Whispering Mist

There is a soap called Whispering Mist that my bestie got for me, oh I don't know, a year or so ago? It is Handcrafted Goatmilk soap and was handmade in Iowa "using pure goat milk, saponified oils of coconut, soy, olive, castor oils and shea butter and fragrance. This specialty soap will gently cleanse and leave your skin softly scented...." Although I haven't tried this soap yet, it smells wonderful, a bit like roses, and it feels soft to touch.

The soap is wonderfully wrapped in the cutest, soft rose petal cloth and is a pretty neutral colored soap.

All in all, I am looking forward to using this soap in the future!

Have you tried handmade organic/goat milk soaps?

French Soap, Oh-Ho-Ho~

Bonjour, mes amis! Je presente mon savon! (Okay, I'm a beginner French student, I tried my best.) Translation* Hello, my friends! I present my soap, haha!

Anyways, this is a bar of Rose scented shea butter soap. It is indeed a product of France, which delights me to no end, and was purchased from Disney world by that wonderful best friend of mine. She has the best taste in soaps, doesn't she?!

The soap is much pinker in real life and quite attractive. Not to mention that the scent is HEAVENLY! I can't stop smelling it as I type, it's so delicious! Although I haven't tried it yet, I look forward to! It claims to be very smooth and moisturizing, so we shall see!

Tell me, have you ever tried a soap from a foreign country? What country if so? Are there any soaps you would like to try from another country?

Jasmine-Rejuvenating Vegetable Soap

This soap advertises itself as being "a scented soap made with quality ingredients, carefully crafted by traditional soapmakers in India".

My best friend bought this soap for me as a random pep gift, and I must say that I love the soap! It smells ABSOLUTELY wonderful-carries quite a strong scent!-and it is fantastic to use. The soap is gentle enough for hands, that is it isn't coarse as other soaps can be, and I use it to even clean my face! I admit that I've slipped up once or twice and accidentally got the soap in my eye, but those incidents only proved how wonderful the soap is. It didn't sting my eyes! Most soaps that I use (okay, well, a LARGE majority of the ones I own) sting my eyes, but this bar doesn't! Also, to get back to the scent, the scent of Jasmine is very therapeutic.

The bar is made of: hydrogenated rice bran wax, palm oil, coconut oil, water, coconut stearic acid, glycerin, perfume, citric acid,  sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, and zinc oxide.

The soap is a product of Palam Rural Centre, Tamilnadu, India and is part of a nonprofit program of Mennonite Central Committee.

Lastly, I'd like to add how pleased I was by the packaging of the soap. Although the feeling of being charitable towards a third world country's products is self-satisfying and wonderful, appearance also makes a bar of soap worth purchasing.

Tell me, what are some of your favorite soaps? I will be doing reviews on a few other soaps later on, so please check back!

Sun Ripened Raspberries Never Smelled So Sweet~

This is a favorite brand of mine, Bath and Body Works, and I adore this signature scent of there's. Sun Ripened Raspberries smells as delicious as it sounds, a strong, pervading scent of sweet raspberries mixed with Florida orange, apple, and a base scent of vanilla.

I found a bottle of lotion with this spectacular scent about three or so years ago while rummaging through the towel closet, and I was extremely pleased. Not only that, but I also had found a bottle of shower gel with the same scent as well as a bar of soap (which was disappointing because I believe, if possible, that it had expired...). After using the bottles to their fill, I decided to seek out more products from the same scent-line, but came out empty handed. It turns out that this scent is no longer available in stores!

However, not giving up hope, I found their products online, and more than that, to my delight. On Bath and Body Work's webpage, they offer shower gel, regular lotion, body lotion, a perfume-y spray, hand soap, and scent plug-ins! This past Christmas, my grandparents had purchased for me two shower gels, two regular lotions, one body lotion, one perfume spray, and two hand soaps!

The hand soap on the left, as you can see, is nearly empty. I have been using this product since Christmas, and I never tire of the drooling scent it permeates.
The bottle next to it has yet to be opened, but I'm saving that for when the first hand soap kicks the bucket, haha!
The body lotion is very nice, however I have an almond allergy, therefore I can't use it...Quite a disappointment, but the hand soap beside it is just as nice and can be used on the body as well. The hand soap compensates for those who are allergic to almond like I am.
The shower gel is wonderful and smells delicious in the shower, however upon stepping out of the shower there is a subtle scent. Perhaps I just can't smell it because it's on me, and scents don't seem as strong to people once they've become accustomed to it after putting it on, but I still continue to use this product almost daily. It leaves my skin soft, which is good enough for me! Only one is shown in the picture because the other one is in my shower, nearly finished as well, haha!
Finally, the perfume-y spray seen on the far right is going to have to be my favorite product out of the line. I use this spray to give myself a nice-smelling boost before classes, or even to lighten the air in a room. I would recommend this out of all the products, but I am extremely partial to spritz sprays.

If anyone has any questions, please ask! I'm willing to share more products in the future, so please keep reading~! Also, if anybody has any products to recommend, please do! What is your favorite Bath and Body product?

Another blog-oh my!

I have been so inspired lately by the fashion and beauty blogs that I follow, not to mention that I'm also inspired by the world around me, so I thought that I would present my ideas and favorite beauty products/tips to the blogging society! (Not like this site needs another beauty blogger; there are already so many wonderful ones out there!)

Please be sure to check out my other blog, ExactaCrafts, to see what I'm making up to date. ;)
