Vanilla Dry Oil Body Mist
4 FL. OZ.

US $8.49 at J.R. Watkins[/url]


Watkins has always been known for outstanding vanilla products. Now, the calming aroma of natural vanilla is used to enhance a truly special line of body care products with skin-softening moisturizers and an exclusive blend of essential oils.

This rich, moisturizing spray leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Apricot kernel oil and vitamin E nourish skin with essential lipids and nutrients—and because the oil is quickly absorbed by the skin, it leaves a dry yet soft feel. With our exclusive vanilla fragrance.



REVIEW: This is an utterly amazing spray! It left a gorgeous sheen on my sun-parched arms, shoulders & legs without a single smidge of oily residue being left behind -- even on my fingers and palms of my hands. I don't know HOW on earth they do it but it moisturizes for 5+ hours without transferring to places (and fabrics) which you don't wish for it to wander upon. The Vanilla scent is totally addicting, without being overpowering or something that would attract the bees. It's a fresh, light very-vanilla-y aroma that your significant other will go gaa-gaa over. Outstanding price for a bottle that lasts and lasts. The quality is equally high -- I'd liken this line to the same quality as Kiehl's and a step or two above Burt's Bees, without being over-priced.

Peppermint Foot Cream (1 fl. oz.)
Vanilla Hand & Body Lotion (1 fl. oz.)




REVIEW: J.R. Watkins' makes a variety of amply packed samplers kits that were a total life-saver during our family's summer travels. These are the perfect way to develop a proper appreciation of the line's full range of products and are available in general (which is what we had too much fun trying out), shea butters, mini lotions, head-to-toe and mini-travel/shower versions. They pack so easily and did not break or smash up during all the air & transport frenzy. The products pamper, nourish, and are the ultimate escape once you've boarded off of a 5+ hour flight. Guaranteed to beat any blah-blah amenities your hotel might have left in your bathroom and helps make you forget how mad you were when the airline lost your luggage. :wink:

Peppermint Exfoliating Foot Scrub & Cream

New postby Judyr on Sun Aug 19, 2007 3:23 pm

Foot Scrub is a Gentle cleanser with aloe vera deep-cleans and moisturizes as fine pumice exfoliates dead skin cells. Peppermint oil tingles and stimulates, while our exclusive botanical blend tones and pampers well-traveled feet.

Foot Cream is A tingling burst of aromatic peppermint oil cools and revives tired, aching feet. A real treat that must be experienced!



I am quickly falling in love with this line. This foot scrub is really nice. It cleans my feet and there is fine pumice that takes all the dead skin off my feet. I really work this into my heels (the worse parts of my feet).

After using the Scrub I apply the lotion. It is a nice light lotion that really softens my feet. I like to use this a night after a long day on my feet. It really soothes them.
Both of these items smell awesome, just like peppermint. They really makes my feet feel like they are being pampered!

Both of these products come in much bigger bottles than what I usually get for the same price. The Foot Cream is an 11 oz bottle and the Scrub is a 10 oz bottle - just $9.99 for each. Far less expensive than I am used to paying.

And these will keep my dry feet at bay for the rest of the summer... and part of the winter :D

Can be purchased at J.R. Watkins

Peppermint Exfoliating Foot Scrub & Cream

I absolutely love this scrub and cream. I have very dry hard heals. I use the scrub at night when I take a shower than I use the cream in the morning before the socks go on.
The smell of these are just awesome, i really love love the smell. The scrub is really working on my heals with the pumice and I can feel the difference after the first use. It has just the right amount of beads in it. So it is not to harsh but perfect for getting the heal and feet clean and the dead dry skin off leaving my feet smooth, just perfect. I love the tingle sensation of the scrub and how clean my feet feel after using this.

I use the lotion during the day. You can use it either way but I love to use it daytime. I always have aching feet and it helps my aching feet all day long. The lotion keeps my feet moisturized. Oh my gosh and it feels like heaven putting it on. Very cooling tingling sensation.
My feet are looking so nice and my heals are really looking smooth and feel awesome.
I really am enjoying using these and now have my husband using them for his feet. As a man he really likes this and he just started using it and he has really bad cracked heals and I can see them starting to look nicer. Maybe i will touch them again soon :)
Form both of use this is a Image products

Vanilla Dry Oil Body Mist

New postby joan on Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:54 am

Vanilla Dry Oil Body Mist

I absolutely adore this scent, and I get lots of compliments from my hubby when I use this. Easy to use as it is a spray. This feels so good to put on, and leaves a beautiful light vanilla scent and it's not a heavy oil and not greasy. The scent does lasts on me. I like to spray it just about everywhere cause my body is soo dry right now. And I like to use it anytime of the day when I feel dry or just because I love the scent. A wonderful dry type of oil that leaves your skin so soft.
It soaks in and you don't have to worry about getting it on your clothes or even your linens. I can go sit on my leather couch with out it leaving marks on it.

I have been using this for some time now and .... I Love it!!
Being the Vanilla nut I am... this has a wonderful scent of rich vanilla. I spray it on before getting dress (all over my body) and I can put my clothes on it seconds. It dries so quickly. This is like a moisturizer in a spray bottle.. but better! I can still smell this hours and hours after putting it on. No need for perfume after using this! One thing that really impressed me was the price. Only $8.49 for this! It might not last me as long as the normal person.. as I love it and the smell and spray it all over :D Highly Recommend this!!

Vanilla Dry Oil Body Mist - I love this spray - it's not oily at all! After you spray on and rub in, your hand are not oily - and I didn't notice any residue on my clothes!
Has a great Vanilla scent that's light, not overpowering - Lauren & Shelby love this because it's not oily and they can't normally wear lotions (cause of gym)! All of their products are amazing!

Peppermint Exfoliating Foot Scrub & Peppermint Foot Cream
The foot Scrub and Cream are great to use after a LONG day - the exfoliating scrub does just that! exfoliates your feet - which I need! My heels are the worse - and they look great after using this products! Put on the foot cream after and put your feet up and relax - the peppermint makes your feet feel rejuvenated and cool!
