Love smelling like... Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly 100g




The pics above are when I first got them! Smelled soooooo good!! :D  Love this Shower Jelly!!

Thank you to my friend Christina who got this for me!! :D There was also a Glitterbar (Shimmy Shimmy Massage Bar) with this which I will review at a later date!

Pros:
- smells very good!
- Love the feeling of it on my body!! Slipperly and very nice!

Cons:
- ran out too quickly!! :(
- I had bits of it all over my shower floor! But that's alright - just wash it down the drain!
- I wish it came in a squeezy tube to be more hygenic. But that's ok! I washed the container after I used it and keep my lipglosses in it now!! Recycle! Reuse! :D Waste not, want not. ;)

More information of this product can be found from the official Lush website here!

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron honey & coriandar hand therapy - hand cream review



Product:
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron honey & coriandar hand therapy

Where can you get it from?David Jones

What size did I try?25g

Smell?Refreshingly, unisex, citricy, pleasant & with no hints of floral fragrancing!

Do I recommend it?I am not sure how much this runs for, but I do like it overall as a good nourishing handcream. The price would be on the higher side I believe, so I'd recommend it as a splurge or as an occasional use hand cream. For everyday long term use, unless you had the money to spend, there are cheaper alternatives.

Rating:
4/5
- 1 for the anticipated pricing, but it is really a nice, moisturising hand cream with a pleasant unisex scent that is a joy to use. The scent may be a bit TOO heavy for some, and too heavy for regular use, so this is also considered in the rating!

What hand cream are you using at the moment? Do you like it?

Nivea Whitening Inner Cell Repair Cream - Face & Body - Review




Purchased from: Sasa

Price: reasonable from what I remember!

(I had previously typed up this post but Blogger didn't save it... so here I go again... a shorter version because I am so annoyed -_-... not only can my new computer not transfer my new photos from my iPhone, tell me why!!?? but Blogger is super annoying....)


Pros
- UV protection
- quickly absorbed into the skin
- non-offensive smell
- non-greasy
- reasonable price
- no fuss packaging

Cons
- not available in Australia in stores - need to purchase online
- would be better as a tube (the packaging)
- not thick enough for my liking (a bit runny) - would be great as a face moisturiser but I used it as a handcream *but now i am onto VS hand and body creams so now I use it as my foot cream* I had purchased 10 of these now only have one left!! So I think I will try others - too inconvienient to by online!!

Like a baby... Johnson's baby bath! Empty & Review!



So... I finished this the other day! Actually I finished two of these off! I think they had a sale or something so I decided to buy two! I'm weird like that! Anyways, going through 2 whole bottles of these things.... I htink I qualify to review them!

Scent
Smells like baby powder? Nothing offensive at all. It's not like yummy or anything but othing special either.

No more tears?
Lol.. not sure... didn't get in my eyes!

Color?
It's blue!!

Would I repurchase?
Yes, I may, it's alright - price is alright, I mean nothing special about it but the bottle is a good small size so that's good. The blue liquid is cute lol... I will be trying out other body washes so I don't think I will settle on any just yet! But this is in my top 10 because a) affordable, b) simple not too fragranced, c) good simple and small packaging, d) doesn't clash with other scents, e) nothing offensive, f) I have nothing bad to say about it!

Verdict?
If it is good enough for a baby, it's good enough for me! lol!
As I said, I have nothing bad to say about it so I may repurchase in the future - a great everyday body wash! :D


I am using The Body Shop Peach Bath and Shower wash at the moment! Will review that at a later date!


What body wash are you using now? Do you like it?

Japanese Cherry Blossom Bath & Shower Gel - The Body Shop - Review


Showing here is the 60mL travel size version, but if you have been following me... you would know I have also purchased the full 250mL size after trying this!

I recceived this as part of a Christmas gift with a few other things - you know those packs they have on special occasions all packed up? This can with the body lotion as well, whcih I will review at a later time :)


Smell
Lovely!! Very nice & not too strong or overpowering

Texture
Runny, just like a shower gel should be

Does the smell last on your skin after the shower?
Not sure, because I moisturise after... but after I get out of the shower I can smell a hint of the shwoer gel. I think unless you use a lot of this gel, you will not be smelling it on yourself all day because I have said, it is a nice and light fraganced gel.

Are there other products in this line?
Yes!

Do I have them?
Yes! I have the body lotion, body mist, and the eau de toilette!!

Do I like the scent?
Yes!

Will I repurchase this particular shower gel?
I have an unopened 250mL bottle of this in my beauty stash so safe to say I have repurchased it, however, because it is relatively expensive in Australia... with NO SALES!!!!!! I think i may have to pass on this in the future - unless I receive it as gifts because it is just a but too pricey for my budget at the moment. However, if you can afford it, I would recommend you give it a try, at least once! :D

I Smell Like Peaches?? The Body Shop Peach Body Butter Review

Talk about smelling like a full on peach!!

How?

Slather this stuff on!!!!




200mL

Packaging:
Comes in a tub (twist/screw tub) - I'm not a huge fan of these tub things... I am more of a tub - squeeze kinda girllll... but hey, these looked cool, and Jennifer Lopez raves on how she loves these (but in Coconut? Or cocoa? Or something... not sure haha... do you guys know?) so I thought I'd gives these a go. I purchased this & also a Guava one... will review when I use!

Product:
butter = cream = thick

Moisturising?
Yes!! Great for winter! :)

Greasy?
No, not at all! I find it is not a super fast absorbed but not slow... so yea... not sticky & it feels alright...

How is the smell?
YES, you can smell it! It can be a bit much if you have a headache and want to put it all over your body. I would recommend in low dosages if you get headaches over scents easily.

Will I repurchase?
Not this scent, but I would be willing to try other scents in the same line if I found them intersting or nice smelling! I can look past the packaging haha...
