I was one of the lucky winners of Essiebutton 's giveaway which was hosted by the company Jurlique. The prize consisted of this rose kit which included their Rose Hand Cream and their 'Love Balm'. The hand cream is about £15 on Feel Unique (link here) and the love balm is £9 (link here) so I was super excited to be getting to try this for free!
If you read my blog often, you many know I have quite the obsession with hand cream so the review on this one isn't a difficult one.
It is extremely moisturising and nourishing, however it wasn't my favourite hand cream that I've ever tried. I love Soap and glory's Hand Food, closely followed by the NUXE Reve De Miel Hand and Nail Cream and this just didn't compare to those. I felt it was a little too thick and kind of stickier than others I have tried. This wasn't a big issue though because I felt it really did care for my hands. The packaging shown in the picture is nice and simple, however the actual bottle of the hand cream is just plain white, which I think is a bit disappointing for the price tag it holds. It is a hard sort of tube (hard to explain) and you have to unscrew the lid to release the product. I prefer to just flip it up and squeeze a nice soft squeezy tube, you know what I'm sayin'?
The 'love balm' feels quite strange; you can't take too much from the pot, a smooth touch gives enough to cover your lips. It is so lightweight and balmy and not thick in the slightest. It feels like a really thin version of a silicone based primer (quite strange) so I would only use this at night. I don't know if it would be a good base for lipstick as it is very slippy.
As for the scent, it is definitely growing on me as a gorgeous scent! I remember Essie raving about how she loves the scent of rose products and I gotta say, I'm kinda lovin it.
Overall, I cannot complain as I received this courtesy of the lovely Essie as part of her giveaway, but I'm just saying I wouldn't buy this with my own money as it's quite expensive and in my opinion there are better dupes of handcreams and lip balms. I'm not fully experienced on rose scented products and I'm not too sure what other brands do them so if you're into rose and you don't mind paying a bit extra, why not try out their rose range?!
Have any of you lovely lot tried any Jurlique products? It's a completely new brand so recommendations would be great!
