McLovin'

I am a big fan of Vaseline lotions. They are cheap, can find them anywhere, and they do the job. As usual I had to pick up it's new body gel-Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil. I purchased this body gel from Walgreens ($6.49 USD) last week . After a week's use, I'm in love with my skin again. My skin is what my skin is suppose to be. Do I dare to say this again, I'm lovin' it. Usually in the summer I use Neutrogena Body oil because I really like the fact that is light weight and has a light sesame scent. But I'm putting Neutrogena Body Oil on the self to make room on my bathroom counter for Vaseline. So here is my review of Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil.

How to use:

Get a quarter size of gel into hands and spread over soaking skin (right after shower or bath before towelling dry). When your done gelling up your bod, towel dry.

Review:

The scent is the typically Cocoa Butter smell-nice and nutty for the summer. It is thick typically gel base moisturizer (unlike the typical oil like Neutrogena Body Oil). The gel is clear and infused with oils that helps the gel moisturize and locks it in. A little does not go a long way. I find myself picking up the bottle continuously. After toweling off-AMAZEMENT. My skin is GOR-GIOUS. It is supple, juicy, luxe, and FAB-U-LOUS. My skin is incredibly soft. It is 10pm and over 8 hours ago from last using this product, my skin is still soft.

Loves:
Soft summer skin, cheap, drugstore, availability

Hates:
Small Bottle (6.8 oz.), some people reported breakouts.

Intrided .

I also walked out with some Milani products as well. I wasn't going to explore around but I found Milani EyeShadow Quad in Wild Violets. I have been hunting this down for a while and I'm so surprised I have found it. Every time I head over to the Milani stand, it is always empty with crushed left over eyeshadows. So here is what I have gotten from Milani.

Milani nail polish in Purple Passion (now get this, the cashier asked me for my birthday because there is some stuff in there that might make a young person sick). So here are pics and swatches.
