A MAC HK Tote Bag! :) Back in Feb I was bummed when I did my MAJOR MAC HK haul and didn't know about the bags. Mai being the generous soul she is, said she had an extra one lying around, and that she'd send it to me!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH MAI!! You are truly one that inspires me with your courage, strength, love, and beauty!

The last, but not the least, love that came in for me, was from my very own "Popolo" Kendall! She said she wanted to send me a "little" thank you for gifting her with some Hurricane Popcorn. Little my ass! But how cute are the pics she had before the addresses?! Hawaii HK!

REVIEW: Yes To Carrots C Through The Dry Spell Body Butter

Even though I have Oily/Combo skin on my face, the skin on my body tends to be really dry. So I picked this up last Sunday since it was on sale at Target for $11.99, reg price is $13.99 I think. This body butter moisturizes great! It made my skin feel so soft & hydrated! There are some downsides though, it's got a greasy feel to it until it completely absorbs in, and the smell is kinda off to me, but you get used to it. The BF is even using this on his arm, since he's getting a sleeve tattoo done in sessions.

Here's what YESTOCARROTS.COM says:
C Through the Dry Spell Deliciously Rich Body Butter
250ml - 8.45 fl.oz

Suffering from very dry skin and just don't know how to keep it nourished? You will jump up and down with joy once you try C Through the Dry Spell Deliciously Rich Body Butter.
C Through the Dry Spell is an amazing revitalizing body treatment for very dry skin, with an immediate and long lasting moisturizing effect.

Key Ingredients:
Shea Butter, rich in vitamins A and E, improves skin softness and suppleness which makes it ideal for dry or sensitive skin care.
Ingredients List:
Water (Aqua), Dead Sea Water (Maris Aqua), Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate, Algae Extracts (Rhodella, Dunaliella , Spirulina), Daucus Carota (Carrot) Juice, Daucus Carota (Carrot) Seed Oil, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Juice, Silt (Maris Limus), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Juice, Ipomoera Batatas (Sweet Potato) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice, Fragrance (Parfum), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Niacin, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Peel Extract.

PROS:

• Great price, even better when on sale! ;)
• Moisturizes really well! My skin feels soo soft after it absorbs in, and the next morning too!
• Good size for the $. It's quite a large tub!
• Paraben Free
• All NATURAL from what I could see in the ingredient list

CONS:

• Slight greasy feel until product is completely absorbed
• Scent is a little off to me. Though the BF & his mom both don't have a prob with it. So maybe it's just me! LOL! It's almost like a powdery scent but not quite. You get used to it after a while though. In the beginning I would just lightly spray on some body spray after applying the body butter.
• Tub could be considered unsanitary. I just use a MU Spatula or a small clean spoon to scoop out the product.

Overall I would def purchase this product again. It really does moisturize well, and that's what you buy it for! LOL!
