I was recently asked what I’ll do with the blog now that Pumpkin-Eatin’ Season is over. Actually, I’m a little overwhelmed by my ridiculous backlog of pumpkin products that need blog entries.
This is an example of an item I should have written about long ago. There are three pumpkin products that I use almost on a daily basis: Primal Elements’ Pumpkin Sugar Scrub; Pure Simplicity’s Pumpkin Face Scrub; and Pure Simplicity’s Pumpkin Body Butter. All three of these products are becoming more difficult to find and are all possibly being discontinued…great!
I don’t understand people who don’t use it. That vague burning session when your skin is dry irritates me more than most and then there’s the extra bonus of having dull looking tattoos..I need lotion! To combat this issue I begin my day with Pure Simplicity’s Body Butter. I like that it feels substantial–I know that it’s there doing its job–but it’s not overly greasy. The scent lingers but it’s subtle, considerably more subtle than most of the other products they sell at Bath & Body Works.
How is it as a pumpkin product? Describing the pumpkin scent is probably what has caused me to wait so long to write this blog. I love this stuff but I don’t think the scent is quite right. The Pure Simplicity Pumpkin Purifying Face Mask smells like a spicy pumpkin pie but the body butter smells kind of like candy corn. It’s a sweet scent. People have commented before that they like the scent but when they try to guess what it is they never get it right. Only one person has ever guessed right but I was also wearing a pumpkin scented oil and that combination could be what tipped them off.
So, the rating of a 4 is more about my love of the product and less about it really smelling like pumpkin.
Rating: 4 out of 5
I was given a jar of pumpkin body butter as a gift and I don’t know how I have survived with this sensitive skin of mine without it. I simply love it. I just don’t know where in Connecticut I can purchase it. I am eager to try more pure simplicity products. This is a keeper. Thanks to pure simplicity body butter my feet are feet again and my body is not dry and ichy. My skin is alive,soft and smooth. Just like a baby.
