BBW Bourbon Strawberry and Vanilla Shea and Fruit Body Souffle

A shea butter enriched body cream that is scented of bourbon vanilla, garden strawberry and apricot nectar.  The body souffle is creamy and left my skin delicately scented.  The scent is a bit heavy but it wears down after a couple of minutes. I wouldn’t call it a favorite but I might get it again if it is on sale.

The rich cream is packed with 25% concentration of shea butter with a sweet scent of Jasmine. The whipped cream is packed with extracts of linseed, mallow, sweet almond and honey along with apricot oil and Vitamin E. The body cream is thick [perfect for the winter] but still light enough for the summer. It made my skin, soft, smooth and left a soft delicate scent on my skin. I love applying this after exfoliating [with Sundari Gotu Kola and Walnut Body Exfoliator] and then going to bed and waking to super soft skin.

Tarte 12 Hour Amazonian Clay Lipstick - Inspired

The neutral lipstick is a soft beige color and is packed with clay and natural butters like mango, avocado and shea. The lipstick promises to provide rich, vivid and long lasting color. The lipstick went on smooth and felt creamy. Personally, the color was not my favorite.  I was looking for a neutral color but this matched my natural lip color to well. And it didn't last very long. I had to reapply quite often.

L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

The super popular hand cream is sold every three seconds around the world. The hand cream is enriched with 20% shea butter, honey, almond extracts and coconut oil. The cream promises to absorb quickly to soften, smooths, protect, and moisturize.  The  reamy lotion goes on smoothly but I find it left my hand a bit greasy. My hands does feel soft and smooth but I wasn’t fond of the greasy feeling. So I use it mostly at night before going to bed so I can wake up with soft hands without dealing with the greasy feeling. I did try putting a small amount but my hands still felt dry and looked ashy.

The Rose Petal lip balm is supposedly should smell like roses but it doesn’t smell anything close to it. It wasn’t  particularly bad smelling either; I was just not very fond of it. The rich creamy lip balm goes on smooth and leaves my lips soft.  The non sticky lip balm is formulated 10% shea butter which was naturally sourced. The lip balm promises to “nourish, protect and repair dry and chapped lips” and doesn’t leave lips greasy. Overall,  I did like the lip balm [it did live up to it’s promise] but didn’t really care for the scent and the taste.
