Bee Lovely Hand Cream
Even though hand creams are staple of many of us, one of the body part we neglect more is the hands. It feels like we don't have that extra a few minutes to apply products to keep our hands soft... Like baby skin soft! Can Bee Lovely Hand Cream make your hands as soft as baby skin?
This year's M&S Beauty&Makeup Advent Calendar must be the best. There are so many great deluxe samples as well as some full size products in it. Since we are in December now, I thought I'd review the products in it.
When you open the first door, you get 50 ml Bee Lovely Hand Cream (50 ml - £10). This size is ideal for carrying in the bag and also for trying out a different hand cream. It is described as "Moisturising organic honey is blended with energising orange essential oil to nourish the skin and lift the spirits". To me it smells more like tangerine, rather than the orange&honey. Smell is not so overwhelming, however, if you prefer unscented products then you probably won't like it. At least there's no synthetic fragrances, but all organic.
This is a creamy and quite think cream. You only need a pea size to cover your hands. It takes a while to sink in so when you're in a rush, you might want to apply lighter hand creams. Once it sinks in properly, hands feel so soft and you can feel that there's a protective layer.
Let's carry on with the not so good part... Benefits aren't long lasting. If you wash your hands then you will feel that the effects are fading so it is best to reapply. There are some creams that can protect your hands even after washing them. Unfortunately this is not one of them. In order to get the full benefits of the cream, you should reapply every a few hours.
There are so many hand creams in the market, some cheaper and some higher than this. When it runs out, it wouldn't be the first product that I would repurchase. I like the smell and the softness it gives, however, I don't like the feel of cream layer and fact that the effects don't last for hours put me off.
What's your favourite hand cream? What are you looking from a good hand cream? Have you tried Bee Lovely Hand Cream?

Thank you!
Sounds nice, particularly the fragrance, but I agree with you about a longer lasting effect - with such a thick formula you would expect that. x <a href="http://www.katelouiseblogs.com" rel="nofollow">Kate Louise Blogs</a>

I wouldn't want to pay that much to a hand cream, there are so many cheap and good ones!
Absolutely.
I go though hand creams so quickly I can't justify buying expensive ones ;) My favourite is from Palmer's, it's fantastic at deeply moisturising the skin and it's cheap! x <a href="http://www.mummysbeautycorner.com/" rel="nofollow">Mummy's Beauty Corner</a>
I'm the same so I always stick to my cheap and good ones :) x

I also have the advent calendar, I feel like a little girl on Christmas day! Im not a very big fan of the scent but its lovely on the hands Vanessa x | www.springlilies.com
I was so impatient that I opened them all and testing them, so I'd write about them daily :) x
That is so cool. I have been wanting to get an advent calendar like those. Sucks that it doesn't last long though.
This is one of the best beauty advent calendars!
I've been wanting to switch to natural products for a while, and this seems intriguing. however, I am so lay when it comes to reapplying, that a longer lasting hand cream would ultimately make more sense for me to buy. but I love the sound of the organic honey in this one. https://cynicalduchess.blogspot.com
I wish it was a little bit long lasting, sometimes I forget applying hand cream then my hands get so dry!
My favourite hand cream is the l'Occitane one, I personally don't like when hand creams are thick consistency. Will you be showing all the things you get in the advent calendar? I'm curious to see what else there is :) <a href="http://www.samanthaseries.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Samantha Series</a>
I am planning to post them everyday, so far managed to post 3 of them, let's see how it goes :) There are some really good products in this calendar, I am really impressed!
This advent calendar look so cute ! My current favorite hand cream is from TBS. It's bad that this one doesn't last long but sounds great :) -Karishma http://yourbeautyjournal.com/studio-gear-comestics-pro-t-l-s-mascara-gel-liner-and-brush-review/
It is a really good one, I am loving all the products :)
That advent calender looked like an absolute treat!! I love scented hand creams but its a shame that this one isnt long lasting Rachel xx http://www.thedailyluxe.net

I wish I had bought this calendar! xx <a href="http://www.beautylymin.com" rel="nofollow">Beautylymin</a>
There are some really good products in it, I am happy that I got it xx
I couldn't agree more, I always neglect using hand cream! But I get such dry skin there, so it makes no sense haha. I love citrus smelling scents, especially if they're natural. This cream sounds like it would be good for when you're on the go, like a quick top up of moisture. But I get what you mean about not liking creams that take forever to sink in. I'm the same that's why I just stick to my E45, I know boring haha.xx - www.veebzboo.com - www.youtube.com/veebzboo
E45 is one of the best, it is best to stick to one that you know is good :) x
