Fall Product Review: Carol's Daughter Body Butters

What They say: (About Almond Cookie) “Cocoa butter moisturizes skin with antioxidant properties. Shea butter, which is rich in fatty acids, is renowned for its moisturizing properties. Almond, vanilla and sandalwood come together in this warm and sweet scent. Almond Cookie Body Butter imparts a beautiful shine to dull skin.” (About Jamaican Punch) “Cocoa butter moisturizes skin with antioxidant properties. Shea butter, which is rich in fatty acids, is renowned for its moisturizing properties. Fruits, flowers and spices kissed with vanilla and laced with musk, create this delicious concoction. Jamaican Punch Body Butter imparts a beautiful shine to dull skin.”

Toya’s Take: I am a huge lover of Carol’s Daughter and have been for a while, so I was more than happy to test their new body butters. I applied the body butters after showering, when my skin was still damp. First, I was really happy with the size of the tin – since it only takes a bit of the body butter to moisturize, the product will last a long time. Also, I love that Carol’s Daughter includes a little bit of “decoration” in each tin – an almond in Almond Cookie (of course – though I would have been happier with a cookie) and a slice of dried apple with Jamaican Punch. Carol’s Daughter always adds a little something extra in each product, which I think is so cool and makes me want to reorder every time – it’s little touches that keep companies in the forefront of my mind and make me want to give them my business over and over.

Both body butters work equally well. As a woman with dry skin, I really love this product – it starts out hard, but softens under the heat from your hands and liquefies. Once applied, your skin takes on this beautiful gleam, but it absorbs almost instantly, so you’re not left with greasy shine. I loved both scents – Almond Cookie is soft and sweet and can be used even with a perfume, since it’s not overpowering. Jamaican Punch is a much heavier fragrance – in fact, I think it smells like potpourri, but I like it!

Retail price: $18 (Carol's Daughter or Sephora)

Ratings:
Almond Cookie -
Jamaican Punch - (just because the scent is a bit stronger and might be too much for some).
