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.

Acure Cell Stimulating Body Wash Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Argan Oil

This fresh scented body is packed with fair trade certified ingredients such  moroccan argan stem cells, CoQ10, organic argan, sea buckthorn and pumpkin seed oil. The 100% biodegradable promises to feed and restore cells. The formula is also vegan, paraben, gluten synthetic fragrance, silicone and phthalate free. The body wash gave a generous lather and left my skin feel smooth and soft. Overall, my favorite part of this product was the scent and my skin felt tingly like my cells were getting “stimulated” but that sounds so wrong.

One Bath and Body Natural Body Soap in Blast from the Past

I bought this sweet scented soap on sale at this discounted beauty market. The sweet scent immediately made me want..no..need this in my life. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin super soft and smooth. The only thing I didn't like is that the paper that the soap came in stuck to the soap. It took a bit before I could get half of it off. Granted, this could have been an issue with the place I bought the soap from. I would definitely get this again but in a different store.

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.

Burt's Bees Spearmint & Lime Body Wash

The spearmint and lime infused wash is a gentle all - in - one formula. The gentle cleanser is made with coconut  and sunflower oils to create a rich lather. I love the fresh and crisp scent. It is perfect for size and scent to pack in my gym bag.

BBW Sleep Lavender Chamomile Body Lotion

We all have those days where we have one too many things on the checklist to be done and not enough hours in the day. And, if our lives weren’t demanding enough, sometimes it’s quite difficult to get a full restful night of sleep. This BBW Sleep lotion promises to help enhance sleep naturally without the help of pills. It is formulated with lavender and chamomile essential oils to soothe and calm the body and mind into a peaceful slumber. The creamy lotion goes on smoothly and leaves my skin delicately soft. While, I am not entirely sure this lotion makes me sleep better but it does make might nightly routine more peaceful and calm.

Sephora Tangerine Grapefruit Body Lotion

I came across this body lotion along with several other varieties of it while organizing my room. I didn’t even know I had these  but it was a nice treat to use. I like the unique shape of the container. It seems this body lotion has been discounted for awhile,which makes me sad since it was a really good product. I noticed a lot of Sephora’s products get discounted very quickly. The body lotion is packed with aloe vera and jojoba to soften and moisturize. The body lotion is lightly scented with white grapefruit, Italian mandarin, blood orange, lily of the valley, and Gold Coast jasmine. The creamy lotion went on smoothly and absorbed easy and didn’t make my skin greasy. I really like this body lotion, I wish they would bring  this back :(

The Body Shop Chocomania Sugar Body Scrub

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with chocolate. This deliciously chocolate scented sugar body scrub is packed with cocoa butter and organic cane sugar. The sugar scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. I love how soft my skin felt and the sweet chocolate scent on my skin. If you love chocolate and body scrubs, you  should definitely give this a try.

Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash + Bubbling Bath

I bought this travel size version for one my weekend trips and was so glad I did. The scent was very lemony but it was quite sophisticated and didn’t smell like floor cleaner. I am guessing that because of hints of sage blended in. I also like how you can use it as a body wash or as a bubble bath. I have only used it as a body wash and I absolutely in love with it. The body wash gives a generous lather and leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth while leaving my skin delicately scented. My only qualm is the bottle was a bit hard and when I used both hands, nothing was coming out but when I used one hand the product came out more freely. I am hoping they did that intentionally so you don’t squeeze out too much product at once. I do have a really bad habit of using a lot of product for everything. When they say use a dime size, I use a quarter size.

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.

Seductively French Citrus Sorbet Body Lotion

I had a gift card from the holidays and I came across this body lotion and I thought I would give it a try. It was pretty expensive at $38 at 8oz. I figured it either has to be really good or it’s mediocre and I just overpaid. The sweet scented sorbet body lotion went on smoothly almost like whipped cream. The body lotion is 98% natural and 83% organic ingredients and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, synthetic coloring, DEA, silicone, PEG, PGG and aluminum. The sumptuous body lotion is packed  with green tea, aloe, and shea butter that absorbed quickly into my skin and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. I loved putting on this soft decadent lotion and waking up with softer, smoother and delicately scented.

Dial NutriSkin Replenishing Hand and Body Lotion, Soothing

During the summer months, spending time at the beach or under the frigid air of my beloved AC,  my skin gets dry, flaky, scaly and a bit itchy.  I saw this in the shelf and I thought I might give this a try since it promises 24 hour hydration and helps with dry and itchy skin. The lotion is a packed with beta-glucan, zinc, Chamomile, amino acids, and Vitamin A, C, E. The creamy lotion did go on smoothly and left my skin feel soft and smooth. I didn’t notice if they lotion lasted a full 24 hours since I usually put lotion on once or twice day. Overall, I did like and I would use it again.

VMV Hypoallergenics Illuminants + Face - Hand - Body Lotion

The sun, the ever fickle lover. Like a toxic ex-boyfriend, it showers you with bright love and then a couple years, you see the bad side of it’s love -- the wrinkles, the saggy skin and the sun spots! While, the body lotion can’t help with the wrinkles and saggy skin, it promises to help the sun spots.  Packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, green tea, and rice phytic acid to clarify, lighten and brighten skin.  I have been using it religiously on my hands and on my sun kissed shoulders and while the spots didn’t disappear, they lightened and became less noticeable. A good product to stock up one when spending too many days with my toxic lover. On a side note, since this lotion has AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that “may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn”, according to the book of instructions that came with the lotion.  So be sure not to skimp on the sunscreen!

Four Truffle Lime Basil Mandarin Body Butter

The rich whipped body butter has unisex scent of citrus and peppery undertones. The body butter is packed with shea butter, vitamin E, aloe vera juice and the oils of olive, argan and virgin coconut. According to the Four Truffle’s product description, the body butter promises “neutralize free radicals and infuse skin with essential fatty acids, iron, vitamins and intense nourishment”. I am not sure if the body butter actually neutralized the target, doesn’t  that sound very high tech? The rich body butter is thick and left my skin feeling greasy. Which why I tend to use this before bed and wake up with softer and smoother skin.
