My go to lip formulas for when I need a moisture boost and a hint of colour...

Lip care is an area of my beauty routine that gets slightly neglected, I have all these wonderful lip products that sit side by side in the draw waiting to be used, there are a few however that manage to make the jump into my daily routine, first up is the Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate this is perfect for chapped lips and gives a slight hint of sheen and colour, Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants which help to reduce aging.  If I am looking for something quick with a little colour this is my go to. Next up is the Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm, this natural lip product is packed with coconut and sunflower oils which nourish and condition the lips, the beeswax helps to seal in this hydration keeping your lips looking moisturised, it also contains peppermint oil so it feels fresh when applied.

If I need something more intense I turn to my Nuxe Reve de Miel Honey Lip Balm, the consistency is rich and thick and feels more like a lip treatment that a balm, I like to use this at night so it is a perfect product to keep on the bedside table, the plant oils and grapefruit essence help to soothe the lips while the Shea butter and honey nourish and repair.

For moisture and colour I like to use The Body Shops Colour Crush Lipsticks, I have the shades Coral Cutie105 - a bright coral hue with true orange tones and Blushing Pink 225 - a pretty pink shade that looks great with a tan. The lovely texture of these lipsticks means they glide on easily and the colour can be built up depending on how bold you want to go. They are lots of shades in this range so I will definitely be picking a few more of these up!

Hand & Foot Care Must Haves

With all the lovely body care products out at the moment it can be hard to remember to include our hands and feet into our moisturisation routine...

Fear not though, here is my list of staple products to add to your wishlist! Up first is a pot of pure perfection, ever find that your nice new manicure is ruined by unsightly cuticles? Try Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, this is super hydrating and smells amazing and the tin pot is great for a manicure on the go. Another product from Burt's Bees is the Coconut Foot Cream, this thick oil like cream is super rich combating dry, hard skin on the feet - this feels like a really luxurious treatment, pop this on before bed and wear some bed socks and you will wake up with a brand new pair of feet... well almost.

For a lighter foot cream that can be used before putting your sandals on try the Elemis Spa at Home Foot Cream, the creamy lotion soothes the skin and hydrates it so your tootsies will look perfect - I love applying this after being on my feet all day. This sinks in really well too so you don't have to worry about walking round the house after application.

I always have a hand cream in my bag, and the two currently on rotation at the moment are the Burt's Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream and the Origins Make A Difference Rejuvenating Hand Treatment, both are great at providing must needed moisture to dry hands.
