SPOTLIGHT: NOBLE by Bendtner

I wanted to bring this to you guys' attention because of the fact that this is the first unisex jewellery that I ever really liked. NOBLE by Bendtner is a brand developed by Nicklas Bendtner, the Danish soccer player from Arsenal. When I first heard of him, I was feeling a little bit skeptical due to the fact that the brand is firstly for men. However, after looking at the products and the fact that his wife also wears his jewellery, I was definitely much more interested. Not to mention the bracelets look super luxurious and polished, I just had to share with you guys!



Here's a little bit about the brand:

"It has always been my dream to create a jewellery collection for men. And it must - of course - be jewellery that does not look like anything else on the market. The jewellery must have an edge and attitude - be exclusive and unique". " Nicklas Bendtner - 2010.

As with his career in football the famous Danish soccer player from Arsenal - Nicklas Bendtner - has always had very high demands to his own performance. This is also reflected in the expression of his Jewellery designs, where he chose the exotic skin from a Stingray to be the continuous look on bracelets and necklaces instead of the traditional leather. And the various Jewellery styles are all designed in solid Sterling silver 925 with hand-set black diamonds. The whole process with Nicklas as the creative force.

"To my surprise, lots of women have shown a huge interest in our Collections in the past years. As a result I decided to dedicate selected bracelets and necklaces from our Wildlife and Classic Collections to women only. And with this expansion together with our latest new designs I took the opportunity to change our company name to NOBLE by Bendtner”. Nicklas Bendtner, 2013.

Today the various Collections are marketed as a Wildlife Collection and Classic Collection “for Women only” and equivalent “for Men only”. And the original design ideas of producing Jewellery with a certain edge and attitude have not been compromised over time. Neither the uniqueness of each individual Jewellery.

The various Collections consist of bracelets, necklaces and rings.

Lipsliscious

Chapped: used of skin roughened as a result of cold or exposure; "chapped lips".

I'm going to write about my recently bought "Marquis'd" MAC lipstick, from their wonder woman line - so yes it came with the wonder woman packaging and everything.

Since I'm going to be writing about lipstick, I have a few tips for those of you with dry, chapped lips. When you don't take care of your lips, it may end up looking like this...

I don't even think this is chapped lips anymore. Gross, gross, gross.

And when chapped lips "happen", I do this:

 
So let's avoid this. There are a few things that you could do - this also works before putting on any lipstick to achieve the cleanest, neatest, smoothest look possible...

1. Exfoliate
Exfoliating your lips is easy! For one, while you're brushing your teeth in the morning, gently brush your lips in small, circular motion (not your whole lip at once, bottom then top or vice-versa - be reasonable). This will help get rid of dry, chapped skin that's peeling off. You can also use a towel and gently rub your lips to exfoliate them. NEVER BITE THEM OFF. It's painful and you look like you've been in a catfight with all that blood and scab. Plus it's painful to smile :(

2. Balm it up
After exfoliating your lips, put some lip balm on it and leave it on for 3-5 minutes. This will help give your lips that extra smoothness and make it happy, healthy and ready for lipstick application! Leaving it overnight will also make it nice and smooth in the morning. I use this "The Face Shop's Plus+1 Lipcare Cream with Vitamin". It smells like oranges and does wonder to my lips.

3. Dehydrate
This is pretty simple and straightforward. If your lips are chapped, you're probably dehydrated. DRINK SOME WATER. Eight glass a day is recommended but you could always go over that :) Keep your body and skin radiant and toxin-free.

So moving on to the actual product...

Ciao,
Tammie.
