Skinfix Ultra Rich Hand Repair Cream










I believe there is two "different" hand creams but, they both have the same tube design. I found both the "rich" and the "regular" hand cream to be the same. I am thinking they might have updated the packaging. 

The dermatologist-recommended hand cream is enriched with shea butter, allantoin, aloe leaf juice, chamomile, calendula, coconut, and sunflower oil to provide hydration and moisture to dry skin. The creamy lotion goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It does leave hands slightly greasy but, not unbearably so.

Leaders Insolution Coconut Gel Mask with Blueberry








I have quite a few of Leader Insolution masks and they are usually more expensive than my "day to day" ones. The gel mask is packed with blueberry extracts and vitamins to hydrate and strengthen skin. It promises to target dry and rough skin will correcting imbalanced oil production in the skin. This sounds like a multitasking mask!

The bio-cellulose mask fits my face decently well. There was a bit of shortage and overages in some areas. The masks did have a faint blueberry scent. It did leave my skin with a slightly tacky dewy hydrated finish. Since these masks sometimes can cost around $5 per piece, I use them in between my $4 under face masks.

Primark Home Paradise Palm and Coconut Candle

t




I love Primark! The store is filled with affordable finds for every occasion and person. A few items have questionable quality though. The clothing can be worn out quicker than other brands and the fit varies per item. I love their candles as they are small and fragrant and usually under $5. This one had a soft tropical scent that wasn't very overpowering. I usually lit this candle after I finished cooking or when I am in the tub soaking. The scent is quite soft and fades quite quickly. But, when I am trying to cut down on expenses, the candle is a nice treat.

Salus Organic Lotion Bar - Lemongrass




The organic lotion bar is a lush mix of organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, sunflower oil, organic coconut oil, and organic beeswax. The lotion bars were moisturizing and delicately scented but it left my skin feeling a bit greasy and I found the need to constantly reapply lotion throughout the day.

Skinfix Lip Repair Balm





The lip balm promises to hydrate and restore dry lips. The flavor and fragrance free lip balm is packed with coconut and jojoba oil to keep lips hydrated and supple. It is free of gluten, parabens and phthalates.  The balm went on smoothly but left my skin a bit greasy. However, I found myself constantly reapplying as my skin felt dry throughout the day.

Premium Barbary Soap - Badlands









The organic soap is composed of certified organic oils of sunflower, safflower, coconut and palm. It is scented with essential oils of sage, lavadin, lemongrass, spearmint with calendula petals and rosemary extracts (these were not certified organic). The soap arrived in a plastic baggie with a heavy duty cardboard box covering a portion of it. Personally, I would have prefer my soap to be shrink wrapped for hygiene reasons. The bar is a decent size, a bit smaller than a L'Occitane size bar and a Irish Spring bar. A tad thicker in width but smaller in length than Jergen's soap. The soap is fragrant and somewhat appealing. I can't figure out why I am not exactly in love with the scent . My first using of the bar, I found it hard to rub against my skin and felt a bit waxy. The second use and afterwards, the soap glided against my skin more easily without a waxy feeling. The soap didn't offer much of a lather nor left my skin moisturized. With a $15 price tag, I at least expected it to scent my skin a bit. Sadly, I didn't smell any of the essential oils on me. It's an okay soap but I don't think the price tag is justified.

The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter




The creamy body butter is packed with nourishing beeswax, tropical virgin organic coconut oil and hydrating shea butter. Although, the body butter claims to have a tropical coconut scent; it smells more like cocoa butter to me. It also has the same consistency and melt in your skin texture. My skin felt soft and smooth but I didn’t get 24 hour hydration as promised. Overall, it’s a mediocre product. I feel like you can get the same quality from a jar of Palmer’s Cocoa butter from the drugstore without the $20 price tag.

The Body Shop Coconut Soap








The vegetable-based, preservative-free coconut soap is made with organic pure cold pressed virgin coconut, palm  and soy oil. The creamy soap lathers well and left my skin feeling smooth and soft.  The scent is very subtle and I don’t notice it on my skin afterwards. I am not sure why this is called coconut soap as the scent reminds me of cocoa butter instead. I prefer the scent of The Body Shop - Moringa Soap scent instead.

Me Bath! Mini Bath Ice Cream

Photo Source - Me Bath!




Let me go on record, I LOVE baths! I am fond of the Me bath! ice creams but they were just too big sometimes for one bath and cutting it half was not feasible. I came across these and they were perfect. The mini baths salts are perfect for single use or you can throw in a couple to create your own scent. The mini balls do change the water color but doesn’t stain the bath tub. I also love how soft it makes my skin and leaves a soft scent on my skin. Each box contains 2 chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and 1 pomegranate, pear, apple, coconut, papaya and peach to make bath time fun. If you need inspiration on making a bath time scent; the box contains some recipes to make some fun variations like chocolate covered strawberries.
