L'Occitane almond Delicious Hands 30 ml

I can't say enough good things about Beauty Affairs. I've been a loyal customer now for about three years and can't fault their delivery - it feels like I get VIP Express Post when I just make a regular order. I (now) do a lot of online shopping across the board (clothes, shoes, beauty, etc.) and Beauty Affairs stand out from every other vendor I have shopped with throughout COVID as fast, reliable, and essentially flawless in their supply chain when even the previously-good-ones have slowly fallen victim throughout 2021 to COVID disruptions and delays. Whatever they're doing, it works! I will only shop elsewhere for beauty, cosmetics, and perfume on the odd occasion they don't stock a brand I want, but apart from that, I say: MECCA, who? Sephora, what? ^.^

I have always loved the fast service of Beauty Affairs with free samples with my orders. Last month my shampoo bottle broke in the post and leaked everywhere. When I advised Beauty Affairs they sent a new bottle straight away free of charge. Unfortunately this order did not arrive so when I advised them of this Anna at Client Care sent me a new bottle straight away but along with this she also sent me the matching conditioner, and my favourite full cleanser to say sorry. I have not experienced such amazing customer service in a long time. I’ve always had amazing service from Beauty Affairs and will not buy my beauty products anywhere else

The shea butter cream is worth every penny if you have dry, scaly hands. I only apply a small amount, and it works quickly and absorbs in. Considering how little you need to apply, I consider it to be a better value than the drugstore eczema creams, which aren’t cheap and have a horrible greasy texture.The other scents aren’t worth buying except for amande; they’re less rich than the shea butter version, and have offputtingly strong fragrances. Amande worked fine for my hands but I had to apply more than the shea version.I like that the creams come in an aluminum tube. The downsides are the lid is finnicky, and as you roll the tube, pinholes can develop and the cream will come out them.

I've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier. I purchased around $200+ of skincare and was completely devastated when it happened, as I didn't think I would be able to get it resent or refunded because it wasn't Beauty Affair’s fault. I contacted them and to my surprise, they immediately offered to resend or refund my purchase, not only that but they included a gift! I have never had such exceptional customer service from any other company in my whole life! Knowing they are a relatively small (compared to Sephora etc) Australian owned brand makes it even more impressive and I'm so happy (even excited) to know my money is going to a company that highly values its customers. ... MoreI've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier.

I would encourage EVERYONE to shop here. Side note: they are also very budget inclusive with the range of products they carry which is always lovely. Thank you Beauty Affairs!!!!

I had a very good experience with Lorena from customer support. I was querying the cost of Youngblood mineral makeup on live chat (excellent product by the way) of which I had bought 2. The cost of the item displayed for sale appeared less than the final checkout price. It turned out the sale price was for a particular color but this was unclear on the page. Lorena looked into the discrepancy immediately and after explaining the reason, offed to give me a refund on that particular sale to compensate for the confusion. She was polite and considerate throughout. It’s good to know that such a fabulous Aussie company has such lovely staff!

You know, my nose is very picky about fragrances. Sometimes it may initially like something and then decide it doesn't like it later. And most of the time it definitely doesn't like a scent. This one is just very fresh and sweet, and everyone I use it around loves it. That's a great plus for me. Other than the fantastic scent, it works wonders on my hands as well. I wash my hands a few times a day and it really helps them stay moisturized. You can't go wrong with this product.

Having perpetually dry hands, I often find myself forgetting to apply hand cream. That's why having a trusty hand cream with me at all times is crucial. I absolutely adore these small hand creams, as they never go to waste and maintain a refreshing fragrance until the very last drop. Opting for the smaller sizes is a personal choice, as it allows me to use them up before they expire. These hand creams are my best friends, ensuring my hands stay moisturized wherever I go. My Indispensable Companion! Always in my bag!

Effective hand cream!

This is quite a heavy duty hand moisturizer so I don't use it regularly, only during winter or if travelling somewhere colder where my skin requires the extra moisture. It's in one of those dreaded metal tubes, the ones that you try and squeeze the last bits out of but can't, and that starts leaking through holes when you're barely half way through. The good part is that it is definitely not greasy or leaves a film of any kind on your hands. I find it absorbs quickly and my hands feel much more supple for hours afterwards. Often I find I only need to use once per day, not twice. The only downside is the fragrance which has more than a passing resemblance to baby powder, which you either like or you don't. I fall into the latter category unfortunately. But fragrance ... MoreThis is quite a heavy duty hand moisturizer so I don't use it regularly, only during winter or if travelling somewhere colder where my skin requires the extra moisture.

Product is good, Sephora version of it isn’t

When I first got this I was really put off by the texture. It was too thick, hard to apply and it’d take a while to be absorbed by the skin. It then occurred me to stop by a L‘Occitane store and ask for a sample of it.Indeed, what I got from Sephora is far from the real deal. Either Sephora got a bad batch of this or it wasn’t stored adequately or something, but what I received is definitely not right.If your only option is to buy this online, probably best to skip it, and if you’re buying at a Sephora store be sure to check the texture before purchasing.The sample I got from L‘Occitane is actually quite good and I’d recommend the product if you can it properly.

a true lavender scent and soft hands

We’ve had these little aluminum tubes of l’Occitane hand cream around the house and cars for years now. My husband loves the lavender fragrance, and I prefer the Shea Butter and Almond fragrances. These hand creams are very special; the formula absorbs well into the skin and doesn’t leave hands greasy. They make all the little lines disappear as the skin is nourished.Just a warning about the Cherry Blossom fragrance. It is VERY strong and not to my liking; I had a tube come in a set and was trying to use it up, so I put it in my car. Then this happened: I was headed to my Drs office for an appointment; the clinic is a ‘fragrance free’ environment and they’re pretty strict about it, when I go there I don’t put on any perfume just an unscented deodorant.

So I went in for the appointment my Dr started getting upset with me because she was certain I was wearing perfume. I wasn’t, so I was very puzzled, turns out it was the freaking Cherry Blossom hand cream I had put on an hour earlier when I climbed into my car for the drive. That’s how strong and offensive it is to people around; she could smell it across the room, I was so embarrassed. I threw the tube in the trash after that.The 3 scents I mentioned (Lavender, Shea butter and Almond) are very mellow and not offensive at all. If you’re sensitive to scents don’t get the Cherry Blossom or the Rose hand creams; they’re very pungent.
