100% Cruelty-Free – Boots A Little Something Hand Cream Duo

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Boots A Little Something Hand Cream Duo. It contains 2 hand creams – Winter Pears and Peach Pie. This is a cute little set, usually priced at £5. I picked it up for £2.50 – it was half price on Boxing Day.

I’ve also noticed that this little hand cream duo is certified cruelty-free. It carries THE Leaping Bunny logo on the back. Great stuff! And according to Boots, the formula is vegan too. 😍

Let’s start with Boots A Little Something Winter Pears Hand Cream. This is a nice hand cream with a fluid-like formula that sinks right into the skin. The hand cream is very hydrating, and you don’t need to use much product at all which means that the small 30ml will last for a while. The scent is lovely – it doesn’t really smell of pears or vanilla. I’d say the scent is similar to Mugler Angel and its clones. No, it’s not the same, but if you love this type of fragrance, this hand cream is for you.

Boots A Little Something Peach Pie Hand Cream is my favourite hand cream ever. I am very happy with this beautiful fragrance. It smells like those beautiful peach-centred fragrances from the 90s. If you love Trésor and similar fragrances, this hand cream is for you. No, it doesn’t smell exactly like Trésor, but it’s similar enough. Also, this hand cream has the same great formula as the Winter Pears hand cream. A wonderful product! 😍

Based on my experience, I would recommend this lovely hand cream duo. Great formula, great fragrances – what more could you possibly ask for? This hand cream duo could be a great little treat for you, or a stocking filler or a small gift. Boots A Little Something Hand Cream Duo is available as 2 x 30ml. I cannot wait for this year’s winter editions and Christmas gift sets. I will make sure to stock up on those lovely A Little Something products! 😍

Boots A Little Something Body Butter Trio

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Boots A Little Something Body Butter Trio which I picked up for half price on Boxing Day. A Little Something is a Boots own brand that pops up before Christmas each year. There’s usually hand creams, body butters and other toiletries, available in giftable sets – perfect as a side gift for someone you love, or as a little gift for a colleague, secret santa, or for yourself.

So let’s explore whether this trio is worth being picked up again in 6 months from now when the pre-Christmas offerings will be everywhere again. 😀

This body butter trio contains 3 x 50ml mini body butters. The scents are Berry Fizz with notes of red berries and cassis, Winter Pears with notes of pear and vanilla, and Peach Pie with notes of peach and caramel.

Boots A Little Something Berry Fizz Body Butter is my least favourite of the trio. It doesn’t really smell of berries, it’s more of a floral scent, with a prominent rose note. It’s well done, but not really my cup of tea.  The scent of this body butter is quite strong. If you love fragrances such as Chloe or Stella, this would be a good body butter to go with the fragrance, especially if you’re on a budget.

Boots A Little Something Winter Pears Body Butter is really nice. However, I think the scent is more of a patchouli–vanilla-with-fruit type of fragrance. If you love fragrances such as Angel, Chopard Wish and other similar fragrances, this strongly-scented body butter would be worth a try. Of course, the body butter doesn’t smell exactly like Angel or its clones, but it has a similar aura, albeit less heavy on the patchouli, with a more innocent sweetness and with an overall lighter feel. I really like this body body, and I use it whenever I feel like using my Angel / Angel limited edition samples.

Boots A Little Something Peach Pie Body Butter is the star of the show – in my opinion. This body butter has a heavenly peach and vanilla scent, with a touch of raspberry, I think. It is WOW! It smells like those beautiful peachy fragrances from the 90s – I guess Trésor is probably the one that is most popular and also still around. I love this body butter so much, and I will buy the matching shower gel and body lotion once the Christmas gift sets are on sale again in 6 months. And now that I know how amazing this scent is, I won’t wait until Boxing Day. It’ll be like… I see Peach Pie products at Boots -> I buy them!

I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this Boots A Little Something Body Butter Trio. On top of the lovely fragrances, these body butters have a lovely formula. Very rich, but not greasy or tacky. They just feel great on the skin.

If you’re interested, Boots A Little Something Body Butter Trio is available as a set with 3 x 50ml body butters. I don’t remember the price, I just grabbed it when I saw the half price sticker, but I doubt it was more expensive than a store-bought sandwich.
