Body Lotions: EcoTools -Sustaining Softness Body Lotion

Image
I really don't know why EcoTools decided to get rid of their lotions, body washes, face washes...all they sell now are tools for the face and body.

I got an acrylic paint set, a watercolor set, and a soft pastel set. I have used each of these already, however, I only started painting with watercolors and acrylics recently, so I really do not know the difference between qualities of brands, but I do know how I feel about them. Here are my thoughts: I have another set of Watercolors that I had recently bought from Target, and I like them, but these Artist's Loft ones offer so much more! A little bit goes a long way with these. For $10, you sure are getting a ...

It's fast, it's simple, and it actually looks like a strawberry, well, a one-dimensional strawberry, but it is recognizably a strawberry. So let's start with the instructions!
