So January is over.. (thank the lordy, January does depress me SO much!) but it's still quite chilly and vair windy down here in the south-west. Icy wind = nasty cracked and dry lips..not goode. Soooo... I have two products here that never fail to deliver much needed moisture and that barrier between my rather feeble body and the harsh environment.
Firstly we have Elizabeth Arden's Eight hour skin protectant.. not to be confused with the eight hour cream. I love this stuff.. seriously. It is a bit pricey BUT i did find it in my local TJHughes for about £8 or so, so Hurrah!..sorry i can't remember the exact price! I know that some people may not be as thrilled because it does have a very distinct scent. It's a kind of medicated scent...but not in a scary doctor's anesthetic way...but i love it! I think the scent is kinda soothing. Plus, the tube is massive and a little goes a long way... so i know this will last me forever. Not only that... but this little guy is definitely a multi-tasker! Its great on dry skin anywhere...and i mean anywhere! I love to massage a little amount into my cuticles every night and voila...no more manky, peeling, sore fingers!
Next up, we have a Korres lip butter... this one in guava. I know that there are quite a few other flavours.. which I'd love to try after I'm finished with this pot, but I am honestly loving the guava one... it smells incredible. Really smooth, moisturising, creamy and long lasting. I know it looks kinda white and scary but it goes on more sheer don't worry! It does however mute out my lips ever so slightly...but I like that, because i have pretty pigmented lips...so it does make them look kinda nudey :)
Anyway..i hope this was an interesting read! I do also love Carmex...and i know so does just about everyone else...but the reason why i don't love it quite as much...is because it stings. Not just stings...but it hurts! None of that business with these two products though...so I'm afraid my faithful cherry carmex has been replaced!

ReplyDeletei can't really describe what guava smells like!! It's kinda one of those things that you have to smell to understand.. i could attempt to describe it to you...but it would be futile :p i can say that it's very sweet and certainly yummy! Definitely take a look a the lip butters..they're really a must have for me (:
I agree, January is just SO depressing. I'd love to try that lip butter, really!
