You may remember that I reviewed some Pedi Sox last year (and had my very first giveaway!) - if not, you can read my initial review here. Today I have the new product from PediSox, their softening cream concentrate, SofSpa, for review. (Warning for those of an anti-feet disposition, this post does contain my feet. And I spent my teens in pointe shoes, so it's not the prettiest of sights.)
I have been using this cream on my feet every evening for the last week or so, and I can safely say my feet feel great! It's not quite sandals weather yet, but it's not too far away. Like many people, I've been ignoring my feet over the winter, and have hard heels and dry skin. But I've really noticed the difference since using this cream for the last week. My skin is a lot smoother and softer and I'm almost ready for sandals!
I also have a new pair of PediSox to try - I LOVE these leopard print ones! Aren't they cute? These are from the Ultra range, and cost £13 on the PediSox UK website. I love pedi-sox; they're such a great (and simple) idea, that lets you paint your toenails whilst not getting cold feet. At the same time, they're also designed to help moisturisers and creams to absorb more quickly.
The SofSpa cream is really nice - it's quite thick and rich-feeling, but not at all greasy. The fragrance is light and pleasant. The formula contains natural moisturisers like macadamia nut, olive seeds, rosehip, evening primrose and calendula. It absorbs into the skin really quickly and smoothly, without leaving any greasy traces. I've been using it on my hands too, and I really like it. The cream isn't available on the UK website yet by the looks of it, because it's a brand new launch, but it is available on the US one, at $14 for the tube size I have.
The polish on my toes by the way, is Jacava Red Velvet.

Today I'm really excited to be able to show you some Pedi-Sox! I saw these on an American blog a while ago and thought they looked awesome. I was determined to buy some, but then found they only sell in the States, and was really disappointed. Well, now they're launching in the UK, and the lovely people at Pedi-Sox have sent me some to review! (Warning - there are feet in this post! And I spent most of my teens in pointe shoes, so my toes aren't pretty!)
Pedi-Sox are a genius idea - socks with the toes cut off, so you can paint your toes whilst still having nice warm feet! Simple, but so clever! I was sent two pairs for review - the Pink Stripe from the Original range (nice and warm!) and the Black and White Polka Dot from the lightweight California Weight range.
The pink ones are fabulous - really soft and cosy, and even with my cold feet and cold house, I had my toes out all evening quite comfortably. First I soaked my feet and gave my heels a bit of a scrub. Then I smothered my feet in moisturiser and put on my socks (they're designed not only to let you paint your toes, but also to help creams and treatments etc absorb into the skin). On my toes is Barry M Red Glitter, by the way.
Next are the lightweight socks - and I think I like these even more! These are really fine and soft, and so comfy.
My feet feel great - and even though my toes are not going to be seeing the light of day any time soon (it's still very cold here) it's nice to know my toes are all sparkly inside my shoes.
I love these! Looking at their range (click here for the company website, with all the different colours and styles) I really want the leopard print ones! In the UK, these are going to be sold from a company called Only Fingers and Toes. At the moment, they can only sell in their spa in Croydon, but their online store will be launching in the next couple of weeks - I'll let you know when it's up and running!
However - if you really really want some now... wait around for my next post! I have some very exciting news!
These socks were sent for review purposes, but words and opinions are entirely my own.
