I SAID YES TO CARROTS!

I'm so glad Tiffany did a review on this, otherwise I would never have been introduced to such a wonderful product! She bought hers at Target by accident so I was planning to head there and check it out; however, I happened to be at a Walgreens yesterday and saw this in the beauty aisle! Woo hoo, saves me a trip and better yet, it was BOGO! I forget if it was buy one, get one half off? (I have to check my receipt and that's at home. hehe.) Anyways just my luck bc I was on a hunt for a good body moisturizer for the summer and wasn't looking to spend alot on it.

Anyways, onto my review and oh if you have time, check out their blog:

Price: $7.49 BOGO!
Where to purchase: Walgreens
Size: 8.45 oz

Ingredients: Best part of this moisturizer as well is that it is Paraben-free!! woo hoo! Also includes all your yummy ingredients to nourish your body and the ingredients are as follows:

Spring Water and (Dead) Sea Water and Carrot Juice , Isopropyl Myistate , Propylene Glycol , Aloe Barbadensis , Glyceryl Stearate , Cetearyl Alcohol , Prunus Dulcis (Almond) oil , Buxus Chinensis (Jojoba) oil , Calendula officinalis Oil , Organic Extracts of: Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Melon, Orange & Honey , Silt (Dead Sea Mud) , Olea Europea (Olive) Oil , Fragrance , Potassium Lactate , Camomila Recuthita (Camomile Oil) , Tocopherol Acetate , Algae Extracts (Dunaliella, Spirulina, Rhodella) , Rosmarinus Officinalis Extract , Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil , Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil , Propolis Extract , Ginkgo Biloba , Niacin , Carrot Juice , Carrot Seed Oil , Imidazolidinyl Urea

Consistency: very light and moisturizing!

Scent: Ok, now this is my favorite part. It reminds me of H20 Milk Body Moisturizer and I absolutely LOVE the scent. However I can't find one near me to repurchase plus the price of this product is so much cheaper. I definitely bought another as a backup =) The company also have other lines (Yes to Tomatoes & Yes to Cucumbers) but I'm definitely more partial to the "Yes to Carrots" scent a lot better. I don't like carrots that much, but surprisingly, this product does not smell at all like carrots which is a plus in my book! =)

What it claims: An advanced formula Body Moisturizing Lotion with carrot juice, pumpkin, sweet potato and melon… simply delicious!! Feel your moisture levels rise as C is Smooth neutralizes free radicals and leaves the skin silky soft and fresh

What it actually does: THAT is exactly what it does. The scent is not overly strong at all but leaves me feeling moisturized and I just feel as if my skin is just soaking up all the nutrients that it needs. =)

Skin Type: suitable for anyone except extreme dryness

Likelihood of Repurchase: Most definitely!! This is my holy grail for body moisturizer for sure especially during the summer!

Ratings: (5) out of 5 cosmos

    Girl I almost didn't recognize you from the profile pic! You look WAY hot!!

    You should really try the shampoo/conditioner too. They are AMAZING! I've been using it for like a year, and I'm still impressed.

    Ooooh, I'm going to have to check this out. I caved on a L'Occitane body lotion last weekend b/c I was looking for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer, but this looks like it'd fit the bill for 1/3 of the price! I'll have to check this out next time I'm at Target!
