MOR Handcream Review

This product is one of things where the inner hoarder in me and the clutter hating ruthless B in me had an all out war. The packaging is exquisite. I have never wanted to keep a box more than this. It was absolutely stunning and for that reason alone made an amazing gift for me. I ended up chucking it though because I am truly a heartless cow when it comes to things that clutter these days (2 kids, tiny 2 bedroom house...watch out anything that gets in my way!). And that was just the box! The tube is equally gorge and now that I'm close to running out I admit I will be really sad to throw this one out, where usually panning a product gives me such glee.

Review done.

Oh wait that's right there's actually a product inside.

The contents are a good handcream. Not brilliant, perhaps heading towards the great side of good. They did the job hydration wise but my hands are a serious case in neglect and they need more than most handcreams are offering.

My major turn off is two-fold. One, it's a slow absorb. Not as slow as some mind you, but I am a woman of action and I don't have time to stand around waiting for cream to sink in.

Two, the scent. It's super overpowering. I got the scent "Belladona" and while it's not terrible it's much stronger than I would like and it gives me a headache. It has about 5 squillion things it's "enriched with" or "containing" too, it's simply too much. I'm sure this could easily be rectifies by simply picking a scent more to my taste if I repurchase though.

I am hand cream obsessed, it is a must in my handbag at all times. The thing about the MOR hand creams are that they look luxurious, they have a gold cap! They also come in a array of scents - the two I have on my desk now are Snow Gardenia and Marshmallow - Snow Gardenia has to be my fave (smells like sweet jasmine tea). It is probably personal preference but I will recommend steering clear of Lychee, it is seriously sweet and in your face, someone commented that it smelt like they had just walked past the Lush store...

One thing I find with these hand creams are that they are not overly moisturising. The texture is quite thick and rich not greasy though but I don't find my hands are any softer after use. I apply it all day long but I still find myself reaching for my OPI avojuice (which make my hands feel so soft). Maybe I've become immune to it since I use it so often!

Anyways, nice to have when you want a bit of luxury and they do smell very nice. They also make very smart gifts, MOR packages them beautifully with their other products as well otherwise you can get a box set of hand creams.

I absolutely love this product! My skin can be quite sensitive to different moisturizers, but as MOR handcream is sulfate and paraben free it is no worries at all! Above all, it is the most gorgeous smelling hand softening cream I have used to date!

I was given one of these hand creams in Blaxkcurrent and Iris in a pamper pack for Xmas. I've never been a huge fan of hand creams as I don't like having a greasy left over feeling, and unfortunately this one is the same. I found it takes quite a bit if rubbing in and still leaves my hands feeling a bit oily. However I have seen results, with my hands feeling softer esp in between my fingers and on the balls of my palms. Also the smell is delightful!! Slightly fruity rather than flowery, and is quite strong (which is a plus for me, but might not be for everyone!). Consistency wise it's thick, cool and spreads easy, so one tube will last you ages.

Overall I would consider buying this again for a winter time at night hand cream, but would consider others more suited to my tastes for daily use.

I never used to really use hand creams, but this winter the combination of the cool season and my occupation seemed to really dry my hands out so when I received a MOR Handcream in Bluebell Fields I was intrigued.

This contained argan oil which I know does wonders for my hair and shea butter, the resulting scent being quite strong and not unpleasant but not something I would have personally chosen.

The formula is quite a thick cream which I really like in a hand cream. It absorbed well and left my hands feeling soft and moisturised. The only downside was it did leave my hands feeling slightly greasy afterwards.

I've now completely used up my MOR Handcream which I've never done with a hand cream before, so safe to say I got my use out of it! It definately helped that it comes in such a convenient size which allowed me to carry it in my handbag for daily use.

I think for the price this is a pretty good buy, I would probably repurchase if I found a scent that I liked a bit more than this one.

This hand cream smells incredible!! I want to eat it! It is very moisturising and soaks into the skin really fast, leaving you with no oily or sticky residue.This might not be a good option if you have very dry hands since the formula isn't too heavy and will probably not provide the best moisture. The honey scent lingers quite long and is just devine.

love, love, love this hand cream :). The size makes it very portable, it absorbs quickly and instantly leaves your hands feeling softer. the snow gardenia hand cream has a floral pollen-y scent that's lasts ages. I was given this as a gift which is good because I don't think 50mls of handcream is worth $16.99 buts its nice for a touch of luxury.

Ok, I'm a bit of a handcream fanatic, I like to apply handcream numerous times throughout the day and have tubes everywhere around my house and even in my car and handbag so I can get my 'fix'. This handcream is probably one of the most luxurious ones that I've ever used before. I have used up a tube of the honey nectar and am currently using neroli clementine.

Lets start with packaging. It's a sturdy looking tube, they are all different colours according to scent and they have gold writing and black caps. Pretty simple but it looks quite classy.

The smell of these are just devine! The clementine has a slightly citrusy, warm smell. Nothing too sweet or spicy. The honey nectar funnily enough smells like a gorgeous, sweet honey. I've would love to try out sugar rose and marshmallow,they sound really good!

The formula is nice, it's not super thick so it rubs in easily and leaves no greasy or sticky feeling afterwards. My hands stay moisterised for a little while after, like probably a couple of hours which seems to be pretty standard for most hand creams.

It is on the more expensive side so it's not my 1st choice for handcream. I buy it off ezibuy when they have good specials on. They quite often have half price deals so I buy it then. Overall, I think this handcream would make a lovely gift for someone and it is a nice handcream to use for yourself as well.

I have this in Belladonna and does it smell good! It feels amazing on my hands... As long as I remember to keep them moisturised. My hands dry out very very quickly and this isn't the best cream for them at all though it might be a different story if I had oily skin like on my face. When I use this I often have to reapply in half an hour but the good thing about that is that this will be gone sooner!

The packaging is absolutely beautiful. I actually have a different one to the one shown and mine has a gold cap, white tube and gold on the front with some writing in French on it. It'd probably break my heart to throw out the packaging once it's gone!

Would I get this again? No but I'm keen on their argan oil range. I want to see if they hydrate my hands for hours like the L'Occitane shea butter one did!
