Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “cashmere snowflake lotion” thing pop up all over the place. Finally, I caved and decided to see what all the fuss was about. I went down to the local Bath & Body Works – you know, that place that always smells like a candy explosion – and picked up a bottle.
First off, the packaging was pretty nice. It’s got this wintery vibe, all snowflakes and whatnot, which I guess is fitting for the name. But let’s be real, it’s what’s inside that counts, right?
I opened it up as soon as I got home, eager to give it a try. Squeezed a little onto my hand, and right away, I noticed the texture. It’s pretty thick, but not in a greasy way, more like…velvety? Yeah, that’s the word. It felt luxurious, kinda like those fancy creams you see in magazines.
Rubbed it into my skin, and it absorbed pretty quickly, which was a relief. No one wants to be walking around feeling like a greased-up chicken, am I right? The scent was the next thing that hit me. It’s hard to describe, but imagine a warm hug on a cold day. It’s got this cozy, comforting smell that’s not too overpowering but definitely noticeable.
- Smell good
- Absorbed quickly
- Feel great
Used it for a few days now, and I gotta say, my skin feels pretty darn soft. Even my elbows, which are usually drier than the Sahara Desert, are feeling smoother. I applied it after my shower, and the scent lingered for a good while, which was a nice bonus.
My conclusion?
It lives up to the hype. It’s a solid moisturizer that smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling pampered. It’s definitely a treat-yourself kind of lotion. If you’re looking for something to keep your skin hydrated during these colder months, or just want to smell like a cozy winter dream, I’d say give it a shot.
Just be prepared to want to buy everything else in the cashmere snowflake line, because now I’m eyeing that shower gel and body cream, oh my wallet… I tested, I loved and now I shared with you all my experience, hope this helps someone.
