This is easily the most luxurious (read: expensive) scrub I own so far... and let me go straight to the point - I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Ok, first the scent is just heavenly. One whiff and I am relaxed. So calming and soothing..

The scrub texture is great for an all over scrub; however I don't fancy scrub with oil for the pits.. There are lots of lavender buds, when crushed, release more calming fragrance. Nice!

This rinses well and I like using this on damp skin. After shower with this srub, my skin feels velvety and always puts me in a great mood. Fantastic for those moody tough days...

As usual, I got this when the collection was launched, I don't remember the price anymore. However much I love this, I doubt I'll repurchase as I'm not keen in paying a bomb for wash-offs. *I wonder if they still sell this.. I have not been to a Crabtree store since my last handcreams purchase*

Nett Wt:200g
Scent: Refreshing, a hint of citrus
Price: About RM55 (intro price)


Crabtree products are like a luxury for me. I will never be able to justify paying the full price for their products. But come Christmas and whenever they have new products launching (damn, they have alot of launchings per year), is my haul time. Prices then seems ok, not for the frugals but occassionaly splurge is fine.


I love this body polisher!
For the texture, just the way I like it. Coarse enough to feel a good buff, my skin looks healthy after each use. Very smooth to touch, perfect to follow up with lotion. I tend to like coarser texture so I could use it on my feet too.. 


And the scent... oh just heavenly. Very citrusy and refreshing. Makes me feel very pampered.


It doesn't leave oily residue and is very easy to rinse off. The 200g tube lasted me about a couple of months. I use this everyday, on some days, more to cover the entire body.

One gripe though about the cap. It needs to be kept at the drier areas of the bathroom. If it gets wet, some yellowish build up would appear inside - gross. Other than that - perfect!

Boots Mediterranean Olive Bergamot and Walnut Body Scrub  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,

Boots Says:
This gentle body scrub created from simple wholesome Mediterranean oils uses walnut shell and apricot seeds to exfoliate dead skin and leave you with soft, smooth and radiant skin. With nourishing almond oil, moisturizing pistachio oil and softening olive oil.



Foxy Frangipani Says:
Scent: Citrusy + Woody
Nett Wt: 400ml
Price: Less than THB200 (on sale)
Texture: Runny with tiny particles
Color: Lemon with brown bits


This is quite a huge tub of scrub! And I am glad I bought it (sorry luggage, I know you have suffered with all the weight I put you through). The seeds are just about the right texture for a good scrub (body, too harsh for face). Passed the deo-pits test beautifully, without causing irritation to skin.

This managed to help to prevent ingrown hair too. I use this every other day - I tend to have dry skin on my legs, sometimes it gets scaly and started peeling. With regular scrub, and top with a good lotion after that, it keeps the peeling at bay.

The scent is refreshing as well, I like the woody smell. Rinses off very easily, no greasy leftovers. Does not cause sensitivity too. I have one more use before bidding it goodbye, and I find the tub pretty good for recycling. Like, keeping my cotton pads, or storing my "bedak sejuk" (rice powder).


Ingredients
Aqua/Water/Eau (Water), Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) (Mineral Oil), Juglans Regia Shell Powder (Walnut), Prunus Armeniaca Seed Powder (Apricot), Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (Olive), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond), Steareth 21, Phenoxyethanol, Pistacia Vera Seed Oil (Pistacio), Carbomer, Methylparaben, Parfum (Fragrance), Propylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Potassium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA, Denatonium Benzoate, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Benzoic Acid

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,


The Body Shop Says:
Creamy facial scrub that gently exfoliates and removes excess oils, helping to control blemishes to leave the skin smooth. 

Made with ground tea tree leaves, beeswax, and pro-vitamin B5 deep cleanse and condition for clearer, softer skin.

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Nett Wt: 100ml
Texture: Cream with granules
Scent: Strong tea tree
Colour: Green
Price: RM42 (for 2pcs)
Made in: UK

I bought this during one of The Body Shop sale. Last minute score :)
And I'm so glad I got these!

The granules are coarse enough for a good scrub, yet not abrasive to the skin. I love the smell of tea tree oil (I'm a fan). After each scrub, my skin feels smooth and clean; but can be a little drying if not followed by toner / moisturizer.

I use this every other day, instead of twice a week as advised ;)
Some nights, I leave this on a few mins longer as a mask. It does a great job in keeping zits at bay.

Definitely will repurchase, only if they still produce this...

Watson’s Exfoliating Body Wash Kiwi Extract  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,

Watson Says:


Foxy Frangipani Says:

Nett Wt: 400ml
Texture: Runny jelly with fine beads
Scent: Fresh fruity
Colour: Green

When this went on sale, I paid RM8.90 for 2.
Nice for everyday polish, but I find the beads not coarse enough for a proper scrub. Not bad for light exfoliation. But not quite for the pits, knees and elbows.


On wet skin, it feels too slippery, on dry skin it does not feel good either.
Just damp skin would be ideal. Similar to the Orange Extract one.


Smell is refreshing, and it washes off easily. The Husband uses this regularly, he seems to love this. I prefer scrubs from The Body Shop.

The Body Shop Wild Cherry Body Scrub  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,


Foxy Frangipani Says:
Texture: Jam like, with seed and tiny granules
Scent: Deep sweet cherries
Nett Wt: 200ml
Color: Raspberry
Price: RM59.90 (I got this at 70% off)
Made in: UK

One of my first few uses, I felt a lil confused. This scrub has a very deep sweet smell. Almost like cough syrup. But after a few more uses, I thought it smelled rather pleasant! Left my skin lightly scented after each shower.

For less than RM20 (sale) I'd say I'd be re-purchasing this. For full price? Nah, not really.

Its tiny granules (crushed walnut shell) with kiwi seeds, did a great job as a scrub. On damp skin, I use a plastic ice cream spoon to scoop some product; and then rub lightly on my skin. Not to be used on face.


As a deodorant / anti-perspirant user, scrubbing the pits daily is a must for me. I dislike the rubbery residue when using anti-perspirant. And this scrub did a fabulous job in removing those residues.
