I’ve been using Suave’s Cocoa Butter Moisturizer since high-school. I’ve always loved the scent and used it religiously because it is also made with Shea butter (which is supposed to be the best thing when keeping skin moisturized). I’ve always received several comments when I wear it. The teture isn’t too thick and too thin, it keeps skin moisturized and it doesn’t cost that much, its about 5 to 7 dollars depending on where you go. I definitely recommend to buy it.

P.S. This have nothing to do with Shea Butter unless she recieved it as a gift at her baby shower. Jennifer Lopez has gave birth to twins, one boy and one girl. Its great to see that a woman can have a career, and still have time later on to start a family. Comgratulations to her and Marc Anthony!!!!

Now that the weather is getting warmer everyday, showing a little skin is becoming more mandatory. And although putting on lotion sometimes may feel hot and sticky in this humid weather, these two lotions are good enough to scacrifice that sticky feeling. Jergens Soft Shimmer Lotion , www.jergens.com, is a lotion that gives some gold sparkles to the skin while still fulfilling its purpose in mosturizing. While Nivea’s Silky Shimmer Lotion (www.nivea.com) leaves your skin filled with gold sparkles and comes in two shades (light to medium and medium to dark) that give the skin a glow and also a tan for lighter complexions. On a hot day, Jergens is more thick in texture and leaves your skin not looking ashy while Nivea’s texture is very thin and can rub off if you sweat, so pick Jergens for moisturizing and pick Nivea for the color, both are under $6, and I highly reccomend buying them both!!!!

During my first year at college I got my first job at Bath & Body Works at the local mall. I was so excited, being my first job and i got to work at a store where i loved their products. While there, i noticed their “Breathe” collection of lotions and sprays and scrubs. There fragrance, “Comfort” was my absolute favorite out of all three ( including Romance, Happiness and Energy) it has a kinda Vanilla scent ( which is a sent that I favor in almost every lotion) and it comes in three’s: body cream, hand cream, and body scrub and its only $12.50, its a bargain, so go out and buy it!

I’ve been a fan of Bath & Body Works products since I was a sophomore in High School when I recieved a gift basket that included body lotion, body spray, and shower gel in the scent of Pearberry (which i recieved alot of compliments for). Their products are not too pricey (the avearge expensive price is $10) and they always have great sales to save and spend more money on their fabulous products! My favorite scent is Cherry Blossom (since its my favorite flower) but they do have a line of excellent scents that last through out the day and will keep you smelling good through out the night! I highly reccomend to buy them!
