little white truths

We received a sample of this hand cream in our August 2014 Violet Boxes and I liked it so much that I snapped up the full size as soon as it was on special. While I got the 'Morelia Monarch' version in that box, when it came to ordering this cream, I couldn't go past the Tuscan Honey flavour - it sounded smashing.

You have to love the packaging of these creams. The little tube looks so classy that I keep it out as a display item : )

Verdict

I love the smell of this cream: it's heady without being overpowering and it lingers a little but won't interfere with your perfume.

I've already mentioned that I love the packaging but it's worth saying again - it really makes a difference I reckon when a product not only feels nice, but looks nice too. It's something you'd be happy to give as a present, knowing it will feel special and be well-received.

The cream itself is thick and a little goes a long way. It absorbs well and is super hydrating without being greasy and feels wonderfully nourishing and velvety on the skin.

Now that I have a baby, my hands are getting super dry (maybe from washing them so frequently so they're clean for my daughter), and I'm definitely glad I have this on hand to keep the dryness at bay. I can't live without this product at the moment.

I can't recommend this enough. You'll see that I've given it an HG tag - I think it might be the only hand cream I've found that's achieved this.

Love. I want to try all the different scents!
