Tootsie Sweet, Keeping Britain on Its Feet
0
May 27th, 2010Beauty Queen, The Sassy ListThe sun is out, as are our pins and tootsies, as well as the film that usually pays homage to shoes in more than one way-SATC2. Now your feet may not be the prettiest things in the world, but a little bit of TLC and a good pair of shoes can work wonders, so here is the Sassy List, to make your plates of meat into right Bobby Dazzlers!!
PS;see down at the bottom, for Scholl’s competition that can win you and some friends, 1000 quidders!Preparation is key, and every girl wants pins that are silky smooth and a joy to look at. I love the feeling when Ive moisturized my legs and slipped them under clean sheets, it makes me feel all fresh and seductive. I don’t need to tell you-I hope I don’t anyway-that a hairless leg is where you need to begin. Which brings in Nair’s Pretty Party Sparkle! With a tropical scent and glittery gel, this is for the utmost of girly-girls.

Cracked Heels are a no-no and its always the first thing those pap lenses pick up when they are checking out Star’s shoes. Not only that, they are dry and sometimes painful, and in contrast, catch the sheets! Scholl’s Cracked Heel Repair, stimulates skin and rebuilds the cells. With clogs all the rage this summer, you’ll truly need it!

For those of us with alabaster legs, Barbie-it up with the new Fake Bake Instant self tan mousse. Super light and fast drying, its easy too which is more suitable for those that rush out of the door in the morning-like me. Its also non-mess, unlike me, with no colour transfer and comes with gloves so you don’t get orange hands. Bonus.

Pretty toes are of course, a must. And with all the fabulous nail colour’s out there, its easy enough to achieve. But stronger nails are the best-and with the extra stress from holiday sand and sea, they usually take a bit of a hammering. I swear by Ruby and Millie’s crystal nail file(16.00 from Boots) to get them in shape, and Collection 2000 for the base and top coat-its cheap enough to change your colour every week, too!

My favourite nail colours this summer, is Nails Inc; Kings of Neon range. A lotta brite, and a little pastel, its a good all rounder and can do all the trends from Romance to Jet-Set. At 22.00 for eight, its a sure-fire hit.
Maintainance;-Its no good prepping and polishing, if you aren’t going to maintain. And with these handy blaggers, it is possible to do in the minimum of time.
Remember those crusty heels we were talking about earlier? Make sure you banish the hard and dead with one side of this Alida foot file, smooth and polish with the other side. Changing your shoes from winter to summer is bound to change the soles of your feet, so this is a good all rounder.

Slather on Soap and Glory’s Intensive foot cream, and slip on some cotton socks so you give them an intensive moisturizing treatment. Make your feet feel like a real silky stocking-those retro pictures of pin-ups in their bath with their pointed feet up?=YOURS.

It would be fair to say that Scholl are truly the feet specialists and I cannot praise their products enough for maintainance. My personal favourites are the clear blister stickers-which are AMAZING because they hide in my shoes neatly, but they also have a gel section which comforts the section of my heel that catches my new Nike Hi-Top sandals.

As if they aren’t enough of a saviour, Scholl have also launched a competition ‘Keeping Britain on Its Feet’, searching for the nations hardest working heels. It could be a group of nurses, carers or teachers, and after a vote, they will not only win a pure pamper session from Scholl, they will also get 1000 hard cash. Find out more, here.
