Crabtree and Evelyn - Pomegranate Hand Therapy @ Wednesday, September 12, 2012


Pomegranate Argan & Grapeseed Hand Therapy

From the Crabtree & Evelyn website:

Our intensive hand cream is blended with macadamia nut, pomegranate, grapeseed, and argan  oils, moisturises and smoothes dry skin and leaves your hands feeling incredibly soft.

Fragrance: The tart sweetness of pomegranate coupled with a burst of citrus and fresh fig leaf.

Ingredients: Shea butter, macadamia nut, pomegranate, grapeseed, and argan oils moisturise and soothe hands, while myrrh helps condition cuticles and nails.  Formulated without parabens, phthaletes, propylene glycol, and mineral oil.

This seems to be C&E's latest addition to their collection, as they're promoting this as a GWP (gift with purchase), a classic handcream in a new scent with personality. The formula is like all their other hand therapies, not as creamy and rich as L’Occitane's but more of a watered down version of Jurlique's, with the first ingredient on the list being water.  

Liked
- Scent, it comes in a variety of scents
- Consistency
- Non-greasy, can use keyboard almost right after


Didn't like...
- Thin aluminium tube, not bag friendly
- Cap, needs full attention to be screwed on
- Price $28/100ml or $20/50ml


Summary: I'd recommend it, the only major drawback is the price, especially with the Evelyn Rose, as it only comes in the 100ml for $30. But for all the other scents they come in two sizes.

Rating: 4/5 (-1 for the price)


Here's the new link for the $10 voucher and free 25g handcream, it says Pomegranate, but MC is giving out the Citrus one, which is more male friendly.

Conditions
- Minimum purchase of $10.00 (doesn't say it has to be on one item)
- Voucher can only be used once per customer (per store ;)

- Subject to availability (as always)
- Expires 30/9/2012
