My Current Favourite Body Moisturisers

Not that we are getting particularly hot weather but the UK is still having warm days, so for some reason I tend to moisturise more the warmer it is, why I don't know! So here are my current favourites.

Vaseline Spray and Go

Vaseline spray and go is an easy go to moisturiser, it comes in three scents one being cocoa that I am currently using but am yet to try the other two. The difference this product and others that I use is that it is a spray product, so you literally spray, rub in and go a must have for busy days! The product is easy to rub in, it has a subtle scent and keeps your body hydrated, this has to be my must have moisturiser for your collection.

Victoria Secrets Coconut Passion Moisturiser

Want to smell delicious all day? Then this is for you! A thick creamy product that leaves you smelling like a tropical island! I always get compliments when I wear this product, it is so luxurious and smells amazing! The cream isn't that hard to work into the skin considering the thick consistency, it leaves you feeling super hydrated all day and a little goes a long way.

Body Shop Papaya Body Butter

As you can see this has the old Body Shop packaging, I have a few like this that I am trying to use up so I rediscovered this gem and oh my what a gem it is! Such a gorgeous refreshing fruity scent that lingers on the skin, as always the Body Shop know how to produce a moisturiser, they always get it just right. It lasts all day and night, the scent lasts all day and the product is easy to work with.

Original Source Skin Quench Moisturiser

This moisturiser has a refreshing fragrance that isn't overpowering, it is a light formula that can at times take a while to sink into the skin but it leaves the skin feeling fresh and moisturised with natural oils. It is a great throw in your bag tube to use on the go.

So these are my current favourite body moisturiser, what are yours?

Review: Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub

Body Shop, Body, Coconut, Scrub, Review, Blog, Sweet, Good, Shower, Bath,

Hello Loveys!

Its getting colder, so I feel it could be time to put the heating on! My dressing gown is ready and my snug winter slippers are on my feet. I got to say I don't like the cold weather, but I am pretty excited for Christmas this year with the family, so have started Christmas shopping, well I have nearly finished! Insane I know!

Todays post is a review of the Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub. I purchased the shea butter version a while ago and used it up pretty quickly as it was a favourite of mine, so I needed a new scrub and instead of the shea butter I decided to chose the coconut version as love the coconut body butter!

The scrub appeared to be creamy and scrumptious in the pot, but it did disappoint as it didn't smell as good as the body butter and did not make me feel like my body had been scrubbed. I used this in the shower and found you needed quite a bit to feel like your body was being exfoliated, then rinsing the scrub off was a nightmare as the coconut flakes would remain on my body! The scrub is creamy in formula and added moisture to the skin which was a good factor but overall the scrub did not do what I expected, think I will definitely return to my favourite shea butter scrub from Body Shop in the future and stick to the coconut body butter rather then the scrub version.

Have you tired this and found the same? Or do you have a different favourite scrub?

Hello everyone!! So I saw that Body Shop had a super offer of 35% off and you get a free body butter! Well hey there Body Shop here I come! I ordered the following.

For my face- Facial buffer which gently exfoliates the skin. I really need to get this into my skincare routine as dont exfoliate! Hand to face, I know its awful! To help with this tragedy I got the Vitamin C facial cleansing polish which smells amazing! Lets see how It works!

For my body- I havent exfoliated my body for a while now, dreadful I know! So decided on this Shea Butter Body Scrub! Lets get scrubbing! Then the free body butter, I always get the coconut but decided to try something new so opted for the papaya! And boy am I pleased! It smells amazing!!!
