MOR Handcream Review

After hearing gorgeous things about MOR (esp. their handcreams), I really had to try one for myself. I purchased the Marshmellow one from TM (brand new) for a really reasonable price of $12.

I absolutely adore the packaging. Baby pink and gold - I just feel like such a fancy girly-girl whenever I whip this out. (In fact, I like to display it on my desk at work!).

The fragrance is lovely, however, I don't really find it very marshmellow-like. It's very, very strong, and more like an old-fashioned rose and powder scent. I adore it, in any case.

It's quite a thick cream, and the colour of it matches the baby pink tube. I find it's non-greasy and absorbs really well, leaving my hands hydrated and soft.

I've always liked the idea of handcreams, but have never consistently used one due to lack of interest (in the cream). This one, on the other hand, has got me using it all the time. I love the femininity of it.

This product is one of things where the inner hoarder in me and the clutter hating ruthless B in me had an all out war. The packaging is exquisite. I have never wanted to keep a box more than this. It was absolutely stunning and for that reason alone made an amazing gift for me. I ended up chucking it though because I am truly a heartless cow when it comes to things that clutter these days (2 kids, tiny 2 bedroom house...watch out anything that gets in my way!). And that was just the box! The tube is equally gorge and now that I'm close to running out I admit I will be really sad to throw this one out, where usually panning a product gives me such glee.

Review done.

Oh wait that's right there's actually a product inside.

The contents are a good handcream. Not brilliant, perhaps heading towards the great side of good. They did the job hydration wise but my hands are a serious case in neglect and they need more than most handcreams are offering.

My major turn off is two-fold. One, it's a slow absorb. Not as slow as some mind you, but I am a woman of action and I don't have time to stand around waiting for cream to sink in.

Two, the scent. It's super overpowering. I got the scent "Belladona" and while it's not terrible it's much stronger than I would like and it gives me a headache. It has about 5 squillion things it's "enriched with" or "containing" too, it's simply too much. I'm sure this could easily be rectifies by simply picking a scent more to my taste if I repurchase though.

I got the Marshmallow hand cream in a goodie bag and it's my favourite hand cream ever! Firstly the packaging is just gorgeous, like all the MOR products. The pale pink tube, gold lid and logo give it a real vintage glam feel. I have mine displayed on my dressing table with my perfume bottles. The next thing I noticed was the scent. Marshmallow isn't as sugary as you would expect from the name, it's actually quite smoky and sophisticated and very heavy. Using a bit on your hands is enough for people to smell it and compliment you on your perfume! The thing that makes me want to buy this again once it's run out is the consistency. It's nice and thick but not at all greasy and makes your hands feel really soft and lovely for hours. My hands feel better after using MOR than any other hand cream I've tried. I would definitely recommend this as a lovely, luxury product for a good price.

I was given the Marshmallow MOR hand cream last year for Christmas and I definitely love it. The packaging is really cute and I love the small tube as it's easily portable. The scent is incredible! It lasts a long time and smells more like candy to me, but not too overwhelmingly sweet. I also love the feel of it. It absorbs easily and leaves hands feeling moisturised and silk smooth. It just feels super luxurious. A little goes a long way, and I love that it doesn't feel greasy or heavy, and after just a couple of minutes, you're able to touch stuff without leaving streak marks all over it. The only downside is that it's a little pricey, which is why I haven't repurchased it. Trying to find an equally comparable, yet cheaper product, but I haven't come across any yet. May have to just splurge and get one as a treat! :) I'd love to try out their other scents though - from a quick whiff at Smith and Caughey's, the Lychee one smells amazing!

I was lucky enough to stumble across the MOR marshmallow hand cream, and I have never looked back since. I often need hand cream after I have been working as my hands get dry, not only did this rehydrate my hands but the marshmallow scent is divine! - I found it perfect for my hands but I do not suffer from super dry skin. Such a fun twist on an everyday product, and a perfect product for the handbag!

love, love, love this hand cream :). The size makes it very portable, it absorbs quickly and instantly leaves your hands feeling softer. the snow gardenia hand cream has a floral pollen-y scent that's lasts ages. I was given this as a gift which is good because I don't think 50mls of handcream is worth $16.99 buts its nice for a touch of luxury.

I am hand cream obsessed, it is a must in my handbag at all times. The thing about the MOR hand creams are that they look luxurious, they have a gold cap! They also come in a array of scents - the two I have on my desk now are Snow Gardenia and Marshmallow - Snow Gardenia has to be my fave (smells like sweet jasmine tea). It is probably personal preference but I will recommend steering clear of Lychee, it is seriously sweet and in your face, someone commented that it smelt like they had just walked past the Lush store...

One thing I find with these hand creams are that they are not overly moisturising. The texture is quite thick and rich not greasy though but I don't find my hands are any softer after use. I apply it all day long but I still find myself reaching for my OPI avojuice (which make my hands feel so soft). Maybe I've become immune to it since I use it so often!

Anyways, nice to have when you want a bit of luxury and they do smell very nice. They also make very smart gifts, MOR packages them beautifully with their other products as well otherwise you can get a box set of hand creams.

I was sure I'd tried this at a Sephora when I was overseas - I remember the sample I tried as smelling AMAZING and feeling better than any other hand lotion I'd ever tried. I've been kicking myself for not buying it or taking a photo of it so I could remember the brand!

When I saw the MOR Marshmallow on sale at an online shop I was sure that it was what I'd sampled - I bought it.

It's not what I remember the smell being like (however, I might have just romanticized this lotion so much over the months that I don't actually remember what the scent was *lol*) BUT I do really like the scent of the lotion I bought. It's more of a rose scent to me, but not a cloying rose scent. It is VERY strongly scented, so be warned of that - honestly a little goes a very long way. The good news is that it also only takes a little to make your hands feel very nice :)

The texture is really great - it isn't tacky or chalky like a lot of hand lotion- your hands feel great for hours and hours after you use it and the container is super pretty too!

I got a sample of five different fragrances in this range from my Her Fashion Box subscription and a couple of the frangrances are just amazing! I really like this formula, it is quite creamy but not greasy- it makes my hands feel like satin and it is a product that absorbs well.

The fragrances I have tried and what I think about is below:

Basil and Grape- steer clear, this one made me feel quite ill. It is relatively strong. I had the sachet open on my bedside table and had to move it when I was in my bed because I just couldn't handle the smell

Honey Nectar- this one is okay, good if you like a honey scent (obviously :P). Its not too strong, not my favourite though

Blackcurrent and Iris- Really like this one! Its more fruity than floral. Not an overbearing frangrance, quite fresh

Sugar Rose Tiger Lily- also really nice

Above everything though, I just really love the formula of these products and how they make my hands feel

so this is rather expensive as you buy from boutique stores but wow it smells gorgeous!! and feels so soft. although i feel it takes a little while to dry but soo yummy <3
