Ladies, as you know, I Tocca pretty product packaging very seriously. Remember the cute-as-all-heck minis in the Tocca Eau de Parfum Viaggio Set ($45)? Well, Tocca’s back, this time with an adorable trio of matching hand creams in the very same scents (for more on the scents, click here).
The 2-fl. oz. tubes are a perfect travel size and fit snugly in my tiniest purse. The one called Cleopatra is scented with notes of grapefurit and cucumber, Stella with blood orange, and Florence with English Rose. All of them contain moisturizing compounds and extracts like coconut oil, shea butter and aloe.
The heavenly scented creams do leave a light but slightly slippery film on my hands, but I can live with it as long as I’m not trying to type or open doors…
My bone dry paws love these, but I probably wouldn’t rely on them alone for hand hydration if I lived someplace with long, cold winters.
PRICE: $18
AVAILABILITY: Primarily online.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
this is the perfect MIL gift! 🙂 thanks, karen!
Hi Nina,
Oh, that’s a great idea! It would probably be a cute hostess gift too. 🙂
yep it does! 🙂 ill probly grab one for the SIL too bec shes hosting thanksgiving AND christmas this year!
on another note — i finally found the wnw palettes @ walgreens. i went out to buy some advil and a coke zero (migraine-y)) and there they were! 🙂
Awesome! Shoot, I’ll give gifts to anyone serving me turkey and carbs, LOL!
Bummer about the migrane (hate those!), but WOOOOOT for your new palettes. Which one did you pick up?
Place with long, cold winters? Yeah, that’s where I am right now.
Question: Are the scents very strong? Would you characterize them as “perfume-y”?
Hi Trisha,
Nope. They’re very light, clean florals.
Long, cold winters describes my home town! We just had about 10-15 cm of snow overnight and there’s a really good windchill going on as well. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
The English Rose one sounds up my alley.
Are you serious, Tracy? I so could not hang!! I’m a certified California weather wimp. 🙂
Hahaha-I’ve been to LA in the winter and I think it’s so funny when I see people wearing mittens and down jackets! I keep thinking-dudes, you don’t know what real cold is like!
Okay, I think the SAME THING when we go to Hawaii in the winter months. It’ll be 70 degrees and the local kids will be wearing hats and puffy jackets!
goodness, these sound absolutely HEAVENLY!
They’re delicious! Do you wear any of these Tocca scents?
Lovely packaging! i would totally buy those, and I actually live in a place with long, cold winters=)
Hi Antonia,
The packaging is one of the best things about Tocca. The scents are lovely, too!
These sound wonderful! Love the packaging, too.
I hope you give ’em a sniff!
I love Tocca! Have the mini perfume set on my Santa list 🙂 I love Tocca Bianca-have a full size of that one. The bottles and packaging are so luxe!
Hi Cindy,
Bianca is one of my faves, too. Have you sniffed the new scent, Colette?
This is a nice idea for a holiday gift.
Hi Knownever,
I think so too.
Awww cuuuute! I bet they smell nice too 🙂
Hi Olga,
All three have a lovely, light scent. Are you a Tocca fan?
Super cute! The packaging is simple, yet lovely. Um, except for the mermaid. She’s kind of creeping me out. 🙂 I think these would be perfect for summer since, as you say, the long and cold winters need some hard core moisturizers. I think I’m lotioning as much as you’re washing your hands, lately!
Haha re: the mermaid. She’s a little creepy.
What lotions have you been using lately? I need one to keep on my desk because my hands are dry, dry, dry!
I’m right at the end of a BBW Aromatherapy lotion in Orange Ginger (it was a competitive sample and I liked the scent). It’s going to be time for a new one soon. We actually make a Natural hand & cuticle cream with pomegranate so I’m sure that will find a home on my desk next (good and free are a nice combo!). 🙂
