The good stuff:
- Inexpensive
- Lots of product
- A little goes a long way
- Leaves skin smooth and soft
The low-down:
- I don't care for the smell
- Twist cap
My take: I tried this on my face once, and while it does make my skin nice and soft and smooth, I really don't care for the smell -- it kinda reminds me of coconut, and I don't like coconut. So instead, I've been using it as a body scrub. It still does leave my skin nice and smooth and soft. I also don't care for products that you have to twist the cap off... I'd much prefer a flip-cap top. So the cap collects water. No biggie though.
Would I repurchase: Not likely.
Scrubs just make me so happy because of the texture and I really like it. ^___^ Twist caps...yeah, I lose those too. D: Or I screw them off in the morning and can't find them without my glasses since I basically can only see color without them...package package...when are they all going to improve? >___< Oh, and sometimes I forget to screw things back on and they might dry up. ):
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for the review! :D
I hear decent stuff about QUeen Helene products. Their kinda like ELF to me, hits & misses depending on the person! LOL! You make it sound pretty darn good though!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll like the coconut smell either! & I totally agree with twist caps.. I think it's gross when water collects in it haha
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you posted the same thing twice.. and then I realized that it was different products, LOL stupid me XD
ReplyDeleteHow can you not love coconut? I love coconut =P
How would you compare this to St. Ives apricot scrub? I'm looking for an inexpensive scrub but I don't like St. Ives because its so abrasive...
