Lush Smitten Hand Cream

I was given this hand cream in a 45g bottle as part of a gift set. It's almond-scented and really does smell quite sickly - its definitely not my thing but some people would like it.

You only need to put on a small amount as it's quite greasy at first and a little goes a long way. It has the consistency of a cream rather than a lotion.

After it has sunk in (this takes a while), my hands do feel soft. However, compared to the lotion (Vaseline) I was using before, my skin doesn't look as in good condition. It's not dry or flaky or anything but somehow it just seems a bit redder and less healthy-looking.

Overall this does give a good moisturising effect, but I wouldn't choose to buy it myself, since I dislike the smell and feel there are better lotions out there.
