100% Pure Honey Cream Wash Gingerade

The natural body wash is formulated as a nourishing cream instead of being a gel. The product sometimes settles, so they recommend before application to give the bottle a good shake. The plant based formula is formulated without sulfates, detergents, artificial fragrances, dyes, and chemical preservatives. The no lather cream had a citrus-y scent with a hint of ginger. Personally, I like my showergel to provide copious amount of lather or at least provide some hydration to my skin.

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Intensive Hand Cream

My hands always get dry no matter if it is warm, hot, freezing or “perfect” outside. I read  many good reviews of this product on Sephora and decided to give this a try. The 100% pure argan oil and shea butter cream promised to be hydrating and non-greasy.  The rich cream had a whipped consistency which went on smooth and didn’t feel greasy or heavy on my hands. It did have a delicate apricot and vanilla scent, that made this a treat to rub on. The only downside to this paraben, sulfate and phthalate free cream is that I didn’t feel the cream lasted long enough to justice the $22  price tag.

Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Emollient Cream

I LOVE THIS CREAM! This cream is packed with 36 botanical extracts and vitamin A. This cream combined ancient botanical formulas with advance technology to create a cream that combines the tried and true with cutting edge technology. The emollient cream left my skin feeling rich, nourished, smooth and looking absolutely radiant. I love this cream but I am really sad that this cream is so expensive and my makeup addiction is leaving me so poor.  :(

ELF Cucumber Melon Moisturizing Body Cream

I found this while going through my inventory and I decided since I no longer see on ELF’s webpage it is high time I used it up. The hand cream is packed with shea butter, aloe vera gel, hemp seed oil and vitamin b5. The creamy body cream does have a fresh crisp cucumber scent that reminds me being at the spa. It leaves my body smooth and soft but I noticed it doesn’t last through washing my hands. Overall, it was a decent  cream for the price.

Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam

The purifying cleansing foam has a creamy lather that purifies the complexion to bring out the radiance of your skin. The cleanser is formulated with multi-action brightening system that targets spots and improve clarity and luminosity in skin. I used a bit of this with my Clarisonic brush and it left my skin a bit tight at first. After following up with moisturizer my skin felt and look radiant. My skin look more bright and luminous but my dark spots didn’t completely vanish..sadly.

       

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream

I love the Fresh brand and I needed a new moisturizer, so I decided to give this a try.  The moisturizer is formulated with Fresh’s “Super 7 Complex”,  that promises to prevent signs of aging, boost radiance, improve elasticity and improve moisture in skin. I wasn’t pleased with the scent, it smells like pickles or maybe I got a bad batch. The face cream was a bit greasy but it does absorbs very easily.  My face did feel radiant and moisturized but I still couldn’t get over the scent. I am not quite in love with this face cream, so I don’t I will get this again.

Sephora Guava Passion Body Butter

While preparing for the holiday season, I cleaned out some of my stashes to see which products I have and which I need to stock up on. I came across this little treasure but then realize that Sephora stopped making this specific body care line and I should probably use this right away. I notice the scent and the texture was consistent with the other Sephora body products so I assumed it was still good. Plus, it expires 2 years after opening so I was more than okay. The creamy body  butter goes on smoothly and left my skin feeling soft. While the nourishing shea butter body cream is thick, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on my skin. The fruity scent is not overpowering and leaves my skin delicately scented.The body butter is scented with guava, mango, pineapple, lily of the valley, monoi de tahiti, vanilla and musk. I am curious to try Sephora’s new body products.

Yves Rocher Riche Creme Comforting Anti-Wrinkle Cream - Day

The rich cream is enriched with 30 Precious Oils that promises to nourish, soften and smoother skin. The creme is made for mature skin to restore it once radiant appearance. Even though, I wouldn’t necessarily call my skin mature, my skin lacked radiance and was constantly dry.  The cream had a luxurious whipped texture that went on smoothly and didn’t feel greasy. My skin face felt soft, smooth and radiant after using the lotion. I also love how it kept my skin hydrated all day.

The Body Shop Pomegranate Night Creme

As most people who know me or read my blog, I love pomegranates. I am willing to try any product that is made with pomegranate even if it is a crappy product [that isn’t saying much about me :/]  Thankfully, this night cream was not a huge disappointment but a new favorite from the body shop.  The luxurious night creme melt into my skin and left my skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.  The cream was really rich and a little of the cream was enough to show results on my face. But honestly, the sweet cream was such a treat to use that I used way more than needed. I would definitely get this cream again as I applied it in the night and woke up and my face was still hydrated and smooth.
