Firstly I was sent the Orange Butter Shower Scrub, the smell was divine I loved it! The scrub itself was a lot thinner than most of the scrubs I have used before and the actual grains were very small - they are called microgranuals! This was great as it wasn't rough on my skin and didn't leave me feeling scratched like some do. My skin smelt and felt amazing after use - even after one use my skin felt a lot softer and smoother - very well exfoliated! I was very happy with the results but feel that on very dry skin you may need something more - but for an everyday routine this is perfect. Looking online I can see that the price of this product is around £3.90 - I think this is a very average price for a decent body scrub in fact it is quite cheap compared to some other brands.
Next I tried out the colour change kids bath - again the smell was lovely and it was very delicate on their sensitive skin - this product is for children over the age of 1 year! I used it with my son who is 6 years old and the other night I also let my daughter in the bath with it as she turns one in a few days! There was no irritation even though the scent is quite strong (not overpowering though), some others I have used have caused dryness or irritation on their skin. I did however not see a difference in the water - no colour change! I am hoping to try it out a few more times, maybe use some more of the product and see if that makes a difference at all! I have no complaints about how it worked and how it left my kids skin soft and smooth! My daughter has dry skin by her ankles and after the bath it seemed to be a little smoother which is great. Again looking online I can see the price of this product is around £2.90 which is a good price, most of the products I normally buy for the kids are around the £2 - 3 mark so it is not expensive in comparison.
Then I tried the Hand Cream with Ceramides - I really liked the hand cream it was very moisturising and not sticky at all, however it did take a while to sink into the skin which can be a problem if you are in a rush! It claims to strengthen your nails so I am interested to see if it does - I feel I haven't been using it long enough yet to tell but my nails are so weak and break a lot! Looking online you can pick up the different hand creams for around £1.20 which is a brilliant price, I have paid a lot more for products which feel horrible and sticky when you rub them in and they just sit on the skin! Even better if it does strengthen your nails because that's a bonus when looking for a hand cream!
I saved the best until last - my favourite product out of them all was the Natural olive ointment - I really loved it! I've never really used anything like it! I was very interested as soon as I saw it because it can be used for a lot of things! I used it on my elbows as I get particularly dry skin there and also on my lips - the only thing I can compare it to is Vaseline - however I feel that Vaseline has an unpleasant smell - this has no smell and no taste at all which is great. It was not sticky on my lips like some balms and glosses can be and it sunk in reasonably quickly on my skin. My elbows are still dry but I have been using it for some time and I can see a big improvement! As for my lips, this weather really gets to them, always makes them sore - they have gotten sore this year but nothing that hasn't been sorted by this amazing ointment. I do not have particularly sensitive skin but there were no reactions so I don't think it will be harsh on any skin type! Looking about online it seems that this costs around £1.60 which is great! The one and only complaint I have about this is that the box seemed to be quite a lot bigger than the tube - this seems like a waste of packaging to me (there could be a reason for this but I can not think of one) - but as for the product itself it will now become part of my everyday routine and I will certainly be purchasing it in the future!
