Allegra Rhodes Body Lotion in Ocean Mist and Hand & Nail Cream in Sweet Apple and Grapefruit - review

0 Comments

A while back we received a sample Allegra Rhodes Hand & Nail cream in Bellabox. I loved it so much that I bought the full size, along with a few other Allegra Rhodes products, in one of the 30% off sales in the Bellabox shop.

I LOVE the print on the boxes for these products - I have them on display at home. The dispensers themselves are handy and look nice in the bathroom, even if the plastic itself feels a little cheap when handled.


Allegra Rhodes is an Australian company (I do like buying Australian products) that uses hand-picked, eau de parfum based fragrances so you can enjoy a touch of luxury every day. Products are certified parabens-free, sulphate-free and guilt-free - but rich in all natural Australian produced ingredients of the finest quality. For more info on the company, see its website here.

I bought the Sweet Apple & Grapefruit version of the handcream, which I have to say smells exactly like DKNY's apple fragrance. It's a beautiful, beautiful smell.

I decided on the Ocean Mist scent for the body cream (as well as the body wash and hand wash, which I'll review another time), since I generally prefer lighter, fresher smells and this one seemed like it would be right up my alley. Happily it is : )

Verdict

I'm COMPLETELY in love with the handcream. It's rich (more rich than eg MOR handcreams) without being heavy or greasy. 

While it's not as rich as my other favourite, the Almond & Milk Handcream from Burt's Bees, it's still wonderfully luxurious and it smells incredible. LOVE. (I reckon the Burt's Bees product is better in winter or when your hands need a bit of extra TLC, and the Allegra Rhodes product is better for daily use.) I would definitely buy this product again.

I like the body cream but it's probably a bit light for me: I do prefer heavier duty creams. 

Having said this, it smells wonderful and moisturises well, and it's Mex's favourite body cream of mine - so if like him you prefer lighter creams, this is a good option. I mightn't buy it again, but I'll certainly keep the box and dispenser once we've finished the product and refill it with a different product. Again, I love the smell - light and fresh. My mum was over the other day and commented on how lovely the scent was.

Beautiful products, and ones I'm very glad to have tried. Recommended.

If you're interested in trying these, use the promo code 48573 at the Allegra Rhodes checkout; and note there's free shipping for orders over $50.
