as well as in a blink of an eye, February is gone!

Here’s what I utilized up this month.

Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter – $46 for 226g (Kiehl’s stores as well as online)
I evaluated the Coriander version of this last year where I discussed that I’ll likely get around to opening up this next winter season (ie now) as well as true to my word, I opened this on January 2nd as well as completed it in February! I have this tub in the restricted edition Craig & Karl style however Kiehl’s offers this scent in their routine line / packaging – the soy milk & honey scent is a extremely soft, comforting smell. I felt this version of the body butter felt much more hydrating compared to the Coriander one – I question if the components are somewhat different depending upon the scent? It’s extremely extravagant feeling however rather costly as well as only lasted me a bit over a month – I may repurchase as a treat.

TRESemme 4+4 additional Hold Hairspray – $8 for 311g (Sally charm Supply)
I’ve only seen this formula at Sally charm supply – it’s different from the routine TRESemme that is sold at drugstores. The scent is lighter as well as the hold is stronger – I utilize this to tame my flyaways. Unfortunately, mine had a wonky nozzle that would get clogged up all the time. I continuously had to run it under warm water to unclog it. I discovered this on clearance for $2 so I purchased 2 cans. I hope the other can doesn’t have the nozzle problem.

I got this last year in my UK / Canada switch with Nicola. She had suggested this was one of her preferred products as well as wow, she’s not kidding! It has a amazing authentic coconut scent as well as leaves the skin feeling soft as well as nourished. I’d state the only weakness of this product is that it doesn’t lather a ton. I can’t believe what a bargain this is for UKers. It’s rather costly for me to purchase on the internet though.
