I am a big fan of Soap & Glory’s affordable products and super-cute retro packaging. So when I received this hand cream in a Soap & Glory Christmas pack, I was really excited to try it.
This review is of the 50ml travel-size in Original Pink, which is rose and bergamot scented. The bottle is bright pink, and rests on its cap. The text on the bottle is in silver, white and black. The hand cream claims to be “non-greasy” and “hydrating”. The cream itself is white. Although the rose scent is quite strong, it is not unpleasant. The cream is reasonably easy to squeeze out of the tube. It absorbs into the skin quickly, and is true to its word of being “non-greasy”. This cream also feels very rich and is great for dry hands. I love to put this on just before bed so it soaks in overnight.
Altogether this is a very luxurious feeling, yet affordable cream
Soap and Glory are the absolute masters of body products. They've nailed the most amazing formulas, cutest packaging and done it all for a miniscule pricetag that gets me Mecca Beauty Loop points. I've been sold on these for ages and now I can get them in NZ I'm so so happy.
But I digress......
The Hand Food actually comes in a wee half price, half sized handbag option as well - $4 ish for 50 mls. I'd recommend getting the smaller size to carry around.
Packaging is the typical S&G dusky pink with graphic labelling that is sturdy enough not to leak when thrown into bags and carted around on planes (trust me on that one!)
The cream is very thick - borderline body butter consistency - and white, with a delicate scent that is apparently rose and bergamot. Other key ingredients are shea butter, macadamia oil and (interestingly) marshmallow.
It absorbs pretty quickly - not super fast but it *is* really thick, and the residue isn't at all greasy. Hands are left with a soft scent, and lusciously hydrated.
It's so cheap you could apply it a dozen times a day if you needed to, but you really won't, it gets the job done.
Cheap luxury that earns me rewards? I'm so IN....
