Mad City Soap Part II Delectable Sugar Scrubs ~

 

How many sugar scrubs can a girl have? ? ?

                                    A ton! 

This scrubby goodness from Mad City Soap is MARSHMALLOW scented and I must say, it smells just like the yummiest, freshest marshmallow you’ve eaten.. Marshmallow fans will simply adore this scent. Using it in the shower is like drenching urself in liquid marshmallows, minus the sticky feeling. There is no oily residue left on the skin or in the shower.  Upon contact, the sugary bits literally melt and cleanse away in a very gently bubbling manner. Presentation is also key with Scrubbin Bubbles Body Scrub – The fresh white color, topped with purple specks make it look like a delicious gigantic marshmallow. Packaging wise, the labels are waterproof so you can leave this in the shower without worrying!

In the description, Sue states that this scrub is most suited for normal to oily skin types. Her super popular moisturizing whipped sugar scrubs are only available in the cooler months ( starting September ). So if you happen to have really dry skin, it might be worth waiting a little while longer :-) Here in the tropics, I appreciate a little less oil every now and then!

                     Yumss!!

If you aren’t bored, read on! I got another AWESOME Scrubbin Sugar Scrub in CHERRY DIVINITY….. This smells like strawberry ice cream rounded off with a good scoop of vanilla. Makes me want to take a bite off my hands. Dangerous for serious strawberry ice cream addicts! Overall, I can’t praise this scrubby goodness enough and the comfort it brings me in the shower. ….oohh Lalala…I am considering getting these scents in the dry oil version as it doesn’t contain alcohol which tends to evaporate quickly on my skin ( scent and all).Can’t wait to smell like strawberry ice cream and marshmallows:)

              

    Get me a spoon to dig into this one!!

Scrubbin Sugar Scrubs Ingredients: Sugar, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sorbitol, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Stearic Acid, Vitamin E, Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Fragrance, Cosmetic Colorants

I got 2 body butters- Candy Fluff Type & Cotton Candy. Blame my preggie need for sugar and chocolate and all things sweet &  fatty. These smells I am not crazy over . They are way too sweet / medicinal smelling for me and the only way I can wear Candy Fluff is with HIWTK dry oil layered on. Cotton candy on the other hand is just something I can’t stomach. I wish I had gotten mango lassi or lush island retreat ! Butter wise though it does moisturize nicely. It feels a little greasy and thick initially but the cream seems to settle into the skin after a few minutes and the scent lingers. If you have a smell that you love, you could easily customize it to this body butter. It’s bound to make you smell of it 24-7.

                                               Fluffy goodness

Life’s too short. I want to live it smelling yummy :-)

Mad City Soap _ Honey I Washed The Kids Type Dry Body Spray

 

Wow. When bloggers reviewed this particular Etsy Seller saying that shipping is super quick and her Lush Dupes are pretty spot on, they are oh so right.

Parcel took a speedy  8 days to arrive and I am now going absolutely crazy over Honey I Washed The Kids Type Dry Body Spray.

Ingredients: Cyclomethicone, Liquid Shea Butter, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Fragrance (optional)

What I love about this HIWTK dupe dry oil is that it smells so much like the original and I don’t have to put the soap near me just to get a good whiff anymore. The honey, toffee and sweet smelling scent really stays on for a good 4-5 hours if you are in an air conditioned place and the smell is so terrific. I have worn perfumes that quickly de sensitizes my nose but this dry oil doesn’t do that. My smell buds ( as I like to  call them) keeps getting nice whiffs  throughout the day and the best part is that this smell blends so beautifully with sweeter smelling body butters.

If I could I would buy  a box full so I would never run out. That’s how madly obsessed I am with this smell. Only thing you have to be careful of is not to spray it on your favorite clothes as it is oil based. It takes a few seconds to settle into the skin and what you get is a nicely moisturized feeling, nothing heavy like a body butter.

I bought the 2 fluid ounce bottle and it’s so handy to throw into your handbag because the bottle is very secure. Sue is the owner of Mad City Soaps and I think she ranks amongst a few others as the best Customer Service on Etsy. Buying online is such cold experience at times but when you have a seller who is willing to reply to your questions, promptly and quickly, and ships the parcel out in a snap, it makes the whole purchasing experience pleasurable and satisfying.

A 2 Fluid Oz dry oil spray in the fragrance of your choice( you can choose from a longgg list), retails for only 5.50 USD I think. What a steal!

** on a separate note altogether, SINGPOST, our local mail and parcel delivery, has once again screwed up on me. The first time was an almost 8 weeks delivery screw up to Munich from Singapore( my parcel was sent there and sent back- imagine that! ) and the second time was a few days ago when I purchased some Lush soaps from an ebay seller. I purchased the soaps last Sunday, she brought it to SINGPOST the next day on Monday ( weighed and sent it) and today, still nothing.
I HATE SINGPOST> the service is very pathetic and if this were the first time they screwed up on me I would let it go but it is not. This tiny island is too small for a parcel ( quite large may I add) to get lost.

 SINGPOST, please up your game and stop being so sloppy with people’s parcels.

I hope you all have a good weekend and please if you live in Singapore and are intending to send anything overseas, consider Fedex( my no. 1), DHL or some other delivery service. With Singpost, it’s such an unnecessary gamble.
