The Anna Sui Cosmetics Treatment Coffret Peacock Collection (£24) consists of three item. A gorgeous peacock embossed tin which contains a lip balm and hand cream with the same motif.
The tin measures 15(H)x14(W)cm. I intend to use mine to store minis and freebies and keep it in pride of place on my dressing table.
The hand cream (40g) has a slight tea rose scent, moisturises and brightens the skin, preventing dark spots. It contains a vitamin C derivative which brightens skin whilst preventing freckles and dark spots. I love the way it dispenses the hand cream in the shape of little icing sugar flowers. I decorated my hand with them before rubbing it in!
The lip balm(5g) also has a subtle tea rose scent, In the pot the balm looks like it is a lovely sheer deep red that would add just a hint of colour to the lips whilst also ensuring that they remain moisturised. I did find it very moisturising but only got a slight colour payoff. The balm just made my lips very glossy rather than the reddish gloss that I was expecting.
This is a lovely set. I will probably give the hand cream away as I just do not use it. I will use the tin and lip balm as they are both lovely items.
I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.
The bauble is a clear turquoise peacock glass Christmas bauble by Gisela Graham (£6.75) here.
HOW beautiful - beautiful gifts or just for me
ReplyDeleteThese look so beautiful - lovely to have a pretty lip balm rather than a plasic tube!
