Prismologie // Rose Quartz & Rose Comforting Hand & Cuticle Cream Review

Prismologie // Rose Quartz & Rose Comforting Hand & Cuticle Cream
RRP £30 for 75ml

This is a 40ml sample I chose in a Latest In Beauty box in either September 2019 or October....I can't quite remember now.

First Impressions

It's like cheap, generic hand cream that you could get from Home Bargains with a bland rose scent. It takes a while to absorb and leaves a lot of grease on your hands; leaving many greasy fingerprints on the keyboard.

Usage

This 40ml sample size lasted me about 3 weeks at work as I use handcream constantly. I felt myself using this more though as once it finally does absorb, my hands felt dry. As though they were covered in some sort of powdery substance.

Would I Buy It: No. I'm not sure what planet the owners are on either to charge £30 for this overpriced tat.

Overall Impressions

Like the oud foot cream I reviewed earlier, more emphasis seems to have gone on the packaging and curation of a "luxurious" looking product than creating an actual luxurious product that does something. On the website they pretentiously tell you to apply the cream then "cup your hands over your nose and let the calming effects of pink wash over you".

Mate it's a handcream. I want it to moisturise my skin and help prevent wrinkles; not start a new age movement. What are these people thinking?

Prismologie // Sapphire & Oud Relaxing Foot Cream Review

Prismologie // Sapphire & Oud Relaxing Foot Cream
RRP £28 for 75ml

This was a 40ml sample that I received in a Latest In Beauty box a few months ago.

First Impressions

I'm not a big fan of the scent, I prefer sweeter smells and this is earthy and deep. It's definitely more of a masculine scent. The product is also more of a lotion and not very thick. It also takes a while to absorb.

Usage

The 40ml lasted me around three months daily use. I only use it once a day after my shower and I've definitely seen by skin take a nosedive since I stopped using my previous product (Hey Honey Foot Cream). This lotion was not moisturising enough for the winter months and there is a lot of dry skin on my feet now. They just look tired and they don't smell great either.

Would I Buy This Product: No.

Overall Impressions

I've also tried the rose hand cream from this brand and that was exactly the same product but with a different scent. This brand is super expensive for what it is and I've never heard of it before. According to their website they've been in business since 2013 and wanted a brand that infused colour with aromatherapy. It appears that the colour of the packaging is more important to them than anything else and whereas I love some great packaging; the product has to also shine and this foot cream is nowhere near worth £28.

It's great that this product is cruelty free and made in the UK however I'd recommend the Dr Organic Manuka Honey Foot & Heel cream as an alternative. It works infinitely better as a foot cream, smells great and only costs £6.75.
