What They Say: "Last year, Mark, our top bod at Lush (he has no official title but we all know who's boss) asked the Lush forum for a list of beautiful words. Smitten was one of them. The forum members asked Mark for a lighter, daytime hand cream scented with the same deliciously mouth-watering fragrance as Snowcake soap. Fair's fair. Now we have a beautiful new hand cream with a beautiful name made with natural oils and butters for a longer term benefit for your mits. (Note to non-mother tongue English speakers: mittens are like gloves but with one big ‘finger' instead of the usual four so “Smitten” is a hand protector pun as well as a lovely name. Just so you know…)"

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Handcream, schmandcream... It's really hard to impress me with handcream, mostly because I haven't seen too many that stand out from the rest. That could just be me, I guess. And although I am a new devotee of Lush, I was still skeptic. Shame on me - because this deliciously-almond-scented cream feels...like a silk slip on my hands. That sounds pretty grandiose, I know. But it's hard to verbalize the way the oils in this product moisturize your hands and make them feel noticeably different. When you first apply it, you'll think it's going to be a little too slick for you to continue about your activities with it on, but give it about 15 seconds to penetrate the skin, and aaaahhhhh...that's the only way to describe the feeling. It goes from slick-feeling to baby soft. I think you'll love it!
