Boots Natural Collection Strawberry Body Cream Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger

Want to know what’s keeping my skin super moisturized and yummy smelling all this summer?

It’s this yummy, lovely, eye-catching jar of Boots Natural Collection Strawberry Body Cream. I got this just for how it looked in the jar and it’s amazing smell. Infact I got it 11 months back but started using it just recently because it looked so good I just didn’t feel like using it and spoiling the whole cream-gel look :P

This cream looks so good you just feel like eating it up. I honestly would have thinking it as strawberry yoghurt :P as it does smell like it too. It’s a swirl of white cream and red/pink gel. Now I really love its moisturizing level. It is kinda sticky initially but when it penetrates in your skin, it leaves no greasy residue whatsoever. I really don’t mind the stickiness as for me other things matter more.  I mostly use it after taking a bath or before sleeping.


You might be thinking why am I using a fruity fragrance on winter instead of summers? I don’t mind smelling like fruits all round the year :D Plus it really works great for my drying winter skin so I guess that’s a plus point. Moving on to price, I got it for Dhs40 (£6.81) when it’s actual price in UK boots is for £3.56. I find it sort of expensive for a body cream. But it’s alright to treat our body once in a while right?

What I like about this cream?
*Moisturizes well
*Smells divine!!
*Good packaging. Comes in a clear jar so you can see how much is left.
*White cream leaves the skin super smooth & red gel leaves a cooling sensation at the same time.


What I don’t like about this cream?
*Its kinda expensive for a drugstore body cream.
*No mention of ingredients in the packaging. Aint that weird?
*Fragrance doesn’t last for long.

I really recommend you to atleast smell it any of the boots stores. I’m sure you will be lured into getting this :P I also got its body wash since I am so in love with it. 

Have you tried it? What’s your take on this product?
Want to see a review on its body wash too? Let me know J

Iconic Haul & Rad's Giveaway

Retweet this button on every post blogger
Iconic had this huge massive sale for Christmas last month but since my comp wasn't working I never got a chance to post the lovely stuff I got for myself at a cheap bargain :D                                                                       Iconic is this amazing shop which sells products from New Look, Splash, Guess, Victoria Secrets, Nyx and many other beauty and fashion brands. So I wanted to get lots and lots of stuff obviously seeing the sale :P But mom had come along and she wanted to get everything super fast so she could get to shop in other places where she was interested!! So these are the few little goodies I got:-
These are Beauty Junky Face Masks. Honestly I got them just for the super cute packaging :P But I'm definitely gonna use them all up. They individually cost Dhs 12 ($3.2). I got them for Dhs 6. ($1.6) each. These include strawberry face mask, dead sea mud mask, aromatherapy face mask with essential oils and cucumber peel off mask.

Again they were just tooo cute to pass on. These are Cheeky Chimp face masks which I got at the same price as the Beauty Junky ones. I am gonna have a great laugh while using it :P

Next I got this pretty cuff link bracelet in black and silver diamond studs. They shine soo much that it looks like real swarovski. They were available in many colors like blue, pink, complete black, complete white/silver etc. But I chose to for this 2 toned colored one. Plus it would go on practically anything!! It came for Dhs 10 ($2.7) whereas its original price was Dhs 20 ($5.4).

This is how it looks on my wrist with the heart closing and a tiny stud on the top. 

My final purchase of Iconic was this lovely red evening clutch. I had got the same clutch in pink 10 months back for Dhs. 44 ($11.9) after discount using my student id from splash to gift my friend for her birthday. and guess how much I got this one for? 
Dhs.20 ($5.4) !!

Obviously you can imagine how annoyed I must have got at gifting the same one with just different color to my friend double the price what I got for..Arghh

Anyway, this was the best bargain of all for me since I desperately needed a red clutch for my friend's wedding.

Do let me know what you think of the stuff I got :)

Oh Btw, one of my earliest blog commentors & a good friend through IMBB, Rads is giving away the following goodies & guess what it's international. Yayy!!
So, enter here asap as the giveaway ends 25th Jan!!

is ME!!! Yes. I abandoned this blog for 1+ month. Reasons ranging from dealing with personal stuff, to going for a short trip to India, from having my finals to attending one of my best friend's wedding; from my computer crashing down to losing all my files :( all in the short span of 1 month and 15 days!! 

ok enough ranting. Now I promise to blog on a regular basis or atleast I will try :)

Btw thanks for still following my almost dead blog and leaving such wonderful comments to lift my spirits!!

P.S. Thanks to all  those who left wonderful comments on my posts. I will get back to you guys asap.

Oh and I didn't get to wish you guys a Happy New Year!! May all your dreams come true this year :D
