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.
