Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme










I have used Nivea products in the past few years but, I believe this was the first time I have tried this product. I read that it got so many good reviews, I figured I would give it a shot since I have terrible dry skin. The light formula is enriched with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil to promote soft, smooth and supple skin. While the creme promises to be fast absorbing,  I felt that my skin was still a bit greasy afterwards albeit moisturized though.

Naobay Natural and Organic Oxygenating Cream Moisturizing








The creamy lotion is enriched with avocado and olive oil. It promises to nourish, protect and hydrate. The cream went in smoothly and left my skin looking radiant. I am not sure why it’s called oxygenating. I have tried Bliss Oxygen and it fizzes when you apply it to your face; this product doesn’t do that.

Marlowe Extra Moisturizing Body Lotion






The hydrating moisturizer is  enriched with passion flower fruit, green tea, willow bark and deep sea algae. The lotion promised to nourish, smooth, and revitalize skin. The Marlowe had a gender neutral pleasant scent but a fellow coworker told me it smelled faintly like dish soap. The lotion left my hand soft and smooth but unfortunately, it didn’t last after washing my hands.

Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for Sensitive Skin









The dermatologist recommended cream is free from most common chemical irritants. The unscented (I wasn’t able to smell much of anything) goes on smoothly and was absorbed quickly. However, I found constantly re-applying lotion throughout the day. Perfect for people with sensitive skin, everyone else there is something better out there.

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.

St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter Moisturizing Body Wash







When I think of oatmeal and shea butter, the last thing I think of is something sweet and floral scented. This body wash has this weird scent, as doesn’t smell like oatmeal cookies but has a  more  sophisticated “floral” scent. The creamy body wash is formulated with oatmeal, shea butter, 100% natural glycerin,  and pure swiss glacial water. My skin during the winter, well hot weather too,  my skin gets scaly and ashy. To my surprise, this rich body wash kept my skin hydrated, moisturized and sooo smooth and soft! Even though, I was using my boiling hot water my skin didn’t even feel stripped or dehydrated. This hypoallergenic and paraben free body wash is my go to whenever my skin needs a bit of pampering.

BBW Cucumber Melon Shower Gel

The fresh scented shower gel is packed with aloe vera and nourishing Vitamin E. The crisp scent is perfect for a luxurious spa day at home especially during late Spring or early Summer. The shower gel gave lavish lather and left my skin delicately scented and soft. Overall, I love this scent in the warmer months because the scent is not overpowering but light and fresh. Although, still left my skin moisturize.

Pritte Organic Skin Therapy Moisturizing Body Lotion




The creamy body lotion is made with hand cut and filleted [does anyone else think about fish?] organic aloe vera and organic honey. The body lotion left my skin moisturized and glowy. It fully absorbed into my skin after couple minutes of application. The lotion has a soft honey citrus scent, non greasy and wasn’t very thick. The only thing I am a bit sad that the lotion is a bit expensive so I will probably buy this one in awhile as a treat.

The floral flower nectar cream is packed with mint, orange blossom waters, codium, wild pansy, and moringa oleifera [doesn’t that just sound so heavenly!]. The sweet scented creamy lotion is non-greasy and fast absorbing. It made my skin smooth, soft and radiant looking. I used the Neroli Essential serum as a carrier before applying the moisturizing cream and my face  felt and looked amazing. Using these two sweet scented powerful duo works amazing together and afterwards my skin feels and looks like I just came back from the spa.

LaLicious Brown Sugar & Vanilla Sugar Souffle Moisturizing Body Scrub



Some things go better in pairs – hot chocolate and whipped cream, peanut butter and jelly, cheese and crackers…I am so hungry now! What was I talking about again? During the winter/fall seasons, I notice my skin feeling scaly and rough. I have tried their “Sugar Kiss” body scrub and was impressed with the quality. I wanted to try the other scents in their body scrub line. This scent didn’t disappoint. It has a sweet alluring scent while applying and which lingers after washing off the sugar scrub. The pure cane sugar crystals body scrub is packed with coconut oil, sweet almond and vitamin E oils that help moisturize, smooth and condition your skin. This is a nice guilt free way to treat yourself during the holidays or any time really.

BBW Winter Candy Apple Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion



When I first came across this lotion I was intoxicated by the sweet allure of it. After I bought this I couldn’t wait to try it out. I instantly became disheartened when I noticed that it was an antibacterial lotion with Triclosan. As I am a germ freak, I carry and have tried tons of hand sanitizers.  Most of them dry out my hand or leave my hands sticky.  I assumed that this lotion would either leave my hand sticky or dry it out because of the triclosan.  But this lotion did not disappoint. It left my hand soft, sweetly scented and clean from germs [or so I assume and will continue to believe]. The lotion is enriched with vitamin B and E and wheat germ oil which gave its moisturizing properties.

Zest Moisturizing Body Wash - Ocean Breeze


Photo Source - Soap


During the hot sweaty months of summer, this body wash is a lifesaver. Some might argue that it is packed with a chemical fragrance and synthetic ingredients. Well, I say to hell with that, because when you‘re packed tighter than sardines in a tin on the morning train commute and someone who smells less than pleasant isthisclosetoyou, you will be thanking Zest for the clean scent. Not only does the body wash impart pleasant scent , it is also very moisturizing.  I am mostly fond of this body wash because of the long lasting scent.

Sephora Super Supreme Body Butter

I recently bought this for my trip to Amsterdam. Usually, my skin has a habit of acting up every time I am on vacation trying to look pretty. Not this time! Good bye dry scaly skin and hello smooth, soft baby skin! I love how moisturized it left my skin.  The body butter was thick and was absorbed quickly. I was especially in love with the fact that my skin didn’t feel sticky after application. I like how the butter was packed with HydroSenn+,  shea, illipe and mango butters. I will definitely stock up on this and use it through the year.
