HAPPY FRIDAY to you!

Todays post is part of the Fanciful Friday series here on Profound Feline. Fanciful Friday is a series where the imagination and fantastical whimsy of beauty is shared.

I could not resist in posting these stunningly glamorous vintage cosmetics advertisements, including brands like Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Coty, and Helena Rubenstein. They instantly transport you back in time and capture the enchanting femininity of 1950's glam era perfectly. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Fanciful Friday!

This weekend for me is going to be quite relaxed - a bit of family time, some shopping, and study too. BUT I will make some time to paint my nails in the sunshine, splash on a bright lip, and treat myself to a well needed face mask on Sunday evening.

How do you add a little glamour into your weekend?

I would love to know :) Talk to me in the comments section below.

| ELES | Brighton Nail Collection | How To 'Brighten' Up Your Look This Winter |

- The ELES Brighton Collection -

'Be Seaside Chic with the NEW Brighton Collection from ELES!'

ELES Cosmetics recently released a NEW luxurious nail polish collection of twelve vibrant pastel colours 

inspired by the bold and brightly coloured seaside huts of the UK's infamous Brighton Beach.

Here are the gorgeous colours of the ELES Brighton Collection below. They feature some
 beautiful seaside themed names! I secretly love it when products have sweet names. 

Also, a special thank you to ELES for sending such a stunning package. I love my personalised beach
 towel and cannot wait to take it on a trip to the beach soon. 

Come on summer - we miss you!

Left to Right / Top Row: Deckchair Blue, Lime Sorbet, Royal Pavilion Red, Coral Cafe, 

Juicy Fruit, Sunset on the Pier, Teal 'n' Wheel.

Bottom Row: Berry Smoothie, Peppermint Cream, Peach Pebble, Not A Cloud, 

Dip in the Sea.

The Brighton Collection, like all ELES nail collections have been designed to provide

 a healthy and safe alternative to creating beautiful nails. 

The entire ELES range proudly boasts a '5 FREE' Formula:

NO DBP

NO Toluene

NO Formaldehyde

NO Formaldehyde Resin

NO Camphor

The above chemicals are 5 toxic ingredients that are commonly found in nail enamels. Scary indeed!

The ELES nail polishes are a dream to use! 

ELES enamel formulas are hand mixed in small batches to help maintain the polish integrity. 

They are fast-drying, durable, and from my experience resistant to fade and streaking issues. 

I have found ELES nail polish offers an outstanding polish experience.

Clockwise from top I am wearing ELES Brighton Collection polishes in:

Royal Pavilion Red

Peppermint Cream

Berry Smoothie

Above I am wearing ELES' Sunset on the Pier & deciding between blue hues. 

As seen from the pictures above, the colour is bold, vibrant, glossy, and wears beautifully. 

Application-wise, 1 coat is all that is needed from ELES nail polishes. Although, personally

 I love to apply 2 quick & light coats as I find it dries and wears longer to boot. The longevity of the ELES Brighton 

Collection is impressive and on some occasions I have experienced 4-5 days with NO chipping (without a topcoat). 

Even longer with a topcoat - WOW!

ELES products are available online at www.elescosmetics.com.au 

AND in selected beauty salons and days spas nationally. 

On-counter now. RRP: $15.00 AUD

| Top 6 | Bedside Beauty | Favourites |

I always love to know what beauty products people keep at their bedside. 

So I thought, why not share with you my Bedside Beauty favourites that I reach for every night.

All who know me know that I love beauty products, and bedtime is no exception. Especially at night I love to have my favourite 

pampering products at arms reach in those few minutes before I snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.

Almost all my favourite Bedside Beauty products are moisture-enriching, helping to nourish and hydrate my skin overnight. I begin by concentrating on hydrating my face by applying a rollerball of organic cold-pressed rosehip oil around the delicate eye area. The product is both cooling and nourishing, sinking into my skin like a dream. Click here to read a full review of the *RosehipPlus Rosehip Oil Skin Boost Rollerball. 

If further hydration is required I use Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant on any dry skin areas (around my nose, forehead, even elbows and dry cuticles). I then go in and apply lashings of my favourite lip treatment, the Nivea Caramel Cream Lip Butter. Not only does it smell like creamy caramel on your lips but you wake with a super soft and luscious pout in the morning.

Moving next to body hydration, I turn to LUSH. Even though I apply body cream daily post-shower I still like extra hydration at night. The *LUSH Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream is a new product to my favourites, yet a quick love affair has developed. Applied to the breast and decolletage, Lovely Jubblies promises to lighten and firm skin. The scent of Tigerlilly and Jasmine is relaxing and delicate enough to apply at bedtime. I absolutely adore this product, and a little goes a long way. After that it is nice to apply a thick blob of hand cream, bringing it all the way up the forearm. Your hands do so much work for you daily, along with winter flu-season hand-washing rituals. Therefore it's nice to re-hydrate your hands at night. I use the *Kosmea Rose Hand Cream. To read my quick review & thoughts on the Kosmea Rose Hand Cream click here. 

Lastly, scent is known to be very closely connected to relaxation. I am in no way a troubled sleeper but I do sometimes find it challenging to drift off. I have noticed I experience a deeper sleep when aided by relaxing aromas. Be it burning a scented candle, or applying perfume to my pulse point. At the moment I am loving the Victoria's Secret mist in Love Spell. It has a beautiful cherry blossom and peach bouquet that veils the bedroom and even the bed sheets. Sweet dreams everyone.

Do you have a little stash of products you love beside your bed? 

What are your favourite bedside pamper products?
