The girls and I were given these products free to give our honest opinions.
My girls are growing up way too fast on me!
Lauren will be 10 in October, going into the double
digits, and Michelle is 8.
I love seeing
my girls getting older over the years, from babies in diapers, to toddlers
throwing fits, and now school age girls becoming young ladies.
With years of changes, what my girls taste with different things changes
too and I have to keep up with it which can be exhausting.
Since they are becoming little ladies they’re starting to
get into what teens like; the latest fashion trends, popular teen shows, and
gadgets.
My girls are in the preteen’s stage and now they want to
start wearing body lotions and sprays that are meant for older kids. The girls are always asking me to buy them
body lotions from Bath and Body Works, but I think that place is a little too
grown for them. I’ll buy the Christmas
scents for them but that’s about it.
Also, I’m dealing with eczema with Lauren and lotions with all those
added chemicals is not good for her skin, it dries her skin out even more and
make her itchy.
There are lotions and sprays out there for teen girls, I’ve
used them myself when I was a teen, but the smell was so artificial and the
lotion doesn’t absorb or moisturize the skin, pretty much buying that stuff is
a waste of money.
For the past week, the girls and I had the pleasure of reviewing
Angels and Tomboys, a skincare and beauty line for tweens and teens.
The line features 10 scented lotions and body
sprays that smell good enough to eat with names like: Rockin' Blueberry,
Watermelon Funk, Candy Star Glam, Lemonade Doughnuts, Peanut Butter Jelly Time,
Frozen Hot Chocolate, Happy Birthday!!! Strawberry Cupcake, Deep Fried Ice
Cream and Cotton Candied Apples.
This
line was created by two sister kidpreneurs in Memphis, Tennessee, Madison, 11, and
Mallory, 9.
How amazing! I really
admire seeing young aspiring kids creating a business at such a young age! Just goes to show, it doesn’t matter what age
you are, if you have a passion you can turn that passion into a business.
My Review
I told my girls they would be reviewing some body lotions
and sprays meant for kids their age and they couldn’t wait to start trying them
out, same with me too!
The package came in a matter of days and both of my girls
claimed which ones would be theirs.
Inside the package the girls received:
- Rockin’ Blueberry Body Spray
- Deep Fried Ice Cream Lotion
- Deep Fried Ice Cream Spray
Price- $12.00 each
Before the girls and I started sampling, we took a look at
the package; our thoughts were how cute it was and playful the characters are
on the bottles.
The packaging really
caught our eyes, especially with me since the characters look like those
scratch and sniff stickers I use to have when I was a child; if I were to see
these lotions and sprays on the shelves in stores I would stop to take a
look.
I’m all about packaging, if the
packaging doesn’t stand out and catches my attention I’m more than likely will pass
by it not noticing it.
I’m happy to see that these lotions and sprays don’t have
all those harsh chemicals in it. It makes me feel good
allowing my girls to wear it and it's not irritating or damaging their skin.
As for the smell, smells just like what the package
says. The fan favorite with the girls
and I is the Deep Fried Ice Cream, it really makes you want to eat it and
vanilla happens to be one of my favorite fragrances which is prefect to wear
during the fall and winter months.
Lotion glides on the skin nicely and keeps the skin moisturized.
The scent of both lotions and sprays last all
day and the smell is not overpowering, so you don’t have to worry about other
people being disturbed by it.
My girls will be looking fresh in their new outfits and smelling divine going back to school!
