These Magic Sticks are the nifty things around! I had never heard of lotion bars or sticks until I started this blog. Who knew lotion could be a solid?! Well, I'm glad it can be!
These Magic Sticks really are delightfully magical. A little goes a long way with these. They are great for your legs, arms, tummy, elbows, knees, and even to use on your feet! At first their glide is a bit stiff and ridged but once your body heat warms them up, they go on like butter. I found that you want to kind of round them your skin because if you build up the sides or they get uneven, they break off easily. They don't go on greasy or waxy, they soften right into your skin and it feels so silky and supple.
The scents I have are as follows:
Chamomile: I found this stick to be the driest one. You have to warm it up in your hands a bit prior to putting it on otherwise it flakes everywhere. The scent is so relaxing. I have found that when I have a head ache or stomach ache, putting this on is really comforting.
Pink Hydrangea: It is like walking into a botanical garden found at the George Eastman house. Delightfully floral and playful, yet somewhat Victorian in the subdued woody scent. It is invigorating and works wonderfully as its own perfume.
Sandalwood Vanilla: The best scent I have ever found in the world. It is warm and sugary. To be honest, I feel that a brown sugar cupcake would also work as another name for this scent. It is intoxicating. This one warms up the fastest as well.
Overall, these Magic Sticks are so convenient when you are on the go. The only trouble I have had is with pushing them up. If you push too hard they pop out, but if you don't push hard enough they don't move. But this is no biggie.

Samples:
Three 2oz containers: $6 (+$2.90 S&H)Full Size: 8 oz: $9.50 (+ $3.75 S&H)
There are a wide array of scents, primarily scrumptious food ones. I received Strawberries & Champagne. When Victoria's Secret came out with that scent in their body spray I dubbed it "SEX." So.... SEX is a great scent. It is light and sweet. It is more strawberry than champagne-y. When you put it on it feels a bit greasy but when you work it into your skin it has this really nice soft texture going. You really have to spread it out, so a little goes a long way. I took a tiny dab from the cap and was able to do the top part of my arm from my wrist to my elbow. WOW! After you put it on the scent lingers slightly. It is really nice. Especially if you want your skin feeling soft but also wanna put on perfume and don't want scents mixing. This is a great solution.
The only negative about this balm is the way it goes on. It is a lot of work to work it into your skin. This may be a plus to some people. Maybe it says this is a super thick lotion and you're getting a great coverage... it is body frosting this may be true. I don't know. I'm just not a super big fan of the consistency, however I cannot deny how moisturizing this lotion is.
Overall, this is a pretty great lotion. I would recommend the samples over the big container because you get more of a variety with scents and I bet you could mix a few to come up with something yummy!
