been missing + carrots

I've been missing since I am getting slaughtered by mid-terms. Oh the joy of being a college student that hates school right now. I should be posting more soon though after this week since my mid-terms are this week pretty much.

Anywho...a while back I purchased some YES TO CARROTS products since they were BOGO 50% off at Walgreens. I've been using them ever since just to give you MY verdict. I know it's worked great for others but for me....well, just read on :]

C is Smooth
Body Moisturizing Lotion

This product unfortunately is not my favorite from the four that I bought. It actually made me more itchy...It did take away dryness, but not for a long amount of time like my H20+ Moisturizing lotion. The scent reminded me of baby powder, which was good since I thought it was going to smell weird because of the carrots. I had to constantly reapply the lotion, but I DO have pretty dry skin...*sighs. Other than that, this lotion only gets a
2.5/5 for me. I would not purchase this again.

Carrot Rich Shower Gel

Again, this is not one of my favorite products. I used this a week after I started using the lotion and it calmed down the itchyness I got from the lotion. This did not break me out and it had a sweeter smell than baby powder. It did not leave me skin feeling smooth like my Olay Body Wash that I normally use. Because this product did not make me itchy, it gets:
3/5. I would not buy this again.

C Loves Your Hair
Pampering Carrot Juice Shampoo

This product was actually gentle on my hair. It left it pretty smooth after about a week of usage. It has a nice smell to it and it hydrated my hair. It has a fun orange color to the shampoo, and I would actually purchase this again, but probably with at least a BOGO 50% off so I could get the conditioner with it. This product has a pretty small bottle compared to most shampoos...they should make a bigger bottle...this product gets a:
4/5 I would repurchase this again.

C is for Conditioner
Pampering Hair Mud Conditioner

I love this product!! It has got to be my favorite from the four I bought. This actually does deep condition and it works great with the shampoo!! It has a similar sweet scent like the shampoo and it has a pale orange color for the product. It feels really soft on my hair and I noticed it has made my scalp less itchy. I also tried this with my Garnier Fructis shampoo and that's how I know it will still work without the shampoo. This product is a bit pricey for the price so it gets:
4.5/5 I would repurchase this again!!

More updates will come as soon as school calms down!! Andy needs to send me the other pictures he took when I did a couple of fotds...Thanks for reading!!

crazy for carrots!!

I was reading Mel's blog [click me!!], and she bought some Body Moisturizing Lotion by Yes to Carrots. She said it smelled like one of her H20+ products, and it was her new HG lotion...so knowing that she liked H20+ [and I am a huge fan of their lotions], I decided to look into the product.

Coincidentally, my dad needed something at Walgreen's and yes Mel, it is BOGO 50%!! Yay!! I couldn't find the body lotion anywhere but they did have other products such as shampoo, conditioner, body mist, hair masks, face creams, and shower gel. The sales associate was really nice and offered to call a nearby store and they had two of the lotions left!! So the other lady put them on hold for me, but in the meantime I found one of the packs that came with the shampoo and you got the body gel for free...it only cost $7.99!! I got the conditioner as well and rushed over to the other store a few blocks down and picked up my two body moisturizing lotions.

I decided to try the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, because my scalp has been really dry lately and if their lotion can make you have soft skin...then maybe the hair products will do the same for my scalp and dry hair [I use hot tools on my hair almost every day].

The scent of the lotion somewhat reminds me of baby powder...but not entirely. It's not a bad smell though!! I don't smell like carrots...lol.

Grabbed a couple of THE FACE SHOP MASKS since they were 2 for $5...why not try? I got the pearl one for brightening and a raspberry and strawberry one for brightening and aging. I love masks :]

The lotion has a pump!!


Compared to my H20+, you get a little more product for a better price!! I hope this can become one of my HGs as well!! I do love the smell of my H20+ though...



Until next time!!
