave us? Well I want to make as many of them as I can happen! I’ve written a list of all of the suggestions and (as much as I can) I’m going to give as many of them as I can a go.

To begin with, I totally agree with the requests for Bergamot themed shirts!

I’d been looking around for a supplier for a while because I wanted to wear some myself 😀

I finally settled on Spreadshirt. They are located in the US/Europe so because most of you guys are from the US/Europe this will save on shipping for you.

Click here to visit the Bergamot Shirt Store!

I’m opening with just the classic Bergamot design to begin with on 4 different types of shirts (lots of colours!) and as time goes on I’ll be adding more. If there is a specific design you want to see on the shirts just let me know.

Click the image for more information, to see the other colours or to purchase!

I can’t wait for mine to arrive so I can use them in outfit posts 😀 😀 😀

Also I promised I would introduce you guys to Bergamot’s friends soon! There were a lot of suggestions for Bergamot to have a boyfriend and I’m totally one step ahead, I’d been planning him for around 2 months now and I’m just drawing the story of their first meeting.
