Disquieting Design Toasted Marshmallow solid lotion


Disquieting Designs
Solid Lotion Bar in Toasted Marshmallow

Full size .75 oz- $7 (+ $1.50 S&H)

[beeswax, shea butter, safflower oil, fragrance]

As you recall, this company had a terrible run with their lip balms. Their Ink Schmear seems to be holding up well, but I won't post a review of that until a few more weeks. (Why you may ask. I feel that because this is meant to brighten my tattoo, I should give it about a months worth of time and applications to see its true potential and ability.) This is a sample lotion bar I received. Its scent is Toasted Marshmallow and how could I go wrong!?

This lotion bar smells good enough to eat. It does smell like a sweet gooey marshmallow, but there is also a hint of nuts in the scent. Don't worry about it being over powering. It isn't. Once you put it on your body the smell disperses and its just a splendid hint of sweetness.

It is easy to put on, just glide it over your skin. At firs their is a little resistance but by the second swipe you're skin is lubed enough to take more of this body balm.

I've tried other body balms/solid lotions before. Ones from stores such as involving the name "body," sephora and ulta. Now the solid lotions I have tried from said establishments contained not so nicely natural ingredients and left my skin oily, waxy, or both. (Yes, that is possible) This solid lotion does none of that. After you put it on, within minutes it is evenly absorbing into your skin, leaving it feel soft and supple. I just put some on my hand as part of the glide test and as i run my fingers over that spot it feels so soft.

I can't really describe how long this wears. It absorbs quickly (within 5 minutes) and at the end of the day I can tell exactly where I applied it, because the skin there is so soft and still smells great.

I have found putting this on my dry elbows to be great. Sometimes when I'm out or in a rush and my elbows feel icky, this is a great thing to keep in my purse. Its small, portable, and I can put it on without my hands getting slimy. Super rad is what I say!!!

Overall, this sample of the Toasted Marshmallow solid lotion is rocking. It isn't vegan, but it is a must have in a busy girl's purse. The price is a bit much, but this simple blend does wonders to your skin. And no, I do not recommend you use this as a lip balm. Even though the ingredients are similar and this works better than their actual lip balm, it's not really the same. Don't try it.

Rating: 4 outta 5
