I was on vacation in Sun Valley, Idaho a couple of weeks ago and discovered a wonderful hand cream.  I know this doesn’t sound like a big deal, but hang on.  Initially, I was going to refer to Lollia Creme as one of “DivaJulia’s Favorite Things”–then I found out that Oprah had already done just that back when she highlighted products that she loved then gave everyone in her audience those very products.  (“YOU get a full-sized tube of Lollia Creme! And, YOU get a full-sized tube of Lollia Creme!“)  So, I’m a little late to the party.  I’m assuming I’m not the only one.

Lollia – Shea Butter Hand Creme, Breathe 4.25 oz – $25

Sun Valley is very dry, in terms of the constant dampness I’m used to in Seattle.  (Especially when I’m out at the pool “sizzling my skinny-fat” all bloody day.)  I thought what I had been using was good enough to aid my dry skin, until I found Lollia Creme in a little French shop in town.

Fragrance Notes:

A floral heart of ruffled Peony and White Lily with sheer hints of fresh Grapefruit and Orange. A fresh air impression infused with leafy green notes surrounded by a hint of cool, mossy forest paths.

The Lollia signature fragrance. Light as a breeze fluttering over soft organza. Lush floral infusions of Peony & White Lily are at play with Lavender and Violet, creating a fresh fragrance that will become your everyday favorite. A luxurious botanical handcreme with rich Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oils to nourish hands. Each fine detail is thoughtfully presented to make this an aesthetic treasure outside and inside.

I could almost hear my skin saying, “ahhhhhh” upon application.  Lollia is very rich and luxurious, without being greasy.  A little goes a long way, as they say.  I did use it on my arms and legs as well as my hands and feet.  The scent is perfect; light, fresh and NOT powdery or cloying.  It’s a lovely match with the Jo Malone White Jasmine and Mint fragrance that I wear daily; it blends and doesn’t compete.  I noticed, too, that Lollia has their own fragrance to layer with the creme, as well as candles!  Hmmmm…I did say I was fickle when it came to “signature” scents, didn’t I?
