Hello again K-Stylists! Can you believe it's already my second post? Hope
you're excited as I am because I would like to try a new category on
this blog - hauls! I have never done one in my life before, so here
goes nothing:

Nature Republic Hand Cream |
Korean skincare brand Nature Republic was launched in 2009, a pretty successful company for one that is so new. According to their Wikipedia page, their selling point is a "brand that utilizes natural ingredients for their products". Too bad the ingredients listed on all their products are in Korean (which I can't read) so there is no way for me to personally confirm. The only thing in English are directions of use.
From top left to bottom right, I will comment on how each of them smell.
Rose Butter (Kai) - Floral and is not overwhelming, I like it.
Shea Butter (Xiumin) - Just like other shea butter products out there, nothing special.
Raspberry (D.O.) - Fruity and reminds me of summer, thumbs up!
Apple Mango (Baekhyun) - Interesting combination, has a pleasant smell.
Wild Cherry (Luhan) - You know that artificial cherry scent some candies and drinks have? Thank goodness this isn't like that, it smells natural.
Orange Butter (Tao) - Smells like oranges, but doesn't have that citrus-y zing. Probably because the butter muted it.
Avocado (Chanyeol) - Surprisingly, it smells so good! It actually smells fruity and not like an actual avocado.
Lavender (Suho) - One of my favorite scents is lavender and this did not fail me.
Grapefruit (Sehun) - Doesn't have that sour and tart smell real grapefruits do, which I think is great.
Peach (Chen) - Peachy (^з^)☆ (pun intended)
Vanilla (Lay) - A good balance of vanilla-ness. Some brands overdo the vanilla scent and makes me want to throw up.
Green Tea (Kris) - This scent is so unique! I don't think I have seen green tea scented lotion anywhere else. Truly one-of-a-kind and smells like green tea matcha, which makes me hungry.

There are 6 additional scents that are not represented by anyone, which are Coconut, Mango, Rosemary, Acacia, Lilac, and Brazil Nut. I didn't buy them but I did smell them and all of them with the slight exception of Rosemary smelled wonderful. Too bad they're not as publicized as the other 12 scents.
