Etude House – Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream in Steam Milk

Etude House – Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream  in Steam Milk

Price: 5000 won (Less than $5)
Size: 50ml

5% Shea Butter

Than Hand Bouquet cream comes in 2 types. Steam milk or Collagen. I LOVE the collagen cream. So I bought the steam milk.
I don’t like it nearly as much.
It’s a thick off white cream, with such a mild smell it is barely noticeable.
The cream itself absorbs well, but not completely.

It’s really thick, but not as thick as the Collagen version.
All in all I do like it. I keep this one in one purse, and the Collagen version in another.

The tube packaging is really handy. I have a number of pots of hand cream(or jars if you will), which makes application a pain, because your fingertips always get greasy, and I end up with moisturizer under my finger nails.
The tube is great, because it lets me dispense it on the back of my hand, or my palm, or wherever, without involving my fingertips!

It’s kind of weird thing to like, but it’s handy when you don’t want to sit around and wait for your moisturizer to absorb.

I may be addicted to hand creams…. My hands always end up so dry! I think It’s because I hand wash so many dishes.

A lot of Korean brands have been coming out with Fruit shaped Items, possibly ripping of the Japanese B&C which has been doing fruit shapes for ages.
So has Tony Moly. Now Bavi Phat is into, and the Face shop, and I am sure I have seen stuff at other shops!!

The Faceshop apple hand cream smell divine!  It smells like apple, still like perfume, but there is a freshness, and a realisticness to the scent that makes it enchanting.
The cream itself is really nice. It’s surprisingly white(Most moisturizers tend to be cream colored). It absorbs well, and has an almost gel-cream like texture. It does leave a bit of a greasy layer. I know some people hate that!
It’s really not bad though, it just leaves hands a bit slick. Just a bit.

All in all it’s a really nice hand cream, but other than the scent it isn’t anything special!

Tony moly peach hand cream

Tony Moly - Peach Hand cream
Price: 4500won ($4.50)

When I bought this, I didn't know what it was.... I know that the Tonymoly tomato is brightening and the Apple is a peel, so I figured since the peach smelled good it must be something lovely.
Tonymoly is a brand here in Korea that I haven't really gotten into yet. Mostly because the products have little to no English on them....
The Peach, has nothing at all in english.
When I'm out shopping, it's hard to be enticed by something without knowing what it is.... I tend to be drawn to brands like skinfood and etude house which offer a little bit of information.
(I totally get that I'm in Korea, and I don't expect there to be English on everything, or anything really. I don't fault a brand for being all in it's native language, it just makes it harder for me to buy stuff.)

Anyway, I found out once I brought the Peach home, it is a hand cream.
Apparently it is both Anti-wrinkle and whitening; containing vitamin C, peach and apricot extracts.
It's random that hand creams are anti wrinkle... But it can't hurt... right?
The hand cream is thick, with a yellow/cream color and a strong peach scent.
the smell is nice, part really peach, with a slight tinge of fake/chemical. I really like it.
The cream texture is smooth and lovely. It absorbs really well, and the scent isn't overpowering when applied.

Its a nice hand cream. It's just not an amazing hand cream.

Writing about hand creams might be as boring as Shit. The only thing worse would be reading about them.
But oh, do continue reading....

Ah my beloved Etude house, has an assortment of moisturizing products. So far, some I have hated. The stupid lemon sugar moistrizer which, frankly, blew.

So why I was tempted to buy the Rich Collagen Hand cream I don't know.
Probably because it was in a pretty display at the front of the store. *damn product placement*

This hand cream is AMAZING. I am madly in love with it, and carry it absolutely everywhere with me.
it comes out of the tube thick, and with a soft buttery yellow color.
It absorbs beautifully, and the smell is light.

Best of all, its a thick heavy cream, that leaves my hand feeling smooth and well moisturized for ages and ages.
