smh32775's Full Review: L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
One of my favorite things about shopping at Sephora.com is the fact that you get to choose 3 sample items upon checkout. After my last purchase with Sephora, I chose a sample of L'Occitane Hand Creme. I was expecting to just use the sample and be done with the product. Boy, was I wrong!
What's so special about it?
L'Occitane is known for using great ingredients from nature to make it's products (Precious Creme for example). Their hand creme is no exception, made with 20% Shea Butter, this creme is one amazing product!
Silk gloves on my hands
When I tore open the sample pack, I immediatly fell in love with the smell of the hand creme. It has a floral-perfumy aroma. It was awesome! I have to say that at the point, even if the lotion itself was terrible, I'd have continued to use the sample just for the smell!
The cream lotion is thick and white. It reminds me of the consistency of Balmex. Once on my skin, it felt great! It absorbed within seconds and left no greasy after feel. On the contrary, my hands felt like I'd just put silky gloves on them. They no longer felt tight or dry. They felt soft like baby skin. I was truly impressed. The following day, I went to QVC.com and ordered the 1oz size for $8 (they have a 5.2 oz available for $21).
As a girl, I like 'em big
When my regular size portion arrived a week later, I couldn't wait to try the creme out on other body parts. The 20% shea butter makes is an incredible creme for the entire body, not just rough areas. It lasts for hours after I apply it, but sometimes I'll use more just for the scent. It's light enough that I've even made my fiancee try it out, without him having a total conniption fit.
As a regular size, the hand creme comes in a squeeze tube (similiar in look to B&B works aromatherapy lotions) with a screw off black lid. The tube is silver/grey with a blue and brown label.
