Love, Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Minola Flower Shampoo & Conditioner



I have tried Love, Beauty and Planet shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so I quickly fell in love with the brand and loved using their products. Though once again the addition of coconut made me a bit hesitant to try out this particular shampoo and conditioner; but when Facebook offered a free sample, I decided that I didn't have anything to lose. I really need to learn to stop second-guessing myself.
I was surprised that instead of one-use foil packets that I was sent a travel size of both products. Because honestly, I can see why companies do that when they offer sample sizes but I'm personally not a fan of the foil packets of products. Anyway, I was able to use both samples in about a few hair-washes and once again I have two new favorite products to add to ever growing list of products.
My hair felt hydrated, bouncy and felt lively again. In the summer, this is hard for me to achieve because my hair despises the humidity with a fiery passion; so finding products that work well enough to tame my frizz is a feat to say the least. But this shampoo and conditioner did not disappoint in the least, which made me all the more excited to use it.
The scent was strong but not overly there and it did linger in my hair for several hours later in a subtle way. So that made me glad that the scent wasn't overpowering in the slightest and was just there in a way that a cool breeze would be coming off the ocean. Honestly, it made me want to go the beach every time I used it. But I can see myself using this scent mostly in the summer and maybe a few times during the winter when the cold is nipping at my nose.

Nature Box Body Wash



I forget which site that I got this travel size Nature Box Body Wash from, I have several freebie sites that I am a member of and I do a ton of different offers through Facebook, etc. So trying to remember where I got this from is a rather taxing ordeal. But one thing I do know is that this body wash smells amazing!
Personally, I have never used a cold pressed oil body wash and now I'm asking myself why I haven't. Like most natural body washes, a little goes a long way and I was able to use this travel size for about 5 days before I ran out. And I already miss it!
The scent is so clean and amazing; not overpowering whatsoever. It reminds me of going to the beach and just spending all day there just relaxing. I have noticed that something that is supposed to smell like coconut can have two different scents: coconut or sunscreen. I am not a fan of the scent of sunscreen, so I usually avoid products that are scented in coconut. But this was not the case with this body wash as it seems like Nature Box has managed to figure out a formula that works perfectly with the scent of coconut.
The scent lasted most of the day, which I was pleasantly surprised about but not unhappy with in the least. I was also treated with several comments about how my skin seems to have a beachy glow to it so that has also been a plus for sure.  
I'm not sure what other scents that Nature Box makes but just by trying this one, I already have plans on trying out the different ones that they have to offer.

Product Review - Olay Ultra Moisture Coconut Body Wash


Image Source: Google
Today I am going to be reviewing the Olay Ultra Moisture Coconut Body Wash. I received this product as a late Christmas present and I have just now gotten around to trying it.

I'll be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of coconut at all. I don't know what it is about it but the smell to me is less appealing than the taste for one reason or another. So I was a bit iffy about trying this product out because I didn't want to be surrounded by a powerful coconut scent.

However, I was pleasantly surprised that it barely smelled like coconut at all. To me it mostly smells like just a natural clean scent that doesn't overwhelm the senses but also a scent that lingers throughout the day after using it.

I loved how it made my skin feel soft and smooth after just one wash. The back of the bottle said that this would be the effect but like with everything else I didn't really believe what it said; due to previous products promising similar things. But with Olay I should have known better because Olay is one product line that has always delivered their promises time after time.

I also like that it's not overly moisturizing to the point that my skin feels greasy as it tends to be after using other products. Instead, my skin feels soft and smooth. I cannot wait to finish this entire bottle to see the result on my skin. The bottle itself is huge and there is a lot of product in the bottle. And as with any Olay product a little goes a long way so this product will last you a good bit. Speaking for myself, I've been using it for a good two weeks and I've barley reached halfway; and I take a shower daily so that should give an example on how much product there is.

Also since I tend to have sensitive skin, I have to be careful with products I use on it and this body wash isn't harsh at all nor does it break me out so in my opinion it is great for sensitive skin. But please be sure to check out the ingredient list to make sure that it will work well with your skin.

Well that's it for this review!

Until Next Time!
