Burts Bees Banana and Beeswax Hand Cream

Burts Bees

Beeswax and Banana Hand Cream

£9.99

Boots

My hands are as dry as the Sahara desert and need some moisturising, scratch that some SERIOUS moisturising 

I've been using the Soap and Glory Hand Food but it wasn't quite intensive enough so I went on the search for something more powerful, something to fulfill my needs

Burts Bees has never failed me before and I've been relying on their products for years now

So when I saw this little glass pot of goodness I instantly snapped it off, the 3 for 2 helped too...

I love the packaging, glass pots just feel so much more luxurious than any plastic tubs and the Burts Bees branding is really cute

Now the scent of this hand cream is just amaze-balls

A bit like banana milkshake but not an artificially sweet smell but quite natural

It contains aloe vera and vitamin E to moisturise skin and beeswax to help seal and protect your hands from the elements...perfect for this freakishly cold weather at the moment (it's May for goodness sake!)

I have this on my desk at work and apply it when I have the chance

mainly on my cuticles as they're the worst bits on my hands, and I always get comments on the smell

It's almost like it's that sugar hit you need mid afternoon...calorie free!

Any other intensive hand creams I'm missing out on?

Love

Burts Bees Tips and Toes Kit

On a recent wander around my local Waitrose I noticed they stock some high end beauty brands; Burts Bees, Korres, Neals Yard to name a few. I only wish I knew about this when I worked there years ago and had staff discount!

I picked up this kit for a bargainous £8 reduced from £12.99

I've always loved the Burts Bees range and wanted to try a few more things

Previously I've used body and face moisturisers so thought a kit of mini bits and pieces would be good to give the brand a bit more testing. 

In the pack you get:
Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream (7g)
Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil (4.25g)
Burt's Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Grapeseed Oil Hand Cream (20g)
Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream (20g)
Burt's Bees Hand Salve (8.5g)
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (8.5g)

I've been keeping the hand salve next to the bed as a night time treatment. Working in a tile shop around drying adhesive and grout all week makes my hands and cuticles so dry! I'm trying to fix this at the moment so having this where I can remember to put it on every night is really helpful. It's quite a thick salve and takes a while to soak in which is why I apply it last thing at night so as not to make my phone/clothes greasy. 

The lip balm has always been a favourite, I've often re-bought the original bees wax kind and love how moisturising it is without being heavy on the lips.

The other products I am also loving using they are all lovely scented and very moisturising. My fingers and tootsies are feeling very pampered indeed.

If you see this set in your local Waitrose I would definitely pick it up as £8 to try out six different Burts Bees products is an absolute bargain!

Love
