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 :-)

The Soap Seduction

I waited patiently for 10 days.

And my soaps have reached!!

 

Every Etsy soaper I have bought from has something distinct about their products and the smell of the soap seduction parcel  is: Exotic and Decadent

 

I was first attracted to this Etsy seller because of her gorgeous and exotic looking soaps  and her customer service is fast and prompt.  Also, I have a habit of checking with soapers, on the safety of their items for pregnancy. Patrice the owner of the Soap Seduction actually remember my question and sent me this very lovely card together with the parcel :

 

 

Sweet :) Patrice is so sweet, I love her thoughtfulness!

 

First Impressions: I love how everything was wrapped up in pretty pink paper and I absolutely love The Soap Seduction Style. Just going by the wrapping and smells, you feel that everything is meant to entice and seduce you into using them.

 

The first item I took a bite out of, hehe , was the free sample of a Lip Bomb. The packaging is so convenient because you can turn the base and the balm glides right out and there are only 4 ingredients in it. It’s ultra ultra moisturizing & long lasting  but I wish she would have included the scent name. It smells of cranberry bubblegum. Nothing synthetic & very light :) No smell of any oils or beeswax or anything like that. Only drawback is that it’s a little mushy due to the heat. I think this lip balm needs some refrigeration before I apply it on again.

 

 

 

Next up are the sample size sugar scrubs! I got 2 flavors – Sniker Doodles & Lemon Chiffon. I wish I wish I wish I had bought the larger version of the Lemon Chiffon. It is to die for. The smell is SO SO good, I can’t even describe it.

Both sugar scrubs are very smooth and the sugar particles in it are very fine and gently exfoliate the skin. Both scrubs lather well but differently. Packaging wise, I would have preferred the labels to be waterproof cause the ink from the ingredients label ran when I brought this into the toilet with me.

Snicker Doodles smells like a rich cinnamon bun mixed with a sneaker bar and the lather is  creamy.It can be a little overpowering and it makes my skin smell like warm vanilla with some notes of cinnamon.

 

Lemon Chiffon is a MUST HAVE!  It looks gorgeous in the sample sized jar and the smell is just decadent. It smells like the most sinful  lemony, vanilla chiffon cake ever, without all the calories :) The lather is truly amazing and leaves your skin feeling clean and silky smooth afterwards and if you are anything like me, you’ll be smelling yourself continually . I swear this is the sexiest food scent I have ever used. OMG> to die for people.

 

Next up are The Soap Seduction Soaps!

 

The first Soap I got was Holiday Serenade and this was not the smell I was expecting. It smells like Spicy exotic Potpourri :( The soap looks gorgeous though and I have a friend in mind to give this soap to. She prefers deeper muskier scents, while I adore sweet rich ones. 

The second soap I tried was Killa Vanilla and man oh man, this is one strong sexy smelling vanilla. It looks and smells good enough to eat. It’s cut like a small cake and the color  reminds you of coffee and chocolate. I think I might be a vanilla scent convert! Never would I have ever imagined that vanilla could smell so comforting and dead sexy at the same time!

The last soap I bought was the sweet nothings. It is huge! I like the light floral and fruity scent it imparts and it’s perfect for days when you just feel like doing nothing and lazing about. I don’t find the soaps moisturizing enough and the scent of this bar is very very light.

 

Overall, I LOVE the SUGAR SCRUBS.

I like the soaps because they look very exotic and have a unique smell but the scent disappears too quickly after I bath unlike the sugar scrubs. Also, they are not as moisturizing as Bare Bumm Bath. Still, I have to say the scents are unique & seductive( can be overpowering to some I suspect) , the sugar scrubs are lovely and Patrice is a very sweet seller !

It’s midweek! Countdown to Friday people!
