Winter must have products. (Part2)

So this is part 2 of my winter saviour products.  (Look at my previous post to check out my must have reccomendations for lip products for the winter). 

This time I am going to have a quick look at hand cream for dry hands. Rather then naming a few, I will recommend an affordable one vs abit of a splurge. 

My affordable go to hand cream has to be neutrogena hand cream concentrated. (This has a red top, they also have a an original one that has blue top). 

What I love about this cream is that a small amount goes a long way. However for people with more dry hands and or chapped hands, they will need more then the recommended dab amount.  It does however really work soothing the hands (and also has no scent , perfect for extra sensitive skin.) The only negative point for this is that straight after application it can leave the hands a little greasy, but this does not last long. This is currently available at boots online at  a 25% off price, of £2.77, for 50 ml which I definitely think is worth it. 

The other cream that I would highly recommend is Bobbi Brown's extra Hand cream.  Know working in the cosmetics industry and constantly using Ipa, alcohol sanitizer and constantly washing hands can take it's toll and leave my hands very dry. But this cream is an instant moisture burst for my hands. It absorbs really well into the skin, and does not leave any greasy residue behind. It has a nice soft scent aswell. This is available at £22 for 50ml at many large retailers and online. 

What I do like about the creams is (other then the fact that you can choose one depending on budget) that they are both better for slightly different reasons. The Neutrogena is Better for extra dry chapped hands and soothes, whereas the Bobbi Brown cream is better for instant hydration for dry hands. 

If you have any go to products, let me know. Also I'm thinking of doing a post on affordable vs splurge products. What do you think? And any areas you would like me to cover e.g lipsticks. 

Feel free to leave a comment and feedback.

Until next time. Xoxo

My must have lip products.

So with the weather being so cold outside it cannot be good for the skin. Especially the lips, I don't know about you but my lips tend to be very dry n flaky this time of the year. So here I'm going to show a few of my beauty must haves, so you can have a beautiful pout all year round. 

Product number one is lush's lip scrub (my fave is bubblegum, it smells and tastes like candyfloss.  ;-) 

All you have to do is use your finger and scrub on your lips. This helps exfoliate any flaky skin, aswell as adding moisture. 
I do recommend that you store the pot upside down, so that the oils don't settle at the bottom, because then your beads at the top will lose the moisturize (imagine when you take a big sip on a slushy and it loses it's colour, that's what you get). 
This product can be used day or night and is a bargain at £5.50. 

My go to lip balm has to be nivea essential care (they have different ones in the range but I prefer the blue one). This lip balm really helps to heal and soothe dry chapped lips and can be used any time of day, I tend to use it before I go to bed. 

Another product that I absolutely looove is macs lip conditioner. 

What's the difference between this and the balm you say? Well the conditioner helps repair and condition lips and helps seal in the moisture. Also the lip conditioner can be used with or without lipsticks. I love a good matte lipstick, but normally find they can sit abit dry andbitty on the lips, but this makes the lipstick look and sit smoothly on my lips. 

My final go to lip product is accessorize lip balm and tint. These jumbo pencils not only give a lovely natural tint to the lips but also moisturize at the same time. These are perfect for everyday wear and have some lovely colours in the range (couldn't help myself and purchased a few) and if you head over to accessorize site right now you can grab them for a bargain price of £1.50.  

Let me know if you try any of these and how they work for you? Or if you have any go to products, I'm always on the look out to try something new. 

Until next time. Xoxo
