Burt's Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm

Burt's Bees Squeezable Beeswax Lip Balm*

Tip my handbag upside down and you're probably going to be faced with at least 17 different lip products. I'm not quite sure how they build up so much but each week I have to have a good clear out and keep just a small handful in there. 
In those products there is ALWAYS a lip balm. I cannot go anywhere without one and I actually think my lip are a little bit dependant on them now - opps!

When I heard the Burt's Bees were releasing a squeezable version of their original beeswax lip balm I knew I had to try it.
 I've used a few of there lip products before and although they were good at fighting off the dry and chapped problems they weren't overly moisturising or hydrating. This on the other hand is the complete opposite.
The balm has a 100% natural formula. 
Containing Beeswax (duh) and Vitamin E this stuff is so much smoother and softer than the other versions and the slanted tip makes it super easy to apply. 
Unlike the previous products you can actually feel this on your lips like a gloss which I love plus it isn't sticky in the slightest. It also has a small zing of peppermint which is actually the best feature for me as it helps put me off snacking! 

I have been using this non-stop and can see already that it won't be long until I have to buy a replacement - my lips feel hydrated and moisturised creating the perfect base for all my summer shades!

Burt's Bees squeezable lip balm is priced at £4.99 and you can find it right about... here!

Palmers New Coconut Oil Formula Range

You may well remember last week I posted about the new body lotion I had been using and how I had fallen madly in love with it! (here)
Well since then the lovely people at Palmers have sent me more of the new range to have a little goosey gander at - exciting right? #thankyou

I am obsessed with coconut oil and this range is yet again another huge HIT for Palmers in my opinion!
 I thought it was only fair that I gave you a little look at the collection that has been released....

Left to Right :

Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Body Oil*, Body Lotion*, Body Cream* & Head Cream*

The body oil is something I probably wouldn't normally pick up when shopping for myself - I'm always drawn more to lotions and things that I know will sink it's the skin and not leave it greasy. Well, I am so glad I've managed to try something different here as my thoughts on oils has completely changed. This stuff is lovely and perfect for popping on before leaving the house when I've got my legs out!

The body lotion I have already talked about in my previous post so you can read all about that right..... here!

The thickest of the bunch is the body cream. In a 125g tub just a tiny bit of this rich cream goes a whole long way. A little blob covers my whole arm (even my bingo wings!) and it's only £5 - cheaper than the body shop right?! This is perfect for helping the skin stay smooth and hydrated - and keep that tan! (which I WILL get this year!)

Now the product I know that I am going to use the most - the hand cream. My hands get so, so dry - especially with the amount of hand gel I use daily. This is the perfect product to have in my handbag 24/7 and it smells divine! 

So there's a little sneak peek for you - this range is out NOW and I highly recommend it to all your coconut lovers!

POTW #34 : Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Hand Cream

Oooo cheeky US product alert! 
I'm am totally and utterly obsessed with Bath & Body Works and their magical aray of beautiful smelling things. 
Each time I've been to a store I've just walked in like a kid in a candy store not knowing where on earth to start looking! If it wasn't for luggage allowance I would have bought back thousands of candles and fabulous products but unfortualey for me I could only buy what I knew I could squeeze in.... which wasn't alot :( (you may have spotted this in my Florida Haul!)

This was a must have for me.
Sweet pea is one of my favourite scents from BABW and with the weather taking a turn for the worst back here in the UK I knew hand cream would be one of my go-to products for the next couple of months.
I love having a hand cream with me in my handbag, as well as being a yummy smelling pick me up this stuff helps keeps my hands hydrated - I'm a big over-user of anti-bacterial hand gels and along with the cold weather this sometimes leads them to becoming dry and sore! 

With shea butter and vitamin E this cream leaves my hands soft as a baby's behind and with the sweet pea fragrance has them smelling fab for ages after! It's like perfume for my hands! 
Not greasy in the slightest and rubs in quick and easy, I'm always re-applying this throughout my work days and am always surprised how long the scent lasts for!
I can't quite remember how much this cost me.... how on I'l do some research online...... *a few minutes later* ... it was $5! Such a bargain! I'm going to have a look online on ebay etc to see i I can order some more of these hand creams in different scents - I love it more than I love Soap & Glory's Hand Food.... that's saying something!

The Body Shop Haul

So just before Christmas The Body Shop had a crazy good deal on on their website.
 I'm not kidding this offer was the stuff of dreams .... 50% off everything and free delivery over £5 - no-one could possibly say no!

The Body Shop is a place I haven't shopped at in years! Even though I love the products and know how fab the quality is, it is just a shop I never run to first... although after this little shopping spree I think that is going to change!

 Now the first thing I think everyone falls in love with at The Body Shop is the body butters and I think my love for body butters started with The Body Shop. So of course that was the first section of the website I headed to. Shea is one of my favourite scents for body products so of course this was a must! This stuff smells incredible and melts straight into the skin, body butter heaven.

 If you've read my blog before then you know I'm all about smells ... so when I saw the "ginger sparkle" Christmas range I had to pick at least one thing up! This is a yummy shower gel which smells delicious, I cannot wait to start using it and it being a 250ml bottle I'm sure this will last a good while!
Vitamin E is a classic, smells great and works great so at half price I thought I'd grab some. This stuff is great as a night cream, I apply this after my hydraluron for fabulously hydrated skin by morning!

I couldn't do a sale shop without getting make-up could I! This is one of the new Colour Crush lipsticks from The Body Shop! Half price this badboy was only £5 and this lipstick is such great quality! A great colour which lasts with a super moisturising feel - well done Body Shop I'll be buying more!

Not only are these soaps really pretty but they smell great too and were only just over £1 each! The ginger smells just like the shower gel I bought, this is going to go straight into my bathroom!

 Lip balms are something I cannot live without at this time of year and with the cute packaging and tiny price tag I decided one wasn't enough. Strawberry & Plum are the two I picked up and they both smell lovely! These are great for chucking in my handbag or coat pocket and keeping dry, chapped lips at bay!

Last but no means least is a mask. I love picking up things like this to check out and give myself a little pamper. This is a Vitamin E moisture mask and I thought it would be great to try out with the weather being so awful and miserable these past few weeks I think my skin needs a good moisture treatment!

So there we have it, my first Body Shop haul (and it only came to about £15!)....  I have totally fallen back in love with this brand - no doubt you'll be seeing alot more of it on here soon!
