I was browsing a different  +Target  in town  looking through their selection of Pacifica when a rainbow caught my eye. That rainbow turned out to be the Body Oil Starter Set  by  + Weleda . For $14.99 I have the opportunity to try the complete body oil collection through these  .34 ounces  deluxe samples sized glass vials. Formulated with a variety of different oils and essential blends, these six products are quite different from one another, not only in scent but in weight and viscosity .

Teadora Drench Yourself in Sensory Beauty with these Rainforest Remedies. In Portuguese, Teadora means Adore You and they show their love through decadent fragrances and textures designed to immerse your senses in rainforest moments. Made in the USA and 100% vegan , these cruelty free luxury body care products are also free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, silicon, gluten and phalates. Today I present Rainforest At Dawn , a vibrant and lively blended woodsy floral. This is a mellow yet apparent scent which gently dissipates over time. My boyfriend likes it too, so it's safe to say this is a unisex collection.

Blended with  real, organic bananas for moisture, vanilla pods and vanilla extract to combat redness, lemon oil to brighten, and sandalwood to tone,  Sympathy for the Skin  is a very mellow and creamy hand and body lotion .  Don't worry this isn't a fruit salad,  it is very mild in scent. I detect more vanilla bean than banana. The custard consistency is creamier than Dream Cream yet it sinks in just as quickly. I love how it makes my shoulders and arms feel, highly moisturizing yet never greasy.

For all skin types, the Suki Body Sensitive Cleansing Bar with oat flour and fair trade Shea butter both softens and moisturizes your body skin. This heavy, hard-milled bar does not strip my skin or leave a film behind. The  Sensitive Cleansing Bar  smells of lemongrass, it's the same scent you're familiar with if you used their foaming exfoliating cleanser. Retailing for $11.99 at Pharmaca , the Suki body bar was a SELF Magazine 2013 H ealthy Beauty award winner and I see why; my skin feels clean and comfortable. If you like Suki Skincare you're going to love this body bar, I highly recommend it. I will purchase it again and I rate it 4 solid stars out of 5. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

From my iFabbo shop, this body butter is made from the honey of African Black Bees and blended with Royal Jelly. Unscrew the plastic tub and you will discover a luxurious white cream . Imperial Honey Body Butter is very moisturizing - perfect for these winter months - yet it does not leave a greasy residue on my skin. It has a soft, almost powdery feeling once it dries down. Imperial Honey Body Butter by Perlier keeps my very dry body skin moist and comfortable for several hours so I only have to apply it out of the shower. Since I wash my hands several times a day I find it most comfortable to reapply this butter after each washing. I will note to not over-apply, it can 'ball up' a bit.

Intensely clean, smooth and renew! Suspended within this creamy, conditioning cleanser is gentle Walnut Shell Powder, making it perfect for all-over skin smoothing without scratching or drying skin. Ideal for delicately resurfacing and restoring radiance, and amazing on rough elbows and knees that need a little tough love! This is a creamy scrub, almost gel-like in consistency. Personally, I prefer a scrub that's just a scrub, not a cleanser too. It's true, this scrub never felt as though it was scratching my skin as it removed dry and dead skin cells. My moisturizing oils sank in quickly since there wasn't a barrier in the way. This scrub offers a light nutty scent which does not linger on my skin.

I learned of Olive Natural Beauty through B eautyA RMY, they are sampling the Lemon & Lavender soap which smells simply divine. Before I started using my sample , I went ahead and ordered Oats & Honey , I couldn't go wr o ng with all the feedback coming in on BeautyARMY's site! My purchase is 2 fold: I needed to spend $10 to reach free shipping on BeautyARMY.com and I have very dry body skin. That's relevant be cause I am about to go a round of AmLactin , an exfoliating bod y lotion, to prep my legs for short wearing season. I need a s oap whose ingredients will not dry my skin making the AmLactin work harder. The Olive Natural Beauty Bar is made from a blend of Distilled water and hand-blended organic oils , including organic extra virgin olive oil, which provides linoleic and oleic acids. These acids help keep skin firm, glowing and soft .

I love dry oil. It is my favourite product to use to moisturize my body skin. I have always felt that lotions and creams just sit there never fully sinking in which makes me feel greasy, even dirty, like I need to shower. Of course that has much to do with the ingredients of the product, but heavy feeling all the same. When I made my very first Shea Terra Organics haul, I grabbed a bottle of Marula Shea Body Nectar Spray Oil .  Made from cold pressed marula oil, one of the most anti-oxidant rich oils in the world, it smells like warm almond cookies. But not in a youth-fragrance kind of way. This is mature and sexy. The interesting thing about this scent is, it dissipates quickly so I can wear my normal perfume, as usual.  Created with pure fractionated oil of the shea butter fruit, it is a moderately heavy weighted product that does not quickly run making it easy to use. I will say the spray bottle sprays with force in more of a stream pattern than a misting spray. I find...

