Ooof. I do love Crabtree & Evelyn. And, rarely traveling these days, my chances of raiding them from a hotel have gone waaaay down.
I found out the last hotel I stayed at that had these, the Don Vincente de Ybor, is no longer a hotel, which makes me profoundly sad; this was such an amazing location in Ybor City, that I stumbled across while scrambling to book space at a conference.
That night in Ybor City was wonderful! The subsequent nights at the conference hotel? Too meh to smear Meh by calling them that.
I’m glad the building is still standing and used. But I really wish I’d visited and luxuriated in their ridiculously comfy bedding and bath wares for much longer.
@brainmist Your chances of raiding it from a hotel room have also significantly decreased due to Crabtree & Evelyn being out of business. That’s why the stuff has shown up here.
@brainmist@Kyeh
I haven’t used these scents but their other ones that I have used are always light and never over powering. I’ll probably give these a try.
I didn’t realize that they were out of business. The only place I’ve gotten them from was HSN many years ago.
Hope you like them if you decide to give it a try.
@adavidw@brainmist I can’t find that they went under quickly. Website is up. There’s a bad article talking about them as a bed bath beyond alternative from allegedly three weeks ago.
They seem alive?
edit: Looks like they went under in 2019 and got their name bought out. Betting this isn’t four year-old stock, but you never know with meh.
Crabtree & Evelyn has been 70% owned by Hong Kong company Nan Hai Corporation since 2016. As part of its rebrand and business pivot in 2019, the brand became DTC e-commerce-only when it closed its 150 traditional retail stores across eight countries, shifted its manufacturing and distribution to third-party providers, and sold an Australian warehouse.
@Kyeh I’m excited to hear how you like them!
Ironically, just last night I got a similar 5pc trial/travel pack (in a BOC) of Burt’s Bees lotions, lip and cuticle balm! I’ve only tried their colored lip products (not really a lipstick) and I LOVE those! I’m still undecided about what I’ll do with these as I kinda have plenty and I don’t see myself changing what I’m using. I might just give them to my sister and/or niece. (dry skin runs in the family ) Maybe we’ll split them up between us and spread the love!
@Lynnerizer Oh, nice! I do like Burt’s Bees stuff.
Unfortunately, these C&E ones are a disappointment - I don’t like them. I really shouldn’t “blind buy” scented things.
Did you get them?
I was introduced to C&E bar soaps by a grad school housemate in 1979. Sad that the original company is defunct. I’m sure that their products are no longer as high-end as they once were. For lotions and moisturizers, lately I’ve been happy with several by Neutrogena…

@mediocrebot
… Two right hands
@werehatrack Perfect for the person with two left feet.
@werehatrack @yakkoTDI
There’s nothing right about those hands!
Will this work on ostriches hands?
@OnionSoup
Why, are you an ostrich?
@OnionSoup Ostriches have hands?
Hand cream? Made with real hands?
@awk
You’re telling me a shrimp handed this cream?
What kind of cult collects hand cream?
/showme hand cream but it’s made of hands
@mediocrebot
Normally this would look like a very sentimental art piece about global unity, but the way the bot does it seems morbidly threatening.
@DVDBZN @mediocrebot
That’s creepy looking!
@DVDBZN @Lynnerizer @mediocrebot
It IS, yuck.
specs says 6 tubes, text narrative says 2. might want to update.
(can I get a freebie for noticing this?
)
@creativecstasy An option of two of each.
Damn, I was actually looking for body lotion. Maybe next time.
@chiefbugbung
I’ve always had dry skin and I LOVE kiehls body lotion! They’ve got good sales a few times a year ($30 off) and usually 15% every day. It’s not inexpensive but it’s totally worth it in my opinion.
This link is for my favorite…

@brainmist Have you tried these particular scents? I don’t like hand creams that are too strong-smelling.

Do these hand creams smell anything like toe jam?

Okay. I’m in.

I bought the citron ones- they smell nice and the lotion is really thick.
