Recently I've been in the mood for Lemon scent, although I used to have a love/hate relationship with lemon-scented products. I have had enough experience of products ended up smelling like a dish washing soap or toilet cleaner if it's lemon-scented, so I had to stay away from it.
But somehow karma caught me off guard because I kept ordering bath & body products in lemon, perhaps part of it is my subconscious being curious & unsatisfied lol
So today I went to Walmart and saw these products of J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary, it's 95%++ natural, which reminds me of Burt's Bees products. They have various ranges of scents & products..Lemon, Vanilla, Mango, Aloe & Green Tea, and Lavender. The Vanilla is nothing special, but the Lemon line is YUMMO.
Although the name is only Lemon Cream, it's nothing like sharp citrus-y scent I hate. The scent is much more than lemon, I believe it has cookies & cake note because this lemon is very smooth, warm, creamy, and smells like lemon pound cake.
I tried their Hand & Body Lotions on my right arm and Shea Butter on my left. That's when I found out that the Hand & Body Lotions left a chemical scent on my skin after a while (that happens) but the Shea Butter smells disturbingly delicious.
So I picked up the Shea Butter, it's 4.60 Oz jar for $4.80 ! I believe Walmart sells the cheapest, it's $7.00 on their site.
The ingredients:
Water, Butyrosermum parkii (shea butter), glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate, stearic acid, Macadamia ternifolia seed oil, sorbitan tristearate, Theobraoma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, Prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, Persea gratissima (avocado) oil, cetyl alcohol, fragrance, triethanolamine, dimethicone, propylene glycol (and) diazolidinyl urea (and) methylparaben (and) propylparaben, Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, beeswax, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, citric acid, disodium EDTA.
I swear it's so DANG GOOD, it looks like ice cream too LOL It moisturize my hands like no other (shea butter IS very moisturizing). Some ladies on Makeupalley board said this cream smells like CYS Lemon Marshmallow Wafer (which I've never smelled) but to my nose it smells like CYS Cuddle. The drydown, tho, smells different.
I highly recommend it =)
