Morocco Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub by bodyshop

Saw "Morocco Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub" on the website the other day and I thought that I'd say a word or two about this product.

In case you wonder, yours cheapskate didn't purchase it at the full price of 28 dollars a piece.  Rather, I think I must have gotten it when Bodyshop had one of its 3 for 30 kinda discount when the product first came out last summer.

A jar later, one thing I can tell you is that it does leave the body nice and smooth afterwards.

In addition, it also make me feel all energized after shower... As a result, personally, I refrain myself from using it before bedtime...  The effect of Argan oil, perhaps?

The matter of the fact... if there's another chance for me to get it at a price around 10 a piece, I totally would get it again.... Keep my fingers crossed...

The lips of mine

Having been a chimney for almost 15 or 20 years... my dear lips are definitely not in a really good shape...  As a result, I think any product that could help to rescue my lips could be accounted for as good product.

So I woke up last Sunday... I think... deciding to go look for products that exfoliate lips... 8-O

So as I was taking my daily walk, I stopped by stores selling beauty products....

I did find some relevant products that day at the Sephora store and tried them out as well...

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15: With this product, you don't feel anything being "exfoliated" at all.  Rather, in theory, if I remember correctly, it works by nourishing the generation of new cells and softening the dead cells so that it would be easier to get rid of the dead cells.  I like it, though, it makes your lips feel nice right after the application.  The nice lady I spoke with gave me the lip gross to test out... gotta say... make me feel nice... psychological only or not....

For the time being, if I were to settle for one product... this might be the one...

Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub:  This exfoliator is sugar-based... sort of like... you rub sugar-based ingredients on your lips kind of experience.... and, well, it tastes pretty good... 8-O lol It does feel like it works pretty well after the trial run.

Apparently, Clarins also has a product called Clarins Extra-Firming Lip and Contour Gentle Exfoliator.  I only had the chance to try it on my hand but not on my lips, though... therefore, can't quite tell you how well it works for me.

One thing interesting I learned so far... a lot of these exfoliating products are sugar-based.... Never knew that sugar could be used for cosmetic purposes.... pretty ignorant, I know.... 8-O lol

Still search for that one for me.... so many lip exfoliators in the sea.... how many are available for a trial kiss? 8-O lol

Body exfoliation

The concept of body exfoliation never really came to my mind until 2-3 months ago... around the same time when I all of a sudden started to pay attention to skin care for the body.

The only body exfoliators I have used so far are both products of St. Ives.

More specifically, the Oatmeal and Shea Butter was the first one I used.  I loved it because it... smells like cookies.... and... I would also smell like cookies after shower... 8-O lol

The current product I am using is "Mineral Therapy" body polish. Got it on discount from Walgreen for 5 dollars plus changes.... The last place I found St. Ives body polish on discount is at Walgreen yesterday... 5 dollar something for a jar of Mineral Therapy body polish...

Does it work for me?  I guess... the skin does feel softer afterwards.... psychological or not....

Waiting for some other products to go on discount to test them out... 8-O lol

Beauty is but skin deep

They say beauty is but skin deep. 

This is why nowadays I am trying out all different kinds of exfoliator from head to toe...

Since beauty is but skin deep... let me get rid of my dead skin...
