Product Review: ENVO Peppermint Cucumber Aqua Frost Body Butter

     Hello, I'm back! Been MIA for days because the internet connection was acting up and if you noticed Dear Kitty Kittie Kath now has a new layout :) Do you like my new layout? Thank you so much to Deann of It's Me Deanne for the pretty design. It's simple that is so me! I will also launched my new domain name- kathrivera.com two weeks from now. So please visit this page from time to time for updates. 

     Anyhoo, if you still remember my post about ENVO Bath and Body products I'm sure you're very intrigued with the brand's product line. Actually, ENVO's current products are body butters, body scrubs and the soap that I already reviewed here. ENVO's body butter was my first organic lotion/moisturizer/body butter that's why I'm very excited to try it when I got hold of this months ago. Since the heat was very insane last month, this product became a staple in my skin care cabinet. I make sure that I apply an ample amount every after bath to refresh and give my skin the cooling sensation it needed. I skipped commercial brand lotions last April and May, splattering them all over my body just made my skin greasy and uncomfortable. Have you tried applying lotion then afterwards sweat runs out throughout your arms and legs? I know, we hate that feeling right? So this organic body butter just came in time and my summer never felt greasy and icky again :) To know more about ENVO Bath and Body products click here.

     The sun too hot for you to handle? Not anymore, a cooling sensation like no other, this body butter directly cools your skin right after application and stays there for hours. The mixture of Peppermint and Cucumber gives its users a double dose of freshness, not to mention that peppermint gives it a very attractive scent. Its main benefits are nourishes and hydrates your skin, soothes and softens the skin, relieves skin irritations and itchiness and it also help ease sting of sunburn.

My Sample Room Product for April + Mini Haul

     Hello! Hope you had an awesome Monday dearies and to start another week that's gonna be full of surprises from yours truly let me share with you my mini haul for this month. Skin care products that you'll see here are my favorites/holy grail (HG's) so I'll just leave the links just in case you haven't read my review on them. 

     I'm on my 3rd bottle of Eskinol Facial Cleanser, I use it once a day or when I feel that my face needs extra cleaning after wearing makeup for more than 5 hours. This toner works best with another fave All Organics Lemongrass FacialToner and the Quick FX Pimple Eraser. I noticed some of my old pimple marks appear less visible now. It's not an overnight miracle though but I'm happy to see positive results. I still love the effect of Quick FX Pimple Eraser not only in combating nasty zits but also in making dark pimple marks lighter :) Another product that I really love is Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub. I've been using this product alternately with A Bonne' Spa White C Salt Scrub. Both products work great in exfoliating dead skin cells on my body caused by heat and pollution. 

     Say hello to my new shoulder/body bag from Y.R.Y.S. :) It's not fashionable and trendy but being spacious is a plus for me that's why I bought it without hesitations. My long time fave shoulder bag from Landmark is showing a sign that it needs to rest for a while to prevent it from further damage.

     Here's what I got from Sample Room 2 weeks ago, a 50ml Mustela Hydro Bebe Hydrating Lotion. I was planning to use this on my son but when I opened it, the cologne-like scent made me decide to use it on the driest part of my body. I love how velvety and soft my skin to touch after applying the lotion. Will post a separate review on this soon.

     So basically that's all for now. I still have lots of product reviews and features coming on the following days. There will be new giveaways this week and next week so watch out for it. For the meantime, join my ongoing giveaway here: Summer Giveaway 2. Thank you for visiting guys!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream

     Last month, my mom gave me a tub of this moisturizer and I'm very eager to use it because my legs tend to become dry during cold months. I told myself that this product will work wonders with my dry skin because Dove is known as the moisturizing product from their ads and it also claims to be gentle on skin. Many of us have known Dove since our childhood days. I still remember when my relatives abroad brought different variants of Dove soaps and lotions as "pasalubong".

The intensive cream from Dove offfers rich care and a pleasant feel on the skin during and after application. It combines nourishing ingredients and a generous dose of active moisturizer.

place bought: Saudi Arabia

Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream
product well sealed with foil

Dove Intensive Moisturizing Cream
texture is creamy and thick

What I like:

• The tub is cute, actually i like the color of this better than Nivea creams, well-sealed and has manufacturing and expiry date on the side.
• The smell is not overpowering, smells like Dove soap- white variant.
• The texture is creamy and thick, a little goes a long way.
• Has English translation since it came from Middle East.

What I don't like:

• Unhygienic since it's in a tub.
• Very moisturizing that it will make your skin oily if you use more than what it is intended.
• Poor absorption of the product, takes more than 5 minutes in my case.
• Can be very greasy if applied in the morning.

Will I repurchase?No, I like Glysolid more better than this.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 3/5 rating. I think this product suits people with very dry skin. A little amount should be use in dry areas like elbows, knees, heels and hands because the product can get very sticky and greasy. Use a spatula when scooping out the product from the tub to avoid contamination.

     Do you use moisturizing products like Dove on dry skin?What other products can you recommend?

Good Times!~
