GARNIER BODY LOTION REVIEW

Hey everyone! Here’s a quick review on one of the lotions from Garnier’s new body lotion range! Let me know if you have tried it already and how it worked for you!ImageSo, it was on the advice of another blogger that I decided to try out the new Intensive 7 Day Body Lotion by Garnier. I chose the Dry Skin version which contains mango oil. This product promised to make my skin feel intensely hydrated within 7 days. It also promised to renew my skin’s look and feel and give it a silky nourishing texture!

If you have read my March Empties post you will know that I already use Garnier’s 7 day hand cream which I LOVE. I was however, disappointed with this body lotion. Even though I read great reviews and comments about it I was very surprised when I used it myself. My skin really wasn’t as hydrated as the product claimed it would be and I found the runny texture of the lotion quite frustrating. Although I adored the smell of the lotion at the start (because it smells similar to sun cream!) I found myself being sickened by the smell after 4 days of using it, which kind of sucked!  Overall, I wasn’t very happy with this product.

Unfortunately I won’t be buying this product again as I really don’t think it is hydrating enough for dry skin.

Has anyone else tried this product? 

 

March Empties

I know it’s a bit late to be posting about what I used up in March but due to my lack of a camera, and internet connection, it had to be late!

Dove Hair Therapy Intensive Repair Conditioner

This discovery was an absolute fluke as I only bought it for the simple fact that it was half price! Little did I know it would become my best friend. This conditioner left my hair feeling soft and shiny, to the point where I began to worry about how soft it was!! I’m so sad that it is all gone but it is definitely worth buying again.

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Solution

I loved Dove’s body lotions to begin with but when I found a lotion that both moisturises and tans, I was in my element! I use it every 2-3 days to maintain a natural tan. I would advise anyone who is using it to make sure it is 100% absorbed before putting clothes on after it.

NIVEA Daily Essentials Gentle Cleansing Lotion

This lotion is for dry and sensitive skin. It is great for making sure all of your make-up is removed without leaving your skin feeling dry.  The fact that it moisturises your skin is an added bonus too! I will be reviewing the NIVEA products in more depth shortly!

GARNIER Hand Intensive 7 Days

I really liked this cream because it is fast absorbing (so it is very practical) and it lasts a long time. Another GREAT thing about this is that it completely transforms your hands! Within less than a week your hands feel amazingly soft and hydrated, even after washing them! A must-have for people who suffer from dry hands.

Natural Beeswax Lip Care

I always, without fail, carry some sort of lip care product with me. Recently, I started using this product and I love it because it leaves your lips hydrated even after the gloss effect wears off. I have no clue where my mum got it but I  found it one day and became addicted. It does smell like honey though so if honey doesn’t take your fancy, I’d stay away!

Also, I will be uploading the NIVEA review soon, it is just taking a while to get through them all!!

Thanks for reading!
