Review: Optrex Eye Drops


Contains: Distilled witch hazel and B.P.C 13.0% v/v

Directions: Gently squeeze 1 or 2 drops into each eye.

This stung my eyes like crazy! Instead of soothing dryness or irritation, it made my eyes tear even more.

Definitely will not repurchase!

Review: The Body Shop Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub


What it claims (from the
website):

Prepare to bare! Intensely exfoliating volcanic rock granules help to slough away rough patches of hardened skin, to leave feet femininely soft, smooth and freshly fragrant. Perfectly prepared for those strappy summer sandals!

Instructions:

Massage in circular movements over wet feet and wash off with warm water.

Price:

$21.90 for 100ml

Does it deliver?

This is a lovely scrub. It's gritty enough to slough off dry scales on my feet and shins. The peppermint oils leave my tired muscles feeling cool, taking the soreness away making them feel light and relaxed. I use this once every week, mostly on Sundays (it's the day I set aside time to pamper myself with a DIY spa).

After the scrub, I'll file the heels of my feet using a foot file to get rid of hardened skin and cracks. To top it off, I'll slap on some body lotion. My legs are left feeling silky smooth! I look forward to having my "pedicure" every Sunday!

Some days I even use this as a body scrub on the back of my arms where I get tiny bumps. It works that way too!

Will I repurchase?

Definitely a huge yes! I've already ran out of it!