Rhubarb is the star ingredient in this rich shower-time treat. Traditionally used in ancient Chinese herbal remedies, the plant has long been known for its restorative properties. It draws toxins out from the skin, promoting radiance and suppleness. Your skin will be noticeably smoother post-shower . Spicy. Masculine. Sexy. Exotic. These are the things I think of every time I unscrew the lid revealing the secret to this mystical Tibetan shower cream . I can't get enough of it, the scent is amazing. So sensual. From Italy, I was impressed with this product from start to finish. I love the aluminum can, the corrugated paper wrapper and most importantly, the product. When I first read the label and saw R hubarb, I was perplexed. What does that smell like? Imagining this plethora of sweet, tart fruit, I am so glad that I was wrong. A moderate weight, milky white cleanser, this shower cream provides a nice lather and performs effectively. It leaves my skin super soft and mak...

I like the philosophy behind this product a little more then the product its self. Like all 100% pure products, the smell is intoxicating - you do want to eat it - a mix of chocolate and coffee grounds. The scrubbing particles are good and robust and do not dissolve once they hit your moist skin. The downside is, it does leave a brown residue on my skin, so I have to scrub first and wash second. Also, I have to spend a fair amount of time cleaning my shower... The shea butter mixes with the dirt and soap on your shower floor making it super slippery if you're not careful. I have purchased it twice, once to try and the second time they were sold out of my Strawberry Lemonade, but i wouldn't go out of my way to buy it as a staple.  Probably my least favourite of 100% Pure's scrub collection, I rate this 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Your body deserves this! I received this as a deluxe sample from drugstore.com as a GWP. So yum! Let me start off by saying that I do not like the scent of vanilla. I always find it to be cheap and artificial smelling; so I contemplated giving this scrub away as a Christmas present. lol. So glad that I ran out of my 'usual' scrub and opened it - as if it were for emergency use! The vanilla is authentic, there are bits of vanilla bean seeds mixed in to the scrubbing particles. It mellows the acidity of the bergamot and makes me think of a spring buttercream frosting. The scent is smooth, not overpowering. I'm generally afraid of shea butter because it usually ends up becoming paste on the bottom of my shower, yet this does not. I'm also not over oiled, my skin has a 'just right' silkiness and I am able to use it on my pits then follow with deodorant and the deo will dry. This scrub keeps my skin smooth and ingrowns at bay by removing dry a...

LA Fresh, a BeautyARMY Brand Partner, was offering an incentive to sign up on their emailing list: Score a free pack of Instant Body Soother wipes. After LA Fresh tweaked their website to offer discounted shipping on the free wipes, I ended up paying a total of $1.26, delivered. How? I added the $9.99 wipes to may cart and used the special code given to me for registering, which was valued at $13.98. The excess discount was applied to the $5.95 shipping fee = $1.26. The marketing ploy worked - I will buy another set!

The very first thing I notice is, how thick these cream is yay and how much is smells like Sicilian Blood Orange.   Its a super sexy scent that reminds me of the vacation the BF and I took; the provided toiletries in our hotel were of the same aroma.   Alcohol is the third ingredient and it's presence is noticeable, first by smell and then by evaporation.  I feel heavy moisture with no grease. It has almost a powdery feeling. "Sun-soaked organic sea buckthorn oil is packed with essential fatty acids that lavishly moisturize. Pro-vitamin A and vitamin E, which smooth, soften and strengthen skin and antioxidant-rich organic sesame seed oil. With a citrusy fragrance from sun-drenched essential oils of mandarins, oranges and grapefruits." I can't stop smelling my hands and now I wish I would have been able to purchase more than one! Retailing for $11.00 I scored this 1.7floz tube at CVS on clearance for $5.49! The 100% recyclable aluminum vessel with the screw...

I was the lucky recipient of a Gud Klout Perk which included the Natural Body Wash in Floral Cherrynova.  Described as the scent of soft cherry blossoms and almond milk , I find this to not only be softer smelling but less artificial than Bath & Body Works Cherry Blossom.  But that's the point, right?!  I am also happy to report Gud is Paraben, Phthalates and Petrochemical FREE!!!  Plus NO animal testing! YAY! Clear in colour, I found this shower gel to be very moisturizing thanks to the inclusion of chamomile.  It rinsed off completely and the scent did not linger strongly on my skin afterward, allowing me to apply my perfume as usual and without fear of smelling like a fruit stand. The white plastic vessel is constructed of 25% post-consumer recycled plastic and contains 10 fluid ounces of product.  It is about 6.5" tall and 2.25" at it widest point and features a pink pop-top style cap, to match the cherry blossom artwork on the label which ...

This is one of those products I wish I never purchased.  But I still would have been screwed because I selected a deluxe sample size in my Beauty Army Kit, so the high probability of a  reorder would have been inevitable either way.  I am so in love with Indie Lee's The Body Scrub , I am already half way through it and I am getting ready to buy a second one. Not for the faintest of hearts... this scrub features a rough cane sugar texture so if you are very sensitive, you might not like the feel of this at first; it could feel as though it is scratching you.  But once you get past that initial ouchie phase and the sugar starts to melt a little, it becomes extremely pleasant.
