The Cottage Greenhouse Rosemary Mint Rescue Foot Cream











My feet get so dry that they start to crack and become very painful. I have to rub on a thick cream and sometimes, that doesn't even help. The luscious foot cream is packed with jojoba, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, menthol, beeswax, and tea tree oil. The cream absorbs quickly and leaves skin with a gentle tingly feeling. I rub the foot cream on before bed and wake up with softer soles.

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.

Shea Moisture Organic African Black Soap







The floral scented body bar soap is packed with organic Shea Butter, Oats, tamarind extract, tar, Vitamin E, Plantain Extract, Palm Ash, Rosemary Extract, and Aloe. The moisturizing soap cleans, moisturizes and protects against irritated skin while absorbing excess oil. It also helps relieves symptoms of eczema and psoriasis while keeping skin clear of blemishes. The soap lathers well and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. The plantain extract provided a gentle exfoliation and left my skin soft and smooth. The only thing I don’t like is that the bar doesn’t last very long.

Exuviance Age Reverse BioActiv Wash








The creamy cleaner is packed with Polyhydroxy Acid blends, maltobionic Acid and a botanical extract cocktail of aloe, rose, chamomile, rosemary and cucumber. In all honesty, when I was using this product I didn’t even realize it had that many botanical extract ingredients, especially since it doesn’t have floral scent. The foamy wash promises to exfoliate and stimulate cell renewal. My favorite part of this wash is that it does clean my skin very well and the foam is so easy to use and apply.

Skin & Co Bagnodoccia Sicilian Body Gel







This delicately scented shower gel is packed with zesty ingredients  like orange, rosemary extracts and olive oil which were sourced from Italy. The body wash left my skin feeling soft and lather decently enough. It was okay body gel and I probably won’t be buying it again. I wasn’t too fond of the scent but I did make me wish I was in Italy though!

Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion







The hypoallergenic dermatologist tested is made for sensitive skin and clinically proven to provide  moisturization.  The 99% natural lotion is packed with natural extracts of aloe, buttermilk, chamomile, calendula, St. John’s Wort, rosemary and linden flower to smooth and soothe achy skin. The lotion absorbed quickly but left my hand feeling sticky and the lotion doesn’t smell very pleasant. It is not the worst lotion I have ever used but I am not really into the scent and my sticky fingers afterwards.
