This is the final post of P10P although I will continue to post about products that have been used up (maybe a collective post every few weeks). The product to have been used up this time is the L'Ocittane Desert Rose Shea hand cream (30ml) which I got as a magazine freebie, but I can tell you that I would most definitely pay full price (£7.50) for it.
The hand cream is not too thick, but does moisturise very well and I love the smell which is more of a fresh rose smell, rather than a vintage(?) rose smell (no idea if you understand what I mean). It's not greasy at all and is absorbed by the skin quite quickly. I tend to massage the hand cream into my hands, focusing paticularly on the cuticles and fingertips as this is where the skin is really dry. I love the paint tube style packaging, although I had the initial fear that it would burst in my bag. After being squashed between textbooks and buried at the bottom of my uni bag, I can definitely say that it hasn't split down the side!
I also have the Original Shea Butter hand cream, which is just as good as this one (only it has a different smell) but I would definitely be repurchasing after this one has been used up, maybe trying out a different scent.
Have you tried the L'Ocittane hand creams? What did you think?

Part of the reason I want to go to the UK is magazine freebies! LOL. I like that packaging.
ReplyDeleteI love magazine freebies! Especially ones like this where the product is actually really good. I'm not too keen on the paint tube packaging but it's a lot easier to carry around than a tub or a large tube =)
DeleteAsalamu alaikum! I haven't tried any L'Occittane products but I seem to always hear good stuff about them. InshaAllah I shall try the hand cream!

Wa alaikum Salaam! L'Occitane products are definitely good (although pricey). Plus they give samples when you purchase something so there is always something new to try =)
DeleteLove hand creams generally,, hmm I should try this one out !!

Definitely try it! There are loads of great inexpensive hand creams out there, but I do like this one (even though it's a bit pricey), mostly because it does feel luxurious (which you would expect from L'Occitane) and it lasts quite a long time =)
