Review : Avon Skin So Soft Winter Soft Body Butter

Hello Everyone,


As I look at the snow covered ground, I am reminded of the need to moisturize the skin. I purchased the Avon Skin So Soft Winter Soft body butter, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts.



Product Information :


Luscious 24-hour moisturization. Nourishes and softens 6.7 fl.oz.

- Scented with white jasmine & sandalwood
- With babassu oil, shea butter  & vitamin E
- Formulated to protect skin from winter's elements
- Even helps prevent the return of dry skin


Thoughts:

I find the body butter to be thick and creamy.  I noticed that if you use too much it tends to sit on your skin. I liked the scent,  I didn't smell the Jasmine as prominently as I would like, the sandalwood stands out more. Unfortunately I can't say that I noticed it preventing the return of my dry skin.
This is something I would repurchase, as the price is $3.99.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello Everyone,

Happy Valentine's day, one and all. I hope today was a  great day for everyone.

I know that everyone may have plans  this evening so I wanted to bring you a few red lipsticks that I like.  When I think Valentine's day I think bold statement lips, and what other way do you make a statement but with fire engine red .

I tried to narrow down the selections but - red has become a go to color for me so I have quite a few , I did however manage to pick 5.


They reds range from drugstore to high end .



So without further delay let us begin.


From  left to right.

MUFE Moulin Rouge, Mac Kanga-Rouge, Urban Decay F-Bomb, Avon Rich Ruby, Wet N Wild  Stoplight Red (911D)







The swatches on my arm are WNW 911 D,  Avon Rich Ruby, UD F Bomb , Mac Kanga Rouge, MUFE Moulin Rouge



MUFE Moulin Rouge

Urban Decay F-Bomb


Mac Kanga Rouge (LE)



Avon Rich Ruby



WNW Stoplight Red (911D)

I think the ones that really stood out to me were the MUFE Moulin Rouge, Avon Rich Ruby and the Wet N Wild 911D.  I did notice that the  shades all kind of looked the same after a while.

I would say go with the more inexpensive alternative. Once it's on your lips you won't really notice the difference.

Have a wonderful evening.....
