Hey Youtube World! It's me, Evelyn. And this is the last video of 2013!
*gunshot*
We're ending off the year with a #BGBB product review! #BGBB stands for #BlackGirlBeautyBrand.
If you don't know, now you know -- read the video description box for once in your life.
So we're gonna wrap up the year with
TEE: Hi my name is Teesha, also known as Tee. I am the owner and creator of Reciprocitee
Natural Body Products.
First product is the lip balm. I usually use the EOS (Evolution of Smooth) lip bally balls.
Those run about $3 something, so the fact that this is $4 isn't too much of a reach
for my brain cells.
There's two flavors - lavender and peppermint. I don't really know which one I got. I can't
really like tell you if it's peppermint or lavender. I'm thinking it's lavender cuz I
feel like I would know if something was peppermint. It's not over the top flavor or fragrance.
So if that irritates yo lippity lips, then you will be happy with the fact that it's
not very strongly scented. It does smell like all the oils and the butters that are in it.
Cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and other things like such as. You know how you apply
lip balm like this? For this, just like one quick swipe and yo lips is slick. Like you
just ate a two piece at Popeyes. A lil swipe and you are rett to go. I like my lip balms
to be a little bit more solid, not as easily meltable on the hotness of my lips. Ummm.
Uhhhhh. I'm feeling like a 3.75 out of 5 skin cells. it's just the consistency that I look
for in lip balms.
Next product is the Tropical Nectar Soap Bar. This is actually the first time I've ever
used a soap bar for my skin. That's gonna make reviewing it hard because I have nothing
to compare it to. It smells really good. It doesn't smell artificially sweet like "m a
n g o". It has orange granules -- did I read that right? It has orange granules and candelilla
flower petals. It didn't leave my skin feeling stripped or like *squeaky sound*. That's because
it is sulfate free and detergent free. You don't really need to be washing the largest
organ of your body with the same thing that you remove dirt and leftover lasagna from
a pot from. Never the two shall meet. This is like a fluid review for this particular
product. 4 out of 5 skin cells.
Next product I received from Reciprocitee Natural Body Products is a Himalayan Pink
Salt Scrub. I've never had a salt scrub before. I am a sugar scrub aficionado. It says you
can use it on both dry and wet skin. You know I like to use scrubs on both dry and wet skin.
For me, it is so rich with the coconut oil that I prefer to use it on dry skin. If I
put it on wet skin, the coconut oil kind of steals the show and the salt is like "what?
what are we doing here? what am I supposed to be scrubbing?" because the coconut oil
is all everywhere, so I do prefer to use this on dry skin and scrub-a-DUB-dub.
It left my skin so soft. If you are not a fan of coconut oil, don't - you not, you not
-- it smells like coconut oil. So if you don't like the smell of coconut oil, I'm telling
you right now it is coconut oil. 5 out of 5 skin cells.
Last product is the body butter. I got the scent Tropical Nectar to match the soap. And
I will tell you that I don't really smell anything per se, I just smell shea butter.
If you don't like the smell of shea butter, like it's all in my throat right now like,
it hit my sinuses. So if you don't like the smell of shea butter, you might not like at
least this scent because it's not masking the smell of shea butter at all. Entyways!
Very whipped. It does contain aloe vera, but it's not the first ingredient. I don't know
if that still makes it a moisturizer, but you know -- I'm just a person who makes Youtube
videos. I'm not a scientist.
It's so rich and oily that if put it on my hands, this would melt just from the heat
of my hand. All of this could just on my entire arm. Do you see that? You see that! You see
I'm getting shinty right before your eyes. If your skin's just a little bit damp, younawwwmsayin,
then you put this on there? You be good to go. You'll be greased up to the maximum. As
far as the price goes, the fact that it is a pound of shea butter for that price do make
me feel a little bit better. Seeing a number like that, you know, I'd have to do some calculations
and see if the products I already purchase would add up to that price if I bought them
in a size like this younawwwmsayin so. I give it a 4 out of 5 just because I'm not a fan
of the pungent shea butter fragrance that comes through despite the fact that it is
the tropical nectar fragrance. So those are my reasons and I'm sticking to them. Dangit,
I'm just a girl!
If you're going to buy anything, my personal suggestion is the scrub #1, and then #2 is
the soap!
I do have a coupon code for you guys in the event that you did wish to purchase something
off of my words, but you don't have to take my words! There's also another video. I know
that NaturallyNellzy did a review of Reciprocitee a couple months back maybe? I don't know.
I'll link that in the atmosphere and also in the video description box so that you can
watch many reviews before you decide to put yo monies toward something.
So here's the coupon, and it is live for 7 days. All that information will be in the
video description box. Thanks so much to Tee of Reciprocitee for sending me these goodies.
I appreciate them, and I will use them and I will stay greased up, scrubbed down, soaped
up, lips lookin glossy. I'll see you in 2014 sometime on the Internet somewhere. Bye!
