Lululemon Self Care Product Line Review

Hello Everyone! I hope that everyone had an AMAZING 4th of July holiday!

As soon as I heard that Lululemon had come out with personal care products, I thought: Ooooooh! Something I can actually order right now. I am about 8 months pregnant, so I basically fit into nothing anymore, and therefore have curbed my adorable Lululemon clothing appetite completely. I ordered these products and received them last Thursday, so I’ve had a little over a week to try them out.

Packaging: I really like the simplicity of the packaging. It’s just red & white, very basic. Everything does have a sticker seal on the side of it, but is otherwise not hermetically sealed. The box these products came in was plain, but had a cute quote on the inside: “did you just work out? -asked no one ever again.” They also came with a see-thru plastic cosmetics bag. And all the (travel-sized) products fit inside comfortably.

I want to start with the deodorants. My husband used the Black Pepper Sandalwood and I used the Aloe Lotus. My husband liked the deodorant, and I smelled him at the end of his work days and he smelled pleasant. I like the smell of the Aloe Lotus, but it did not last throughout the days for me, and by 3pm I was a little stinky. And, this is after normal activity- I haven’t been to the gym in two weeks. So, I can’t give the women’s deodorant my seal of approval, but the men’s seems to work just fine- figure that! I would love to say: to be fair, I am pregnant and hormones and what-not, but my other deodorants, even the spray-on types last all day on me, regardless of gestational status. I will probably give this a couple more chances after I deliver, and I will update here to see if it lasts then. Because who knows, maybe it is my current body chemistry. All I know is that I paid for it, so I might as well get some use out of it!

The next item on the list is the No-Show Dry Shampoo. This item is in the Argan Lotus scent. It smells pretty, of course, and doesn’t smell “harsh” or have an overbearing scent like a lot of other Dry Shampoos have. I can totally see myself using this right after the gym to freshen up, and it does remove oil from my hair, while remaining shockingly invisible, as advertised. My current favorite dry shampoo is by Living Proof, but this one might take its place. The full-sized Lululemon one is over 8oz, and $34, while the Living Proof one is $10 cheaper at $24 for the full sized item, but their full size is only 4oz, so ounce for ounce, the Lululemon one is cheaper. – I hope that made sense. TLDR: Lululemon’s is cheaper per ounce than Living Proof.

The next thing I will talk about is my FAVORITE product from this collection: The Basic Balm. Fun fact about me: My favorite lip balm is the Dior Lip Glow. It is the best lip balm I’ve ever used and it is $34. I’ve only ever purchased one, and was planning to buy another one for myself for when I go into labor and all that “he,he,hooo’-ing gave me the potential for very chapped lips. I will no longer need to supplement my lip balm collection now that I own this “Basic Balm.” I absolutely love it. It is lightly scented, it applies well, looks nice on, and most importantly, moisturizes my lips in a way that is not gross, waxy or sticky. It actually feels “healthy” for my lips. I love it!

The final product I purchased is the Sweat Reset Face Moisturizer. First impressions: I like the packaging, in that it does have a locking top feature, which will prevent leakage- and at $48 for 1.6oz, you’ll want to ensure that you waste not a single drop! That seems a little pricey to me! This is a very lightweight cream- it is definitely hydrating, without feeling sticky and it absorbs into the skin. However, I am not a huge fan of the scent. It seems innocuous, but I just don’t personally like it. If you own this, let me know in the comments what you think of the smell. I am having difficulty describing it. Finally, I haven’t been using this for long enough to detect any skin benefits. I plan to wait until the fall, when my skin will be dryer to see if this is truly a hydration miracle or a dud.

Have you tried any of these products? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
