St. Ives Body Wash: Pick from an Energizing Citrus lift, Oatmeal & Shea Butter comfort or indulging in Mineral Therapy

August 17, 2012 Paris B 23 Comments

I remember St. Ives – hands up if you don’t 😉

In fact, its quite silly to say “I remember” because they’re still around but I just stopped paying attention to them. I used to be a great fan of their medicated face scrub. It was the first time I’d learnt about salicylic acid and the wonders it did for my skin, helping clear up spots while keeping skin smooth. I never really used their body stuff though. Or maybe I did but it didn’t stick around in my memory.

Recently, it was brought to my attention that St. Ives has launched some new products in the past year, amongst which we find a bunch of new body washes. Hurrah! I love body washes! I go through them quite easily so I always have a good stock of them around.

The 3 new ones are Mineral Therapy, Energizing Citrus and Oatmeal & Shea Butter. Have you noticed them in stores or used them before?

Bathing Beauty: The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is my luxury shower treat!

May 11, 2012 Paris B 64 Comments

The L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is, I believe, one of the hidden gems in the brand. Ok, maybe not so hidden because I know of many who are great fans of it. Its been around a while, and I’d heard a lot about it, but it was only relatively recently that I actually tried it.

I picked up a bottle when I walked past a booth last Christmas (Goodness! Has it been that long?!) and I love it! This is what I keep as my luxury shower treat (because its so pricey I nearly fainted handing over money at the cashier 😛 ). Its really a fascinating product and by now, you should be familiar with my penchant for oils – body oils, face oils… and now shower oil! 😀

Worth A Revisit : Eucerin Sensitive Skin PH5 Wash Lotion For Body And Face

October 6, 2011 Paris B 39 Comments

Some things just don’t seem to need reviewing or writing about, but they are probably the items we use the most often and use UP the most often too. In my case, let me introduce you to the Eucerin Sensitive Skin PH5 Wash Lotion, a face and body wash for sensitive skin. I wrote about this way back in 2007 and although the name has changed a little, here it is again nearly 5 years later! A product with lasting power for this fickle minded female! 😀

I don’t have sensitive skin as a rule, but I started using this one a few years back after being introduced to it, and because I saw it on sale at Guardian. Any resolve I have is always weakened by a pharmacy sale 😛 I like to buy the 1000ml bottles when they are on sale, that come free with the smaller bottles of the same wash lotion. I use these everyday anyway, so any saving is always a good thing.

You might be wondering though, why I use this so often, although I love switching body washes? If you look at my shower caddy, its PACKED with hair, body and face washes but I always come back to this one.

Tony Moly Mother Nature Body Wash in Oriental Herbs : Not your everyday shower gel infusion

August 4, 2011 Paris B 12 Comments

Rarely do I want to exit my shower smelling like I just fell into a vat of Chinese dried herbs. In fact, those familiar will understand when I say, smelling like I just showered in bak kut teh – a Malaysian herbal pork rib soup.

But that was the conclusion I reached when I used this body wash from Tony Moly – a Korean cosmetics brand. I picked this one up in Seoul simply because I’d never seen a shower gel infused with herbs before this. I kid you not. They actually have dried herbs in the bottle! Check out the pictures below if you don’t believe me 🙂
