Hands down. It was a surprise.

So hello all.
Especially to the new followers I have picked up recently.
I hope your all well.

Now for the last six months or so. I have been trying to run down my body lotion collection because I had about fifteen and I was running out of room for them and in the same box where I keep my body lotions are also my hand creams.
Now I thought I had just a couple.

So when the empty box revealed that I had six. I was quite shocked.
Now six isn't a huge number but for someone you thought I had two, three tops.
It's quite a shock really. Especially has I don't use them everyday.
Now in order.
Top Row: Lush smitten
Bottom row from left to right: L'occitane hand cream, Avon signature silk hand cream, Johnson's 24 hour moisture hand cream, Avon planet spa hand cream and Bare by Elle Macpherson hand cream.

Now my two favourites have to be these two.
I have the L'Occitane in my bag at all times because my job involves a lot of hand washing so my hands get constantly dry. I love the neutral smell, it's also not greasy and soaks in really quickly. Which I like in the day. My only issue is that the lid does tend to go missing or not screw on properly, which is a bit annoying.

You can get it here.

The Lush smitten hand cream. Smells like marzipan (I smell I adore) and is a little more thicker. So I tend to use that at night. It also lasts for ages. I have had a pot since Christmas and I have hardly made a dent. The only problem is that you can only get this Lush product online now not in stores.


A special mention has to go to this though.
The smell is actually divine and it gives your hands a beautiful glow. There are also loads of other Avon products in the signature silk range. Like body lotions and body wash.
The best thing about this hand cream is the price.
At the moment is it only £1.55
What a bargain.
You can get it here.

So what has this made me realise.
Well maybe it's time to do what I did with the body lotions and until I get down to two.
No more hand creams for Tiff.
So I think I will be using hand cream everyday now. :)

Does anyone else have lots of hand creams or is it just me?

New products part 3

Hey bloggers
Hope you having a lovely day/night wherever you are.

Just thought I would show you a few products I have bought in the last week.
Now last week was pay day so I finally got to treat myself to some goodies but I am off to Sheffield for the day on Wednesday, so I will probably have to add to this list.

This is just some of the lush stuff I bought.
The moon on the stick bath bomb and Twilight shower gel are Lush forum products that you can buy for basically being a huge lush fan.
I haven't used the moon on a stick yet but the twilight shower gel is a beautiful malt and lavender shower gel and after I used it I slept like a baby.
Gorgeous.

Big and Retread are hair products.
Big is a sea salt and lemon shampoo and I use it on nights when I'm going out. Basically it makes your hair huge.
I love to back comb my hair and the sea salt gives you some huge volume so you don't need to spend hours with the brush, plus the tub lasts a good while.

Retread is a hair mask which smells beautiful. It smelt so good that even after I washed and conditioned my hair I could still smell it. It is also so nourishing and makes the hair so soft and smooth.

Volcano is a foot mask and scrub. Now lately my feet have been awful. I just can't get them into nice shape. So I bought this to try and sort them out.
I will be doing a post later in the week with foot products (including volcano) to see if these products can really make a difference to my poor feet.

I also got later in the week.
A brand new hand serum, some L'occitane hand and foot cream.

The hand serum is called tiny hands and is full of shea butter and smells like flowery lemons (Yes that is the best way to describe it). I actually can't stop using it. I love the fact you can really control how much you use and not only is it going to last me ages but it's a bit harder for me to lose.
(Hand cream and lip balms go missing a lot in my care)

The L'occitane products are 30ml hand and foot cream. The hand cream contains 20% shea butter and although doesn't have much of a smell. Its got the multi tasking nature of being thick but not too greasy. It's also small enough to fit in my handbag, which I like.

The foot cream is 15% shea butter and also has a slight spicy smell. It also has arnica in which, helps with bruising and swelling so it will be good for feet.
I tried a little bit earlier and I feel like it's thick enough to tackle my poorly, horrible feet.

I will do a smaller post if I buy anymore products/
Let me know if you have tried any of these products.
I will surely tell you about them more in later posts.
Comments welcome.
