Top Mommy Blogger Philippines ~ A blog about everyday mommy issues, parenting, marriage, kids, a little bit of travel, and beauty — basically all about me and my family.
I discovered this Melon Malibu Muffin Body Lotion and Body Mist while I was sitting at one of the sofas with foam cushions at Bench. I love lotions and colognes that smell like fruits specially citrusy ones.I also love those with refreshing smells like melons and cucumbers.
This Melon Malibu Muffin is great for layering light fragrance for everyday use. I think Bench also has other fragrances in this line of products like Strawberry and Coffee.
The other day, while I was busy with my laptop in bed, sis threw a small yellow box that contains this two small bottles. I’m guessing this was a gift to her and something she didn’t like the smell of. That’s what happens when she doesn’t want the smell of something, she gives it to me.
Of course, new things are always welcome because I always like trying out something new. This comes from The Body Shop’s Moringa Line of products. A small (60mL) bottle of Moringa Milk Body Lotion and a small (60mL) bottle of Moringa Shower Gel.
According to The Body Shop website:
Honestly, I’ve never smelled Moringa flowers before so I won’t know if the smell of this is accurate but it gives off a really clean,mild floral scent.
The Moringa Shower Gel is soap-free and is said to contain real moringa seed oil. It is also lather-rich, which is pretty much how I like my shower-gel to be. I get very relaxed when I see bubbles….
While I’m not so fond with milk lotions, I still used and tried The Moringa Milk Body Lotion. It has a thin consistency just like any other milk lotions. It does hydrate the skin and leave it feeling smooth and soft but it is a bit runny so I still prefer thicker lotions.The good thing about it is only a small quantity is needed to cover the arms or legs.
Packaging: Both products comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a flip cap. The entire cap can even be screwed open. The flip cap shuts tight so it is quite a travel friendly packaging. Also the transparent bottle helps in finding out how much is left.
I don’t think it’s my favorite among The Body Shop’s line of fragrance but I’m still glad I tried it.
I probably shouldn’t be broadcasting this but I have cracked heels. Some people say that it’s from wearing too much flipflops and slippers. Well, what can I say? My feet are claustrophobic, they don’t like closed spaces.
I think I’ve tried almost everything to smoothen out my leveling feet. I tried having foot spa after foot spa. I tried putting lotions at night. I tried petroleum jelly and socks. Nothing worked. I’m now trying out Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion. I’ll put it on my feet day and night. Let’s see if this will work.
According to Cetaphil:
This is clinically proven to protect dry skin for 24 hours. Designed with a unique combination of five key ingredients, Cetaphil® DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion® is clinically proven to hydrate for 24 hours.
