Winter skin BEGONE!

I stumbled upon this on the clearance rack at Rite Aid last weekend. It was ~$4 if I remember correctly. I hope that it being on clearance was not a signal that St. Ives wasn't going to make it anymore, cause this stuff is AWESOME.

St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Cream

I mean super awesome. Rad-awesome. I was scratching my legs in my SLEEP they were so itchy, and in ONE day (1!!) it took everything back to silky smooth. I had been using just a generic Suave lotion, which was ok, but I felt like I had to keep re-applying and even then I still had dry, itchy legs. St. Ives took care of that. Plus, it doesn't feel greasy or too thick like some "body creams" or "body butters" can feel. I've been using it daily since I got it, which is a big deal cause I am horrible about applying lotion diligently, especially in the winter when no one but T sees my legs.

I'm rating it higher than more expensive stuff I've tried from Sephora, Korres, and Pacifica. If I see this stuff again I plan to stock up just in case it really is going away (please St Ives...don't take it away).

Review: Suave Cocoa Butter with Shea

I recently ran out of my standard St. Ives Mineral Therapy lotion, and decided to try a new and less expensive brand, Suave.

It's consistency is a little thinner than I normally like, but it goes on smoothly and doesn't get greasy or sticky throughout the day. It doesn't smell like much (a slight hint of cocoa, but not overpowering), but I like neutral lotion so it doesn't compete with my perfume. It stays on throughout the day, and my skin doesn't feel dry.

For $4.99 at Walgreens (purchased myself), I'd totally buy again. It can also be found at any other drugstore or grocery store.

Pacifica products on sale at Sephora!

Pacifica is having a sale at Sephora. Buy two full size body washes or lotions for only $25! Normally this would be $40. I LOVE LOVE their Tuscan Blood Orange scent, so I will definitely purchase this. I think the Lemon Blossom will be my second choice. Nice and light for summer!
