L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

Great for winter

First of all, it's expensive at $10 per 1oz. Second of all, it works great with very dry, winter hands. It looks like it plumps my skin from hydration. But, overall, for me it was not very absorbent and left small grease marks on my laptop and papers. I wouldn't recommend it for warm seasons because it's not really lightweight. Shea butter is not a light weight ingredient. Smell is ok, like others mentioned, baby powder, but it's not overwhelming.

Suave Professionals Rosemary and Mint Shampoo

Dries out hair

It has a beautiful smell. But after using it between every other day, it has dried out my scalp very badly and before I had no dandruff and now I have it. I'm upset I have to get more expensive shampoos or take time out of my day now, to rehydrate my scalp. I would stay away, because it's too harsh. Especially for oily hair.

Victoria's Secret Hydrating Body Lotion

12 dollars for incredible scent, and some hydration

I usually don't like other VS lotions because they are greasy but this lotion hydrates my body a little more. It's very smooth, silky and while it does sink into my skin is leaves a sheen of grease. It'srefreshing and cooling. I use Grapefruit Lime and Mint fragrance. Also, the pump dispenser is a lot friendlier than the squeeze caps.

Victoria's Secret Secret Garden Collection Hydrating Body Lotion

Not too hydrating but a little greasy

The fragrances are wonderful! I've been devoted to Love Spell ever since I was in high school. Sadly, the hydrating body lotion, on me, leaves a greasy residue, so it's not absorbed easily. Also, my body doesn't feel hydrated, just dry and a little greasy. But the smell is wonderful. BUT i love Victoria's Secret: Naturally hydrating body lotion in the white, organic-looking bottles. That stuff really sinks in, is incredibly smooth and smells just as wonderful.
