Avon Care Refreshing Body Lotion with Aloe and Cucumber

Hi guys! Happy Thursday! How has your week been so far ?

Recently Avon came out with the Refreshing Aloe and Cucumber Body Lotion (I love buying these big bottles as I do use quite a lot of body lotion - I'm one of those weird people that don't like to have dry scaly skin . ) and just looking at the flamingo on the packaging I knew I had to try it out . Doesn't the packaging just scream summer ???

Now while I do have a few favorite body lotions in the rotation - the Avon big bottles are always a staple in my bathroom. The bottle has a pump which is perfect so no struggling with a squeeze bottle and squeezing out too much (which with a kid can sometimes turn into a disaster). The bottle always lasts a decent amount of time too - which is always a bonus. And yes - who doesn't love smelling like aloe and cucumber? It's such an amazingly fresh scent yet still versatile for the whole family.

The body lotion isn't greasy and absorbs into the skin quite easily - which I did find even makes Alex more keen to use this lotion - which for me is always a bonus. It's also a pretty good hydrating body lotion - because while I love body creams - lotions just make more sense in the summertime when it's hot and you don't want to feel sticky - but not all of them are hydrating enough not to end up with grey dull skin from not moisturizing. 

Now as I mentioned a million times before on the blog - I am extremely sensitive to scents. Any strong super overwhelming scent will break out my skin in hives and make me super duper itchy. This scent on this lotion is pretty soft and subtle - but you do get this summertime feeling applying it.  

And if it wasn't super obvious - it has a flamingo on the bottle - and let's be real - if it has anything flamingo on it I'm sure to buy it. 

Have you tried any of the Avon body lotions before ??
