Looks like everyone and their dog is getting into the whole “foot file shaped like an egg” thing right now. Where DO they get their ideas, I wonder?

This one is by Tweezerman (yes, the same Tweezerman that makes such excellent, er, tweezers) and it’s called “Pedro Too”, so kudos to them for resisting the impulse to use the word “egg” in the name, even although they DID manage to get “ped” in there.

This can be used on either wet or dry skin, is pink and is £12, which means I’m probably not going to forsake my (cheaper) Ped Egg for it unless someone can convince me it’s a whole lot better than it. Anyone care to give it a try? (Note: not you, Microplane. Your comments will continue to be deleted…)

Tweezerman Pedro Too foot file, £12 at ASOS

As lovely as they look and sound, Butter London's products have always been a little too pricey for me to justify purchasing, and I'm afraid that's still the case here, even although their Pedicure Collection has been reduced by over £20 at ASOS.com. The price drop brings it down to £40, and three products are included:

Silk Stockings shimmering gel for legs
Stiletto Stick – for cracked heels – lovely!
And Pumps Spritz, which is a cooling spray for your legs and feet.

These sound like just the trio to get your feet and legs into sandal-worthy shape for summer (if you'll excuse me sounding like an issue of Cosmo for a moment), and if you think they're worth the price, you can buy them here.

Dollydagger has long been one of my favourite websites when it comes to retro clothes shopping, so you can imagine my delight when I discovered they have a beauty section too. There’s only a very small number of items in it, unfortunately, but I instantly started coveting these fruity looking foot files, which come in the shape of apple and orange slices. Yes, I suppose the idea of rubbing fruit on your feet is a little bit strange now I come to think of it, but hey, they’ll look good in the bathroom and they only cost £3 each. Get them here.

I’ve long believed that nothing could tear me away from my beloved Microplane Foot File (expensive, but worth every penny as far as I’m concerned), but I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about the Ped Egg recently, and I’m wondering if it’s worth giving it a go, too.

This is certainly much cheaper than the Microplane, at just $10, and those icky dead skin cells (hope you weren’t eating!) are collected inside the "egg", Microplane do a file with a container too, but the one I have is the regular version, which allows those gross bits to fall out onto the floor. Yeah. Isn’t that a lovely image I’ve just put into your head. You can thank me later.

You can buy this direct from the Ped Egg site, or pick one up at places like Target. Anyone tried it?

  Almost every time I leave the house during the summer months, I seem to see women wearing beautiful, strappy sandals – the effect of which is totally ruined by the pair of horrible, cracked heels hanging out the back of them.

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re going to be flashing your feet at all, it’s essential to make sure they’re looking smooth and crack-free, which is why a product like Butter London’s Stiletto Stick becomes a must-have during the summer months.

This comes in a solid stick formula, and is a non-greasy treatment for dry heels, which promises to make your feet look stiletto-ready once more.

I haven’t tried this myself, so all I can say is that for £25 it better be good…
