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.

BBW Aromatherapy Sleep Lavender and Cedarwood 24hr Moisture Butter

The cream is scented with lavender and cedarwood essential oils which promotes relaxation and sleep. The cream is enriched with mango seed butter, cocoa seed butter that helps keep skin hydrated. The thick cream was easy to spread but, it did leave my skin slightly greasy.Overall, it's an indulgent treat  to be included in my nighttime ritual.

Crystal Waters Winter Pear Scented Soap Petals

I got this as a set for the holidays. One of the junkiest thing I can get (while I do love the person who gave it to me, it just meh..should have given me the $5 instead). Excuse me, while I have a snob moment -- just because I like beauty products and I like sales, I don’t feel like I should get generic beauty products where everything is just off… Why? Because then you end up with shitty little things like these that take up the prime real estate. The glycerine soap petals are infused with soap that you would need one petal at a time to provide a generous lather. However, this is far from the case. The petals were impossible to remove and then they provided no lather and just turned into mush. I thought if I used the whole “flower” maybe I can get a decent lather going. Oh, how was I wrong! Instead the whole thing turned into “play-doh” consistency and fell apart into pieces, while sticking to my tub. It was probably one of the most useless products I ever used -- a complete waste of time and money. I am fearful of even trying the other products that came in this crappy kit.

Level Naturals Organic Menthol + Cucumber Shower Bomb

I have always been a huge fan of menthol and bath bombs. I have tried Levels Natural Shower Bomb before but in a different scent. I thought menthol and cucumber would be an interesting and relaxing scent. The aroma was relaxing but the menthol was a bit more overpowering and the cucumber was barely scented. With most natural products, you should definitely use within a couple of days to opening otherwise the scent wears away really quickly.

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion

This sweet smelling sunscreen goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. I love how it had a sweet tropical smell and not heavy chemical odor like other sunscreens.  It has hydrating silk ribbons that moisturize your skin while protecting you from the sun. It is packed with nourishing antioxidants and exotic botanical extracts. When I first applied this product to my face it stung a bit which eventually went away after three uses.  It could be that my face is just a bit sensitive to new products. I didn’t have that problem when I applied it to my body.  While the skin ribbons did moisturize my skin during application, I noticed it faded away after three to four hours. Overall, I think it is good buy for a drugstore sunscreen.
