Flower Of Life -Shea Butter Soap with Lavender Basil Essential Oil Blend. Pure Lavender Basil

Today I will be reviewing 100% Herbal Handmade soap. I have never reviewed a soap before so If I goof up anywhere please excuse me for it --- The soap I will be reviewing is Flower of Life  - Shea Butter Soap with Lavender Basil Blend Essential Oils. This soap is manufactured by Swadeshi Natures Products. Below is some background information about the organisation. You can visit their website HERE.

Product: Flower Of Life - Handmade - Shea Butter Soap with Pure Lavender Basil Essential Oil Blend.  Price: 150 INR Quantity: 100 gms  Claims: 100% Natural Luxurious Handemade Shea Butter Soap with Lavender Basil Essential Oil Blend. The soap is rich in moisturizing properties and smells wonderful. The Lavender -Basil Essential Oil Blend has a light calming scent and soothes nerves. The soap forms a creamy lather and leaves skin soft, smooth, and clean.   My Take on the Product:  The first thing I noticed when I used this soap for the first time was the strong smell of Lavender and Basil. The moment you lather up the soap your filled with the smell of essential oils.  The smell of the soap is strong which might irritate some people. I found the smell quite bearable.  The downside I found about the product was that the smell does not tend to linger on even for a minute. The moment you step out of shower and smell your hands the fragrance of the essential oils has vanished away.  I liked the creamy rich lather the soap produces which cleanses your skin perfectly.  The Shea Butter in the product prevents over drying your skin after using the soap.  All in all this soap is a good product which is worth trying once.  The only thing which bothered me was the price of the product - it is expensive .. The same kind of handmade natural soaps manufactured by Khadi are available at a much cheaper rates.  Please Note: The product was sent by the company for consideration.

Nourish - Bath and Body --My Take on Products from Beaute Naturelle

 A few days earlier i had posted about a site that I came across - Beaute Naturelle. It is an Internet boutique which offers wonderful totally natural and organic beauty and personal care products. You can read my article
HERE

 I had a chat with Meg on the phone and it was very nice talking to her personally. She told me a lot about her site as well as her passion for photography. It was lovely talking to her and I am glad to be given an opportunity to review some of the products her site has to offer here.

Meg had beautifully packed all the products and had it courier to me .. I loved the way she had labelled all the products so wonderfully and I was touched to read hand written letter she wrote ... somehow letters really impress me .. handwritten letters have an all together different charm to it.. which email ll never have :(

Dont we all luv a personal touch !! <3

So - Basically her site sells five brands -

• Tvam:Naturally yours
• Nourish Body and Bath
• Last Forest Enterprises
• Ruby's Herbals
• Divine.

In this post I will be doing a quick review on products -

Madras Coffee Madness Body Scrub - from "Nourish Body and Bath" 

About the product:
This amazing sugar and coffee-based body scrub completely smooths out rough spots like knees, heels and elbows. Worried you might smell like coffee? Don't! The coffee scent serves as a wonderful wake-up call to your senses as you open the jar. The essential oils in the scrub leave your skin so unbelievably soft; you can skip the lotion.

Price : 350 Rupees.

My Experience with the product: 
 This product had spilled out of the container a bit when it reached me :( . First look at the product and I saw the granules are coarse and big so certainly cannot use it on the face. It has small sugar granules too and also a bit of oil to moisturize the skin. It has strong smell of coffee - so people who love coffee - this is for you because the smell instantly wakes you up. The product does an excellent job at scrubbing away the dead cells. It works best on my feet.  :)   

Lavender Vanilla Lotion - From " Nourish Body and Bath"

About the product: 
The clean, classic fragrance of lavender and the uplifting notes of vanilla. Mmmm. Transcendental! A lotion that reminds you of meadows and mists and mellow evenings. Lavender is believed to promote cell regeneration and reduce stress. A must-buy! 

Price: 345 Rupees

My Experience with the product: 

This is a wonderful lotion. I love the smell - it is mainly smelling of vanilla. The smell lingers on 2- 3 hours easily. It keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day.The consistency is just perfect and the lotion gets absorbed easily into the skin. It is totally non- greasy which is Perfect !!  Overall it is perfect for all skin types.    


So this is it for today girls - Next post I will be reviewing more products from this site.  :)
