How many of you like Strawberry milkshake? I am talking about rich ripe strong flavored strawberries in milk, cream, ice, sugar or sugar free 😛 lol I am not here for any strawberry milkshake recipes but I want to share exactly the same I have in my hand right now 🙂 Today I want to review one of my favorite smelling hand cream. I come across recently – Etude House Mini Jam Jam Hand Lotion in Strawberry.

But first of all let me talk about Etude House, its one of a leading Korean brand and got raved over blogosphere. There are so many variants and products available in markets which are very popular not only in Korea but all over the world. Thanks to online international shopping sites!

Price:

No mention in the tube but it’s available for $5.99 for 35 ml (1.18 fl.oz.) each or you may get at discounted price also from few Korean sites.

My Take:

Previously I talked about one of my favourite hand creams i.e L’Occitane Rose Petals Hand Cream which I absolutely love and today this review is kind of same but more over strawberry. Am I getting obsessed over strawberries.?? mmhh not really but actually yes obsessed over this summery, fruity, fresh yet rich strong smell of strawberry hand cream from Etude House!

The first thing I notice soon I opened the seal is the smell of fresh Strawberries. Strong yet sweet, fresh summery fruity flavor which is an absolute favorite for those who love strawberries. They have this Jam Jam hand Lotion formulated for dry and rough skin. They also have other variants as well. I was dying to try these hand creams and one of my friend-cum-sister sent 2 of these variants from Singapore. One is this and the other in Lemon flavor which I will review soon.

This hand lotion is just 35 ml and I fear I would end up soon if I use it daily twice a day, I am using this every after alternative day of giving a gap of 2 days. But whenever I use it (mainly at night time) after long tiring day it always enhanced my mood and make me feel exotic. As if I am in some strawberry field. Lol. I am loving this product needless to say by far this is one of the best smelling hand cream I came across. It absorb quickly do not leave any greasy feelings which I hate in this summer. Its good for oily skins too.

What I like?:

I just love the rich cream strawberry smell of it, the best ever strawberry smell
The texture of the cream is very light which gets absorb in 2 minutes.
The smell again which last for almost 1 hour and then fade away
Do not feel any sticky feeling
Hydrates your skin
The packaging is sleek and handy, easily to carry.
Easy to carry

What I don’t like?:

The price is the main con which is higher for 35 ml of product.
Not enough moisturizing in winters
Doesn’t work on cuticles
Doesn’t help in removing tan.
Availability is main factor.

Final Verdict:

I like this hand cream a lot just because of the smell. It has that kind of smell which I would like to smell everyday. Otherwise there are lots of other hand creams available in the market. I may try to grab another one once I finish this one. 🙂

I love rose and I am sure every girls do. When ever I think about rose around me I head towards my L’Occitane Rose Shea Butter Hand Cream. Last time when I was at L’Occitane Store and wanted to get a good hand cream from their range.

The SA swatched so many hand creams and after I sniffed each of them I fell in love with this one. He insisted me to use this as it has 20% – 25% of Shea Butter in it and meant for dry skin. L’Occitane somehow always tempts me towards their products but I never got a chance to use any. But this time I garb and quickly paid for this hand cream and yeah this is my first L’Occitane product 🙂 I have always wanted something with rose fragrance and I so love it…!

Today I am going to review one of my favorite hand cream. I am a hand cream freak just because I have dry skin, my hand needs extra care. Many girls and women do travel a lot, do multipurpose work like job, work, cook, taking care of kids etc.. Hence don’t get enough time to take care of their hands. After which it’s tend to become super flaky and dry. Like skincare a proper hand care is also must. L’Occitane Rose Petals Hand Cream is such a savior for dry skin ladies..

Claims of the Hand Cream:

This Hand Cream, enhanced with a floral fragrance evoking sugar-coated rose petals, is highly concentrated with Shea Butter to help protect, nourish and soften skin.

Ingredients:

Direction to use: Apply on washed and clean dry hands especially at night before bed to get soft and smooth hand (according to L’Occitane SA).

Price:

Rs. 530 for 30 ml.

My Take on L’Occitane Shea Butter Rose Petals Hand Cream:

I have been using this L’occitane Rose Petals Hand Cream for more than 2 weeks now and I am lovvving it. I was confused regarding why anyone need hand creams separately when there is so many body lotion, body cream and body butters available in market. While ours hands also belongs to our body isn’t it? Then what’s the need?

Thanks to my friend Savita for introducing and explaining the fact behind hand creams. They help in repair and provide intense moisturization to tired and dry hands. Till then I am using this Hand cream religiously and I now can feel the difference. Less dryness, stretchiness but smooth, supple and moisturized hand. I am so addicted towards it smell. 😀 Yyaay!!

What I like about this Hand Cream:

As I already mentioned above, I love how its smell like an original rose, no artificial odor.
The texture of this cream is light to medium good for dry skin ladies
Little goes for a long way.
Absorb quickly. I hate creams which feel sticky or greasy on me. But this hand cream gets quickly absorb into skin leaving behind a soft supple hydrating feeling.
The smell again which last for almost 1 hour and then fade away..
Makes my hand moisturize, soft and smooth. You can feel the effect next morning.
The good part is you can even use this hand cream in day time when you feel your hand need some moisture.
The packaging is sleek and handy, easily to carry.
So small to adjust in your purse easily.
Those who like rose smell fragrances will definitely like this cream.

What I don’t like about this Hand Cream:

The price is much high for such a small quantity.
Will not provide much moisturization in winter season.
Oily skin beauties may find bit greasy.
Didn’t work on my cuticles.
The smell may be annoying for someone with sensitive nose.
Do not help in removing tan.

MABH Rating: 3.5/5

Final Verdict:

I like this hand cream simply because its contain shea butter which is good for dry skin and rose smell in it. Otherwise it’s a ordinary everyday kind hand cream. I may not buy such a expensive product for only 30 ml which is a big drawback according to me. I am in search of another rose smelling hand cream 😉
