Love me tender - hand cream discontinued by Bella Il Fiore - review by js250

I received my hand lotion by Bella Il Flore today, it was packaged in a clear plastic bag that was tied at the top. The pump had to be twisted and primed before I was able to use it, however, since this is a gift, I unscrewed the cap and applied the lotion using the residue on the pump tube.

The lotion is smooth an silky but does leave a bit of a greasy residue. i have had this on for about an hour and my keyboard is a bit slippery. I noticed this earlier when I applied some lotion, but after doing dishes, I figured I had better reapply. My hands are very soft and have a shiny look due to the residue that has not absorbed into my skin.

This product comes in an 8 oz. bottle and a little bit goes a long ways! I can see this being very worth the money spent and for those who use hand lotions and do not mind the feeling of it on their hands, it is a very good buy.

This smells like the shampoo that is used in salons, very coconutty and so very subtle floral/almond. I do like the scent, but have some issues with the greasy feeling. The floral/almond is too subtle to notice unless you are sniffing for it.

The bottle is beautifully labeled with a retro looking screen. This is a gorgeous accompaniment to your counter or dresser and is very fashionable and makes a perfect gift item for everyone! I am getting this set for my mother-in-law and since she loves the old fashioned, retro look this will suit her perfectly. The set will include the Walnut Sugar Scrub and the Whipped body Creme. I will arrange it in a deco basket with a rolled washcloth and bath towel.

This is a great gift idea, has finally absorbed fully after about two hours and still smells wonderful!!

I have to replace this item! I have been sneaking into it and using this lotion, (which was intended as a gift), to the point where - a) I am a hand lotion addict and b) I need to buy another one for the gift!!

The coconut aroma and the moisturizing effects are amazing and I love this product. Even though I apply far more often than necessary now, it will still last for months and the softness to my hands and feet are amazing. I love using it on my arms and legs as well, especially my trouble areas. My elbows and knees are softer and tend to dry out less frequently.

This is a must have lotion for those of us with dry skin and new lotion addictions!
