Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Heathcote & Ivory Busy Bees Hand & Lip Tin

Looking for a lovely teacher gift? Want to treat a colleague to a little something, for stepping in for you? Need a Friday cheer-up, yourself? We’ve got just the tin.

Yes, tin. Fabulous, collectable, too-lovely-to-throw-away tins are a speciality at British bath, bodycare and fragrance house Heathcote & Ivory. This is a particularly joyous summery offering, with a raised design of a herbaceous border, begging to be upcycled with a sewing kit, some buttons or those receipts you haven’t got around to claiming on expenses.

Inside, two luscious Heathcote & Ivory treats: a 50ml size of their signature formula hand cream – rich, nourishing, non-sticky, sinks-in-fast; in other words, ticking almost all our hand cream boxes, with lashings of glycerine, shea and cocoa butters, manuka leaf and bee balm extracts (among other ingredients).

The very softening lip balm formula, meanwhile, includes vitamin E, carrot seed oil and shea butter. Both products have a lovely, light honey and thyme scent, but with nary a bee-derived ingredient anywhere near them, they’re 100% vegan-friendly.

All-round loveliness, we think.
