Review:JR Watkins Natural Body Care Kit

You know I love a samplers. About a week or two ago I received a package from JR Watkins. It was the Natural Body Care Kit and it included:

All-Natural Lavender Hand & Cuticle Salve (0.25 oz.)
All-Natural Lemon Body Oil (1 fl. oz.)
All-Natural Lemon Hand & Cuticle Salve (0.25 oz.)
Aloe & Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion (1 fl. oz.)
Lemon Cream Shea Butter (0.7 oz.)
Mango Shea Butter (0.7 oz.)
Peppermint Foot Cream (1 fl. oz.)
Vanilla Hand & Body Lotion (1 fl. oz.)


My favorites were All Natural Lemon Body Oil layered with Lemon Cream Shea Butter. I smelled like lemon pound cake!!!I love to have the Lemon Body Oil in a big size. I also loved the Peppermint Foot Cream. It was cooling and moisterizing at the same time and held well after i took my socks off the next morning. The Hand and Cuticle Salves in Lemon and in Lavender were immediately put in my handbag. They tend to be more of a cuticle salve unless you have very dry hands or you like oily hands. My least favorite, but not terribly bad, was the Mango Shea Butter. It smelled like Hot 6 Oil or one of those "Miracle Grow"Hair Greases! LOL!They just need to rework the scent. Maybe not mix it with Shea Butter?



Overall,Out of 8 items, only one didn't grab me.It's great if you haven't used JR Watkins products,which you buy at Target.

Flirting in the Grass...

Today I went to Kohls to pick up a regular size of Grassroots While You Were Sleeping Overnight moisturizer. I was impressed by the trial size that I purchased about a month ago.Kohls had a 15% off all cosmetics plus every purchase over $25 gets a free tote. So you know I got caught up plus I had the "Def Squad"(my kids) with me. Here's what I picked up( quickly):

Grassroots While You Were Sleeping Overnight Moisturizer

Flirt! Pretty Easy Quick Cover in Golden Goddess Warm

Grassroots The Great Escape Totally Relaxing Bath Salts

Flirt! Big Deal Lip&Cheek Tint in Tini Bikini

Flirt! Dreamy Eyes Eyeshadows in Golden Lady and Glamourazzi


I WILL give reviews...if I keep all of it.:)

Buried Treasures...The Fragrance Edition

I haven't did one these in a while even though there is not a day that goes by where I'm not like"I have this?". This rainy morning I was hunting down a fragrance to make this day feel a little better. It's Tuesday,I have to be at work early, "Bubba Boy" AKA "Big Ole' Baby" has asthma and I was up last night giving him a breathing treatment and yeah, that its "that" time of the month. I needed a pick me up in the scent nature because I was tired and sleepy. I scanned my dresser full of fragrances I saw nothing I wanted to wear( despite having 5 new scents). I saw a little box sitting to side of the dresser and notice that there were several samples of fragrances. And I mean GOOD stuff I forgot I had even though they are samples or decants:

Stila Midnight Bloom
Fresh Index Pink Jasmine
Fresh Cannibis Santal
JLO Love at First Glow
CK Euphoria
DKNY Red Delicious
Jil Sander Sport
EllenTracy
Baby Grace
Pure Grace
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
Marc Jacobs Essence
Allure by Chanel
Staked Style Fuji Flower
Flowerbomb

I decided to wear Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf and Kiehls Musk. What I great start to a less than okay day!!
