I've just finished another jar of Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub, and I am completely satisfied yet again! I've come to realize an effective body scrub can make all the difference when it comes to shaving. Until about a year ago, I never used an exfoliator when shaving. Body scrubs are beneficial because they help to smooth skin before shaving and exfoliate off any dead skin.
After trying a few different brands, I quickly realized even drug store scrubs can be quite pricy (especially during the summer months when I'm shaving more often). Originally I was using Shea Moisture but with the jar packed with excess oil rather than actual body scrub, and at $9.99 for a 12 oz. jar, that didn't last long. Not long after, I discovered the Tree Hut line at my local Harmon Health and Beauty.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since it was so low cost and I had never heard of the brand before. Tree Hut scrubs retail for only $6.99 for 18 oz. and there are four scents available (Tropical Mango, Almond & Honey, Coconut Lime and Brazilian Nut). Once I started using it, I was instantly hooked. The jar wasn't filled with oil, and the scrub itself had a wonderful consistency that wasn't overly rough on my skin. To top it all off, the scent was fabulous! (My favorite is Tropical Mango.). It's so fresh, clean and fruity-smelling that people always ask what I'm wearing after my shower!
Be sure to check out Tree Hut Scrubs if you haven't already! They're available at the following retailers: Harmon, Target, Kmart, ULTA and WalMart.

No matter what type of skin you have: normal/dry, combo/oily (or anything in between) a good moisturizer should be a staple of your beauty routine. That's why I was excited to try the Elf Lotion Wipes. (These were an item I received for free in an Elf Mystery Bag a few months ago.) When I first saw the packaging of this product, it immediately reminded me of the Elf Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Clothes (a product I absolutely love), so I assumed the two products would be pretty similar.
Unfortunately, I was totally disappointed with this item. The cloths were drenched with a liquidy type of lotion. It turned out to be nothing more than a huge mess. I was actually able to squeeze lotion out of this cloth with little effort. Once I wiped the cloth all over my face, my skin was soaking wet and I ended up having to massage the "lotion" into my face after using the cloth and wipe my hands off afterwards.
It seemed to take FOREVER to use up these wipes. I was relieved when I finally got to the bottom of this package. Another thing to keep in mind with this item: the Lotion Wipes are the same price as the Makeup Remover Cloths ($3), but the Removers come with 20 wipes, while the Lotion Wipes only include 15 wipes. I understand $3 isn't much money, but considering the great value Elf has on other items, this seems like a bit of a rip off. I would suggest avoiding these at all cost.
