Hand Dream Team

In one of this years' lesser publicised releases,  Soap and Glory released yet another hand cream. Already reining supreme in the category with the much loved Hand Food, and Endless Glove hand mask, for dry pawed folk like myself, I was quite surprised to find this on the shelf whilst stocking up on my regulation Breakfast Scrub (mmmmm, maple syrup!). 

Hand Dream sits slap bang in the middle of it's predecessors, more hydrating than Hand Food, but less intense that Endless Glove. Do you need it? No, of course not, if your half way through a tube of Hand Food, stick with it. But if, like me, you find that your mitts aren't quite satisfied by Hand Food, it might be worth giving this ago. Whilst I love my Hand Food in the summer, I do find myself reaching for Endless Glove more in the winter, just for that extra boost of moisture. However, the introduction of Hand Dream, means I can reserve my Endless Glove for nighttime hand treatments, complete with pink S&G gloves.

In terms of scent, it's just the same as the others, that signature sweet S&G scent, and to be honest, the packaging is almost identical to Hand Food, you could pick this up and not realise it wasn't Hand Food til you were home quite easily.

The verdict? Don't rush out and buy this, but next time you need a new hand cream, why not give it a whirl?

The New Thing - Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint

 005 Golden Bronze and 006 Rich Russet

"Long Wear Liquid Eye Shadow. Lasts All Day"

Rimmel are just bringing it at the moment. I honestly don't think that there's another brand, particularly drugstore, that is having so many successful releases at the moment. These bad boys are an extension of the Scandaleyes group. We've got eye liners and shadow sticks, and now, the longest wearing liquid eye product I've ever used in my life.

Now, the colour selection is a little iffy, good if you like brights, but not really any true neutral shades for day wear. These two are my favourite, Golden Bronze, which looks beautiful across the lid with a deep sparkly brown (I love NARS Galapagos for this) blended into the outer corner for an easy smokey look, and Rich Russet, which can be smudged across the lid for a fool-proof smouldering look on its own. 

As far as formula gos, this is infallible. You have around thirty seconds after you've applied this to work with it before it sets, and then that's it, it's going nowhere. I've put this through the wringer, in the shower and bath and it hasn't budged, you need a good makeup remover to shift this. There's a lovely doe-foot applicator, but I've found the easiest way is to pop a bit on your fingers, smudge across the lid and blend out with a fluffy brush (the Real Techniques fluffy crease brush is perfect for this).

You guys know I love Rimmel, and this product is no exception. These are honestly the best eye product I've ever found in terms of wear, and I love these two colours! We just need a Bulletproof Beige equivalent in these! 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint retails at £4.99 and released on July 10th.
