$5 for three .75 oz jars of your scents of choice (+ $2 S&H)
(I think I paid $5 for the five .4 oz jars)
Some great scents to choose from too!

These little jars have gone a long way. For samples they are a great value and great way for a buyer to smell and try new scents. The following are what I chose and tried.
Lettuce: When you first smell it in the jar it does not smell all that crisp and refreshing but when you apply it, there is this wonderful fresh and lightly floral scent. It is succulent and clean. Very impressive. I found this a great and relaxing balm to put on when I got out of the shower and was going to bed.
Mango Sorbet: Of course I would pick the mango scent. It is very very sweet and mango-y. I loved it, but it was not an every day lotion because of how strong the scent was. When I was going out to the art gallery I found that this lotion complimented my Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B perfume very well. It is mouth watering though. YUM!
White Tea & Ginger: I thought this would be an interesting Asian inspired scent. It has the bite of the ginger when you smell it in the jar but when you put it on, it mellows out nicely to high light the scent of the tea. It is a very earthy scent. Something that could be used for everyday wear without using perfume.
Bamboo: Here I go again with the Asian love. It is a crisp scent, light but sweet. It seems to have some wood undertones and when you apply it, there is a warm and sweet scent. I wore this a lot. It was the first I finished because the scent just went so great with my everyday life.
The final scent I got was Cherry Blossom (yes more Asian inspired smells). I passed this one on to JB for her comments and concern. She has quite the tale to tell about this whipped body creme.
The Cherry Blossom is a great lotion and a great...lip balm, if you'll humor me. I discovered this when I was given the product to test. The conversation went something like this:
Miss Beauty Fiend: Here, I got this to review for the blog...
Me: Mmmm, lip stuff! Hey, it looks like lotion! (applies to lips)
MBF: Umm...it's not for your lips, but ok.
You do have to admit that these little pots look like there could be lip balm in them. My over-eagerness led to the discovery that applying this lotion to your lips makes them ridiculously soft and smooth. And it works right away, unlike most lip balms, which you have to rub in and allow time to soak into your lips. I wouldn't put it on right before eating or lick it too much though, because it tastes like...well, you know. Lotion.
The scent is also fan.tas.tic. Very sweet and fresh and clean-smelling, like it has a yummy cherry ice cream sort of smell (does ice cream have a scent?), but it's floral at the same time. I found myself opening the jar just to smell it.
As a lotion, I found that the scent lasts about three hours. It's strong enough that it could definitely be used as a perfume on it's own. It's a sweet smell, but also sophisticated enough that you could wear it to a wedding or something. It works great on softening your skin. I have really dry hands in the morning, so I put it on then, and it was wonderful.
These whipped body cremes, or in other words, lighter lotions, are great. They are non-greasy and absorb quickly. Their lotions are sophisticated and can be worn alone with the scent acting as a perfume. Looking at the new packaging, you get more which is awesome and the labels are brighter than the ones in the picture above. The only negative thing is the fact that there are parabens in these. Some people may not be all that excited about that, but these are VEGAN!! So there are some bonus points. Its a personal choice, but I think these whipped body cremes and a must try. The scents alone are just phenomenal.
I did not experience any redness or sensitivity to these cremes. I have uber-sensitive skin and often times fragrances are a source of irritation for me. However, these lotions left my skin feeling soft, quenched and fresh. No irritation at all.
Overall, these whipped lotions are a great buy. Inexpensive and they go a long way, and I'm sure they'd last longer now being in the container almost twice the size of when I ordered mine.
