Sparkled Beauty

Well I do a lot of things but we are talking about a different kind of love today.

You must have seen this lovely bath and body UK brand "I love... Cosmetics" in stores before, especially during the holiday. I didn't venture out to try anything from the brand before until I was sent these two items, happened to be in the pink/ red theme :)

Glad to know that I love... formula is skin friendly, paraben free, with natural additives and fruity scents.

Again, scents are subjective, some appeal more to one person than the next. I always suggest a sniff test before you haul scented products for that reason.

So how are these products and their scents?

This Strawberries & Cream bubble bath/ shower creme is deliciously looking and smelling :)

The product, soap free and pH balanced, is supposed to have have a skin softening vitamin complex and natural strawberry extract. The brand's EU website has a scent meter for each product - from 1 as mild to 11 as wild, and Strawberries & Cream ranges at 8.7.

I normally prefer fruity scents that are less sweet than strawberry, but this scent is nice for a shower. If you prefer using this product for a bath, pour it under running water to create bubbles instead.

Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Fragrance, Glycol Distearate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Laureth-4, PEG-150 Distearate, Trisodium Sulfosuccinate, Benzophenone-4, Disodium Edta, etc.

Paraben free, the bubble bath/ shower creme has 16.9oz/ 500ml in the bottle, retails $9.99.

Next is the Raspberry & Blackberry body butter, formulated with coconut oil and shea butter.

The moisturizing effect and texture are great but surprisingly, both Squirt and I did not like this scent better than Strawberries & Cream even when its scent meter is at 8.3, slightly lighter. We ended up using this body butter for the feet before bed, and it works well for that :)

Ingredients: Water, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride , Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Ceteareth-20, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Fragrance, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Carbomer, Butyrespermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, etc.

The jar has 6.9oz/ 200ml of product, $9.99.
