So first I'll talk about their fortune cookie soap. The one I got smelled really fresh and I absolutely loved how it made my whole shower smell like a summer rain. It also cleaned great, my skin felt squeaky clean with no residue and the smell lingered on my skin. However, the down side is you don't get many uses out of it because it becomes very flimsy in the shower and breaks apart. So that was a little annoying but if you have one of those bath mitts you can just put it in there and probably get more uses out of it.
A soap I didn't enjoy all that much was their cupcake soap. I ordered it mainly because it looks so gosh darn adorable and I love cupcakes. I was planning on just really using it as decoration, unfortunately as soon as I received it the cupcake icing started turning into this poopy brown colour. I asked the maker and she said it's normal because sometimes the vanilla in it reacts which I was extremely disappointed in. So because of this I had to use the soap and it wasn't much better than it looked. It didn't lather very well, the smell wasn't very cupcake-y when used in the shower, it sort of smelt like play-doh. It also didn't rinse off cleanly, it didn't just moisturize, it left a film on my skin. As well, the scent didn't linger on my skin (probably a good thing). Their cupcake bath melt was pretty much the same. The tub smelled like play-doh and it didn't really moisturize my skin as it did grease it up.
I got their clay mask to try out because of my oily skin and I thought it was neat concept; it comes as a powder and you use any of the mixing mediums listed based on your skin type, like milk, honey, water etc. It comes in four packets and I tried different mediums. It was a huge pain when I used yogurt or sour cream, all the clay just balled up and wouldn't apply to my skin, just kept falling off. The milk and water applied a lot better, however, as soon as the clay started drying on my face it felt awful. The tightening was too much, it started to make my skin itch and become irritated, even if I only left the mask on for 5 minutes. And after I rinsed it off my skin was so incredibly dry and blotchy. Luckily my moisturizer was able to relieve my skin but I would not recommend this product to anyone.
A product I was really excited to use was their bath salt. I got it in their most popular scent and it smells like sweet laundry detergent. Some of you may not like that smell but I do haha. It smelled so fresh and clean but when I poured the salts into the bath the smell did not disperse through the air, in fact, the smell disappeared all together and I was left sitting in boring bath water with salts that were supposedly having some glorious affect on my skin. Needless to say I was disappointed. But I would still like to try one of their other products with the same scent.
The only product I did actually enjoy was their gelato bath bomb. It not only looks freakin adorable and good enough to eat but it smells good enough to eat too. It works wonderfully, a great bath bomb and the smell fills your whole bathroom. The pineapple scent was so relaxing, and was a nice get away from the impending doom of winter. The smell also stays on your skin which I enjoy since I love the smell so much. I would definitely recommend their bath bombs, but that's all I was able to recommend. Like I said I'm hopeful to try some of their other products and scents and maybe have more luck. I do suggest you take a look at their site, they have some pretty unique items that would make great gifts for the holidays or yourself.
