Review: Twilight Woods Lotion - Bath & Body Works

Hello everyone! I lost my SD card for my camera, days before I’m to leave for Florida, lucky me! So the photo is not mine unfortunately, I’m about halfway through my bottle!

First off the design of the bottle, nothing special just a plastic bottle as most lotions are packaged in although the Bath & Body works labels are very girly and cute.
The claim to this lotion on the website is “America’s #1 Body Lotion just got better! With 2 x the moisture and 3 x the Shea, our enhanced lotion contains more of what skin loves, leaving it feeling incredibly soft, smooth and nourished. Fortified with nutrient-rich ingredients like protective Vitamin E and fast absorbing Jojoba Oil, our ultra-nourishing formula delivers 16 hours of continuous moisture.”
I agree it keeps skin smooth, but 16 hours of continuous moisture? No, I don’t think so. Stretching the truth Bath & Body Works a bit, don’t you think? I have ultimately dry skin and this helps but I apply every second day after showering so it has no more staying power then other lotions I’ve tried.
Last thing to mention is the scent, by far one of the most famous and original scents B&BW has to offer. It’s in my top five along with Warm Sugar Vanilla, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Vanilla Bean Latte and Winter Candy Apple (both from the winter line). I find it’s a very musky scent and not overpoweringly sweet like some of the other scents. I wear this year round but I do consider it more of a fall//winter scent.
If you’re looking for a new lotion, check it out. I recommend buying it when B&BW has many of their buy 2 or 3 get 2 or 3 products free sales ;)

Bri LOVES Topshop Lipsticks

 
Hello, sorry it’s been a few days! I’ve been loving Topshop lately and their lipsticks are fantastic. Let’s start with the packaging, cutest packaging I’ve yet to see on a lipstick although being a whitish tube it tends to get pretty gross looking after being tossed into my makeup bag but that’s just me not caring if I preserve the nice tube. I sadly do only have this one Topshop lipstick right now in the color “beehive” I adore this color its a really not overly bright but still not a nude pink, the lasting power is nothing amazing but for $14 CAD which is $5 cheaper than MAC I’m not complaining. This doesn’t cling to the dry patches on your lips which is always nice and glides on smoothly. If you’ve yet to try out the Topshop lipsticks take a look, they have a really nice range of colors.

A not so glamorous review -- Nizoral Shampoo

Hey guys it’s been a bit but I’m back with another review. I have an extremely dry scalp and I have tried tons of products with no avail. Nizoral is an anti fungal shampoo used for dandruff. It claims to “kill the fungus that  can cause dandruff” Its not a pretty looking bottle but it’s not exactly supposed to be so no complaints. I’ve been using this for about a week and I haven’t seen a DRASTIC change but I have noticed my head is not so itchy all the time to the point of driving me insane although I still have some flakes. It’s been calming it down for sure, it does dry the hair out so I use it about twice a week as it’s not meant to be used as a daily shampoo. My scratching was so bad I was starting to acquire scabs, gross I know. For the amount of time I’ve been using this my head feels a lot better, I don’t have so many bad areas as before. The patches I do scratch no longer turn into scabs so I really like this shampoo. The one downside I do have is that this is $12.99 for the smaller bottle in Shopper’s Drug Mart but seeing as you don’t use it as a daily shampoo it’s worth the price. It’s not strongly scented which is great. If you have dry scalp problems, look into this product you’ll be glad you did.
