Review time!

Since this summer seems to be intense all over the wonderful U.S of A, lotion is one of the things that you love to indulge in to calm the warmth on your skin. Therefore, I have bombard my beauty basket with about five new brands/types of lotions.

One of those lotions is from the moisturizing fanatics over at Vaseline's Intensive Care line. Its their Aloe Cool & Fresh light moisturizing lotion. Its engulfed with aloe vera and cucumber extract, which helps in adding a level of refreshing and cooling effects. 

I have only been using this particular lotion for a little over a week, but I have used it enough to gather enough info to give my last two cents.

The bottle says light, but I say otherwise. Its not creamy heavy, but its not light. The lotion tends to leave a slighty greasy afterthought on your skin, but that soon takes flight. Its takes a minute for your skin to absorb, so I advise you to wait a minute before you rest your skin on anything, especially your clothes! 

For those of you who turn your nose up at lotions that are infused with perfumes and scents, then this lotion is calling your name. I occasionally purchase a lotion based on smell opposed to effect, but not in this case. The smell of the aloe and cucumber is only super noticable for a few minutes until your skin decides to embrace it. Afterwards, the only time you can really smell it is if you press your nose on your  skin and take a deep breath. I don't know why someone would do that, but to each her own!

After all is said and done, I give this particular lotion a solid B! I am really not a big fan of the greasy feel, but it does what all lotions are suppose to do; moisturize! It does a great job at that and gives you a cooling effect in the process. Its perfect fit for the summer and the hot weather beaming outside.

BTW, Thanks Bree and Megan for the encouraging words and the knowledge! Mucho gracias, chicas!

Stay Stylish!
