Hey there!
Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start =] Today, I have a small but mighty review of some hand and cuticle care products courtesy of the folks from Mario Badescu. You'll have to excuse the lack of photos on my part...there wasn't too much I could show you guys...unless you want to watch me rub lotion into my hands =P! Let's get going!
First up, the Cuticle Cream. This was more of a gel than a cream or a lotion, but it sure hydrates the heck out of beat up cuticles! I used this consistently for a week or two and I definitely noticed a change in my nail strength and cuticle health. The smell is light; it's slightly floral, but it doesn't last forever on your hands. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot! A .5 oz tub will run you an affordable $10.00. I can guarantee that it will last you a long time...a little goes a long way!
Next, I tried the Special Hand Cream with Vitamin E. You don't need a huge amount of this thick cream to feel it's effects, just a dab should be enough for both of your hands. I wasn't too fond of the smell of this one...it has a strong floral/perfumey scent that did last a while on my hands. With my sensitive nose, I usually prefer light scents when it comes to my lotion. It was extremely hydrating, but a tad greasy for me. Those of you needing some serious hydration would benefit from Special Hand Cream immensely! It costs $8.00 for 4 oz. or $14.00 for 8 oz.
The Hydrating Hand Cream is my absolute favorite of the bunch! This super hydrating, non-greasy, lightly scented wonder worked a miracle on my dry hands! I used the entire sample within the first week or two that I had it...and I'm seriously considering grabbing more soon. I've tried a LOT of different hand product, and this joins the ranks of my favorites! It costs $10.00 for 4 oz., and I'd happily pay that price for this incredible product. LOVE!Lastly, I tried the Elasto-Seamollient Hand Cream. I'm torn on this one because although the smell and results are great, it's a little greasy when you first apply it and I'm not a fan of that. It seems to soak in pretty quickly, but those first couple minutes of grease aren't fun to me, haha =P This cream is good for repairing dry and damaged skin because of the emollients. It will run you either $8.00 for 4 oz. or $14.00 for 8 oz., it may be worth a try for those of you needing some extra TLC =]!
There you have it, friends! If you are interested in trying any of these products yourself, they are available via their website and also at Ulta. Go like them on Facebook to be in the know ;)!
Have a stupendous day =]!

Lindsey
