Etoile Tsubaki Oil Hand Cream


My hands are so dry! What's going on? It's all this drying weather and constant hand washing at work! So I decided to invest in another hand cream but this time with extra moisturizing oils to it. This is the Etoile Tsubaki Oil Hand Cream. It's not a famous brand or anything but I wanted to get something with the tsubaki/camellia oils in it. Camellia(tsubaki) is a very mosturizing oil that is used for hair in Japan traditionally but it is now used in skin care products. It is for extremely dry skin and can be used for massage oil to stretch mark healing.


The hand cream comes out in a thick paste-ish cream that smells of camellia/tsubaki which almost smells real nice like herbal flowers. It's not too overpowering but not too subtle. The cream is definitely on the thick side and absorbs fairly well. The moisture level is high intensity to me! I feel this almost heavy somewhat oily texture on my hands afterwards but after it sets in, my skin is SO SO VERY smoooth! Hopefully this one will last longer than my SKINFOOD one!

Pros: Traditional tsubaki oils, very moisturizing, smells great
Cons: Somewhat thick and greasy

SKINFOOD Vita Juice Hand Essence


I've always had a facination in the products that come from Korea's SKINFOOD brand. Their masks seem very tempting to try out but I have held back because of the high prices I've seen online. I'm still scouting out to find cheaper prices that I can actually accept for a brand I've never tried. So in the end, I decided to give in a try one of their hand creams which is called the SKINFOOD Vita Juice Hand Essence. It seems like quite a normal product to try and I happened to be looking for some hand cream for my dry winter worn-out hands. It was an average price so it didn't seem like it mattered.


The hand cream is vitamin E based but I find it very similar to another hand cream I've tried. It is very similar to the Say Yes to Carrots lined cream(organic brand). The cream also smells like an orange creamsicle. As for moisturizing, it comes out in a nice semi thick lotion that once smoothed out, it will quickly sink into the skin while leaving a smooth finish. It is not sticky nor greasy either. In conclusion, I think if you're looking for a hand cream and/or you love SKINFOOD then it is worth a try!

Pros: Fairly cheap, nice scent, moisturizing
Cons: ugly packaging?

SEXYGIRL Hand & Body Whipped Cream




Do you want to be sexy? I want to be sexy! That is why SEXYGIRL is the best! Ok, not really. But it does fulfill dreams and makes one feel great! SEXYGIRL is popular for their hair product line but they have a couple for the body. Today I am going to review their SEXYGIRL Hand & Body Whipped Cream. There are 5 different scents for this cream and all of them are of food things. I mean who doesn't want to be smothered in peaches? Or fruit punch?


This is the Strawberry Mille-Feuille. Which means Strawberry Thousand. What is Mille-Feuille? That means a thousand layer puff pastry with cream and strawberries. Mmm! I love eating the dessert so I would naturally have to have this one! It actually smells really berry with a hint of cream scent to it. The texture is very smooth and watery. It feels like whipped cream that hasn't been beaten to it's fullest peak. It's easy to apply in a nice container and it sinks in quickly. Overall it's a great body cream and I would purchase it again.

Pros: Great selection, light-weight texture, smells great
Cons: Small container

Angel Heart Hand Jelley




Angel Heart used to be a very famous perfume amongst young/teen girls in Japan back a few years. It is still popular but not as just. It's signature bottle and scent is one that can not be missed. Angel Heart is the original of the collection with it's red bottle and pear-apricot scent. The other perfumes they have are Lion Heart, Raspberry Pink.. etc.


I got the Angel Heart Hand Jelley because I liked the perfume and was in need of some nice hand cream. The jelley isn't really a cream but more of a perfumed liquid petro-jelly. It comes out and feels sticky but after awhile it absorbs right into the skin. The product highlights are that it has components of Pro vitamin B5 and water to help improve the water content in your hands and conditioning of hands. The smell isn't over-powering but it's faintly there. Overall, I like wearing it for the scent but not the product. They even spelled Jelly wrong! What engrish!
