BODY | Avon Skin So Soft Comforting Shea Collection

It's the last weekend in June and we can officially say hello to summer! My birthday is next weekend on Canada Day so even though I look forward to turning 35 I am also terrified. Moreso than when I turned 30. I think it's because now every ache and pain, I can't just dismiss. I am officially entering a zone where aches and pains in odd places and times DO matter! Wish me luck guys as I navigate this time in my life where I have to officially check a different age range box.

Though I have outgrown certain things in life, one thing that has remained constant is my love for the scent vanilla. As a kid I loved sniffing the extract before baking and when I discovered that The Body Shop had a Vanilla perfume it was my go-to. I wouldn't even wear it. I would just sniff it like aromatherapy! Earlier this year, Avon released the Skin So Soft Comforting Shea Collection which features vanilla wrapped up in sandalwood and musk and it smells just positively DIVINE.

The Hand Cream is my favourite out of the collection because it absorbs quickly and is non-greasy. I think now that a lot of us have desk jobs, hand creams that don't leave a residue are getting more and more important! One time, I decided to use cuticle oil and thought it was all absorbed until I started typing and all of my matte finish chiclet keys were shiny with oil.  Note that this is not paraben-free which I have often noticed is the case with very quick-absorbing hand creams like this one.

The Body Butter has the same delicious scent and has a very thick consistency which I would expect from a "butter". While this claims 48 hour hydration, I did not put this to the test as I like to have daily showers, but I CAN tell you that hydration lasts at least 8 hours and also absorbs fairly quickly without a greasy residue.

The Creamy Body Wash was probably the most so-so item of the collection not in terms of quality, but because I find it REALLY hard to get excited about Body Wash PERIOD. This smelled really nice, wasn't too thick in consistency and produced a decent lather. This body wash is paraben-free, but does contain petrolatum.

What I want is for Avon to come out with a fragrance of "Comforting Shea" because that it is what I am most in love with! I will have my fingers crossed!
