Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Body Scrub Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I am a huge fan of the Tree Hut scrubs and the Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Body Scrub is my new favorite! The coconut scent has a hint of lime and smells so tropical and fresh.

The Coconut Lime scrub has sugar and coconut shells to exfoliate and…

Certified Organic Shea Butter, Coconut and Lime Extracts and an array of natural oils, including Evening Primrose, Safflower Seed, sweet Almond, Avocado, Macadamia Seed and Orange Oil.

One of the reasons I love Tree Hut scrubs so much is that they feel and smell so natural, there is nothing synthetic about them for me. The scrub does an amazing job on my skin and I even clean up tub with it!

It is Made in the USA too.

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I can never resist trying out new Lush soap so I picked up the Lush Sexy Peel Soap during my latest haul and boy is it nice! A fresh citrus delight.

What’s to love?

Sexy Peel is all about oranges! I seriously love all products that smell like oranges and this one is very nice too. This soap also has Coconut Oil and the juice, oil and peel of orange and lemon. It also has lime juice and oil in it. So this is a lot of delicious citrus!

The citrus peel does an amazing job with exfoliation and I love using this one on my face and body. It’s extremely fresh and leaves my skin tight and smooth. It also does a great job with oil control.

Overall I am loving Sexy Peel and the name is cute too.

Lush Ocean Face And Body Scrub Salt Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I did a little Lush haul and picked up the Lush Ocean Face And Body Scrub Salt. I got the self-preserving formula which means there’s no synthetic preservatives.

What’s to love?

The self-preserving version of Ocean Salt is Vegan and it’s supposed to be a little gentler than the original version. I got this version because it has avocado butter and lime in addition to the Hand Harvested Sea Salt. Lush also uses silken tofu, mango butter and japan wax in place of lanolin in this version.

I love how Ocean Salt feels on my skin. It’s got a light grit and I feel like it cleans and conditions at the same time. I also love the smell. It’s a fresh salty scent with a touch of citrus. It also really does a great job on my oil skin.

Gilchrist & Soames BeeKind Body Lotion Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I have been a fan of the London based Gilchrist & Soames since the 80’s but haven’t picked anything up from them lately so I was thrilled to get the BeeKind Body Lotion in my April Glossybox. I also got the shower gel too.

What’s to love?

First up Gilchrist & Soames products contain no products parabens, phthalates, petrol-derived ingredients, mineral oil, urea, DEA, TEA, DMDM hydantoin, or propylene glycol.

But I love this body lotion because it smells like limes! It actually has Fresh lemon verbena but to me it smells limey. They formula is amazing too. It’s non greasy and it absorbs quickly while leaving behind the amazing citrus scent. I could really smell this stuff all day!

I also have fond memories of getting Gilchrist & Soames when I was a teenager. For some reason it reminds me of Duran Duran…go figure! I probably picked up some of their soap with my girlfriends and Duran Duran was playing at the mall. It’s just one of those brands I get nostalgic for. Oh and that green bee is so cool too.

Lush Sea Vegetable Soap Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I ventured out to Lush today and got a nice haul that I want to share with all of you. Now if you’ve never been to a Lush store and go for the first time be prepared for a real treat. The smell when you first walk in is so incredibly amazing. It’s a mix of fresh fruit, earthy floral, herbs, the ocean chocolate, vanilla and about 27 other scents you’ll want to learn about.

The first item in my haul is the Lush Sea Vegetable Soap which is one of my favorites.

What’s to love?

I think Sea Vegetable is definitely on my Top 10 Favorite Lush soap. This one is a beautiful opaque aqua color with black swirls and it looks like the ocean. Then on the top of the soap it’s got a crust of stimulating sea salt that’s is amazing for exfoliation.

Sea Vegetable also has lime, lavender and seaweed absolute and my skin feels so soft and invigorated when I use it. This scent is to relaxing to me, it really feels like a spa product.

See the Lush Sea Vegetable Soap in action!

I’m also starting a series of 2-minute Lush videos just to give you a little more information about the product. This one also has a little demo of the soap at the end. I hope you enjoy it.

C.O. Bigelow Body Lotion Review

Queen of the Girl Geeks

I picked up three of the C.O. Bigelow Body Lotions for my mom over the holidays. You can get these at Bath & Body works for $9 each and they are really nice.

What’s to love?

Fun fact! C.O. Bigelow was founded in 1838 and is the oldest surviving apothecary–pharmacy in the U.S.A and the only actual C.O. Bigelow store is the original location at Sixth Avenue store in Greenwich Village. You can get their products online and at Bath & Body works.

I love their line and their body lotions are amazing. My mom has extremely dry hands and is always looking for a new lotion so I got her Citrus Vetiver, Lime Coriander and Vanilla Birch. They also come in Freshwater Lavender, Almond Musk, Sea Salt Mimosa, Bergamot Amber, Mandarin Oak and Cashmere Fig.

The body lotions are made with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Aloe and Vitamin B5 and they really do work for us. The white formula is soft and and absorbs quickly. It does not feel greasy at all and they scents are amazing and strong in a fresh and beautiful way. I don’t find them to be perfumey at all, but more earthy and fresh. I’ve actually had people compliment me on the scent in stores.

I also love the simple masculine style of the bottles. I put one on my dresser and my husband started using it, he love it too. I think this product is great for anyone.
