Crabtree and Evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy

*Old packaging is photographed*

Hello my lovelies, after another long break, i'm back to blogging again. I thought i'd kick off with a hand cream review, because honestly, with winter just around the corner, hand creams are one of my staple products! 

Firstly i want to discuss the packaging of this Crabtree and Evelyn hand cream. It's absolutely beautiful! I know this is the old packaging, but the new one is equally as nice. I think the main hing i like about the packaging is the vintage feel, tied with pastel colours and flowers. It's just so Leanne! The packaging itself is made of a metal (unsure which) which makes the product feel all the more worthy of my pennies!

Usually, i tend to avoid rose scent because i find them extremely over powering and much too floral for my liking, but after i smelt this, i was converted! Someone actually bought me this for my Birthday (and i wouldn't have smelt it otherwise) but i'm in love! It's just a really light adaptation of rose, and i think that's why i really like it! 

As for the texture, it's very thick and creamy, but it's soaks in fairly well so take into account the consistency! It leaves my hands feeling really nourished and soft and helps them to avoid the winter cracked skin, which usually begins to set in in October time!

Overall Product Rating:

Price: 6/10  Product: 8/10  Packaging: 10/10

Hope you enjoyed today's post, and be on the look out for Update/Get to know me better a post coming later in the week!

Skincare Update

Hello my lovelies, so today i thought that i'd share with you my favorite skincare products this week! 

LUSH Tea Tree Toner Water: I bought this very recently from LUSH, and haven't had it long enough to review yet, but i can definitely see a difference in my skin! It's fairly cheap too, which is always great!

 Nivea Express Hydration Primer: If you saw my recent review on this (CLICK HERE) you'll be able o see that i really love this stuff! 

BeneFit It's Potent Eye cream: I got this luxury sample size eye cream, in a benefit skincare set, and it really seems to hydrate my eyes, which I'm always a fan of aha!

Nivea Express Hydration Primer

Hello my lovelies! As you may already know, I have relatively oily skin, and i hate it! So recently i've been on the search for a really good moisturiser, and i think I've found it... 

Nivea Express Hydration Primer!

Firstly, i want to talk about the packaging. I love the glass jar, as to me glass shows quality! However, the box is noticibly larger than the actual jar, so much so that the actual product is positioned on a platform of cardboard. But the box is very informative, and tells you everything that the product intends to do, which i really like!

As for the moisturising side of the product, for oily skin its very good. Even after just the first use, i noticed that my skin felt softer, and more smooth! When first applied, i feel like my skin is having a really good drink. It also leaves me feeling much fresher (I have no idea how it does this, as when i wake up i look like a monster!) I think probably the best thing about the moisurising side of things is that, i'm not left with my usual shine, when applied as part of my skincare regime! 

In terms of the primer, its okay. If I'm going out with no base makeup on, then i can tell a noticable difference. My skin looks much smoother, and less discoloured! It also really helps my eye makeup to stay intact, without creasing (which i have a really big problem with!). I don't think it helps my foundation to sit any better though, but it doesn't make it any worse either! 

Overall i really like this! I would definitely recommend it with anybody who has hydration problems or sensitive skin, as it moisurises well, without leaving too much extra 'oil'. 

Overall rating 7/10
