Speed Review: Molton Brown Flora Luminare Hand Cream

Molton Brown are a long-time favourite brand of mine for pampering hand creams and I always think they make great gift ideas too. Today's review is of the Flora Luminare Hand Cream.

On first impressions, the tube hand cream is aesthetically pleasing. I love that it features my favourite colour, yellow, to impart an instant sense of happiness! Plus, it's practical as it means it's easy to find in a crowded handbag. The 40ml size is travel friendly and the twist off lid means that it's secure from leakages. The fragrance is described as "London via Tahiti", tying in with the sunshine yellow packaging. The description perfectly captures the scent, which is reminiscent of warmer days and holidays. If you like Elemis' Exotic range, then you'll also enjoy this as it features the same notes of tropical frangipani together with some of my favourites such as orange blossom, ylang-ylang and vanilla. The texture is a true cream and feels silky to apply. It absorbs effortlessly and, key for me, doesn't leave a greasy residue so I can apply it then carry on with tasks. Hands are left feeling soft and conditioned, with a beautiful, uplifting scent. I really do like everything about Molton Brown's Flora Luminare Hand Cream and am keen to try more from the same scent range. The Hand Cream costs £12 for 40ml so I feel it's an accessible luxury.
