EOS Hand Lotion





These cute little EOS hand lotions have quickly became my favorite purse staple. I throw them in with a hand sanitizer. Theyre the perfect size, they moisturize well, and they smell really fresh. I paid $2.99 for this at WalMart which is not bad at all! If you're looking for a travel-friendly hand lotion you should really check these out!

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream





I recently had $3 in CVS Extra Care bucks so I decided to take the opportunity to get my hands on Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, which i have been dying to try!! I ended up paying $3 flat for it (after taxes).

First of all, the term 'cream' should not be used in the title, its actually a balm. The surface is very firm and has the exact consistency of most potted lip balms I own. When i think of the word 'cream', i think of lotions or moisturizers, and this is not like that. I find that I have to warm this cuticle cream up by swirling my finger across the top several times, then it applies nicely.

The scent is heavenly in my opinion, it smells exactly like fresh sweet lemonade. After rubbing this onto my cuticles they are almost immediately softened. They are slightly greasy (but not much) for the first couple minutes but it seems to absorb fairly quickly. I like ti apply it directly after I get out of the shower, and also right before bed.

Overall, i love this stuff! Its almost as awesome as my LUSH Lemony Flutter!

Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream



Click to enlarge.


I purchased this hand cream a few days ago at CVS for $8.99. It seemed a little pricey considering how small the glass jar is, but its a great product.

I have read alot of mixed reviews on this Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream, but i personally love it. Yes, at first it makes your hands a tad bit greasy, but its not 'heavy' and absorbs quickly. It applies more like a hand salve than a cream in the sense that it's thick and not a thin water-based lotion. It reminds me ALOT of my Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter (best product ever!). I like to use it by takng a dime-sized amount at a time and massaging into my cuticles and problem areas on my hands first, then i take a quarter-sized amount and smooth all over hands to finish. It has a faint cherry-almond scent thats really delicious but not strong and overpowering.

I prefer using this right before bed as it give my hands more time to soak up the moisture. Since it is slightly greasy for the first couple minutes, I find it best to do it then so I dont have to worry about touching anything and/or using my hands. I also find that this is the best time for me to use it as my hands are ultra soft in the morning and my damaged cuticles are 10x healthier looking

Victorias Secret Beauty Rush Body Glimmer & Body Mist


I bought these two Victorias Secret Beauty Rush products (and another mist) at 3 for $25 a couple days ago. This particular scent is "Candy, Baby" and it's in the Body Double Mist and Body Glimmer Cream. It smells EXACTLY like cotton candy!!!


BODY GLIMMER CREAM:
"A sparkling twist on daily hydration! Super-nourishing body cream with ProVitamin B5 and Shea Butter quenches skin with shimmering moisture. Glimmer up, and sugarcoat it with Candy, Baby!"
This body cream is swirled with sparkle, and the two products mix when pumped through the bottle. Its a good moisturizer but not heavy at all, so I would feel comfortable wearing it in Spring/Summer. It smells alot like cotton candy and applies very smoothly. It spread out nicely on skin and absorbs surprisingly fast. Within the last two days I have used about 5-6 pumps of this and I can tell it will last a LONG time. I use: 1 pump per leg, 1 pump for both arms, 2 pumps for torso.






BODY DOUBLE MIST:
"A doubly sweet hydration sensation! Two layers of skin conditioners and fragrance mix things up for soft, scented skin. Shake well, spritz on, and sugercoat it with Candy, Baby!"
Ok, this stuff is amazing! The mist smells like 100% real cotton candy (even more so than the cream), and is so easy to apply. It would be absolutely PERFECT for Summer. It moisturizes and hydrates without being heavy at all, you can barely feel it on skin but it gives you a healthy glow. I can see myself spritzing this on right after a shower in the hot summer and my skin being refreshed and hydrated w/o making me sweat (we all know some body products can do that when its hot!). I cant say enough good things about this Body Double Mist, everyone should try it!! A wonderful alternative to lotion

AVON Shea Foot Souffle


I use to regularly buy this foot souffle from AVON until it mysteriously disappeared from the catalogs. Recently, my husband (who works at AVON Distribution as an Area Lead) brought home a catalog and I was so shocked to see this back in stock!! Its not the EXACT formula i use to buy,  but it seems to be better. They are sold online and through an AVON rep for $2.99 each. VERY cheap!!

The texture is heavenly.... very silky & creamy but light at the same time. And although these tubs are small at only 5 fl oz., they last such a loooong time!! It also has a soft scent that i can't quite put my finger on, but it isnt strong and definitely doesnt linger. This stuff leaves my feet feelings soft, supple, and hydrated. On my last AVON haul i bought 3 jars (should have bought more!). I hope they keep it around! Fortunately for me, my husband gets a huge discount and i purchased them for $0.99 each.
