A Few Small Beauty Purchases

As Feel Unique was having a 10% discount across the entire website, I decided to make an order. The first item I picked up was a hand cream that I have been dying to try for ages. L'Occitane's shea butter hand cream is raved about online and was recently mentioned by Lisa Eldridge in one of her gift guides. This cream contains 20% shea butter and has been formulated for dry skin. I suffer with very dry hands in the winter, so am hoping this has good results. I also really like the traditional and simple packaging. A 30ml tube was £8 (before discount).

The other item I chose from the site was Caudalie's 'Instant Foaming Cleanser.' I love their hand creams so really wanted to try some of their skin care as I know how popular their Beauty Elixir is. I use always follow my micellar water cleanse with a foaming or cream cleanser, so thought this would be great. The product also contains grapes and sage, as well as being free of parabens and sulphates. I ordered a 50ml travel size of the product, to try, which was £6.75. 

I also picked up two new additions to my Real Techniques brush collection, as they were Buy One Get One Half Price in Boots. I selected the 'Miracle Complexion Sponge' and the 'Shading Brush.' I have been wanting to try the sponge for a while and I plan to use the shading brush for concealer, to really blend it. I am really pleased with the other brushes I have from Real Techniques, so I am really excited to try these and see how I get on with them. The sponge retails for £5.99 and the brush for £7.99 at Boots.
