Oooo La La! I got the De Bruyère Beayte After Sun Lotion Monoï in my July Glossybox and it’s so nice!
What’s to love?
This cream has Monï ( Tiaré flower in coconut oil) of French Polynesia and it smells amazing! It has a light floral scent mixed with coconut. I’ve been using it all week and it’s not only great for after sun care but also as a moisture cream. My hands are so soft after using it.
It’s also unique because it’s Made In France which just adds to the mystique. It feels kind of luxurious to use a French cream!
De Bruyère Paris is a 100% beauty french touch with unique target to make girls happy, pretty and easily, everywhere anytime.

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.

I picked up this cute little EOS Easter Hand Lotion 3-Pack as a gift from Target and I also got one for myself!
What’s to love?
This EOS Easter hand lotion set contains 3 limited edition scents including Delicate Petals, Berry Blossom and Cucumber. I think the Berry Blossom is my favorite. It’s a light fruit with just a bit of floral.
The packaging on these lotion is neat too. They are flat and easily fit in a purse or make-up bag.
The formula provides 24-hour moisture, is 90% natural, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested and it has shea butter, aloe and antioxidants.
I do find that this lotion makes my hands feel very soft with no greasiness and they make such cute gifts! The design would work for Easter, Mother’s Day or Spring.
Price: $4.99
Ah Lush! You just have too many nice products including the Lush Each Peach (And Two’s A Pair) Massage Bar. Each Peach is a solid lotion that makes my skin feel amazing.
What’s to love?
The funny thing about Each Peach is that it doesn’t smell like peach but it leaves my skin feeling as soft as a peach. Each Peach actually has a nice citrus scent from the lime oil, sweet wild orange oil, mandarin oil and grapefruit oil.
To use the Each Peach Massage Bar you just rub the bar onto dry skin and use it as a lotion. It melts very nicely into my skin. I’ve also used it in the shower and after a bath. It’s really a solid lotion that you can use any way that works best for you.
The ingredients include Shea butter, avocado butter and Mango Kernel Butter to moisturize skin. After I use this product my skin always feels silky and smooth and I like the strong citrus scent it leaves behind.
It is also a vegan product.
Price: $11.95

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.
EOS has a new Shave Cream out and it’s just what I’ve been looking for! I am notorious for cutting my legs up in the shower but this new formula has left me cut free!
What’s to love?
I picked up the smaller tube size of the EOS Shave Cream to test it our but it also comes in a nice 7 fl. oz. pump for $3.59. The Shave Cream comes in 4 scents including Tropical Fruit, Pomegranate Raspberry, Vanilla Bliss and Lavender Jasmine.
I chose the Pomegranate Raspberry which has a wonderful light fruit scent. I also want to try the Vanilla Bliss. The cream itself is white and pretty thick, it also has a bit of a whipped texture that sticks to your legs nicely.
I love how easily my razor worked with this cream. I got an amazingly smooth shave with no clogging of my razor and the cream rinses away clean. It has Shea Butter and Vitamins B3, C & E for moisturizing and my legs felt so smooth when I was done.
I definitely want to pick up the full-sized pump once I use this tube up. I love this stuff!
