Tocca Hand Cream in Florence - review
/
0 Comments
I was given this little hand cream trio for Christmas and I'm only getting to it now because I had so many hand creams on the go from subscription boxes and I didn't want to open this until I'd finished a couple of those off.
Happily my husband is something of a hand cream machine so I've been able to get through the ones I wasn't liking as much through him hehe.
I did ask for this set as a stocking stuffer and I was thrilled to see that Santa had answered the call. It's so beautifully presented that I almost didn't want to open it, but we've had a lot on of late and the weather has turned sour, so I needed a pick-me-up and this was it.
As you can see, the set includes three creams based on some of Tocca's fragrances: Stella (Italian Blood Orange), Cleopatra (Grapefruit & Cucumber) and Florence (Bergamot & Gardenia).
This review will look at the Florence hand cream, but I'll eventually review each cream in turn and the set as a whole.
Tocca claims/product details:
- A selection of exquisite hand creams delicately perfumed with TOCCA's best-selling fragrances
- Enriched with a blend of shea butter, avocado oil and aloe, these luxurious hand creams will soothe and nourish tired, dry hands
- Delicately scented, the set includes 30ml each of: Cleopatra (a fresh blend of sweet grapefruit and cucumber), Florence (a subtle bergamot and gardenia combination) and Stella (zesty Italian Blood Orange)
- RRP $22 AUD for the set
Verdict
This is beyond divine and I'm absolutely loving it. I've given it an HG tag and I'll be interested to see whether I do that with the other two creams in the set as well.
It's a white cream with a velvety texture that's medium thick and feels lovely on the skin.
This little tube is a great purse size, and I wouldn't want anything larger than a 30ml hand cream because I get bored of things all too easily and want to move on to something else.
It smells beautifully fresh and clean, and this might sound a bit random, but if the green colour on the tube had a scent, I reckon this would be it.
A little goes a long way and it leaves my hands feeling silky but not greasy. The effect lasts a while and I need to use less of this than I do other hand creams - both when it comes to putting it on (you only need a small amount) and also in terms of how many times I need to reapply throughout the day (only twice daily applications of this one).
Another great thing about this is the price: I'm more than happy to pay a measly $22 for 120ml total of hand cream, and this set will last me at least a year, provided I can keep it away from my husband.

Love. I can't wait to try the other two.
