Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion

Hello! Have you ever wonder why some people have beautiful skin tone but some have dry and flaky one? Do you think everybody is born with healthy and glowy skin? The answer is no! Even if you're born with beautiful and healthy skin, do you think it will last forever? Definitely No too and beauty is only skin deep!

So what to do now? If you do not have moisturized skin, do something, and if you have, protect it. Here's how you can achieve beautiful and healthy looking skin.

-Drink plenty of water
-Avoid oily and spicy food
-If you skin is sensitive, find out what causes it and avoid 
-8 hours of sleep is a must
-a good body shampoo (what i mean is those that's reasonable like Lux, Johnson and etc)
-Scrub your skin at least once a week to exfoliate the dead skin
-Moisturize it with lotion / body butter

If you're constantly in an air conditioned room especially office or sleeping hour, it's a must to apply lotion to keep your skin moisturized and prevent flaky skin.

Here's this awesome body lotion that i would like to recommend to you guys as i think this's the perfect lotion for me so far and i will continue using it until i find a better one in the future. Vaselline Total Moisture body lotion. This is the new line of Vaselline and it comes in a few range for different requirement. The particular one that i like to most is the Total Moisture Nourishing body lotion with Pure oat extract and Stratys 3 multi-layer moisture.

What it claims :

Vaseline Total Moisture Nourishing lotion leaves your skin feeling healthy, soft & smooth. Our 24 hour nourishing formula combines pure oat extract and stratys 3 multi layer moisture for a quick absorption, infusing moisture at the top, core and deep down layers of skin, keeping skin amazing.

Did you get that? Oat Extract! Whee.. Oat extract is well known for its moisturizing properties and it's one of the natural ingredient for a healthy skin. 

Here's a short summary of what the expert says about oats extract :

It has great anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used extensively in cosmetic preparations for many years.                                                                                      

Oats extract is especially used in products that have a moisturizing and anti-aging effect, as well as in products that are used to alleviate acne, pimples and to treat problem skin.                                                                                                                                        

The main constituents of oats extract are saponins (avenacosides A and B, avenacin) and polyphenols.                                                                                                                                 

Although the cosmetic use of oats in folklore is firmly entrenched and has stood the test of time, it has been proven in modern cosmetics to offer very valuable properties and yield excellent results.

My Opinion

Smell :

Vaseline Total Moisture nourishing body lotion have a very soothing smell which is not too overwhelming and strong for a daily use. 

Texture :

The texture is not too runny nor thick, just nice. It's easy to apply and my skin loves this product a lot as it absorb it quickly. 

Staying power :

It keep my skin moisturize all day long. I apply it during the day time before applying the sun block. And night time after bath. It's not waterproof and thus i have to reapply if when it's being washed away. 

Price and where to get :

It's very affordable and easily available at any convenient store like Watson and Guardian. 

What i like about this product :

-makes my skin stays hydrated and smooth as claim

-love the soothing smell

-stays dry, not oily, sticky or greasy

-nice texture and easy to apply

-easy to absorb

-affordable and available conveniently everywhere

Other smell/range of this Vaseline body lotion :

-Cocoa Butter

Have strong cocoa smell, evens out skin tone and keep skin moisturized. 

-Intense rescue repairing moisture

For very dry skin. Provide 24 hour moisture treatment. Repairs and soften

-Aloe Fresh

Refreshing with aloe vera formula and provide non sticky hydration

-Healthy White

With skin whitening formula to give a healthier and fairer skin

-Sun protection

Comes with SPF for day time use. 

I don't really like the other range of the product due to several reason like the smell is too intense for me, some is a little greasy for me as i live in a tropical country with hot climate, and the one with SPF is good but i can't take the strong smell. 

So the total moisture that i have is the best for me, the smell and texture is good enough for daily application and nothing to complain for such an affordable and awesome product! Thumbs up! Why not grab one and try it out yourself? You'll love it! =)

Etude House Creamy Peach Chou Body Lotion

Went to Sungei Wang with "B" and my bffs last month. "B" forgot to lock his car so he went and check if everything was alright so the guys went and left we girls. We was standing nearby the etude house and saw that they have this great discount for all the products. It was too tempting and we went in to check it out although im not a fan of Etude House. So, i got myself a body lotion, which i'll be doing a review on now and also a shimmery eye shadow(next review). =)

Hmm, so this is how the Creamy Peach Chou Body Lotion looks like.

