My Opinion:

 

I never though that I would ever use animal oil on my skin, but after having tried out my first horse oil cream last winter, I was like really open for new alternatives.

My local SASA was having a BOGO on this hand cream, so I got 2 bottles to try out. This is scentless, didn't leave my hands sticky, and it did absorb fairly fast, but honestly I didn't really like it, it didn't provide enough moisture for my hand even during the summer. I'll finish off whatever I have, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

My Opinion:

 

I've picked this up because I've needed a few more dollars for a free gifts.

 

This is a cream that feels really light on the skin, whenever I rub this on my hands it turns watery and it gets absorbed really fast. Since it feels so light on the skin, it wasn't enough for me during the winter, but it did feel great during the summer.

 

The only think I didn't like about this product is the floral scent, but the scent doesn't last, so I'll try to finish this off, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

The Body Shop Cranberry Joy Hand Cream

Contents: 30ml / 1 us fl oz
Price: HK$149.00 (this came in a set of 3)

According to The Body Shop's webpage:

 

A delicately fragranced light cream moisturiser for hands. Apply liberally and rub into skin. Contains Community Fair Trade cocoa butter. Available in Vanilla Bliss and Ginger Sparkle.

 

 

My Opinion:

 

This is a limited edition scent that I got on a X'mas set back in 2012 and never got around using it. As I've mentioned inumerous time that I'm on a low buy, so I'm finally digging into my stash and start using things up.

 

The set came with 3 deluxe sample size hand creams, and I'd already reviewed the vanilla hand cream. The scent of the Cranberry Hand Cream was even stronger than the vanilla, but it was not as sweet as the vanilla. It has the same thick texture, but this one seems to absorbs faster. Overall, I've liked this hand cream and might consider repurchasing if it comes out again this X'mas.

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Hand Cream

Contents: 30ml / 1 us fl oz
Price: HK$149.00 (this came in a set of 3)

According to The Body Shop's webpage:

This moisturising hand cream is scented with vanilla and a hint of spice. It helps to condition nails and leaves hands feeling softer and smoother.

• Moisturising

• Conditions nails 

• No parabens

My Opinion:

This is a limited edition scent that I got on a X'mas set back in 2012 and never got around using it. As I've mentioned inumerous time that I'm on a low buy, so I'm finally digging into my stash and start using things up.

The reason why this was left unused was because it did not smell like vanilla at all, but I did notice the scent of spices. Although I'm not a huge fan of the scent, I do like the cream, it has a thick texture that really hydrates and soften my hand, but it does take sometime to be absorbed, not ideal to carry it on your purse. The scent is very strong and it does last, so I guess it will be overpowering for the summer.

Although this is a limited edition scent I've noticed that Body Shop's does bring it back every X'mas, so if you like it you may still get it around X'mas time.

LCN Anti Age

Contents: 250 ml

Price: HK$384.00

Local of Purchase: SASA (I've got mine from my manicurist)

According to LCN's webpage:

This Anti Age hand cream contains Jojoba oil, d-panthenol and marine collagen, which makes it the perfect treatment for demanding skin. Massage into your hands when required.

My Opinion:

I'm not the kind of person who likes to splurge on a HE hand cream, but right before my wedding, my manicurist convinced me that I needed a good hand cream, and I've paid full price (HK$480) for it.

This hand cream smells good, leaves my hand silky and it doesn't take long to be absorbed, I would consider it a good hand cream for the day, but personally I would prefer something richer for the night. I don't think is worth it's full price.

Lush Helping Hands Hand Cream

Contents: 100g
Price: HKD 119

According to Lush's webpage:

For over-worked hands.

Miracle-working, softening hand cream. You might be a person who thinks that hand cream is merely one more non-essential thing to spend your money on. This was created for the people that work their fingers to the bone and have suffering hands. Mark wanted to create a cream that would protect and care for those hands in particular.

Heavy duty moisturiser.

It soothes and softens with a powerful mixture of marigold and lavender; shea butter and almond oil are emollient and we've added softening linseed and glycerine. Give your hands a little help.

Ingredients: Chamomile Water (Anthemis nobilis), Linseed Mucilage (Linum usitatissimum), Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis), Glycerine (Glycerine), Stearic Acid (Stearic Acid), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Cetearyl Alcohol (Cetearyl Alcohol), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Triethanolamine (Triethanolamine), Honey (Honey), Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia), African Marigold Oil (Tagetes erecta), Perfume (Perfume), Alkanet Extract (Alkanna tinctoria), Limonene (Limonene), Linalool (Linalool), Propylparaben (Propylparaben)

My Opinion:

This is the best hand cream that I've ever used, it really hydrates and soften your hands overnight, but since it has a really thick texture, and it takes sometime to be absorbed, I've only been using it at night.

Although It 's a really good hand cream, I don't think I'll be repurchasing it, because like most of lush products it has a really short best before date (2 months), and there's no way I could finish this pot in 2 months....

容量: 100g

價錢: HKD 119

根據Lush網頁：

好幫手潤手霜

蘊含修護及高度保濕的蜜糖、薰衣草、乳木果、杏仁油、亞麻籽油及甘菊水，亦能抗菌去斑，令雙手柔滑細緻。另設輕便裝方便攜帶。

主要成分:蜜糖、薰衣草精油、乳木果脂、杏仁精油、亞麻籽精油及甘菊水。

我的意見：

這是小妹用過最潤的手霜，一搽所有紋都會即刻消失，而且只須一晚雙手就會變得又軟又滑，但因為吸收的時間比較漫所以小妹只會於晚上使用。

雖然效果不錯，但小妹仍然有投訴，這瓶潤手霜的有效期很短（只得兩個月），根本就無可能用完

Hand & Nail Cream Anti-Ageing
Contents: 100ml
Price: HK$25

I coulnd't find this product's in Kamill's webpage, but in accordance to the package it says:

• Contains valuable soya with phytosterols which provide the skin with moisture and improve elasticity.
• Vitamins C and E protect against free radicals whilst chamomile and bisabolol soothe the skin. These substance, combined with a physical UV-A/UV-B light protection filter, prevent premature ageing of the skin and age spots.
• Mineral oil-free, color free, skin friendly pH value, skin compatibility dermatologically approved.

My Opinion:

I've already finish a tube of the classic formula and am using the anti-ageing formula for about 2 weeks. In terms of hydration, I think they are more or less the same, but personaly I prefer the anti-ageing formula, because it absorbs alot faster than the classic formula, and since I mostly use it in the workplace, I don't have the time to wait for it to absorb.
