Soap and Glory Hand Food


Hand cream was always one of those things I was incredibly lazy about. This winter I decided to be much more diligent about protecting my hands for the harsh winter weather. This newfound commitment meant a trip to Boots was in order where I picked up, my now essential, Soap and Glory's Hand Food. 

Soap and Glory seems to be quite a popular brand in the beauty community and Hand Food seemed to be a particularly raved about product. I can understand why it is such a loved brand, adorable packaging, smells divine, affordable, accessible and most importantly does a good job. The small tube on the right cost me about €3.50, which I think is very reasonable. You get a good bit of product and it's the perfect size for throwing in your bag. I picked up the larger bottle in the Boots sale in a set with a matching hand wash. In the sale, it worked out cheaper buying the set than just the hand cream on its own. The bottle on its own retails for around €9, again very reasonable for the amount of product. 

I hate greasy, heavy hand creams that takes ages to absorb into the skin, which is not a problem here at all. Hand Food is fairly light in texture and absorbs into the quite quickly. I have found it has keep my hands moisturised and soft whenever I have used it. Hand Food also has the added advantage of smelling lovely. It has the signature Soap and Glory scent, which I have heard likened to the Miss Dior Cherie perfume. 

I will continue to repurchase Hand Food for the foreseeable future and definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good hand cream.

Welcome to my very first Youtube video! To mark the end of 2012, I decided to film my 2012 Beauty Favourites. I love watching favourite videos in general and I think annual favourites are a great way of seeing what products people really love. It was my first time filming and editing so there are a few mistakes.


If you have any ideas for future videos, I would love to hear them.