Look at the packaging, it really has the typical Etude House cuteness look which i don't really like but you will know later why i did purchase this product. =)

In the first place, i don't understand why they called it Creamy Peach "Chou" so i went back home and googled for the meaning and here's the answer for it.

chou   (choux pl )

  nm 

  (=légume) cabbage 
mon petit chou  sweetheart, my sweetheart 

  (autres locutions)  faire chou blanc  to draw a blank 
feuille de chou   (fig)  (=journal) rag 
faire ses choux gras de qch   [presse] to have a field day with sth 
→ ce procès n'intéresse que les médias qui en feront leur choux gras   
→ les médias font leurs choux gras des malheurs de l'actrice   

  adj inv cute 

I got the translation for this website : Reverso

Hmm, base on the translation, chou can be a "Cabbage"?? sweetheart or cute, i think sweetheart and cute is more accurate.. There's nothing to do with cabbage as i've read through the ingredient for this product. Lol!!

Here're the information from the product:
Contains Peach extract, peach kernal oil, shea butter and wheat protein for firming and to moisturize and tighten the body with a creamy chou texture.
Size : 300ml
Normal Price : RM20++

Well the reason for buying this product at that time is because i was attracted by the word "Peach", yes P-E-A-C-H. If you've read my previous post, i'm a fan of Peach and everything with peach if great for me. Too bad, Rubin dislike it and she said it smells bad. Beside's there's a 20% off for this so i purchase it at RM18, for 300ml, very reasonable rite the price.

I've been using it for almost 1 month. The nice thing about it is it smells really great, just the same like The Body Shop Peach Body Butter. The differences are, the Etude House one is less intense(texture), it's more watery and the liquid is white in colour. Does this mean that the Etude House one has no colouring and The Body Shop one has? I dont know.. =)
Ya so, i apply it at night and when i woke up in the morning, my skin does feel a lil smoother before applying it. However, it doesn't really gives much moisture for my skin.
I did a comparison between Etude House creamy peach chou and The Body Shop peach body butter and summarize as below:

The Body Shop Body Butter
-Very thick texture
-The scent stay on my skin for the whole night
-Sticky even after apply it for 1 hour
-Very moisturizing
-More expensive
-Comes in a tub (inconvenient)

Etude House Creamy Peach Chou
-Texture is thin
-Scent does not stay long on my skin, around 15 minutes only
-Dries up faster, can't feel any stickiness or tackiness
-Lightly moisturize
-Inexpensive
-Comes in a cute bottle, easier to use, just squeeze out.

So base on the above comparison, both has it's own pros and cons. So i prefer to use The Body Shop body butter at night before sleep as i stay in an air conditioned room, i need a really moisturizing body lotion to ensure my skin stay hydrated. I will never use The Body Shop body butter during the day time as i really cannot tolerate with the stickiness of it on my skin, although it gives me a really nice scent even without applying any perfume.
As for The Etude House creamy peach chou, i will use it during the day time as it can lightly moisturize my skin and protect my skin from harmful pollutants when i walk to school, and it dries up really fast on my skin and i cant feel any stickiness and it's not oily. This works great during day time as you don't want yourself end up feeling uncomfortably sticky especially when you're under the raging hot sun in Malaysia. Will i purchase this body lotion again? No, i can get something more moisturizing and at the same time, gives me a longer lasting scent on my body. Here i end my review with the pros and cons of The Etude House Cream Peach Chou body lotion. =)

Pros:
-Affordable
-Nice peach scent
-Dries up quickly, skin does not feel sticky or tacky
-Convenient packaging

Cons:
-Not moisturizing enough for me
-Effectiveness is only around 20 to 30%
-Scent does not last long on my skin

Overall Rating:
4/10
