lotion Options

[brooklyneast05]

i was thinking that i don't understand why lotion costs so much. i was looking at it yesterday and most of it cost like 7-15 bucks. i've gotten the expensive stuff before and i've never been able to tell any difference between it and walgreens 99 cent aloe vera stuff i don't think.


they tryin to play 's
99 cents takes care of my ashy self just fine



why do you think it costs more? do you see a difference? how much does your cost? what do you use? unless you're male then i probably don't care that much what you use, but you can tell me anyway just for kicks. i wanna know how many people buy expensive stuff vs not.

^ Agreed with the more hydrating part. Plus, cheaper lotions tend to feel more greasy and I LOATHE that feeling, especially on the face.

yeah i agree with you there. i don't use the 99 cent lotion on my face. i don't care to spend 20 or 30 dollars for something for my face since shaving is a bitch for me, but i can't really bring myself to spend 20 bucks to moisturize my elbow. i use this junk and it seems to make my face not dry or oily either

Body Shop is not nearly as olfactorily oppressive at Bath and Body Works.

And the body butter I had lasted a good... three months? I got it in late December and I just ran out last week.

And if you're looking for natural stuff, the place I intern for uses all natural shea butter, no additives, not nearly as processed, since processing takes out most of the butter's benefits. It's pretty pricey, but it all goes to a good place. </plug>

And ebay's World of Good is a good place to look, as well as Lush.

i agree about bath and body works

Careful with Lush though. Everything's natural and it also means that everything has an expiry date (usu. less than a month) and some stuff should be kept in the fridge...which means you'd probably have to purchase more often, which is just a giant hassle to me.

Plus, more so than Body Shop and Bath and Body Works, Lush just makes me sick to the stomach whenever I pass it.

<-- Is okay with synthetic ingredients if it means satisfying her lazy self lol.

yeah i'm too lazy to put lotion in the fridge or worry about it expiring too.
