Andrex Shea Butter Knickers

Andrex® has launched its most luxurious toilet tissue ever – Andrex® Shea Butter. The Shea Butter enriched sheets, scented inner core and luxurious dark brown packaging is designed to give you a fabulous feeling.

To celebrate, Andrex® has enlisted the expertise of up and coming British lingerie designer Ayten Gasson to create some fabulous limited edition Andrex* Shea Butter Knickers made from the finest silk. Former Atomic Kitten and winner of Celebrity Masterchef, Liz McClarnon, has also been brought on board as the face of the campaign to model the luxurious underwear.

Designed to make you feel fabulous, these luxurious Andrex* Shea Butter Knickers will be the first ever to include a panel of Shea Butter enriched fabric giving them an extra silky touch. Like Andrex® Shea Butter, they will offer a multi-sensory experience.

The exclusive Andrex* Shea Butter Knickers by Ayten Gasson, will be available to buy for just £10 a pair from 6th June at www.andrexsheabutter.com.

Andrex® has also chosen to support a fantastic charity that helps women feel fabulous when they need it most. ‘Look Good…Feel Better’ www.lgfb.co.uk is a charity for women undergoing cancer treatment. It holds free skincare and make-up workshops to help combat the visible side effects and, in turn, boost confidence and wellbeing. Andrex® is donating £5 from every pair of Andrex* Shea Butter Knickers sold to this worthy cause.

Lifebuoy Soap Is Back

Lifebuoy Soap was launched in 1894 by Lever Brothers and was originally a red, carbolic soap. It was incredibly popular and it was suggested that every house in Britain had a bar of it (that seems a bit far fetched to me though).

Sarah’s dad is a big fan of the soap and as our home is not too far away from Port Sunlight Village (built by Lever Brothers next to their factory) we used to pop into the visitor centre shop to buy the odd bar.

I read however that a company is relaunching the Lifebuoy brand and it’ll now be available in feminine shades of white and pink with a milder cleansing formula and a fresh scent. Not sure what my father-in-law will think of that!

Shoes, Glorious Shoes

Sarah needs a new pair of shoes again apparently. So, I said… that’s fine, I’ll do a deal - buy the shoes on my credit card but do a review of them here on Beauty Hive.

So later today Sarah is placing her order with Jones The Bootmakers and in a few days she’ll be reviewing them here on the site for you all.

Why do you women need so many pairs of shoes anyway?

FitFlops Offer At Boots

Last year we mentioned the highly acclaimed Fitflops footwear. Well here’s a quick mention that Boots are offering an exclusive WalkStar III in Jelly Black / White (pictured).

And as I write this they seem to stock in sizes 3 and up ! Popular sizes tend to go out of stock quickly.

Jergens Extra Softening Cream Review

Following on from Laura’s review of Jergens Naturals, I’ll now let you know how I got on.

I’ve been trying the Jergens Extra Softening body moisturiser that contains shea butter. Apparently shea butter is the ingredient that revitalizes dry and rough skin. As my elbows are prime candidates for some extra softening TLC that’s where I’ve been applying the cream.

So what did I think? Well, a lovely fresh scent is nice to start with. Now body butters kind of make you think of a thick, heavy cream but this is much, much lighter - nothing like a body butter at all. It’s very light and feels slightly soothing as you rub it into your skin. I don’t use much but it is easily absorbed as you rub it over your skin. There’s no greasy feeling at all and it seems to work too! It does seem to calm and soften rough skin. I even tried it on my dry heel and I found it rather soothing.

Oh, I happened to notice that although it’s an American company, us Brits get the products that are actually made in the UK, so there’s no food miles equivalent.

You get the impression that this is a quality product, so well done to Jergens - I’ll be finishing off the tube!

Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Moisturiser

Hi Everyone! Laura here writing my first review on BeautyHive.

Sarah gave me the Ultra Hydrating Moisturiser by Jergens Naturals to try. I gather we’ll all be hearing much more about Jergens this year as the company behind the top selling body cream in the USA come to the UK.

So what did I think of their moisturiser? Well, first off this Jergens product had a really nice smell. I guess it helps that the main ingredients are Jojoba Oil, Avocado and Olive Oil (which apparently moisturises and nourishes skin and is rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants!).

The cream was easily absorbed into my skin and wasn’t heavy at all. My skin felt moisturised for a long time after application but did not feel greasy at all

The packaging is nice and neutral and the fact that 96% of the ingredients are natural is a great benefit. Can’t wait to see what Sarah says about the Extra Softening one now!

Skinfood Nourishing Moisturiser Review

For my very first review here on Beauty Hive I’ve been trying the Skinfood Nourishing Moisturiser. Of course John has already posted his own review about their unisex moisturiser.

The Nourishing Moisturiser is also a unisex cosmetic and as with all the products in the Skinfood range is free from nasties and made from nice things including coconut palm as a base.

I found the Nourishing Moisturiser a little to heavy for a day time moisturiser so would therefore consider it for use as a good value night time moisturiser. It takes slightly longer to blend in but that’s okay as my skin did feel smooth in the morning.

One of the easiest and fastest places to get Skinfood products is amazon. Skinfood tends to cost £4.99 so you’ll need to spend a penny (more) to qualify for free delivery !

Stay tuned for more reviews of some of the newest hair and beauty products on the market.
