Sorry I have not blogged in awhile! I've been away the last two weekends which made it tough to blogged. Now I'm back and I will try my best to blog more often. :)

I've been using a mixture of many Aveeno body lotions the last several months. I think it's time to review one of them.

Ingredients:

Thoughts: Out of the three body lotion I received, I was most excited to try this one because it was a fruity scent! If you don't know me, I tend to go for fruity smell over any other smell like floral. It just smells better or at least to me. :) With this lotion, I smell grapefruit more so than the pomegranate. I hardly smell pomegranate. It has a very sour smell to this lotion. I tend to not like sour taste, but the smell isn't bad at all. I actually like the sour scent! I also agree with the description "the energizing citrus scent invigorates your senses." You can definitely smell the lotion while you're putting it on. I think it's best while you're putting it on after your shower especially in the morning. :)

The consistency of the lotion looks thick, but it's actually a lot more creamier than I thought. If you have really and I mean really dry skin, it'll take couple usage before it moisturizes your skin. If you have semi-dry skin, then this lotion is great! When I first used this lotion, I had really dried skin. The first usage it helped, but I felt some dryness. The second usage my skin was on top shape. This lotion is best after the winter weather to spring weather.

I also like the packaging of the lotion. It makes it easier to carry with you. It came in handy during my weekends out of town! I did not have to worry about it exploding in my baggage.

Pros:
* Aveeno; a brand that uses natural ingredients.
* Convenient to carry.
* Comes in a squeezable tube.
* Lid does not easily flip open.
* Dominant scent is grapefruit.
* Scent invigorates your senses.
* Creamier consistency; semi-thickness.
* Moisturizes semi-dry skin.

Cons:
* Cannot smell pomegranate.

Would repurchase: Yes.
