Alviana - Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetics) - Classic Feuchtigkeitspflege (Moisturiser)
This is a lip balm with organic jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil.
It doesn't contain any synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, silicones, or mineral oil-based ingredients.
The scent is faint and a mix of beeswax and shea butter.
It goes on smoothly, the product itself not too hard or too soft.
It isn't too sticky, my hair didn't get stuck in it.
After just one night of use, my lips are a lot less dry. I like it.
Price: ($2.35 for 4.5g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (faint shea butter and beeswax)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Wilde Organics - Practical X Nourishing Body Melt – Un-fragranced
This is just shea butter and coconut oil.
It makes a good cuticle balm and is good on rough skin (elbows, knees, etc).
I don't like how the website feels like it needs to appeal to each (binary) gender in a different fashion.
For the demographic they are aimed at, this seems like a poor approach (and rather disrespectful).
Overall, it's cheaper, just as effective, and less offensive to just use coconut oil from the market.
Price: 2/5 ($24.95 for 100g)
Scent: 3/5 (faint coconut)
Effectiveness: 3.5/5

Lacura - Renovage - Rejuvenating Night Cream
This is a really thick night cream that works well in colder weather, especially thanks to the shea butter.
This may be too heavy to use in summer.
The scent is quite clinical, but not overpowering.
It claims to contain apple stem cells, but I don't think this has any effect, I wasn't wowed by this product.
A little of this goes a long way.
This was a good buy from Aldi :)
Price: 3/5 ($19.99 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

The Body Shop - Spa Wisdom - Africa Ximenia & Salt Scrub
I got this after my Ex's mother said good things about it (I still miss her she was great).
It is a salt-based scrub that is lovely and fine and is easily washed off with water.
It also contains Ximenia oil, shea butter and beeswax.
It smells like a waxy shea butter and it is soooo lovely!
And the jar can be cleaned and reused... the packaging is amazing!
The only reason I don't use it constantly is the price ($37.95 for 350mL). It does last a while but I'd rather save my pennies for anti-headache Botox.
Price: 1/5 (RRP $37.95 for 350mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

L'Occitane - Shea Butter - Foot Cream
This foot cream has a property that I haven't encountered in another foot cream yet: it is oily... and I LOVE IT!
The skin on our feet doesn't produce a great deal of oil by itself, so to give it a little extra boost, an oily foot cream seems brilliant (to me, at least).
This rich formula smells beautiful with coconut, lavender, rosemary and sunflower oil and is best put on at night, with socks over it, for an easy foot treatment.
Obviously don't walk around your house with oils on your feet, or you will have a bad time.
Solution to not being able to walk:
Anyone else remember scooter boards from primary school? :p
Price: 3.5/5 (rrp $12.00 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Gardeners
***This is a new segment I am starting. It's when it is the same product as one previously reviewed, but the scent is different.***
It smells like warm, winter spices to me. Cinnamon*, nutmeg* and myrrh join macadamia oil and shea butter in this delightful hand cream.
*I decided these are in there :p
Image a pumpkin pie if you will, this smells of the spices you put in one.... so good!
It reminds me of this so much, in fact, that I think I need to send some to my friend Pumpking! (testing if you still check this)
Others need to know how good this smells!
Scent: 5/5 (duh)
