Having just gone on holiday it's been reinforced in my mind how much I love travel size samples. They take up minimal makeup bag space and are the perfect size for week long getaways. After having finished a couple of shower gels, body moisturisers and hand creams in Ibiza last week I've now got my eye on this Yes To Carrots On-The-Go Carrot Essentials Kit for my next holiday. 

Yes To is a brand I haven't tried anything from but by the sound of it they are right up my street, organic, natural and have different ranges for different skin types. The Yes To Carrots range is the most nourishing out of the bunch, which claims to soften nourish and revitalise skin, and as far as claims go I can't say I disagree.
The kit contains four items, the Super Rich Body Butter, Daily Softening Hand & Elbow Cream, Hydrating Shower Gel and finally a Lip Butter and conveniently placed in one little orange bag. 

First up is my favourite item, the Body Butter which contains 26 minerals, shea butter and carrot juice all together making it smell amazing. Don't be put off by the word 'butter' like I was as it just reminds me of thick sticky hard to blend in cream - this wasn't like that at all. It's very lightweight, feels very nourishing and dries within seconds. What I absolutely loved was that it dries matt as opposed to sticky so when in a rush to get dressed there's no need for waiting for moisturiser to sink in. 

The hand cream is slightly richer than the body butter but had a similar texture and matt finish. It was also wonderful around my cuticles! I'm not too fussed about Shower Gels but it's great to know what I'm washing my body with is natural. It feels lovely on the skin and lathers well without leaving that stripped feeling. Lastly the Lip Butter, which has a slightly oily texture that won't solve massively dry  skin but is great for keeping in the handbag for a little hydration as it lasts for hours on the lips. 

Yes To Carrots On-The-Go Carrots Essential Kit is £14.99 and available on Feel Unique

Have you ever tried anything from Yes To? Do you save samples for holidays?
