Calgon Ageless Bath Body Scrub and Soak - Review



I have a confession to make. I am a scrubaholic. Any time I see a body scrub I have to buy it! Even though I know I could whip up some salt & oil in my kitchen and save some money. When I like a scrub I rarely buy it again because there are more for me to try! That being said this is my second jar of Calgon
Ageless Bath Body Scrub and Soak. Whew that is a long name! I found it at my local Target and was afraid they might not carry it anymore because it's been missing from the shelf for a few weeks. On my last shopping trip I saw one lonely jar sitting on the shelf. Needless to say I gladly rescued it. 

I love that it is scrubby and moisturizing without being heavy and greasy. I dislike body scrubs that leave your skin feeling like an oil slick. Being able to use it in the bath and shower is a huge plus in my book. Sure you can use any scrub in the bath, but again the oily type just make a ring in your tub. The one small complaint that I have is with the jojoba esters. They don't dissolve when the scrub is used so they end up all over my tub when the water drains out. It's a minor flaw and is not going to keep me from repurchasing the scrub.

Blue Jelly Samich


Today I have my first "jelly sandwich" to share with you. The results are soo pretty, but this technique makes for long drying time because of the multiple polish layers. I started out with two coats of Loreal "Waters Edge", followed by a layer of Kleancolor "Starry Blue", a layer of Revlon "Sheer Seafoam", and one last layer of a matte topcoat.
