Advantages: Slightly softer feet, only a little needed
Disadvantages: Pricey, average results

...containing lots of mini sized Burt's Bees products. When my usual foot lotion ran out recently, I got quite excited, as it meant I could start using my tube of Burt's Bees foot lotion! As far as I'm aware there are two types of foot lotion made by Burt's Bees - coconut and peppermint. The one I have, and therefore the one I am reviewing, is the peppermint fragrance. The lotion comes in a tube with an orangey-yellow background and pictures and writing ...
...in. Most of the Burt's Bees products are made with mostly natural ingredients, and this one tells me on the front that it is 100% natural, so you know that your skin is not being subjected to any harsh chemicals. There is a long list of ingredients in this lotion - peppermint oil, parsley oil, tea tree oil, menthol, and witch hazel to name just a few. The peppermint oil is very cooling on the skin, which is why it is often used in foot products, ... Read review

Advantages: hands look and feel great
Disadvantages: I hated the almond smell

...containing lots of travel size Burt's Bees products, as it was a brand I had wanted to try for ages, and I thought it would be a good way to get a feel of the range. One of the products in the kit, was their Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Crème. This product comes in a round glass jar with a cream/off-white screw top lid which (bizarrely) features a picture of a cow! I guess it's something to do with the fact it contains milk or a milk enzyme to be exact ...
...One thing I like about Burt's Bees products, is that they are made with mostly natural ingredients, and most of the products display what percentage of them is natural on the packaging. This particular one is 98% natural. I won't bore you with a full ingredients list (but if you're really interested you can find it on the Burt's Bees website), I will however give a quick rundown of the main ingredients and what their benefits are on the skin…. -Sweet ...

Advantages: Small, economical, kills 99.9% of germs, convenient
Disadvantages: By following day, very sore, red patches on back of hands

Cuticura Original Hand hygiene gel - great idea, but beware if you have sensitive skin I bought a 100ml bottle of this to keep in my car, as I wanted to be able to make sure my hands were clean and germ-free when eating my lunch between peripatetic appointments in a hectic working day. It is a small and convenient bottle and is easy and quick to use and, as the bottle says, it isn't sticky and takes only seconds to dry. As you only need a small ...
...your hands certainly feel fresh and clean when you have used it. According to the label, it kills over 99.9% of germs within 15 seconds and I thought I'd found the ideal solution for cleanliness and hygiene with my lunch - especially as the only loo I have access to at lunchtime is a none too savoury public convenience, where soap has never been a feature! Sadly, for me, there is one huge drawback, which none of the previous reviewers appear to ... Read review

Advantages: It does work
Disadvantages: Hard to apply foundation on top

I have seen this product on the Shopping Channels, QVC I think it was and it looked amazing. The presenter put a little on to someone who had lines around the mouth and eyes and fanned it with a piece of paper and hey presto the line plumped up and disappeared before your very eyes. The claim was pretty much that the cream erases up to 99% of facial lines on application and it lasts for twenty-four hours Due to the price of around £65.00 I managed ...
...a real sucker for a nice piece of advertising speil and I've spent so much money on things like this which just don't seem to work for me that I said enough is enough. Around Christmas last year the Daily Mail ran a piece on this miracle cream and allowed readers to collect tokens and pay I think is was around £7\8 for a small sample pot of this wonder cream. I duly collected my tokens and sent off at the earliest opportunity for my new miracle ... Read review
