I do have a lot of explaining for the long absence in blogging. Life has taken a hold of me and I was quite up to my neck with responsibilities. I also took a break from makeup reviews and concentrated in using the ISKIN New York Skin Care system from Flawless and I do like how it's going. My skin cleared and my post-acne marks are now significantly lighter. I love the effect so much that I didn't bother so much with makeup for past few days. I still get a few acne bumps here and there but nothing as severe as before.

So started to concentrate on reviewing some hair and body products. And I am quite happy with some that have been sitting quite awhile on my dresser. It's the Hayan Oat and Olive Moisture Body Lotion.



Loved the glossy pump bottle that it came with it. At first sight, it already gave me an idea to get a few bottles to give out as Christmas presents to my girlfriends. But what knocked it out of the ballpark was how good the scent was! I didn't know that olive and oats would make a sweet combo. The consistency is light, creamy, not at all runny and quick to absorbed on to the skin. Clear indication of a quality body lotion.

I find body lotions easy to review, I just have to love the scent and if it isn't greasy or sticky then I would surely love it. But what makes a body lotion for me is the difference I see in my skin in just mere few days. Did it lighten my skin? Did it reduce the dry patches on my arm? Something that gave that wow factor.

Hayan Olive and Oats Moisture Body Lotion gave my skin a whole lot of loving. My skin was noticeably smoother in just few nights of using. The dry patches on my elbow lessened and oh, did the scent linger for a long time without the sticky residue.

I'm not into lotion but the scent of this one encouraged to indulge in a 5 or 10 minutes of body moisturizing before heading off to bed. I loved it so much that I've used nearly half of the bottle of the already.
