CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Caprina By Canus Body Lotion And Hand Soap Review & Giveaway!!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

 

Canus is a won­der­ful Cana­dian com­pany that offers a wide range of body prod­ucts for the entire fam­ily. What is so dif­fer­ent about Canus com­pared to many other body prod­uct com­pa­nies is that their prod­ucts are made with fresh goat’s milk. All of Canus’ soaps and body washes are phos­phate free and biodegrad­able. Their body lotions con­tain no parabens. Their entire line of prod­ucts can very con­ve­niently be pur­chased at major retail­ers, gro­cery stores and phar­ma­cies near you. 

Fresh Goat’s milk:

Hydrates, Regen­er­ates
and Protects

Goat’s milk has unique prop­er­ties which are acclaimed across the world. Since its mol­e­c­u­lar struc­ture is sim­ple and short, it facil­i­tates the cream’s absorp­tion by the skin, con­tribut­ing to a deep and extended hydra­tion. It enables the restruc­tura­tion of the hydroli­pidic film giv­ing it back its sup­ple­ness and its elasticity

I have found since enter­ing my 40’s my skin does not stay as soft or sup­ple as it did  in my younger years. Liv­ing in Canada with the dry, cold win­ters does not do much to help your skin either. I have learned that you need great prod­ucts keep your skin healthy and glow­ing. When Canus offered to let me try out a few of the Fresh Goat’s Milk prod­ucts I totally jumped at the chance. I tested the orig­i­nal for­mula, olive and wheat pro­tein, shea but­ter and orchid oil in both the body lotion and the hand soap.

 Nor­mally I do not use a bar soap because the major­ity leave my skin feel­ing very dry, I opt for liq­uid soaps instead.  After using the Cap­rina soaps for only a few short weeks I am totally sold because my skin feels so soft after using it. I have very dry, cracked skin on my elbows and my hands always feel so dehy­drated and flaky. I was look­ing for­ward to try­ing out the Cap­rina body lotions to see if it would work on those two major prob­lem areas. The body lotions were not greasy or oily and left my skin feel­ing per­fectly mois­tur­ized and hydrated all day long. I did not have to keep apply­ing the body lotion which means a lit­tle goes a long way….and who does not want to get the most for their money! I am happy to report that this is the best body lotion and hand soap that I have used in a very long time. I can’t wait to go to my local retailer so I can pur­chase a few of the other Cap­rina Fresh Goat’s Milk prod­ucts and try them out as well.

Make sure you check out their entire range of prod­ucts includ­ing;  Mois­tur­iz­ing Clay Masks, Body­Wash, Foam­ing Milk Bath, Antibac­te­r­ial Liq­uid Hand Soap, Lip Balm and Ultra Mois­tur­iz­ing Wipes to name just a few. You can also get Cap­rina Fresh Goat’s Milk prod­ucts on Well.ca, the pric­ing is rea­son­able with the Cap­rina by Canus Fresh Goat’s Milk Body Lotion in the 75ml (the size I reviewed) for only 4.39 each and the Cap­rina By Canus Goat’s Milk Soap for only 1.99 each. You can’t go wrong with the qual­ity of this prod­uct or the price!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Green Tangerine Review & Giveaway!!

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

 

 

Green Tan­ger­ine is one of my newest dis­cov­er­ies and I am so happy that I found this amaz­ing online store. The owner very kindly sent me a wide vari­ety of prod­ucts to try out and review for the won­der­ful read­ers at CoolCanucks.

 

 

Green Tan­ger­ine is a Cana­dian online store based in Hamp­ton, Ontario Canada that sells  all kinds of lotions, balms, bath prod­ucts and body fra­grances in a wide array of deca­dent fra­grances that are sure to tan­ta­lize your senses. I really like that the ingre­di­ents for the Green Tan­gerine prod­ucts are nat­ural, envi­ron­men­tally friendly and handcrafted.

 

 

I received 4 prod­ucts to review

Sat­suma Guava Body Lotion:   I was very impressed with this body lotion. I decided to bring this one to work so that some of my cowork­ers could try it is as well and they were as impressed as I was with this prod­uct. The fra­grance is not heavy or over­whelm­ing. When applies it is light and eas­ily absorbed. My hands did not have an oily or greasy residue after apply­ing and left my hands feel­ing soft and smooth. I am totally hooked on this lotion and the scent!

 

Sat­suma Guava Body But­ter: I really loved using this prod­uct after I got out of the shower every morn­ing and I applied it all over my body. The refresh­ing orange scent was per­fect to perk me up first thing in the morn­ing which is always a good thing. The fra­grance just like the body lotion is not over­whelm­ing and it left my skin feel­ing soft and silky smooth.

 

Sat­suma Guava Body Spray: I found this body spray to be rather unique from any other that I have ever tried. The same scent as the other two prod­ucts which made it per­fect for lay­er­ing and have the fra­grance last for hours. The mist from the spray bot­tle is very fine so you do not have to worry about apply­ing too much. The body spray is made with a fra­grance oil and feels won­der­ful on your when applied

Pink Sugar Roller Per­fume: I love scents that remind me of sweet food and this one really fits the bill. The pink sugar fra­grance smells so yummy that it is almost good enough to eat. I also really like that the per­fume roller is small enough so you can stick it in your purse and take it with you every­where. Always handy when you want to pick me up and want to smell good!

 

Here is a com­plete list of the fra­grances offered…one to suit every mood or occasion!

 

Pink Sugar
A slightly sweet scent with vanilla under­tones. Very pop­u­lar with the teens!

Coconut Lime Ver­bena
A very fresh scent of lime and ver­bena with just a hint of coconut.

Laven­der
Always a favourite with young and old. Rem­i­nis­cent of old Eng­lish gardens.

Melon Mad­ness
A fresh fra­grance sim­i­lar to Bath and Body Works Cucum­ber Melon

Vanilla San­dal­wood
San­dal­wood and vanilla com­bined, giv­ing this scent a very grown up seduc­tive fragrance.

Lilac
No chem­i­cal under­tone here, smells like lilacs just picked off the tree. Enjoy Spring all year round.

Bartlett Pear
A very fresh light fra­grance has the hint of sweet­ness of a fresh ripened pear.

Sat­suma Guava
An all time cus­tomer favourite cit­rusy sat­suma scent, very unisex.

White Tea and Gin­ger
A new favourite. White tea mixed with a sub­tle gin­ger. A very orig­i­nal scent with just enough zip.

 

 

Angela from Green Tan­ger­ine has also offered a very spe­cial bonus to our Cool­Canucks read­ers who place an online order. If you place an order you will receive a lip balm free of charge! Once the order has been placed send your info in the con­tact tab of the site with your order info, let her know that you are order­ing via the Cool­Canucks review and the flavour of lip balm you would like.
