Newton Abbot Homemade Jewellery

Not a sponsored post as I don't profit from it.

In a quiet-ish town in the south west called Newton Abbot in Devon lives a young woman who spends her spare time making up little jewellery items. It started off from the purchase of a little jewellery making set in Argos and spread out into a possible money making opportunity.

She brought her jewellery along to stands at truck and steam rallies throughout the south west and then moved on to local school fairs. Now by branching out onto a facebook page and even posting items on to ebay the chance to snap up the items is getting easier and easier.

The company was only created during Summer 2013 and is still fairly new. If you want affordable, cute and often one of a kind pieces then this is someone to look out for. Most if not all jewellery items cost less than £5. Due to the pricing you can gather that no precious metals are involved. But what can you expect for less than a fiver. Sometimes recycled jewellery pieces are used so if you have a charm or pendant you loved but the chain may have broken you could get fashioned into a new jewellery item. If the item purchased breaks or is incorrectly sized then it can be returned to the maker and she will try to correct the problem.

If you are not in the local area then you can pay by paypal and get the items sent to you.

Examples of products on offer. Do excuse picture quality this was the best I could get for now.

Does this work? Veet facial hair remover

This is rather embarrassing to admit to the internet but because I have incredibly dark hair to the point it's practically black it means I have rather prominent facial hair. Now this is certainly a rather embarrassing thing for a teenage girl with her face being pretty much her only attractive feature. I have spent around 4 years trying to find cost effective ways of getting rid of this hair and I must tell you if you have an issue similar to mine NEVER shave it. It's a bastard when it grows again because the blunt edge of the hair makes it look darker against your skin especially when you're pale. 

Anyway onto the product... I picked up this hair remover for around 3 pounds in Morrison's (yes I shop there a lot) and saw it was specially formulated for the face and sensitive skin. Now I have tried regular hair remover and I always found it left me with a red and sore upper lip so I hoped this wouldn't do the same.

I found the application method using the spatula to be pretty pointless and fiddly. It left some areas with thinner coverage or absolutely no cream on it at all. I gave up using it after the first try and just decided to apply it with my fingers.

The product for me worked in the 5 minutes which I found quite good as I have very dark thick hair and thought it would take the longer time listed on the box.

Since picking up the box in Morrison's I haven't needed to search for it but I haven't noticed it in other shops. So keep your eyes peeled for it if you need it.
