Essence of Beauty Citrus Coconut Body & Hand Lotion Review

This is a Body & Hand Lotion from the brand Essence of Beauty, The brand is basically a "store brand" from CVS but guess what you would hardly ever know if it was a "store brand" or by CVS cuz it doesn't say it anywhere on the packiging :). This is only going to be a itsy-bitsy review as i don't have much time to do this :(

First off the scent "Citrus Coconut" smells awesome! it is a light, airy, citrus scent that i love! (espically since i love all things coconut). It moisturizes pretty well actually im pretty impressed with it as it is a "store brand" and it is rather cheap, it's a little bit watery than most of my lotions/creams but oh well. But it is not that greasy, it sinks into my skin well so there is not much residue left behind like some lotions do........
and for the mere $5.99 price tag it's great!

The Verdict
I love this lotion!, The smell is heaven on earth, the lotion is light and airy feeling and does not leave greasy residue behind.


PROS:
  • Smell is awesome!
  • Price
  • Airy feel
  • No residue left behind
MEH:
  • At times can be a little watery
CONS:
  • Nothing really :DD
FINAL GRADE5/5

Would i buy this again? YES!

Where can i get it? CVS and online

The Body Shop 100% Natural Lip Roll-On In Rose Review

I recently made an order from The Body Shop's website, and i saw these on there so i got one :)



This is a Roll-on lip gloss/oil from the Body Shop, It is in the flavor 'Rose' and is basically a mix of oils Such as Olive oil and Soya oil. Well shall we start ze review?

This as i was saying smells like 'rose', which i was almost sold on the product when i heard that they had rose flavored Roll-ons, and well it does taste delicous and like roses <3. It does a not so good job at mouisturizing, i mean i was a little disappointed about the fact that it does not mouisturize that well, when it does mouisturize it only lasts for 20 or 30 minutes :/ (ekk thats terrible for a lip balm/lip gloss). It is 100% sheer (if you did not expect that), which does not really disappoint me that much as i was expecting it, It's basically like putting scented/flavored oil on your lips. It usaully lasts on my lips for around 1-2 hours. But i really do love the roller ball applicator :)
The Verdict
I hate how this Roll-on moiusturizes (which, it really doesn't :P), It only lasts on my lips for 1-2 hours before i have to reapply, But the scent is really good!. They are a so-so product for $6 :) i also love the roller ball applicator!

PROS:
  • Scent is good.
  • Roller ball applicator
  • Nice price tag :)

MEH:
  • You have to reapply after 1-2 hours or so :/
CONS:
  • Moisturizes pretty badly
.
FINAL GRADE
3/5

Would i buy this again? eh, maybe?

Where can i get it? Thebodyshop.com , The body shop retailers , etc
