Burt's Bees - Baby - Nourishing Lotion

This is a really nice, rich lotion with a lovely scent (like baby powder meets dark honey).
It is made of 98.9% natural ingredients and unlike so many of Burt's Bees other products, this doesn't have a problem with the formula separating.
It is non-irritating and I really like this lotion.

Price: 1/5 ($11.93 for 170mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Occitane - Arlésienne Hand Cream

This is a hand cream with the floral scent of the L'Occitane perfume Arlésienne.
So immediately we can say it smells lovely.

The name comes from the play 'L'Arlésienne' which is set in Provence, France.
This location connects to the L'Occitane brand.

The cream itself is rich and moisturising.

While it does absorb to an extent, it does leave a little bit of a residue on the hands, but I like that personally.

It's a shame that I don't think they sell this any more.

Price: 2/5 ($14 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Lacura - Luxury Body Butter - Orange Blossom

This smells soooo nice!
Like a buttery, sweet orange scent.

It was also super thick!
It absorbs well, is really moisturising, and non-irritating for sensitive skin.

Price: 5/5 (~$5 for 200mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue

This is sold for feet, but I used it all over XP

It smells like a sweet peppermint, such a delicious scent! I love it!

It does have a cooling effect, common for menthol-containing product.
I kind of regret using it in winter, but it was nothing a fluffy robe couldn't fix.

And I have the fluffiest of robes!

It is a rich body butter with a cute pink hue. 
It absorbs well and (as mentioned before) it smells amazing.

I liked it so much that I got some for sister unit 1 for her birthday (she loves peppermint)

Price: 2/5 ($18.95 for 100mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent - The Body Shop - Body Butter - Shea

This was rich, absorbed well, and didn't have a overpowering scent (which is good because I don't like the way shea butter smells).

9/10 would use again

Same Product, Different Scent - The Body Shop - Body Butter - British Rose

This came to Germany with me <3 and I was glad to have it travel with me.

The formula is thick, absorbs well, and smells amazing!

It also has a slight, iridescent shimmer (which may or may not make you feel like a nymph)

...ok, it makes me feel like a nymph.

The Body Shop - Spa Wisdom Polynesia - Monoi Body Balm

I got this on a whim a while back.

A nice rich formula that absorbs well.

I just don't like the smell :( 
It's a buttery white floral scent (frangipani and Monoi de Tahiti), which I personally hate.
But perhaps you will like it.

Price: 2.5/5 (can't find the price)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: The Body Shop - Honeymania Body Butter

This was nice and thick, and absorbed quickly.

It smells like a mixture of honey and beeswax. It isn't overly sweet like you may think it might be.

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Pear and Pink Magnolia

It's sweet, fruity, floral, and a perfect summer scent! Loved this!
And the formula is still as rich as any other scent in this range.

Same Product, Different Scent: The Body Shop - Fuji Green Tea Body Butter

This one is nice and thick, a great formula.

The scent is fresh and I would almost call it a mix of black pepper and aloe vera, it doesn't smell like green tea to me. But it's pleasant anyway.

L'Occitane - Créme Perfectrice - A L'Extrait De Pivoine

Oh, why do you cost so much!? I love you so much!

I purchased this back when I was feeling down and didn't regret it at all!

First, the packaging is gorgeous. Pink and silver, the glass jar would look at home on a old Hollywood vanity.

The cream smells of peony, which is delightful. It is rich, absorbs quickly, and has the faintest pink tint (can you tell I love pink?)
It leaves skin feeling moisturised, dewy, and not suffocated. 

I love this so much! If I were rich I would use it every day.

If I were a rich man...

Price: 1/5 ($65 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Lacura - Skin Science - Cuvée Royal - Neck & Decollete Mousse

Yes, it is an Aldi product! 

First, it come in a sleek container, packaging which I not only cannot fault but also love!

Look at this sleekness!

Second, it smells pleasant and mild. The texture is a rich mousse and a little goes a long way.

Third, I love the idea of taking better care of your neck. It sees just as much of the elements as your face but is often forgotten.

Price: 3.5/5 ($24.99 for 50mL)
Scent: 3.5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula

I love how this smells! Cocoa butter smells really good to me.

I also appreciate how rich the formula is, but it doesn't just sit on the top of your skin, it soaks in well.

I can't really fault this product.

Price: 4/5 (RRP $9.99 for 400mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Smoky Poppy - Body Butter

I love the body butters from The Body Shop... but this scent is the business!
It smells SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!

This was a limited edition scent (I think for Valentine's day) and is so sensual!
To me, I detect notes of incense and red flowers.
As far as formula, it contains shea butter, soybean oil, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, brazil nut oil and poppy flower extract.

I loved this so much, I went out and bought two more containers the day after the first one!

The usual Body Shop body butter rules apply as well; rich, thick, soaks in well, leaves your skin feeling great.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $23.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Body Butter - Wild Argan Oil

This rich body butter sinks in nicely and won't upset sensitive skin. The scent (this one being argan oil) is transferred well, but isn't overpowering.

I don't really know what else to say, I just really like this body butter.

I guess just be warned that some of these can be quite thick, it varies by what scent you get.

eg- thick butters: argan, poppy

      thinner butters: satsuma

Price: 3/5 (rrp $23.95 for 200mL)

Scent: 4/5 (Argan oil is a dividing scent)

Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Occitane En Provence - Precious Night Cream

This night cream (from my favourite store that I shouldn't let myself go into, of course) is lovely and rich, making it a nice night time treatment.

I don't like the scent of this one as much as the L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream, it smells like hay/oats to me... but it does feel lovely on.

My advice would be to skip this and go for the divine cream, if you find yourself faced with the choice between the two.

Price: 1/5 (rrp $98.00 for 50mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 4/5
