My Review:

The hand soap is rich, creamy, luxurious and simple to use.

I am a fan of EcoStore products- they are all natural, eco-friendly and work fabulously.

I also love that EcoStore USA's headquarters are close to me right here in Michigan. They even sell some products at the Michigan grocery chain, Meijer.

The only thing I didn't like about this product was that the scent was not strong enough. It smelled "white" but not necessarily like coconut or vanilla. I expected the coconut aroma to be stronger. I have used the Desert Essence coconut hand wash and that was very coconutty- that's what I expected from this.

I would love this hand wash even more if the coconut vanilla scent was stronger- yet still natural.

But as is it's a good hand wash to use because I know it's not filled with hardsh or toxic ingredients.

Loving Belli's All Day Moisturizing Lotion

I received several Belli products to review and the one I am loving most of all is the All Day Moisture Body Lotion.

It goes on smooth and creamy without being greasy and has a wonderful fresh and clean lemon scent. I adore this aroma. It smells so good.

The lotion itself is wonderful too.

I've been having itchy dry skin even after applying lotion but this lotion by Belli has left my skin hydrated and itch free- even on dry elbows and heels.

Here's the description of the lotion from the Belli site:

All Day Moisture Body Lotion deeply moisturizes, comforts and soothes dry, itchy skin. Features the essential oil of lemon, which is known for its uplifting qualities and aroma-therapeutic ability to calm upset stomachs. Chamomile softens and refreshes.
