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

Boots Angel Rico Facial Polish Review

Retweet this button on every post blogger
you can make out how much i have used from the condition of the pack itself :P 

I'm a HUGE fan of Boot's products. Why?
Because it's a great drugstore brand & you get an amazing range of products (my fav being Soap & Glory and Natural Collection). I was shocked i couldn't find absolutely anything about this facial polish since Boots is such a famous drugstore brand. Its originally a UK brand but you do get most of their products everywhere including India (i saw in bombay not sure you get it in other places too).

Angel Rico Facial Polish is from the Carribean Cocktail collection. I got it in Peach & Apricot Kernel.
Price:- Dhs 10 (around Rs. 127 or 1.76 pounds)
Quantity:- 200 ML

Ingredients:- Aqua, Kaolin, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Extract, Parfum.

What it says on the pack?
Face to face with this Caribbean Cocktail facial polish, containing an exotic blend of softening Peach & smoothing Apricot Kernel to clarify your skin. Suitable for oily or combination skin.

What i like about this product?

*I have a combination skin & i feel my skin getting soft & smooth immediately after using it.
*It's basically like a face mask giving a glow to my skin instantly after usage.
*Works as a good facial exfoliator as well
*Works for normal to dry skin also (My mom who has a normal skin loves this product).
*Has a veryy slight peach smell which is not too overwhelming.
*I basically love the fact that i can see its results immediately therefore if i'm in a hurry to go somewhere & notice my skin is looking dull i can rely on this product to get my skin back on track :D
*Is supppperrr cheap. basically i got this because it was just for 10 bucks !! i wasn't expecting such great results for this price but this thing works wonders.


Verdict:- This is my HG facial scrub (that does not stop me from trying other :P) There's absolutely nothing that i don't like about it. I would recommend this product to everyone who can get hold of it. I will definitely buy it again if its being sold at the same price.
