I've been meaning to write about my hand cream crush for months.
I only forgot to post about it because I used it all up (I'm talking – cut a hole in the tube to squeeze out every last bit – used up) and have been lost without it ever since. Like an old boyfriend, I had to forget about it, as I have since been, oh so heartbroken. Nevertheless, I am in major heart with the smell and feel of everything this line makes. And will do whatever it takes to get my lover back. Even if it means going for one of these adorable V-Day offerings.
Inspired by the natural beauty of the wine country of northern California, OLIVINA NAPA VALLEY is literally and figuratively a green company. The foundation ingredients—hand-pressed, anti-oxidant olive and grape seed oils—come from a landscape dotted with olive trees and world-renowned grapevines, a reference to both its Mediterranean climate and the heritage of many who settled the valley.
And The Honeysuckle Rose scent. Forget not being a rose-scenty-person, this one is not like anything you've ever smelled. And the texture of the hand cream, woe is me, it's like crack for dry hands. They eat it up, want more, can't get enough, and freak out when they don't get another hit of it. I'm telling you. I'm in withdrawal without it.
The Valentine's giftie is perfection for a girlfriend, co-worker, or mama. Or me.
