CHERYL COLE AND I SWEAR BY SUDOCREM

I think everybody knows about Sudocrem. It is a healing cream originally made for babies to fight with a nappy rash. It is no surprise that women get very creative as far as beauty goes: we use everything from the fridge to maintain our beauty, we are giving 1000 different assignments to Vaseline and we steal Sudocrem from our babies.

So Sudocrem created new product just for grown-ups- Sudocrem Tube! We don't have to listen anymore if somebody asks "Why are you putting this on your face, it is meant for nappy rash?" Believe me, I have heard it several times. I usually say that who cares, it works amazing!

It is basically same old budget friendly skin care cream that comes in a handy 30g tube that is perfect for traveling.



It can be used almost for everything- dry hands, dry elbows and knees, acne prone skin, spots, bites, chapped lips, cold sores etc.
As this cream is antiseptic, I find it very helpful fighting with spots on my face. I put very little on the spot just after cleansing and before going to bed- it kills it pretty fast without drying my face out. Another way of using it is putting it on unexpected spot just before applying my makeup. It creates very thin and invisible barrier on spot, so my makeup doesn't make it worse.
Cheryl Cole swears by it when fighting with acne!




Last but not least I use it on my super dry hands. My became extremely dry after long winter. They were even so dry that I got little dry cracks all over my hands. Usual moisturising hand creams didn't help, because I still had to do cleaning, dish washing etc in home. In this case I obted for Sudocrem and its protecting barrier so my hands were safe from environmental damage and they do their own healing.


Who doesn't know anything about Sudocrem, it is pretty thick white cream that smells a lot like lavender. You need tiny amount to cover entire desired area, so little goes a long way. It can be used as often as needed, no limits on that.

Another thing I wanted to show is SudocremTube's Facebook page. I found it when they held Bagology campaign that I unfortunately missed, because I forgot myself exploring their fan pictures that different women had posted. They basically hired bagologist (person who looks what is inside your handbag and tells everything about your personality) and invited women to post pictures with their bag contents. As I said, unfortunately it is already over, but maybe they do it again sometimes. It is still super therapeutic to me to watch what other women carry around in their bags. Not to mention that reading what bagologist had to say is super interesting. So all the pictures are here.
Enjoy!

PHOSPHOR APPEAR WATCH. IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?

I have heard so much about Phosphor and their new line Phosphor Appear watches. So, you can understand why I was extremely curious about my own Appear watch. I wanted to know is it really worth the hype I have heard about it.

This watch is pretty unique and special on its own. It is driven by Micro-Magnetic Mechanical Digital (M3D) technology. With each minute, an electrical pulse generates an electromagnetic field that changes the position of the Swarovski™ crystals on the face of the watch, while producing a distinctive unique sound. The sound is like a mild buzzing click that doesn't bother me. As a matter of fact I like this sound, it reminds me that time is passing by with every minute (maybe it will make me appreciate time and use it more reasonably?).


It has two buttons on it side, when I click the upper one it shows the "off mode" that hides the numbers and replaces whole display with shiny crystals (that are catching light from different angles) for 12 hours. When I click the button again, I am back in "time mode". Simple!


The lower button is for "seconds mode" provided with clicking sound.


The leather band of my watch is shiny black one. It also comes in pink, red and white.

So, I have worn this watch two weeks now. It has brought definitely a lot of attention from people asking where did I get it and how it works. The clicking sound amuses everybody! Oddly this little sound feature satisfies me and brings a little happiness into my everyday life whenever I sit down and am able to hear it. I also like big numbers. For me a watch with big numbers have justified itself, because I don't have to struggle to find out time even when I am in a hurry.

As long as price goes, it is quite pricey. It is not extremely expensive like designer watches are, but $249 is good amount of money. Besides that I agree it is worth the investment- it is a UNIQUE watch with very good quality and it looks definitely worth more than it actually is.

In my opinion, worth the hype!
