Ted Baker Butterfly Gift Set – Product Reviews
Ted Baker Butterfly Body Lotion 200ml
I was fairly pleased with this product. The packaging is really pretty and eye-catching. I found the 200ml to be a generous amount and will last me a good while.
The actual formula was buttery and delightfully scented. It was just a white colour and I did find it a while for it to sink into the skin and left a bit of residue on the surface.
Ted Baker Butterfly body Spray 150ml
This is the butterfly version which I found much sweeter than the overpowering origami Ted Baker range reviewed here. The butterfly scent is elegant, with hints of red fruit.
The bottle is a good size and I found the packaging attractive. The spray function was well made and I found it easy to use.
Ted Baker Butterfly Hand Cream 50ml
A perfect size to take away, this little tub was lovely to use. The formula was light and refreshing on the skin. My hands were left soft and nourished. A great buy!
Ted Baker Buttefly Body Wash 250ml
There was a generous amount included in the 250ml bottle. It lasted me ages but I did find the dispenser was hard to use in the shower.
Only a very small amount came out at once and although the packaging was lovely I found it unpractical.
Ted Baker Buttefly Body Scrub 50ml
The scrub was a lovely little treat and great for taking on holiday. I found there was the signature scent was there.
The scrub was very grainy and great for extra dry skin. It was moisturising too however it left a residue which wasn’t convenient if you’re in a hurry.
Ted Baker Wash Cloth
I thought including a wash cloth was a fab idea. It has the signature ted baker logo on and it’s pink. It’s fairly small but I didn’t mind as its great for travel.
I found one side to be soft and then the other side was more rough. This is great when your washing your face and quite handy. Thumbs up!
These products can be bought together as a set at Christmas or more conveniently individually throughout the year. Boots stock items.

Johnson's Dreamy Skin 3in1 Facial Night Wipes x 25 £1.52
Johnsons are a trustworthy brand and the price is extremely reasonable for 25 large sized wipes. But wow! I was so taken aback at how fabulous this product was. These are the best facial wipes I’ve ever used.
I must admit although the brand is well known, I’ve only really used there moisturiser. But now I’m willing to be much more open to trying other products by their name.
Each wipe is dreamy soft and comforting on the skin. I found the wipes to be calming and gentle but remove eye makeup well. They worked well with my skin type and didn’t cause any breakouts.
Also these wipes are specifically designed for using at night. They are enriched with relaxing moonflower aroma to calm the senses. I found them therapeutic, a pleasure to use and they helped me to unwind.
I bought these wipes on Superdrug.co.uk click here to buy.
What is your go to brand for face wipes? Have you tried any of Johnsons products?
Fashionista Double Take Long Wear Lipstick - Raspberry £3.50 (OFFER Was £7.00)
I bought this lipstick after seeing it in the sale on the Superdrug website. I googled the product and found a couple of really great reviews on blogs with swatches. I picked the raspberry colour, it appealed to me most and did not have a similar colour already.
I found the lipstick to be highly pigmented and left a matt finish. Despite this I didn’t find it drying but instead quite moisturising on the lips. I also found the formula to be really long wear and stayed on the lips even after eating/drinking.
From first impressions I really liked the shiny red packaging – it’s unusual and classy. The only negative would be the packaging wasn’t as sturdy as I would have hoped.
Despite this I’m extremely impressed and at £3.50 you can’t really go wrong. I like the way the raspberry colour looks on my lips and look forward to wearing it in future. Click here to buy.
Whats your favourite drugstore lipstick? Are you tempted to try the ‘Fashionista’ range?
Superdrug Eyebrow Brush & Comb £1.99
This is a simple makeup tool but I thought it would be worthwhile to review and reveal my thoughts on it. It’s an essential item in your makeup bag and can be used to tidy and comb eyebrows/eyelashes.
Most of my other make-up brushes/tools are by Real Techniques but I wasn’t keen on the look of their eyebrow comb – it seemed quite a sharp and I wanted something a little gentler.
I found using both ends of this tool great for neatening eyebrows. Also the plastic end it perfect for combing eyelashes after applying mascara.
At £1.99 you can’t really go wrong. I highly recommend this product. Click here to buy.

Neutral Cut-Out Strap Watch - Next £22
I bought a lovely watch from next and thought I would chat to you about it and do a little review.
The face is beautiful with a rose gold finish and diamante detail around the edge. I was also attracted to the beautiful cut out detail on the strap which adds an extra lovely touch to the design.
I ordered a selection to choose from and decided on this one. I used their courier service which was top marks and received my items the day after ordered.
I’ve been wearing my new watch most days. I paid £22 for the watch which is inexpensive for the designer like quality you receive. I recommend next for their quality and service.
