Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Slippers - Review

As a busy mum of two, I very rarely get time to think, never mind give myself a pamper. I'm always on the go so when I was offered the chance to try out a pair of moisturising gel slippers from Simply Feet, I was so grateful.

The slippers are available in cow and leopard print. I love leopard print so that was an easy decision! The slippers look just like regular slippers with the exception of the lining inside. 

The inside of the slippers feel, as the name suggests, like gel. This gel is infused with seven natural botanical and essential oils; avocado, olive, mineral, jojoba, grape seed, canola and soybean oils, and they are enriched with aloe vera, green tea and willow fragrance. When I first opened them I gave them the sniff test and I really liked how they didn't have a chemical scent but were rather floral and feminine.

I followed the instructions to a T: wash feet thoroughly (I'd wear them after I'd had a shower), put them on gently and wear them 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes. After the first use, my skin felt smoother and softer straight away and even the fragrance transferred. They are a little tight to get on due to the gel. I chose the Medium slipper which suits foot sizes 5-6.5 as I am a 6 but they were still very comfortable.

Cleaning them is easy, you just need to turn them inside out and wipe with a cloth. I've used them around 16 times and the gel still works as well now as it did in the beginning.

I would definitely recommend these slippers to anyone and I think they'd make a wonderful Christmas gift.

The Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Slippers are available in sizes Small to Extra Large (2.5-10.5) and you can choose between leopard or cow print. They retail at £30.00 and you can purchase them from Simply Feet.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas: HoMedics Elle Macpherson

Mother's Day is the perfect day for us to give our mums a bit of a pamper. Before I had children, I really took the time that I had to prim and pamper myself for granted. These days, I'm running around the kids all day and I'm exhausted when they're in bed. There is no way I'd be able to go for a spa day!

Elle Macpherson's range with HoMedics brings a little bit of that salon-feel to your own home.

The Elle Macpherson Wet & Dry Face and Body Brush (£39.99) is perfect for exfoliation. I never exfoliate. I've always seen it as too much faff and too time-consuming. This brush provides a 4 in 1 body treatment and it's a simple way to keep your skin exfoliated. It is waterproof so can be used in or out of the shower. Usually I'm a bit iffy about bringing items battery powered items near water but I haven't had any problems. The angle of the handle is great for getting those hard to reach places. It comes with four different heads (cactus dry brush, loofah, pumice stone and facial cleansing brush) so you can choose what's best for your skin type.

This has made exfoliating, for me, a lot quicker and easier. My skin is feeling more soft since I've been using it.

The Elle Macpherson Heel Smoother (£19.99) is amazing! Neither Chris or myself drive resulting in us walking everywhere so my feet have seen better days. Since using the heel smoother my feet feel and look brand new. It's a great shape to hold in one hand and the rotating blade gently removes your dead skin. The skin is stored in a separate compartment for easy emptying. After removing the skin, the smoother comes with six buffing discs to smooth your feet.

Both items can be purchased from Argos, Amazon, House of Fraser and Look Fantastic.
