If you like the scent of mangoes, you are going to love this one. Not only does this body lotion contain mango extract for dry skin, it smells like a mango lassi. Its all I can do to not ladle spoonfuls of it into my mouth đ
The Garnier Body NutriRepair Repairing Milk Lotion has been around in the market for a few months at least now. I was using the small bottle to try to cure my dry skin problem. I have a story to tell about my dry skin woes but thatâll be the subject matter of another day because its just too depressing heading into the weekend đ
Whilst this milk lotion did not cure the problem, it felt quite nice for the body.
Because mine is the small 120ml version, I keep it in the living room so I will remember to apply lotion while watching telly. My previous experience with mango scented body lotions were body butters which are really way too heavy and oily for our hot humid weather. It made me feel ill.
This one on the other hand, as a very light mango scent that isnât cloying, as I have noted and is quite nice. I wouldnât keep it on my bedside table because I donât like smelling like a fruit when I go to sleep. So thankfully the smell dissipates đ
It absorbs quite quickly into my skin without leaving it feeling oily and sticky which is another plus. And it did work to soften the drier areas of my body like the elbows and knees.
Pros: Light texture, Absorbs quickly, Not oily or sticky on the skin, Inexpensive
Cons: Mango scent might be too sweet for some
I canât really complain for the price youâd pay for this little fella. All of RM9.90 and they probably go on sale often too. Now all those companies who think that products with a âtropical scentâ should smell like coconut, take a leaf from Garnier and make them smell like mangoes instead. THAT is the smell of a warm tropical day đ
Have you tried this? Do you like tropical scented products? Many of them tend to veer towards either mangoes, coconut or passion fruit for anything âtropicalâ. I stay far far away from anything with coconut but Iâm quite partial towards mangoes and passion fruit. I love eating them too! đ

i donât think i have anything that smells of coconut though⌠mangoes does sounds yummy and does smells yummy! đ
Mangoes are yummy! Chilled mangoes are super yummy.
i love chilled mangoes too!
anyway i just found 2 new HG products! the new Bio-essence Birdâs Nest cleansing foam, and this sunblock i bought from Watsonâs called Sunkiller Baby Milk Kiss Me. Spf 38++ and amazing! i bot it cos it said it doesnt irritate and has been tested on babies, and my skin lurves it!!! doesnt leave a white cast and adds a glow! and the best part is, it costs RM27 bucks for 30ml!
sunkiller clogged my pores very bad âŚeven though itâs very effective in sun protecting.
oh no, really? =( i used the babymilk one tho. anyway iâm the weird one out, i know sunkiller has TONS of silicone, infact almost every other ingredients seems to be methicone, thicone thicone and so on. but my face lurves silicones, so itâs fine with it. lol.
I used to read about Sunkiller sunscreen but Iâd never tried it! I saw it in Watsonâs too but didnât get it coz I was afraid it might have that papery feel many of these sunscreens do. Glad to know it works for you! I might give it a go one day đ BTW That Birdâs Nest cleansing foam is intriguing!
