Best Body Creams for Winter

Following the theme of my previous post, these are my 2 most favourite body creams/butters for the winter.

They are both fantastic products and sink in quickly. There are a few differences between them, however.

Soap and Glory's Righteous Butter is a very well known cream, and very much loved, it's clear why.

It smells amazing, and definitely bears more than a passing resemblance to Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume (which I love!) the best thing about it though is how thick and rich it is, I often get dry elbows, and this eliminates them immediately.

The second is Origins Ginger Souffle Whipped body cream. In comparison, this is much less thick, but it too smells great, and perfect for this time of year, it's a warm ginger scent, almost a little cinnamon-y.

I really enjoy using this, but I do find it leaves more of a layer on the skin than the Righteous Butter and for that reason, I'd have to say I prefer the Righteous Butter, though they really are both great products, and I've tried some badly scented, oily lotions!

The Righteous Butter retails at Boots for £10.21 for 300ml

The Origins Ginger Souffle is available at a number of retailers for £22 for 200ml

My Top 3 Favourite Lip Balms for Winter

During the colder Winter months, your lips need as much moisturisation and protection as possible. These are my top 3 favourite products to do just that.

In no particular order... firstly we have the new Limited Edition Creme Brulee Vaseline. These are available in Selfridges and Sainsburys, maybe other supermarkets also, though I'm not sure!

As we are all aware, Vaseline doesn't moisturise the lips, but it forms a protective layer to keep out the cold and wind, which is vital to keeping them in tip top condition. This variety also smells pretty good!

I paid £1.99 at Sainsburys, but it is £2.99 at Selfridges.

Secondly is the 'MOR' Lip Delight Lip Balm, mine is in the passion fruit variety, but they do plenty of different ones, including orange and apple.

This balm moisturises the lips and sinks in pretty quickly, this too smells amazing, important if you ask me considering your lips are right under your nose! It's completely non sticky, a definite bonus. 

Mine is in the old-style tin, but the new one is available at Space NK for £11.50

Finally is the Yankee Candle flavoured Lip Balm in Pomegranate, the great thing about this one is that it is tinted and it also contains SPF 15, great for bright winter days, as you actually still need to use an SPF in winter!

The only negative about this, and this may be a personal preference, but I find it smells and tastes slightly waxy, which isn't a huge issue, but I'd prefer it if it didn't!

I bought this from a yankee candle store for around $5, but I have seen it online for around £4, you just need to shop around a little!

I hope someone found this useful, and if you've tried any of these, let me know what you think!

I hope you're all enjoying the festivities!
