The Soap & Paper Factory Green Tea Shea Butter Soap

I recently had a big haul at the Soap and Paper Factory and being a huge fan of specialty soap -- I decided to use the soap first. Out of the four different ones I bought, I couldn’t decide so I closed my eyes and picked at random. I ended up picking up the crisp scented green tea shea butter soap.  The scent is uplighting and makes taking a shower very pleasant.  It is a perfect way to unwind into tranquility. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin soft, moisturized and smooth. Overall, it is a good quality soap; I just wasn’t fond of the scent. I am more into floral or sweet scents.This soap is perfect if you like “spa scented” soaps that are refreshing, crisp, and uplifting that is not packed with harsh detergents or petrochemicals, additives, parabens, phthalates, or dyes. And I also love the cute paper the soap came wrapped up in. It made it ready for gift giving or treating yourself to special treat.

 

 

Seductively French Citrus Sorbet Body Lotion

I had a gift card from the holidays and I came across this body lotion and I thought I would give it a try. It was pretty expensive at $38 at 8oz. I figured it either has to be really good or it’s mediocre and I just overpaid. The sweet scented sorbet body lotion went on smoothly almost like whipped cream. The body lotion is 98% natural and 83% organic ingredients and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, synthetic coloring, DEA, silicone, PEG, PGG and aluminum. The sumptuous body lotion is packed  with green tea, aloe, and shea butter that absorbed quickly into my skin and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. I loved putting on this soft decadent lotion and waking up with softer, smoother and delicately scented.

First Aid Skin Rescue Purifying Mask with Red Clay

In 20 minutes, this promises to detoxify, reduce pores, and control excess oil according to the product’s website. The mask has is enriched with red clay that draws out impurities and purifies the complexion while improving the skin’s texture. The mask was very easy to use but like most masks, it could get a bit messy. While, the paraben, sulfate, and phthalate free mask promised instant results like a professional treatment, I noticed no such thing. Yes, my face was smoother, softer and brighter but my dark spots were still there. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great product, but I don’t think it works like a professional treatment but it does get the job done.

Juara Tiare Jasmine Tea Bath and Shower Gel

The sweet jasmine tea scented body is enriched with extracts of green, white, and black teas to soothe and calm skin.  The body wash is both sulfate and paraben free and employs natural cleansers to soften and moisturize skin. While the body wash was a sweet treat to use, I noticed I couldn’t get much of lather. I didn’t bother using it as a bubble bath as it wouldn’t really lather well when I was using a loofah. Although, I did notice that it did leave my skin silky soft. While, I love the scent, I don’t think I would buy this again because I love when my shower gels give a luxurious lather than envelope me.

Julep Sea Salt Texturizing Spray for Hair

Who doesn’t love what the salty air does to hair? It gives hair an amazing bounce, texture, volume, soften and glow. The paraben and sulfate free sea salt water infused with marine botanicals to provide moisture and nourishment to hair. The spray promises to protect hair from sun damage while touting tousled waves. You can use the spray on either damp or dry hair and follow up with heat for more body. If you want more volume, use the spray on wet hair. And on dry hair it gives hair a piecey texture. I have long hair so I usually have to completely saturate my hair with the product and I really don’t notice much of a difference from my normal wavy hair.  I have mostly used the spray on dry hair, as when my hair is wet I usually like using a  nourishing oil on the ends. The only I noticed that my hair is usually very shiny after applying the spray not greasy looking.
