Champneys Cooling Eye Gel Masks (5 pairs for £10)
For moisturisation and cooling of skin. Alright, the price is pretty good. However, I am a little confused about how to use the mask, which side to use it on. You see, one side is more smooth, while the other one feels slightly uncomfortable under the eyes (slightly scratchy). I have put it on the smooth side, but since there are no instructions and it does become unclear as both sides look almost the same to the naked eye, you may or may not have an enjoyable experience from them. However, even when putting the smooth side down, it may still feel mildly scratchy. It cools well, moisturisation, however, isn't that noticable.

Champneys Softening Hand Cream with SPF 15 (125ml for £10 from Boots)
This is one of our UK purchases. According to the brand, "this rich, yet easily absorbed cream, smoothes and conditions skin for truly soft hands, with notes of chamomile, orange and mandarin to leave hands subtly scented". On the first second of application, you think "oh damn, it is too liquid-y". But actually, to my surprise, it is a rich cream which absorbs fast but moisturises the hands even throughout the night. It smells like male skincare/body care products-- just a lot milder. It makes the hands not feel "silky" soft. It is a different type of softness-- a "soft" softness (you are probably confused, sorry). Overall, as a hand cream, it is very good. My hands do really enjoy it.
