Review : JASON Energizing Vanilla Pure Natural Hand & Body Lotion.

The first thing I need to say is - I think I've found my HG hand cream, no joke.

This botanically rich, non-greasy daily lotion naturally delivers deep, long-lasting hydration. The natural blend of energizing Sugar Cane and Vanilla extracts rehydrates and revives dry, tired skin. With use, skin is soft, smooth and glowing with health.

About the brand:

JASON was one of the first to offer natural products without harsh chemicals. For over 50 years JASON have delivered wholesome, no-nonsense, natural products that happen to really work. JASON products dont contain Petrolatum, Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfates, Parabens or Phthalates and never test on animals.

This. Smells. Like. Heaven.. Warm sugary vanilla but not overly sweet. Although this is a hand and body lotion I only use it on my hands and can honestly say I've never used a hand cream before that has left my hands as soft, its amazing and brilliant value - £7.99. The tube is huge and using it only on my hands it'll last a long, long time.

My hands arent overly dry but my mums are cracked from being in and out of water all day, they look almost raw. The first time she tried this cream she noticed a difference straight away, shes tried 100s of hand creams and I've never heard her rave about any of them.. Untill now.

Its just the perfect hand cream.. Brilliant value, non-greasy yet extremely moisturising, smells gorgeous, absorbs quickly and delivers results from the first use.

Whats your fave hand cream? If you havent tried this before you really should, I doubt anyone would be disappointed with it.

November: Used, Abused And Reviewed.

It's rare that I'll ever fully use up anything unless I love it but I have too many half used products hanging around so I've decided to use up what I have before buying any more, It'll help me de-clutter my never ending 'pile of crap' as my mum calls it, and maybe save me some pennies too. This wont be a monthly post, I dont go through stuff that quick but whenever I've gathered a few empties I'll post them here.

So heres a list of what I've managed to use up this month..

Crabtree & Evelyn India Hicks Island Living Spider Lily Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy. 50g £8, 100g £14: This came in the September FeelUnique Beauty Box, it has a lovely citrus scent, moisturises well and has a nice thick but lightweight texture and isnt greasy. I've been using it during the day, everyday since I got it. I love that it's free from parabens, lauryl sulfates, mineral oil, and propylene glycol.

Would I Buy It Again? Yes, or atleast try some other handcreams from Crabtree & Evelyn.

O.P.I Nail Envy Original & Matte: 15ml £18.65 Each: As everyone knows, the price of Nail Envy is beyond a joke, but, I do like it. Nail Envy claims to strengthen nails and prevent breakage, it's a treatment that can be used every other day even on top of nail polish then at the end of the week you just remove all the layers and start again. My nails are strong enough at the mo so I only use it as a base-coat (matte) and top-coat (original) everytime I paint my nails. I havent been using them as much lately though since I tried and fell in love with Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Top-Coat. QVC stock these in a duo for £16.75.. Cheaper than just 1 of them retail for!! I've just checked the QVC web site and they still do the duo's but I can only find them in the matte option, maybe they're just out of stock.

Would I Buy It Again? Yes, as a duo.

Philosophy Amazing Grace Hand Cream: I'm not sure of the exact price as it came in a set but I'd say it's somewhere around £12. Now, I've had this hand-cream for about 2 years, used it non stop at first because I was really trying to look after my hands but after a while, the notion wore off and it ended up in the drawer of neglect. Recently Though I've got back into using hand-cream so have been using this every night before bed. Amazing Grace is one of my fav smells.. ever! It's just so clean, fresh and powdery. The texture is great, my hands are left feeling really soft and protected.

Would I Buy It Again? Yes.
