Hello dolls!! I hope the week has started off lovely for you!?! I thought it was about time I got some product reviews on the blog for you, my product drawer is over-flowing really with goodies that I've been using, so now that the light in my house is better, I'm going to bring you more of them. Today, I wanted to share this body lotion that I received from my dear friend Kim of A Very Sweet Blog, this Oat Milk lotion by Archipelago Botanicals (size 18fl. oz/532ml for $25) I used it all winter long. As you can see it's a big bottle and I was surprised to see it in my box when it arrived from Kim.
I first started applying this at night time, it's free from parabens & packed with nourishing dried milk solids and gentle oat proteins, there is also jojoba esters for a smooth, non-greasy application. It's very gentle as it hydrates and soothes. My skin felt great in the morning, very soft as if I had just applied it and also the scent still lingered which made me feel relaxed to wake up too. I had never even heard of this company before trying this product, but I would definitely try more from their range, the only sadness is that Archipelago Botanicals don't ship overseas at this time, but I did find some things on Ebay if you're willing to pay import duties & buy from an American seller OR like me, have a dear sweet marvellous fantastic friend who sends you beauty treats from America like Kim does, haha!! I've been using this for over a month now and I'm not even half way through the bottle, brilliant really, I'm a fan of this now! If you're able to try it - please do, they ship in the US and Canada :)
I gave Archipelago Botanicals Oat Lotion Milk a Sizzling Heart ♥ as I loved the lotion & my skin was left really soft, if they had stores or shipped here, I would try other products.

(Rating scale: Sizzling Heart - Go & buy it, Hot Hot Heart - It's good, but not perfect, Lukewarm Heart - there were issues, I might buy it again, Frozen Heart - Do not buy, it was terrible)
Happy Wednesday sweethearts,

P.S. I know this product is only able to be bought in America, but since a high majority of my readers are in America, I decided to do the review any ways...but don't worry for those of us who aren't in America, I have plenty more products for review that can be bought no matter where you live *wink*

i LOVE NATURAL beauty products like this.
ReplyDeleteNice review ♥
It looks fab! I love a lotion that is light, but still effective. Some lotions definitely have funny scents so it's nice to use one with a nice, clean scent. I always load up my suitcases with goodies from the US when I'm back! There are so many things that are already on my list and I will also send some to Kim as well!

Thank you..Happy day to you doll xo
DeleteDear Kizzy, this lotion sounds great, it's bad that it can be bought only in US. Anyways I love light textured lotions in summer, my skin becomes a bit oily especially on Tzone area and it needs a light weight moisturiser. Nice review honey! Wish you a lovely day. Kisses and hugs <3
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope they will consider opening their shipping to include all places, so everyone can try it, it's really lovely :)) Thank you..wish you a wonderful day. Kisses and hugs <3
DeleteI really like to taste it
ReplyDeleteHi Kizzy, too bad it's only available in the US (like so many other amazing products). I would have love to try the lotion. I have a oat soap that I love very much. Thanks for the get well wishes. I'm not feeling better yet. I guess I have a cold. I didn't have one the whole winter and now that it spring :D
ReplyDeletexx
I know...hopefully one day they'll expand their shipping and include overseas. You're welcome, I hope you get better soon doll xx

DeleteThis lotion sounds lovely and I really like the simple yet pretty packaging. I think I may need to track it down. Thanks for the review Kizzy!
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
Yes, you must track it down...you're welcome :) x
DeleteLooks fab and it's great to hear about the consistency. Most products are either too thick or too runny!

Yes, when there is no good consistency, the product gets wasted I think. x
DeleteI don't thing is possible to find here in Italy because it seems so good!
ReplyDeleteciao Kizzy
Have a great day xx
DeleteThat Archipelago Botanicals Oat Lotion Milk looks like it must feel wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I haven't taken very good care of myself and have rarely used skincare products though my skin would thank me if I did.
Since I live across the pond in the U.S. I really should try this product.
P.S.: Thank you for leaving that sweet comment on my blog. I'm following yours now :)

For some reason, when it says something about "milk" on a beauty product, I'm really drawn to it. I guess I get some sort of "this is soft and natural" feeling or something. Haha! And I DO like drinking milk (lactose free...). Cleopatra used to take baths in it you know... :) xoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me! Great review!
ReplyDeletekisses
Great review
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely
Cheers
Kim is so so sweet! Such great friendship you both share. And I love that this is jojoba in it. I sometimes add a little jojoba oil to my body lotions if it doesn't have already. I love that stuff!
ReplyDeleteCiao Kizzy, have a lovely weekend!!!
