Thusday's Thrifty Finds


Today I had a little splurge and treated myself to some goodies that were at a price too good to ignore:

Neil's Yard Remedies, Bee Lovely to your hands Hand Cream (RRP £10, paid £6.66 at Waitrose)

Beautifully packaged, this hand cream is made with 'moisturising organic honey, blended with energising orange essential oil to nourish the skin and lift the spirits.' Having already applied a broad bean sized amount (I've particularly dry hands!), my skin and cuticles are noticeably looking less desperate - it seems instantly nourishing without being uncomfortably greasy. I've faith that it will continuing to impress, what with the Soil Association's stamp of approval, it's got to be good. 

So Eco, Finishing Brush (RRP £8.99, paid £4.99 TK MAXX)

This may sound a tad melodramatic, but this purchase filled me with guilt somewhat, feeling that I was betraying my beloved Eco Tools brush set (I'd safely go as far to say they're as good, if not better than the likes of Real Technique or MAC brushes). 

However, this Finishing Brush from So Eco caught my eye...purely as it was such a bargain at £4.99! The brush is made from sustainable and recycled materials - compostable and biodegradable - the handle is made from bamboo (an ecologically sustainable material) and the aluminium ferule also had a former life. Sadly, it doesn't state anywhere (packaging or on the web) what the bristles are made from, but it does state that it's a cruelty free product. 

I shall be putting these treats to the test over the coming days and will be back with a full review!
