The Body Shop Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream
Hello Beautiful Ladies,
The Body Shop has been a favorite of me and my family and when the recent Sale was on me and sissy hauled like crazy. You will be seeing review of few more in the coming days. As of now I will be reviewing a new launch by The Body Shop-Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream.
Product Description:
Moisturizes, conceals odor and leaves hand feeling fresh. With Absinthe extract and Community Fair Trade shea butter. Triclosan free. All skin types.
Packaging:
Quite an interesting packaging. These aluminum tubes have a vintage feel. I somehow like them though there is a chance of not getting the last bit out of the tube. The cap is a strong plastic screw one which fits in properly and there is rarely and chance of spillage.
Price:
Rs 995 for 100ml (we got some discount being membership card holders)
My experience with The Body Shop Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream:
The summer’s already in but my dry rough hands love to stay with me. I am unable to apply anything too thick due to the hot and humid climate and thus I got myself a lighter hand-cream. This also claims to conceal odor which was again a pro for me because my kitchen chores demand odor concealing. I agree totally that this cream conceals odor (yes, “non-veg” odor too). But people who stay in air-conditioned places will not be satisfied with the moisture that this gives. You might crave for something thicker. The cream gets absorbed super fast and am quite liking it for the summers. The price may seem steep but only a little is required so am not complaining on that part. It is a great find as it is non-sticky, absorbed quickly, conceals odor and quite moisturizing for the summers. Am superbly satisfied….
After rubbing in: See how gooey it is….
