In order to make it on to the blog they need to be
a) vegan - containing no animal byproducts
b) cruelty free - meaning the products were not tested on animals
c) super awesome - which is the smell, look, or work great. (or they are really cheap)
Donna has a lot of experience with cosmetics, she has worked for MAC and Bobbi Brown and was the make-up artist at the Salon she used to work at. I am not so well versed, but I have a weird addiction to buying drug store cosmetics and so my "good deal" radar is pretty accurate.
Above stated radar is what led me to - Trader Joe's Coconut Body Butter
Okay so 3.99! Next it is a huge pot. 8 oz (227 grams) (So cheap and huge...like your mother Trebek.) And it has a flip-top!!
Next is the texture. It actually feels like frosting. When I put it on I felt almost perversely decadent.
Now here is the only downside for me which may not be a downside for anyone else. The fragrance. It smells delicious, like edible. But I am kinda over the whole scent of shea butter and coconut. I seriously felt like a frosted cupcake that got drunk on Malibu. The good news is it wasn't so strong that I was bothered by it all day. Plus Sir K thought it smelled great. So really this is just a personal thing.
The sum-up is - worth the buy, would be a great addition to a gift for vegan or omnivorous friends or for yourself!
