Sakura Petals-Lotion

This is a bottle of Cherry Blossom lotion from Bath and Body Works-love their stuff!

The small travel size is cute as can be, and this was given to me as a gift by another very close friend of mine. She knows my taste very well! This lotion smells extremely flowery, like the actual tree (I assume...) and is very smooth once rubbed on. It permeates a strong scent which remains throughout the entire day. What a lotion, eh?!

I also once owned a body spray bottle with this scent, and that was just as fantastic! Of Bath and Body's lotions, along with Sun Ripened Raspberries and Dark Kiss, I would recommend this! It is simply fabulous!

Haha, isn't the sunflower notebook beside it extremely cute? That was given to me by that bestie of mine. Floral is definitely in style right now, so I have been hyped up on sun flowers and decorating with flowers. I digress.

What lotion, out of the three I have reviewed so far, would you most likely buy?

On the Road To Soft Hands

Satin Hands Pampering Set by Mary Kay is a life-saver. Or a hand-saver, rather.

In the Winter time, many hands become drier, sometimes cracked, and despite the pounds of lotion slathered on, nothing seems to help! However, I find that Satin Hands Pampering Set is a wonderful product to use to help this problem. My hands aren't dry in the first place, but I still love to feel the soft smoothness of my hands after using this product. It's like a dream!


The set comes with four bottles. First, the Extra Emollient Night Cream.
This cream is smooth, yet a bit waxy. The instructions say to massage the amount between hands and fingers.

The second product is the Satin Hands Buffing Cream.

This cream is rubbed between the fingers and on the hand as well. It is a bit coarse, but this is to rub away at the dry skin. Those with sensitive hands should find this product not very painful to use (I have sensitive hands), although the first time may be uncomfortable.

The third product is the Satin Hands Cleansing Gel.
After having rubbed both the Night Cream and Buffing Cream on your hands, next is the Satin Hands Cleansing Gel. This gel is very light and very smooth, a relief after the Buffing Cream. Having rubbed all of these onto the hands, the instructions say to rinse hands under warm water. Finally, after having dried them, the last bottle, Satin Hands Hand Cream, is used.

This lotion is made with SPF 4 and is a sunscreen to protect hands. However, I rarely use this after having completed the process. I usually go for another lotion of my choice, preferably Dark Kiss instead, to make my hands smell nicer than the slightly-unpleasant smell from the lotion.

Overall, I would recommend this product. It is fantastic, I have been using it for years, and they have a newer version which is packaged a lot nicer and smells a bit better (my version of the product is from 2000, so...).

Tell me, what's your favorite hand product to use? Would you consider buying this after having read the review?

A Dark Kiss For Me

I LOVE THIS LOTION! Excuse me while I proceed to fan-rave about this product.

I LOVE it!

This lotion, Dark Kiss, is simply enticing. It smells SO sweet, yet it has a velvety rich edge.

The product has key fragrance scents such as vanilla, dark berries, and plum. The website, at Bath and Body Works, spells out a more detailed description for this seductive body lotion.

What I have is a smaller version of the larger bottle, which can be purchased I believe. However, I also know that I received another bottle free from a promotion they were holding at the release of it last year, so the friend who gave this bottle to me as a gift may have gotten it from the free deal. Thus, the smaller bottle may no longer be in stock anymore. Just a heads up, I'm not sure. I'll look into it later.

Tell me, what is your favorite lotion? As you know, I am in love with the Sun Ripened Raspberry lotions, Dark Kiss, and soon there will be more of my favorites revealed!
