The Lo Down - Mane 'n Tail HoofMaker Hand & Nail Therapy

Hey Guys and Dolls,

As you all know I'm a pretty big fan of Mane 'n Tails Haircare products, I just think there so good and I enjoy using them. I always feel my hair is in such good condition after I use their range of products, I've actually done a couple of reviews that you can check out here. I recently was sent two more products from the brand to try and one was their hand cream, Hoofmaker. I had no idea they did products other than haircare so I was really looking forward to giving this a go.

Basically this hand cream was originally developed for horses to moisturize dry, cracked and brittle hooves. So in my head if it worked well doing that it must be an amazing handcream and that's true this really is. Hoofmaker has a really nice consistency, a little bit goes a long way so don't go too mad with this product. It smells really nice and fresh plus it leaves my hands feeling so nice and soft. It's a pretty good size tube aswell so this will definitely last a while that's for sure.

I've been so impressed with all Mane 'n Tail's products so far and I can't wait to try some more in the future. It's such a nice brand and I'm surprised I only started using their products lately.

The Lo Down - Uriage Hand Cream for Dry and Damaged Skin

Hey Guys and Dolls,

During this time of the year I get super dry hands so I like to find new hand creams to try now and again. The newest hand cream I've tried is from Uriage. I've already tried their Thermal Water and I'm a big fan. You can check out the review here.

I'm not a huge fan of scented hand creams but this smells fine. It's a lovely thick consistency and sinks into the skin beautifully. I always carry this around in my handbag as it's the perfect size. I already have an eye on alot more Uriage products at the moment. This hand cream retails for €12 which I think this is really good for an amazing product like this.

Little Bits from Bliss

 Bliss isn't a brand I use very much as I find it a bit out of my price range. I've never owned any of their products even though I love their body butters. I always have a sniff at Bliss counters as their products smell so refreshing. I don't know anyone who doesn't like them.

Last week, my mom and I were out shopping when we decided to pop into House Of Fraser for a quick browse around the Beauty Hall (My favourite place). After having a mooch at a few of my favourite counter, I spotted a Sale table which I've been told is quite rare in the Beauty Hall. On it, I seen a tonne of Bliss products on sale, before my mom could look twice I was already over at the table checking out what was on offer. I was really surprised with what I saw as everything was half price or more and that's unusual for Bliss as it's such a good brand. I was later told that House Of Fraser was getting rid of the concession so everything had to go.

These are the products I came home with and I've been using them all since the day I've bought them.

Bliss Super-sized Lemon & Sage Body Butter (414ml) Was-€36 Now-€18

Still a bit pricey but I'd never get a better deal than this ever. Being Bliss's Number One Body Cream I had such high expectations for this product. I've been using it everyday since I purchased it and now I can safely say I love it. Firstly this body butter is huge (414ml) which I'm sure will last me for a long time. With a fresh citrusy scent that is amazing, this product is so moisturising and doesn't leave you feeling greasy one bit. I've been using this especially were I have dry patches and my skin is left feeling lovely and soft:)

Bliss Hand Cream Set (30ml) Was-10 Now-€5

I was blown away with this set when I saw it as it's amazing value for what your getting. First up is the Blood Orange & White Pepper hand cream, I've always loved the body butter of the same fragrance. It's such a unusual scent as it does smell like oranges but the white pepper adds a extra kick to it. I would of never thought that this combination would work but it does. I have started carrying this around with me as of late. I'm not sure if it will take the place of my beloved Soap and Glory Hand Food.

Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream has a light lemony fragrance which I think is similar to the Lemon & Sage body butter. I've probably used this a bit less than the other hand cream as I agree with the title it's a bit more intensive. Not only does it leave your skin soft and smooth, it also helps smooth rough cuticles. I have been using Lemon Flutter (which I love) for my cracked and dry cuticles, but this seems to be doing the job aswell. The only difference being is that this doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy.

Both of these hand creams did exactly what they said on the tin and left my hands feeling soft and smooth. During the day, I use Blood Orange & White Pepper as it's more of a everyday hand cream. When I get home from work I have been using the High Intensity Hand Cream which I definitely need on my hands after a hard days work as my hands are usually left in bad condition. They are both small in size (30ml) but I think they are so handy as you can get a feel for the product.

I've really enjoyed using these products so far. I'm so glad I picked them up in the sale which is an added bonus. I'd definitely love to use them again but the only thing stopping me is the price. I think if you were planning on pampering yourself and liked a good treat these products would definitely be worth having a look at.

Have you used any Bliss Products??...What's your favourite??
