Here I am with my second Scentsational Soap Mini haul. This time I decided to try out different products, since the first haul was basically her soap bars. I had the privilege of trying out two of the four I bough from samples that Sarah and Chad sent me. They are all in the scent LEMON COOKIE, which I just could not get enough of!Sugar Scrub
One scoop provides a good exfoliation for the entire body. The sugar crystals dissolve nicely as you rub it into your skin, while at the same time the oils moisturizes very well. It does not leave an oily residue, which I find it to be a plus. And the scent is very strong and can linger at least 30 minutes in the skin or more.
Whipped Parfait Soap
This is by far my favorite item of this purchase. When you pad the top it feels a bit tough, but as you scoop a bit out, it feels extremely creamy and smooth and it lathers up a lot! So a little goes a long way! When layered with the scrub, the scent will linger even more.
Body Butter
As for the body butter, it has a very dense texture, but it glides on the skin smoothly. It leaves your skin soft and very moisturized. As for the scent, lemon cookie does justify the name. It reminds of the Lemon Cookie I ate very long ago from the Girl Scouts (wished I had some now). A bakery scent, very sweet and mouth watery. Also, one thing I love love love about layering them together, the scent will last me all night and wake up to it.
Deodorant
As far as deodorants go, I have tried so many brands and scents, but none really seem to work on me. I always end up having a strong odor, mostly the deodorants scent multiplying with sweat so I said to myself, let's go au natural. And no I don't mean stop using deodorant, but rather use one with natural ingredients. And here Sarah has a lovely selection of natural deodorants which caught my attention.
So far I am loving it! It helps me stay fresh and odor free for at least half a day (I say half a day because I cannot go half a day without showering with the heat cranking up here). Even when I go to sleep, I usually just go with a roof fan, so sweating is inevitable, but with this I wake up to the smell of green tea and Aloe Vera.
Highly recommend this to anyone who has had trouble finding the right deodorant to stop the heavy sweating and bad smell!
Freebies!
As always, Sarah and Chad are sweethearts and were so so generous as to give me three full size freebies!! (unscented Goats milk soap bar + strawberry soap bar + loofah) I was not expecting this at all. I was so surprise! THANK YOU SARAH AND CHAD!!!!! But I will say that the goats milk soap is AMAZING. It creates a thick, rich creamy lather that just blew my mind away. It is extremely gentle on the skin, but at the same time provides a lot of moisture.
Also the Strawberry soap smells sweet and yummy. It creates a lovely lather. Also, it has seeds in it, which tells me two things: first that she uses real strawberries to make this soap, and two: that it provides a gentle exfoliation. I love to use it as a hand soap because that way I can sniff the strawberries as often as I want!
I will be repurchasing everything, but three products that I KNOW I do not want to go without from Sarah's are:
- Unscented Goats milk soap
- Whipped soap
- Natural Deodorant
