Alterra - Körperöl Bio-Pfingstrose & Bio-Mandel (Body Oil Organic Peony & Organic Almond) - Harmonie & Entspannung (Harmony & Relaxation)



This is a vegan, natural body oil with peony and almond.

It absorbs really well and smells very nice, the almond and floral notes of peony almost combine to smell a little like pomegranate. 

The price was very reasonable, especially for a natural cosmetic.

Price: 5/5 ($6.52 for 100mL)
Scent: 4/5 (I would have preferred more floral and less almond)
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Almond Nail & Cuticle Oil



So after a run in with onycholysis (possibly due to the Revitanail keratin strengthening serum, because I did not have onycholysis prior), I tried using the almond nail and cuticle oil from the Body Shop.

The packaging is terrific. It doesn't leak at all. The brush for applying the oil is soft and applies the oil evenly. The massager is firm enough if you wanted to use it to push back your cuticles (which I would NOT recommend).

It smells really nice and appears to absorb well.

So here are the before and after photos of one month of use (applied 1-2 daily):

After

Verdict: No more hang nails and the onycholysis is going :)

Price: 3/5 (RRP $10.95 for 1.8mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
