Initially, I thought this was a hand lotion for men because of the name and the manly fist. I was under the impression that this was a hand lotion for labourers. I don't even remember how I was first introduced to it and when or why I first used it. But from the moment I rubbed it in, I was sold. Don't be deterred by the external factors like the look and design of tube. Even if it was originally marketed for men whose hands are calloused and dry from strenous activity, does not mean we can't use it as well. Since more and more women are now joining that male dominated industry and taking up labour jobs, we might as well take this for ourselves too! Furthermore, if you think about it, labourers and tradies generally have very hard and dry hands which would need something strong to actually work - not just any lotion off the shelf. So, then their hand-softening products would be more intensive and perhaps stay longer on skin. So the average hand would reap the benefits as well if not more or faster. There's no strong or pungent smell and applying it feels like I am applying primer onto my hands. It's absorbed, but it feels like you have a soft filter on your hands that has given you that plump feeling - as in that "healthy" plumpness, not plump whereby you get fatter hands. Which primer did it feel like on? I think it felt similar to any of those blurring primers like Maybelline Skin, Benefit's The Porefessional variants.

As a part of a product review panel, I had to purchase and trial this but had tech issues so I couldn't register my participation and lost interest in the study. But I'm glad it lead me to discover this item which I probably would never had tried if it weren't for the study. It has a very modest bottle in a soft colour that doesn't stand out. But the product itself is divine. Not only does it moisturise you and makes your skin or supple and soft, it also makes you smell heavenly. Sounds cheesy, but it's the best way I can describe it. Using this, you can even skip the perfume. The only downside is that the fragrance dissipates quite quickly. It'd be flawless if they made the scent more long lasting.

This was added to my mental wish list the moment I saw it. I have this weird obsession with novelty desserts and candy shaped things, especially make up. Think Too Faced and I ♡ Makeup Revolution chocolate bars and donut palettes, Glamlite as a whole, Etude House x Hersheys mini chocolate palettes, etc... One of my first products when I started on my chocolate bar and cocoa themed collection. I bought two of these, actually, when Amazon had them on sale. The shade 51 and 52. Like others have mentioned already, yes they so have a chocolate scent. Personally, I find the smell a bit overbearing. It's nice as a light scent you catch a whiff of occasionally, but for daily use I'd probably get sick of it. I personally don't like that the case is just cardboard. Don't let them get them wet! It's got a magnetic clasp, but that can be opened so easily. Inside, the product has a clear plastic film adhered on top which I have kept to protect from water and dust. The colour payoff is quite sheer. It's buildable. But if you lack patience, are short for time, prefer more colour payoff instantly rather than working for it, you'd probably won't be a fan of this. Apparently, it's supposed to be very natural.

Aside from the +$20 RRP (I got this from Coles for $10) there's not much to pick at. From my experience, the mascara is suitable for people with short lashes. The consistency is quite thin so doesn't clump much. That being said, it is a lengthening mascara - not a volumising one. The main feature, the shorter side with the longer teeth(?) does require patience and some time getting used to. But if you're in no hurry and don't mind swapping hands and/or alternating between different angles, this little lady could be a new favourite.
