Review: eos Hand Lotion - First Impressions

Recently, while I was out finishing up my holiday shopping at my local Target. I came across eos hand lotion in Berry Blossom. Needless to say I snatched it up. Working in a cosmetic department while I'm also going to school, I've definitely noticed that this hand lotion has become a pretty hot item lately. Well all the demand and the fact that it's currently out of stock on eos site, made me decide to give this product a try.

eos describes the lotion as fast absorbing and non greasy lotion that will provide 24 hour moisture. My first impression of this product agrees that the lotion does absorb quickly. However, I do notice a slight greasy feeling after application (not so much that it's unbearable) and the complete lack of berry blossom scent. All I smell is a basic moisturizing lotion, to me my hands actually have a smell that reminds me of St. Ives Apricot or Oatmeal scrub. 

Now, this could just be me and I don't find the smell to be off putting. It just doesn't smell like berries or blossoms like the packaging names it. Oats (Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernal extract is one of the ingredients listed, so at least the Oatmeal scent makes sense.  

I bought this lotion for only a couple of dollars and for the price you get 1.5 fluid ounces of product in a travel friendly form. As it is winter, which already dries my hands out. On top of that, I also work quite a lot with my hands. I feel that this purchase was in no way a waste of money, but I'm still on the fence as to if I'd repurchase this same product at least when it comes to the scent. 

Have you purchased this product? What scent, and if you tried them all then let me know your favorite scent. Does eos hand lotion live up to the hype?

Next time, I'll be looking at Too Faced's LA BELLE CAROUSEL.
