Maybe Melvita

Every time I try a new body butter, lotion or balm I am crossing my fingers that I have found The One. That perfect concoction that smells like heaven, sinks in like nobody's business and  finally ends my flaky Michigan winter legs.

Melvita's APICOSMA Body Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm almost meets this criteria. The organic, patented mixture of three honeys- Thyme, Acacia and Orange Blossom- has a nice thick, creamy texture that works in quickly and and leaves skin feeling soft.  After a few days of continued use I conducted my winter skin black tights test to see how much dry leg powder flakies were left on the tights once taking them off. Sure, it's a tad gross, but I have mad dry skin! The results were much improved from my usual lotion, but not jaw-droppingly better. Also, I'm not a fan of the Orange Blossom scent. Maybe because it's a bit too summery for the middle of winter? With it's three honey mix I was hoping for something more soothing and warm.

Overall this is definitely a quality body balm that I would recommend to someone who enjoys a citrus scented beauty product. As for me, I'm still holding out for The One.

Tocca: Brigitte Crema Da Sogno

Oh, the creaminess!

To call this Tocca magic "lotion" would be an injustice.

It's like whipped butter for your skin, but doesn't leave you all oily and smelling like popcorn.

Thicker than whipped cream, but easy to apply.

The Brigitte scent is totally feminine & lovely, without being girly.

Moroccan rose and ginger are an exquisite combination.

I also love that it comes in an elegant glass jar, so I can get every last bit.

So wonderful on the skin and to the nose!

Use right after the shower for maximum moisturizing; I also use at night on my legs.

I am hooked!

Next stop: Cleopatra scented!
