With Pure Jergens

There is nothing quite like the feeling of putting on hydrating lotion in the midst of winter, when your skin is at its driest. Lotion is one beauty product that I just can't deny myself, especially if it has a particularly pleasing scent. I have been switching between three different lotions lately, so I thought I would do a little review about them all: Hilary Duff's With Love, Victoria's Secret's Pure Seduction, and Jergens Ultra Healing.  

First up is Hilary Duff's With Love. I came across this by seeing Hilary Duff's music video for "With Love," in which she sprayed the With Love perfume. Assuming I would like the scent, I bought the gift set, which included the perfume, lotion and a small hand mirror. The gift set version is the only one I have been able to find and the largest bottle it comes in is one of 1.7 fl oz. On the bottle, it claims that it is a hydrating lotion, but the hydrating feeling does not last very long at all and when putting it on, I felt almost a grainy substance. This was probably to help exfoliate the skin, but it wasn't very pleasant. The only thing I still like about this lotion is the scent(as long as you don't use too much lotion), but I could as easily get that from the perfume. 

Next is Victoria's Secret's Pure Seduction from their Secret Garden selection. This has been one of my favorite scent since high school, when one of my friends introduced it to me. I have always just stuck with the body spray, but I thought I would give the lotion a chance. Unlike the With Love lotion, the Pure Seduction has 6.7 fl oz in the particular bottle I bought. It is described on the bottle as an "ultra moisturizing hand and body cream" and the moisturizing feeling lingers for a long time. However, the lotion takes absolutely forever to sink into the skin and it leaves you with a greasy feeling on your hands. 

Lastly is the Jergens Ultra Healing lotion. Out of the three lotions, the Jergens had the most lotion in one bottle with 10 fl oz. I especially liked this lotion because it is extremely hydrating and it sinks into the skin pretty quickly. As the name suggests, it has some healing qualities. After a few days of using this lotion, any cuts I had on my hands were healed up completely.
