Winter essentials... Limited edition Essence Hand Creams

The weather is definitely turning colder and I find I am reaching for my creams and balms more to keep the dry skin itch away, and when I am on a very tight budget, news of a lovely balm packed with pampering ingredients like Shea butter and coconut oil is welcome news. When it comes in three christmassy scents and comes from my favourite budget brand Essence, it makes me very happy :). Essence Limited Edition Hand Balms are available on shelves (look by all the other hand creams) from mid October 2012 until December 2012, and will cost a budget-beating €1.49.

I can't go far wrong with the descriptions sent to me and I will deffo be picking up the ginger one as I am very, very partial to a Chai Latte... And I will get a few to keep on hand for emergency presents too
