    Splurge vs Steal: Hand Cream

    I have a phobia of 'hitting pan' with skincare, especially if it's expensive! So I'm always on the lookout for cheaper alternatives to use in between, and prolong the use of the high end products.

    Steal ~ Skinfood Vita Juice Hand Essence
    Bought in Korea

    It cost less than $5 AUD from memory.. What a steal!
    Smells like fruits
    Light but effective hydration
    I apply this before sleeping & my hands are so grateful in the mornings


    Splurge ~ Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream
    Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment

    My HG hand cream!! This deserves a halo too~
    It's incredibly hydrating but non greasy & leaves skin feeling so soft & youthful
    Who knows, this hand cream might make your boyfriends hold your hand more.. Haha~
    You can get it for $30 AUD on Strawberrynet - so it's not the most expensive out there

    LOL ~ cute! "Who knows, this hand cream might make your boyfriends hold your hand more" ^.^

    I've always been intrigued by the Elizabeth Arden hand cream.. does it have a certain distinctive smell or none at all?

    That's great that you've talked about the 8hr cream I always wanted to buy it, I was wondering where else do you use it for? I heard it's an all purpose cream is that true? would it be too heavy for the face?

    This is a hand-cream version of the 8 hour cream. I haven't tried the all-purpose 8 hour cream yet.. it seems a bit too sticky.
