Farleyco.ca September 2015 Gifts with Purchase Review

   In August I made a purchase from Farleyco.ca and these were the two gifts I received for free with my purchase. No minimum. If you order from Farleyco.ca you will received these as well, no minimum purchase needed until October 31st 2015.

    X3 Coconut Burst Lip Balm claims: X3 Coconut Burst 100% Organic Virgin Coconut Oil lip balm is formulated to help moisturize, heal and protect dry, chapped lips. Nourished with Pure Argan Oil and Cocoa Butter, Coconut Burst softens and conditions to help protect even the driest lips.
 
    This lip balm retails for $2.99CDN. I didn't take a picture of the back of the package to show you the ingredients but this lip balm had a high concentration of coconut oil. Not only does coconut oil break me out but it feels so greasy on my lips so I knew I wasn't going to be too pleased with this lip balm. It smells incredible - exactly like pina coladas - but it was greasier then Maybelline's Baby Lips lip balm. My lips felt slathered in oil that was just slipping around on the surface and not penetrating to moisturize. Needless to say I didn't like this lip balm and I'm glad I got it for free. I definitely wouldn't repurchase it.

   Inecto Naturals Coconut Hand & Nail Cream claims: This intensive little hand and nail cream is a must-have. It conditions your nails, softens your cuticles and protects your hands leaving your skin looking bright and radiant all day. A little saviour for dry hands, this lightweight non-greasy cream will provide much needed relief. Infused with Pure Organic Coconut Oil your hands will be beautifully moisturised and silky smooth.

     This hand cream retails for $3.99CDN. This hand cream is really lovely. It's got a runnier texture then most of the hand creams that I've tried but it absorbs into my hands and cuticles so easily! My skin feels so hydrated after I use this cream. There's no fragrance in this cream but it still manages to smell so lovely. It doesn't smell at all like coconuts but smells more like vanilla cupcakes.
   
   There's coconut oil in it but there's something about the formula that manages to keep it from being greasy and slippery. I am in love with this hand cream and I find myself reaching for it all the time.
 
    My one criticism of this hand cream is the screw lid because after you've got this hand cream on your hands, it's difficult to close. It's not deeply moisturizing (if you have really dry hands you'll need something thicker) but my hands are in a good state right now so I don't mind. Aside from that I adore this hand cream.

   Out of these two I could only recommend the Inecto Naturals Coconut hand and nail cream because of how outstanding it is. I'm a definite fan!

Cake Beauty Heavy Cream Intensive Hand Repair Balm Review

Cake was so right to call this an intensive hand repair balm. It's rather thick for a hand cream. This is also the perfect product to take me through the cold Canadian winters. This is my first purchase from Cake beauty and I'm entirely pleased.

Claims from the Cake Beauty website: This supremely hydrating formula renews and protects hands for immediate and long lasting results. Made with 20% shea butter, this warm french vanilla scent melts into skin. 100ml

I purchased this hand cream at Costco; it came in a pair of hand creams that cost $22. This lured me in immediately with the whole 20% shea butter claim. I've got constantly dry hands so that claim sounded like absolute heaven. True to their word, Cake has jammed a lot of shea butter into this hand balm. The cream is as thick as you would expect it to be.

I was very afraid of the French vanilla scent. Cake's sister line Be Delectable has a vanilla hand cream out and I've tried it and it smelt like rotten vanilla scented play-doh. But this hand cream smells amazing. It's such a rich, sweet smell. Almost like the Nyx Butter Glosses but with a hint of buttery richness. I love how nice it smells and the fact that it's not cloying.

This hand cream is very very hydrating but doesn't cross the line over into greasiness (unless you apply too much). My hands feels moisturized but not slippery.

Heavy Cream has shaped up into being a lovely purchase and I'm very glad I bought it.

Likes:

1. It is so moisturizing!
2. It smells wonderful
3. No nonsencial chemicals in the ingredients list

Dislikes:

I haven't got any to list and if I were to look for any I'd be nitpicking.
