Last month, I attended the Body Blessings Soiree hosted by founder Twanna Toliver, at the Loft. I had the pleasure of meet lovely Twanna and also purchasing her Cuckoo for Coco Body Butter Crème, part of her new skin care line.

Cuckoo for Coco Body Butter Crème:

My skin-type leans towards the normal/dry combination, but with the recent severe weather we have been exposed to, my skin has been excruciatingly dry. While body butters tend to be one of my favorite all over moisturizers, many have a super-thick texture and an overpowering scent.

Cuckoo for Coco doesn’t have either. It has a medium-thick consistency, is quickly absorbed into the skin (leaving no greasy residue), and leaves just a hint of a sweet-smelling scent.

The uniqueness in this body butter is found in its formulation, which includes ingredients such as cold pressed oils, organic oils, fair trade butters and biodiversity plant extracts from all over the world.

Simply put, this body butter is absolutely luscious on the skin and has been my skin-saver during this incessantly dry, winter season. I purchased Cuckoo for Coco about a month ago and it has been my skin sidekick up until recently, because well – I finished it!

Since it’s time to replenish my Cuckoo supply and I am sharing with you dolls this fabulous beauty find, darling Twanna has generously offered MG readers…
