Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Golden Shimmer Multi Use Oil

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Golden Shimmer Multi Usage Dry Oil is a multi use oil that nourishes, repairs and softens the skin. moisturises hair whilst adding a subtle glimmer and glow to wherever it is applied.  50ml is £20 from Look Fantastic, which is where I purchased my bottle from.  It is a very light weight, non greasy oil which has a lovely smell of orange blossom, rose and vanilla.  It looks and smells great on the hair, I have a few greys which I can hide when I apply the oil due to the gleam and slight sparkle it leaves behind.  The oil does leave a satin like gleam (which is easy to wash off) so if like me, you dont like faux tan as it looks too fake on you this adds just a slight tint of colour and shine which hides stretch marks, bruises etc.  

I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.

Coin pendant holders for all price points

Coin pendant or bracelet holders are a fabulous concept.  The coins are interchangeable and as they are a standard size - 25mm and 33mm can be switched between different brands. The most well known brand is Emozioni (part of the Hot Diamond brand) but there are several brands and ranges with different price points depending on the materials used. 

The coin is placed in the open holder, it is then closed and the chain threaded through the top of the locket to hold it in place. 

The great thing about these pendants is that as they are reversible there are no unsightly settings- both sides are equally as pretty. 

Price wise the cheapest I could find for a holder, coin and chain was just under £20 at beads direct.co.uk. Bear in mind they are not sterling silver etc but silver, gold or rose gold toned. They are, however, very pretty items. 

More expensive brands make their items out of vermeil, sterling silver and rose gold are Emozioni and Mi Moneda.  They do carrier bracelets, matching earrings and rings. The great thing about this jewellery concept is that once you have a holder the coins can be bought for special occasions and the choices are endless as new designs are brought out each season.

Brooch or pin converters

Ever had that special brooch or pin that you just don't wear in case it pulls your clothes? What about investing in a brooch or pin converter.   Available at most jewellery maker online shops and on Amazon UK (mine cost under £5 each including shipping), these nifty little inventions can stop your beloved brooch from languishing at the bottom of your jewellery box.

There are both horizontal and vertical converters, which one is suitable for your brooch depends on where the pin is situated. The converter slides over the pin and is locked into place by closing the clasp. The necklace then goes through the loop at the top of the converter, either saving your brooch from being abandoned in the jewellery box or by making a new piece of jewellery!!
