Soap & Glory - Great Shakes

 Hey girls!!!

Today's product is the Great Shakes Hand Cream. Like all Soap & Glory products, this one also passes the scent test. It smells wonderful! Lately, as in the past week, my hands have been beyond chapped. It's been pretty cold in Chicago (surprise surprise!) and the fact that I have a 6 month old puppy whom I have to take out every few hours doesn't help much. Even if I go out all bundled up and with my gloves on, somehow my skin gets all cracked. In fact they were so cracked, you see the little pieces of white skin residue coming up, ew! Since I started using Great Shakes, my hands are much smoother and softer. The white dried skin residue (I don't know what else to call it lol) is 90% gone. I have been using this hand cream 2-3 times throughout the day and it definitely helps. I love the formula, while very creamy it's not greasy, at all. According to the container, this hand cream is infused with glycerin, (which I know dries my skin, weird because this cream doesn't) fennel and lotus flower. What I am dying to know: Why does the description of this hand cream in Soap & Glory's website say that this cream has shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow? What happened to the lotus flower and fennel, huh? It does smell a bit shea buttery though. I really love the fact that I got this cream in the full size out of the bag, I'm glad it wasn't the body wash that was full size! I would repurchase this again because it seems to work for my nasty cracked hands and the lovely smell is always a plus. You can find this product at Target for $9.99 for 4.2oz, the website does say 3.8oz which IS a typo, you can see that on the actual product it says 4.2oz. Whoever is maintaining their website is obviously slacking off...



A little update: I was contacted by Alvin over at Soap & Glory in regards to the confusion about the actual weight of this product. Great Shakes DOES weigh 4.2oz, so I guess we can just disregard what the website says :) Thank you Alvin, didn't mean to bash you or anything!

  3. @ ellinelle Is that the brand of the moisturizer? Or what brand is it? I'll give it a try, just when you think you have found the best of a product, something better comes along who knows maybe I will like that one too!
