Product Review: Caress Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash »

Reviewer: Cinnamon Kitten

Brand: Caress
Name: Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash
Size: 15 oz.
Price: approx. $5.99 USD

Containing Acai Fruit Oil & Passion Flower Cream, Caress Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash softens skin and leaves a luscious, irresistible sheen. The acai berry, found in the palm trees of the Amazon, is known for its antioxidant properties and energizing essence.

As I’m a body wash girl, as opposed to bar soaps, I was excited to try out a new one. It’s definitely part of my normal routine in keeping my skin soft and moisturized.

To Purr About:
- in the shower, the scent is really nice
- body wash is craemy and lathers up really well
- after towelling off, the scent still lingers on the skin, but is very light
- my skin was soft amd moisturized

Claws Out:
- although my skin felt moisturized, it’s not “silky soft” or super-hydrated

Final Comments:
I do like this new body wash, and as it’s available in a couple of other scents as well (Japanese and Moroccan) there’s probably a scent that you’ll enjoy. It’s definitely one of the most moisturizing body washes I’ve tried in a long time.

Window Shopping at US Urban Outfitters Online »

Last month I online window shopped the UK Urban Outfitters (-no, I didn’t end up getting any of those items,) so I decided to do the same for the US site. Boy I tell you, the US UO has a way better selection of clothes at very decent prices. I’ll try not to rant too much about the much cheaper prices in the States compared to the UKs.

I love this dress, especially the pink and teal-coloured ones. It’s not exactly unique and it really reminds me of the early Rory Becca and Lauren Conrad designs but that’s why I love it. It’s simple, colourful and looks very versatile. I imagine it would be fantastic for many occasions in the summer. Plus, it’s made of chiffon and looks like it’s worth the 48usd price tag.

Even I think this dress is boring, but if I still had to go to school everyday, then this would be a great throwing-it-on-in-a-hurry piece. And judging from the photos, the dress provides a good canvas for the accessories to liven up the outfit if you feel like it.

I really liked this dress when I first saw the photo although now that I stare at it more, I’m liking it less. Maybe it’s because the design’s actually more interesting than the plain dress above. But anyhow, it looks like a fun dress to wear during daytime. And it somehow reminds me of Lauren Conrad too. Oh gosh, why does everything remind me of her?

Even though this dress is really not my style, it just looked too pretty for me not to post it. I can imagine Peyton wearing it in One Tree Hill.

Barneys Girl recently emailed me about this shirt and I love it! It’s got small flowers all over the pattern but it’s nice in that it doesn’t look fussy. The design is clean cut and looks easy to wear. I find it so hard to find pretty blouses like this because most of the high street designs are there are either too boring or has too much detail on them. But this one is just right. I want a red one!

I’ve always related Urban Outfitters to graphic tees -that was one of the sources for its original success right? Anyhow, I’m a fan of most white tees that have simple or black and white designs on them and these fit the bill. I especially like the scribbled tee -it’s all about the designed messiness!

I’ve been looking for a mid-waisted, structured mini dress for ages. There are loads of black minis out in shops now but they’re usually not structured or skintight. The slight A-line silhouette this skirt has is so much more flattering.

I’ve been looking for simple, long necklaces in the UK Urban Outfitters and found nothing. This necklace (from US UO) is exactly what I’m looking for, and it’s so affordable at 18usd (although I would probably wait for it to go on sale.)

All this imaginery shopping is making me want to go to the States just for UO!
