I love that this comes in a pump, and the scent is nice. A scent that reminds me of summer and beaches. The lotion itself has a nice consistency, but it seems a bit watery. I don't really like the moisturizing effect of this, somehow it's not moisturizing enough but still feels a bit sticky on the skin. it's annoyingly hard to get out the last bits of the lotion, so the packaging could have been a little bit better.
I love this lotion! It absorbs beautifully, and being an acne prone individual, I've had no issues with arm breakouts - which can happen to me quite frequently with lotions.
The scent is fantastic. Very clean, almost like a luxury type soap. I've been searching for a scent that was not too overpowering, but very clean so I can layer with my sweeter vanilla scent and this is it!
This is my current HG moisturiser! :*:*
Pros:
- it has thick and whipped texture that leaves your arms and feet soft and velvety smooth for more than 3 hours (i use it everyday to school)
- it has a mysterious scent, between nutty and perfumey scents, that suits both men and women.Personally, i adore these type of scents :-) and the staying power is amazing though.
- the packaging comes in pump :D
- very economical in use, i have been using this for 4 months and it can last until the next 3 months :-)
Cons:
-the price may be expensive, but it worths.
- i hate how the lotion dries in the edge of the pump, so when you dispense some lotion to your hands, you will get some disgusting dried lotion, and the same thing also happens to the sweet lemon and mango whip :-(
-contains parabens and fragrance, duh!
I have never praised a lotion before, but i just wanted to share how wonderful this stuff works!
I just got this a few days ago on a whim, because I had a gift card at TBS and didn't know what to get - but I am so positively surprised! I've used it as a hand lotion, and it works amazingly well for my super dry hands! Only one other product has ever worked this good on my hands before.
It is very easy to use because of the pump bottle, it sinks in really fast and doesn't leave a greasy surface, and it smells fantastic! Only downside is the high price, but it's worth it.
Edit: I'm knocking off one point due to the unnatural ingredients list. Five different parabens!
Just bought this lotion a few weeks ago, and i loooooooove the scent so much.The scent lasts for 5 hours or maybe more. And it mosturises well, but not as greasy as the body butter. Love this product!
My HG body lotion! I use this since the Shea Body Butter is a little on the heavy side to use every day. It gives enough moisture, it smells good (but not overpowering), and it sinks in great. The only downside is the bottle, which works great until you are almost finished with it. I can't get the last bit out, and that is plaguing my frugal soul.
Great moisturizer, and I really love the scent. The shea body butter is a little too heavy for my skin, so the lotion is perfect. It makes an excellent hand lotion as well!
Easily absorbed, super rich all-over moisture made with Community Trade babassu oil and Commnity Trade shea butter. Soaked into my skin quickly, no greasy residue. Does have a slight masculine smell, not enough to prevent me from purchasing it again. Not a huge fan of the smell, just like how throughly it absorbs. Comes in an 8.4oz pump, that's always nice and sanitary as well as helping in prevent too much waste. If the smell was better, I'd give it 5 lippies for sure!!!
Discovered this lotion when house-sitting for a family of three. It's in their guest bathroom. I really liked the smell and it moisturizes well, so I got one of my own. It's both sweet and a little masculine, but not too masculine. Will purchase again.
It's a shame that this lotion smells so strong and masculine or it would be my HG lotion. Everything else about it is perfect: it's very moisturizing without being greasy, it has a great thick and smooth texture that absorbs easily. It makes skin extremely smooth and soft.Even the packaging is great, I love pump bottles. So it comes down to the scent: it is strong, and like men's cologne to my nose. I had the same complaint with the Mango whip lotion: great lotion, too strong fruity scent. I wish TBS could come up with a neutral everyday scent, in the same lotion texture.
