Name of product: Mani Pedi, Body Performance Smoothing Manicure/Pedicure Treatment – Estee Lauder

Price: £18 for 200 mls

The blurb: “Treat your hard-working hands and feet to this intensely hydrating creme, at-home “paraffin” treatment
• Pampers even the driest skin into kid-glove softness
• Rich in concentrated emollients, paraffin and a special moisture retainer
Like a “paraffin dip” spa treatment, it smoothes skin as it eases away dryness and discomfort”

First impressions: The pale blue Mani Pedi tube is luxurious with the familiar gold Estee Lauder livery – I adore their luxurious products. I am excited to review this cream as I love paraffin pedicure treatments. A small amount is enough to moisturize both hands. It smells absolutely divine and the texture is rich and thick (like my mother in law ha!)

Ease of Use: Only a small amount of product is necessary. Apply the lotion to clean hands and feet as required, and at bedtime for a deep moisturising treatment

Pros: The lotion is not greasy and it doesn’t make hands too slippery or shiny – this is essential as I drive and also, I hate to get oily marks on my clothes. It makes the hands feel moisturised and smooth. I like to keep it on display on my desk in work!

Cons: I always carry hand cream in my bag, and the tube is really rather large – far too big to tote about! This product does not create a similar effect to a paraffin spa treatment, but it is a good quality hand cream

Value for money:. The lotion will last for a very long time as the tube is enormous!

Dulwichmum verdict:
