With Autumn/Winter now officially here, out come the darker nail polishes and the hand creams.
I always use hand creams but during this time of the year I have to use a really good, thick hand cream and be vigilante with it otherwise my hands tend to go really dry and itchy - not good!
So when I received these goodies from Crabtree & Evelyn I was very much looking forward to trying them out.
Nantucket Briar Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy Cream*
This rich cream is made with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Lavender Oil and Glycerin which make it perfect for soothing and moisturising.
It has a lovely scent of Briar Roses, Bergamot, Fresh Greens, Vanilla and Amber.
Whilst using this my hands have definitely stayed nice and nourished during the weird weather we seem to have here, one minute it's cold and raining then it's sunny and back again, so this is a major plus for me as it's this kind of weather that really tends to mess my hands up. My partner actually gets the same problem and his have actually started flaring up so that proves that this hand cream has really helped me out.
The scent I really like. It has more of a clean but slightly floral smell to it and the great thing is that the scent actually lasts a while to, I can put some on and an hour later I can still smell it if I bring my hands up close to my face.
For a travel size (25g) it is £5.00 and you can buy it from the Crabtree & Evelyn Website.
They also do a bigger 100g for £15.00, which you can find here.
Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer In Blueberry*
I love darker nail shades during these Autumn/Winter months and as I am not really a black nail polish wearer, dark blues are perfect.
This polish has been made without camphor, dibutyl phthalathes, formaldehyde and toluene which is a big bonus and it also reinforces and protect's your nails.
It is a lovely deep blue with a lovely slight shimmer running through it. It only took two coats to get a nice opaque look and with a top coat it actually lasted 4-5 days without chipping which is fantastic.
This is £6.00 and again you can buy this from the Crabtree & Evelyn website.
Overall you can feel the quality of the products and the care that goes into them. I have recently found out that they sell Crabtree & Evelyn products in Marks And Spencer's so I will certainly be having a look to see what products they do in there. I never think of going in Marks And Spencer's, I just think of clothes to be honest so I think I maybe shopping in there a little more often now as there are so many hand creams and bath and body items I want to try since looking about the Crabtree & Evelyn website.
Have you tried these products yet, if so what did you think? Or will you be trying them in the future? Let me know your thought's in the comments below.
