Yum, yum, yum…
I’ve always loved the smell of almonds. Just the other day I went through a phase where I was obsessed with eating sugared ones and had to wean myself off them, for the sake of my ass, due to their crazy kiljoule content… Merrily, I can still sort of revel in almond madness thanks to Good Earth’s Almond Milk range, exclusive to Clicks.
The range includes a body wash, body scrub, body lotion, body butter, hand wash and hand & nail cream. I like that it’s competitively priced, ranging from R26,99 for the hand & nail cream to R42,99 for the body butter. It also scores a few points in the green department as it’s made in South Africa using sustainable sweet almond oil and the packaging if fully recyclable.
Of the three goodies I got to try; the scrub, hand cream and body lotion, I liked the last two the most. They’re nice and light and sink into your skin in a flash, leaving behind a gentle, unobtrusive almond scent that’s not going to compete with your perfume. All three make use of hydrating sweet almond oil in a good concentration (i.e. it’s not listed stone cold last in the ingredients list, meaning it doesn’t contain a mere ineffective dash) as well as skin softening urea and antioxidant vitamin E.
As for the scrub… the only reason I’m not mad about it is because I like my scrubs to be ‘scrubby’. This one’s acrylic little ‘grainies’ are so few and far in between that there’s no way it’s going to exfoliate your skin in any way that’s visible. It does, however, make for a delish-scented body wash.
If you like almonds too, sugared or otherwise, keep an eye out for these wallet-friendly darlings on the shelves at Clicks. Oh! And while you’re there don’t forget to stock up on shampoo and conditioner; they’re running some seriously good specials right now until the 4th of March. To give you an idea, you can save R10 on each bottle of Schwarzkopf Gliss, snap up any two L’Oreal Elvive shampoo or conditioners and save R21,98 per set or save R20 on any 750 or 900ml TRESemme shampoo, conditioner or 3-in-1.
Nice… very nice…
Lipgloss is my Life 
The hand cream smells incredible. I think it has a different scent to the other products. 🙂
Feel the same way about the scrub. It’s more of a shower oil/body polisher which I do love, but I would use a proper coarse scrub to really smooth my skin.
