Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm or Caudalie Beauty Elixir would be gratefully received if it were me. The Caudalie might be a bit more than £10 but not by much.

Miniatures from benefit

Claudalie Beauty Elixir is £11. Cheaper online so I'd get that.

RJnomore1 · 09/04/2016 15:50

The caudalie is about £30!

Molton brown hand creams are about £10 and very nice.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/04/2016 15:57

No it isn't, not the little one. I think it's £11 for 30ml

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/04/2016 15:58

£11.50 at Feel Unique m.feelunique.com/p/Caudalie_Beauty_Elixir_30ml?url=Caudalie_Beauty_Elixir_30ml&slang=EN

It's meant to feel like you're doing something like every other beauty product Wink Grin

If you want stuff that works well... Vichy blue serum? That works at intensive moisturising.

Hand cream

RaeSkywalker · 09/04/2016 16:16

Nice hand cream and a nail varnish.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/04/2016 16:19

Sally Hanson Poweful Acrylic Gel is great. I think it's about £7.

XiCi · 09/04/2016 16:34

Oh God please don't buy the caudalie elixir, it's truly vile. Like spraying mosquito repellant on your face

BestIsWest · 09/04/2016 16:43

I'd like something from Neal's Yard please.

DollyTwat · 09/04/2016 16:51

You could get a beauty box. There are lots online. I've got them from here latestinbeauty.com/ and they've been lovely. You can build a box too

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/04/2016 16:54

Shame Boots are doing a 3 for 2 on Premium brands because the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfectors are lovely but about £16.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/04/2016 16:54

Aren't doing.

Mandelinka · 09/04/2016 17:08

Kiehl's body lotion or lip product
Good hand cream

Leviticus · 09/04/2016 17:10

I use the Caudalie as extra hydration before moisturiser.

It smells nothing like insect repellant but each to their own.

Yseulte · 09/04/2016 17:47

I love Caudalie normally, but that Elixir dries your face up. Never again.

What about Real Techniques Expert Face brush £8.99 Superdrug.

Body shop hemp hand protector. Normally £11.50 but you can get it for £8.50 on eBay.
