Tree Hut Body Scrubs

OH MY GOSH THESE ARE AMAZING.

ok, now that I have that out of my system, I can write a rational explanation for why these scrubs rock.

I picked the first one of these up at Wal Mart on a whim. I was in desperate need for a body scrub but absolutely refused to pay a ton of money at Bath & Body Works, especially because every review I read of their products is all over the place; some people love them, others act like it burned their skin off. So when I was wandering the beauty aisles and saw the tub of Tree Hut Sugar Shea Scrub for 5 bucks, I figured I had nothing to lose.

First I have to say that I love the way the Brazilian Nut smells. It's like coffee and chocolate mixed together with some kind of earthy smell that I can't place [I guess that's the "nut" part.]

I recently bought the Coconut Lime and was once again pleasantly surprised by the smell. I love coconut smells [though I hate coconut flavored things,] and the scrub had a hint of coconut, but it was more tangy and limey than anything.

The consistency in both is pretty thick, but totally manageable, and it lacks the gross oily quality of a lot of scrubs out there. It washes off fairly easy and doesn't leave a greasy residue all over the shower. The grains are just the right size so they exfoliate you without scratching or feeling too rough.

The best part is that the bottle lasts a long time considering its size. I thought I'd use it up in two weeks, but I've had the Brazilian Nut for about a month and it's still halfway full. Granted, I don't exfoliate nearly as much as I should, so an everyday user would probably go through it much quicker. However, you don't need a lot of product to get the job done.

Tree Hut products are available at Wal Mart for about $5-6 each, which is a steal when it comes to scrubs.
Ulta also sells them for the same Price as Wal Mart.
I've also seen them at Amazon for up to $20 [which I find a bit ridiculous.] But it's worth going on the Amazon site just to read the reviews, everyone loves these!

Looking on the Tree Hut Shea site, I found that they have a ton of other products that I'm now dying to try. Those other flavors of scrubs look amazing. [Flavors??... is that the right word?] They also have body lotions, washes and butters. Hopefully, Wal Mart gets these in soon.
