Pit: Collection Lasting colour matte lipstick in Taffeta Bloom. I had high hope for this lipstick. I'm all about the matte so when I saw Collections new range of matte lipsticks I was very excited. The colour looked great, packaging was fine, everything was good until I applied it. It sticks to all the dry patched on your lips, gets in all those nooks and crannies you don't want it to get and just sits there. The colour really doesn't suit me which isn't the products fault, although there isn't a huge range in the matte section. The packaging doesn't stay on very well, although I do like the sleek design. Overall unfortunately I'm really not impressed which sucks as I thought I was going to find a new matte love, but alas apparently not.

Peak: Burt's Bees cranberry and pomegranate sugar scrub. I LOVE this stuff! My mum actually got this in a set from a charity shop (See post here). I really struggle with shaving my legs (TMI)  as I have sensitive skin and eczema, but this stuff has been amazing! I can't stand really thin scrubs with tiny particles, I'm all about the chunky, rough scrubs that actually do something, and this is one of them. It looks like a very similar consistency to The Body shop raspberry scrub with all the little seeds in it as well as being a sugar scrub and has such a strong scent. Although being rough, it has a tonne of oil in it which really moisturises and leaves your skin feeling amazing. They still sell this on FeelUnique but it's quite expensive, so if anyone has any suggestions for cheaper scrubs I could try, let me know in the comments!


What has been your Pit and Peek of the month?

Thanking you,

This is the pomegranate and cranberry gift set. This includes the sugar scrub, body bar, lip balm and honey and milk body lotion, as well as a shower lily. As far as I can see, this set is no longer available but the individual items are available on amazon and the Burt Bees website. From other blogs back in 2013, this cost $20 so roughly £13-£15, which is a pretty good deal considering these items now individually cost a lot more than that (and in the charity shop it was a steal at only £5!). I'm really excited to try the Sugar Scrub as it looks really thick and has a great smell, looks very similar to the raspberry body scrub the Body Shop did a while ago. The travel size Honey and Milk moisturiser will be great for my handbag as a hand cream or for my eczema during the day. I'm not sure about using the Body Bar as my skin can be sensitive to things like hard soaps but I might give it a go once I've finished with my King of skin bar from lush. I've tried the lip balm and so far so good. It's red in the tube but this doesn't translate on the lips so you can use this balm whenever you want and don't have to worry about smudging.

So, for only £5 I think we got a real bargain! Just shows that charity shops are the way to go. Have a rummage around and you never know what you might find!


Have you tried anything from Burts Bees?

Thanking you,
