MOR Sugar Rose Tigerlily Hand Cream and MOR Belladonna Perfume Oil - review
/
0 Comments
To me, MOR is not only an outstanding brand with a range of great products - it's also my brand of choice when it comes to the old 'shit I don't have a present for [insert person] and I need to pick one up last minute'.
I don't know any lass who doesn't like MOR products. I have a couple of the brand's candles, given to me by friends years ago and I've kept the glass jars they're stored in - even though the candles died long ago. I've also kept the box of a beautiful body cream of theirs given to me by a friend, because it's so damn pretty. It went with me to Berlin and back (we lived there for a couple of years), even though the cream is long gone. The box is still on display in my room. Finally, I have a soap tin of MOR's that I now use to store my shorter make up brushes in.
Guess what I'm saying is, I like the packaging! Most people do. It feels special, and lucky the products themselves do too - plus they're not that expensive. For last minute gifts you can pick them up in plenty of pharmacies, but if you shop around online you can also get some great discounts.
Anyhoo. I'd say it's time I reviewed these puppies. What a preamble...
MOR Sugar Rose Tigerlily Hand Cream (RRP $14.95 for 80ml)
When deciding what 'flavour' hand cream to buy, I picked this one because I love the little gold antique chair. Yep, I didn't pick based on colour or smell, but on the picture. Weirdo again.
What can I say about MOR hand creams? I've tried so many and they're velvety, moisturising and wonderful. You can't go wrong. My favourite smelling one at the mo is probably Blackcurrant & Iris, and the only one I don't like is Basil & Grape (too sweet for me).
MOR claims/product details:
- An everyday hand cream that you won't be able to live without! Hands are left feeling pampered, restored and beautifully fragrant
- Contains the conditioning agents glycerin and coconut oil; shea and cocoa seed butters for superior moisture; sesame seed oil to help soften and rejuvenate the skin; Vitamin A & E to nourish and reinvigorate tired skin
- Not tested on animals
- Fragrance: a subtle blend of soft, sugary rose, exotic tiger lily and ripe tropical fruits
Absolutely lives up to its claims. I can't wait to finish this, just to give myself the excuse to buy another one. Reckon I'll be keeping the empties and lining them up on the sill in the bathroom until there's not an inch of space left (!).
Belladonna Perfume Oil (RRP $19.95 for 9ml)
I picked this one because of the colour/packaging and because I love purse-sized perfumes. It's not my favourite smell (far too musky for me), but I love the product otherwise and have it on display now that it's finished. I also didn't pay full price for this, so definitely shop around.
MOR claims/product details:
- Leaves the skin feeling rejuvenated, soft to touch and smelling oh so delicious!
- Contains: grape seed, sunflower, almond, avocado and sesame seed oil for moisture; rose hip oil to rejuvenate the skin; Vitamin E to nourish and reinvigorate tired skin
- Paraben and sulphate free
- Perfect purse size
- Not tested on animals
- Fragrance: white narcissus, Moroccan rose and pink tulips enlivened with meyer lemon; sweetened with a touch of French cassis, sandalwood, vanilla and musk
I'd say it lives up to its claims : ). Next time however I'll pick one based on scent rather than colour (hey, it looked coral in the picture)! I loved taking this out of my handbag and using it, regardless of the scent, just because it felt special. That counts for something.
In sum
If you haven't tried MOR products, you must. Particularly their hand creams and candles. LOVE. There's so much more to explore in the range (want to try the body scrubs) and I can't wait to try everything.
What are your favourite MOR products?
