My New Favorite Scrub... And You'll Never Guess the Price!

Now that it's getting to be "shorts weather" here where I live (no, I'm not kidding!), it's more important than ever to have my skin in tip-top shape. My go-to product for beautiful, glowing skin has always been a great body scrub.

The other day, as recommended in a post over at Spoiled Pretty, I headed over to my local T.J. Maxx to see what kind of beauty deals were there. I made quite a few discoveries... but that's for a later post.

Today, I'm here to gush about the amazing body scrub I picked up on my visit. It's actually part of a set called the Bliss Carrot + Sesame Body Buff Super-Hydrating Spa System (which includes both a scrub and a "finishing foam"). The scrub is packed with great ingredients and exfoliants like carrot, sesame, sea salt, and a variety of oils such as almond, jojoba, and lemon... so you know it's great for your skin.

The 8.5 oz. tub is guaranteed to last you a long time, even with weekly use. The scrub is extremely dense, so you don't need much to cover yourself. After your shower, while your skin is still damp, head out and apply the Finishing Foam, which includes milk and honey to keep your skin smooth and soft all day and give a nice glow. (This product doesn't do much when used alone, but combined with the scrub, will enhance your results.) Both products have a fresh scent that is a little heavy in the shower, but very light after and smells sweet over time.

I have few complaints about this product. Some of the seed particles in the scrub are too large, which makes them unnecessary, since the sea salts exfoliate well enough on their own. You're likely to end up with a few seeds on your shower floor. Using too much of the scrub can also make your skin feel a little oily, but a quick rinse with a little body wash takes care of this problem right away.

Did I forget to mention the amazing price? I found this set for a sweet $10, making each product $5 and saving me $40 off the original price! If that isn't reason enough to head to your nearest T.J. Maxx, stay tuned for my next shopping trip, when I'll document some of the deals I find!
