Smooth feeeeeties 😍🦶🏻

I’ve been using these two this works products for several months now. Are they worth it? Let’s start with thisworks - Deep Sleep Body Cocoon Cost: $40 for 3.3oz Claims: “multitasking wellness solution for calmer nights and nourished skin” Ingredients: -moisturizing agents to nourish skin and support the moisture barrier: shea butter, crambe, camelia and sativa oils -fragrance to promote sleep: lavender, chamomile, and vetivert oils My take: For the price, I would not recommend this lotion to a friend. The scent is really nice and honestly does make me feel more relaxed in the evenings. The ritual of putting this on my arms and legs before bed is also soothing. In terms of moisturizing, I am very underwhelmed by this product. It has a very thin consistency, not at all as thick and hydrating as I would typically gravitate towards in an overnight hydration product. On the plus side, I get straight in be without worrying about stickiness because the thin consistency sinks in instantly. Overall, the hydrating benefits are just not there for me for this very expensive lotion and the scent isn’t enough to outweigh that. Final verdict: this doesn’t work Ok, onto the thisworks - Sleep Together Calming Spray Cost: $34 for 2.5oz Claims: “a day-to-night calling spray to help everyone feel more rested and increase overall sleep satisfaction” Ingredients: lavender, chamomile, and vetivert oil My take: take out all the mediocre moisturizing of the body cocoon and you’re left with a this blend of essential oils that I genuinely enjoy and find extremely relaxing. It only takes a few sprays to diffuse this smell throughout your space so I’ve been using this for months now and still have a ton of product left. Once again, the ritual of using it at night gets me in the right headspace for sleep and helps me wind down at the end of the day. This is cheaper than the body cocoon and also is lasting me much longer so while it’s definitely frivolous, I would probably but it again as a treat to myself or include it in a gift for a friend because final verdict: this works! P.S. my eye mask is Bucky 40 Blinks and I swear by it. It’s available on Amazon or the Bucky website, comes in a ton of colors and patterns, and best of all is molded so that your eyelashes aren’t bumping into it all night (also makes it look like an mini bra which I’ve gotten quite a few questions about 😂) 💤 what are your favorite products to wind down at night?

I know I sound just like all the influencers by saying a $45 body cream is worth it but... I would repurchase this. The smell lasts longer than any other body cream I’ve used. And it smells like a tropical mix of sunscreen and maybe coconut? Long after it’s been applied it makes my skin look smooth and glowy! Even after I wash it off, my skin feels more moisturized than before. I enjoy that it’s not thick like a body butter but it’s not super thin and runny either. It’s a great consistency and soaks into the skin and doesn’t feel sticky or gross after application. I will repurchase this next summer! SOL de Janeiro - Brazilian Bum Bum Cream #cheriepartner

Clarins is famous for pregnancy-safe skincare. I really love this set for stretch mark treatment. CLARINS - Contour Body Treatment Oil The oil is a rich formula that increases skin elasticity and prevents skin peeling and stretch marks. CLARINS - Exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin This scrub polishes the skin for other treatment. The skin feels smooth and soft after use. I am 36 weeks pregnant and I don’t have any annoying stretch marks. Love them!

* Hyped product letdown Yep, it’s darn pretty. And it smells yummy! But for me, that’s about it. This one was a huge disappointment for me. I purchased Unicorn Fruit last June before the company had to rename and reformulate their products. I found the body cream to be thick and hard to absorb into the skin. It also left a very oily residue, which was left all over my car seats. And I didn’t put a lot on. What I do like about it is it fruity scent (cotton candy) and it has a soft shimmer to it so I do not mind wearing it on my décolletage. There are other products I like of theirs but this was hugely popular and ended up being a flop for me 😔

On my hunt for new black owned beauty skincare brands I came across KYNCARE. I saw many great reviews and got my hands on these body oils ✨ They have everything from body creams, scrubs to face oils. 🌸 4oz for $ $18 🌸 These body oils come in 4 scents 🌸 The ingredients are Avocado oil and fragrance 🌸 Light weight absorbs easily into skin 🥥 Coconut Cream Body Oil 🥥 KynCare - Coconut Dream Body Oil Coconut Cream Body Oil smells delicious like a tropical coconut, very lightly scented. Out of the two this is my favorite scent. 🍑 Peaches & Cream Body Oil 🍑 KynCare - Peaches & Cream Body Oil Peaches & Cream Body Oil smells like cake icing to me not my favorite but will layer over a vanilla lotion or body butter nicely. ❤️How To Use ❤️ Warm up in hands and Apply to clean skin This oil absorbs easily into skin , very light weight I like to also layer this oil over my lotions and body butters to create a unique scent and add extra moisture. Overall I do like these oils, I wish the formula was a bit more complex like additional oils BUT it’s still a very moisturizing light weight oil. #cheriecreator

I have raved about the @soldejaneiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream before and I'm here to rave about it again! Just imagine the perfect summer day. You’ve just spent the day at the beach with your besties. You’re freshly bronzed from laying out all day and you’re getting ready to go to a seafood dinner. You put on the perfect white summer dress because who doesn’t love wearing white in the summer. You then coat your freshly tan legs with this perfect cream that smells like Summer & Sunshine all jarred up. Making your tan legs look glowy and smooth ✨ That is what I think of when I think of the Bum Bum Cream. This is my favorite cream to spoil myself with when I need a little pick me up. It’s the perfect mix of Sunshine & Summer and can be used all year around. I mean who doesn’t want a reminder of warmer, sunnier days when the colder months come along. And can we talk about that texture 😩. It glides onto your skin so effortlessly and is so smooth!If you haven’t tried this body cream yet you have no idea what you are missing out on ☀️ I hope you all have an amazing tuesfay! Don’t forget to stop & smell the roses.... or this bum bum cream whichever you prefer 🌹SOL de Janeiro - Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
