Now, here was a little something that brightened up my otherwise dull Thursday afternoon. A cute little package from Bee Good that I had won from the wonderful Sarah at Temporary:Secretary (it's one of my favourite blogs, so definitely go have a good nose at it) through her Twitter giveaway. I was so chuffed to win, as I'd been very eager to try some Bee Good products, as let's face it, it's made by British Bees, so it's gotta be good. My first impression of it was 'wow omg so cute!' because not only were they fabulously packaged inside a box wrapped in ribbon, but there were wonderful biscuits.. sorry to say that they didn't make it to the photography session ... but uh, I can report that they were amazingly yummy and beautiful to look at. You can see them on my Instagram post here, aren't they glorious? They were made by Little Bee Bakery, and they can be found on Facebook here, because they were delicious and adorable - total double whammy!
I wanted to give a quick first impression of these two items, before reporting back with more in-depth reviews later on - and my reaction to the hand cream was that it was thick and luxurious feeling, with a soft, sweet natural scent - a gentle honey esc smell, which I love so much. My hands didn't feel greasy or oily, which I think is an essential if you're going to be applying this in the day, trying to keep your hands moisturised whilst doing other things. Multi-tasking as its best. The packaging is simple and lightweight, showcasing that it's all about the Bees - which it quite rightly should be. The pastel packaging has cute little bees buzzing around the bottle, and the same can be said for the lip balm, as the packaging is mirrored on the little tube. There's just something so quaint and lovely about it, but something quintessentially British, which I really like - maybe it's the use of the Union Jack (obvious choice, I know) or maybe it's just the bees, or it could be the entirety of it. It just seems like a wonderfully British product to me and that makes me happy. Naturally sourced, made in Britain and good for the skin, can't ask for more, really.
The lip balm, much like the hand cream, feels luxurious, and not oily, as it applies quite thick before melting into the skin, making lips feel smooth and nourished, not leaving them parched afterwards when the balm has rubbed off. Which I think is something very important to consider when using a lip balm; it's all well and good whilst you're using it, but once you stop, your lips are even worse. It's totally not the case with this one though, so I'm super excited to have won it, and I can't wait to try more from Bee Good, as surely, it's all going to be naturally amazing? Have you tried any products from Bee Good? Which ones would you recommend?
