BBW Bourbon Strawberry and Vanilla Shea and Fruit Body Souffle

A shea butter enriched body cream that is scented of bourbon vanilla, garden strawberry and apricot nectar.  The body souffle is creamy and left my skin delicately scented.  The scent is a bit heavy but it wears down after a couple of minutes. I wouldn’t call it a favorite but I might get it again if it is on sale.

BBW Aromatherapy Sensual Black Currant Vanilla Body Lotion

The creamy black currant and vanilla absolute scented body lotion soothes and  moisturizes skin. The nourishing lotion goes on easily and is absorbed quickly without a greasy feeling. The black currant and vanilla soothes the senses and leaves a slight fragrance trail on the skin. I mostly use this lotion for the scent and not for the moisturizing as it’s mediocre at keeping skin moisturized but leaves skin scented.

Annagaspi Brilliant Body Design Patch

The body patch has two pieces per a pack. The cooling body patched is formulated with coffee bean, mint leaves, chili, seaweed extract, and orange peel.  The body batch is designed to provide conditioning care to abdomen, thighs, upper arms and other areas that are affected of dimpled, sagging, cellulite, and uneven skin. Applying to the hydrogel to the targeted area for 8 hours promises results after one use. Within 30 minutes to  1 hour, the body heat activates the primary ingredients.The patch smelled like Icy Hot and had the same affect. The area was a bit sensitive to hot and cold water. I didn't notice any difference in my skin --  will not purchase this again.

Dove Go Fresh Revitalize Body Wash Nutrium Moisture

The mandarin and tiare flower scented body washed promises to fresh, hydrate and revitalize skin. Dove is known for their beauty products adding in moisture while being delicate to the skin. The body wash was mildly fragrant and it didn’t revitalized me at all. The scent almost evaporated instantly after foam appeared. If the body wash just meant to provide smoother and softer skin, this product did it but it failed in the revitalizing aspect.

Ahava DeadSea Water Mineral Body Exfoliator

The 2-in-1 everyday use body exfoliator is enriched with red algae and Dead Sea minerals to cleanse and exfoliate skin. The formula promises to moisturize and stimulate skin renewal to leave skin hydrated, smooth, soft and radiant. My skin felt smooth and soft but I followed up with lotion to make my skin feel hydrated. The exfoliator utilizes microbeads which has recently come under fire for it’s environmental impact. While the scrub is nice, I think I would stick to my sugar scrubs instead.

Mirai Purifying Body Serum

The serum is enriched botanical cocktail of astaxanthin, shea butter, Japanese Green Tea, Jojoba Oil and Hyaluronic Acid. It is packed with all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff like parabens, bad synthetics, preservatives and dyes.  It promises to moisturize, prevent the visible signs of aging from skin damaging UV rays, inclement weather, and estrogen depleting hormonal changes caused by aging. The airless bottle helps protect against product degradation and keeps the formula fresh, plus it looks kind of cool on my nightstand. While the company promised a light herbal fragrance, the scent reminded me a bit of turmeric. I was a bit hesitant in using the serum in the daytime as being Indian I don’t want to use products that make me smell like curry. I personally didn’t notice any turmeric in the ingredients list but turmeric is a very good for the skin but I just rather not smell like it. I have used the serum every day night before bed and I woke up with smoother and softer skin. The serum is concentrated and lightweight so only a little is needed to provide results. I would get this again and would love to try the other products from Mirai Clinical.

BBW Stress Relief Eucalyptus Spearmint Body Wash

The eucalyptus and spearmint enriched body wash promises to promote stress relief. The foaming body is enriched with skin conditioners with a blend of essential oils to promote body, mind and mood wellness. The body wash has a soft and relaxing minty scent. The bottle recommends breathing in deeply and boy, it smell calm and relaxing. It felt like being in a spa but without the pricey cost.

The rich cream is packed with 25% concentration of shea butter with a sweet scent of Jasmine. The whipped cream is packed with extracts of linseed, mallow, sweet almond and honey along with apricot oil and Vitamin E. The body cream is thick [perfect for the winter] but still light enough for the summer. It made my skin, soft, smooth and left a soft delicate scent on my skin. I love applying this after exfoliating [with Sundari Gotu Kola and Walnut Body Exfoliator] and then going to bed and waking to super soft skin.
