Cleaning the skin on our bodies isn’t the most interesting or exciting thing to do. It’s a daily task which most of us don’t think about. But there’s so many different types of products we can use that can take bathing to a slightly more indulgent level, especially when our bodies are crying out for more moisturising during the colder seasons. A quick and easy product to use is whipped soaps. I haven’t bought any recently but I did win two in a competition from a company called Olee Cosmetics. I received Vibe & Pink Candy Whipped Soaps 30ml each in size. So what are they like?
What is a whipped soap?
A whipped soap is a product you wash the body with. It’s a rich, thick formulation which you apply to damp skin and cleanses it like a bar of soap or shower/bath gel. It normally contains an ingredient which is highly moisturising, such as coconut oil, shea butter etc. So it won’t strip the skin and will leave it soft, smooth and lightly moisturised after use.
Olee Cosmetics Vibe & Pink Candy – Packaging
Both of these whipped soaps are housed in small, lidded tins. Slightly bigger than a lip balm tin. Very cute and I can see this being perfect to travel with.
How do they look?
Both look the same but coloured differently. You can tell they’ve been whipped into these tins because of the pattern/shapes these are in. They look solid, no movement to them and very glossy in appearance. Vibe’s colouring is almost sweetie like, rhubarb and custard, because it’s a mixed swirl of soft pink and yellow. Pink Candy is a bright bubble gum pink, with both of these whipped soaps glistening with some form of pigment on the top. Beautiful!
Fragrance
Vibe has a tropical, fruity scent to it. Very Summery and quite mouth watering. Pink Candy smells just like baby lotion, so fresh, clean and would be loved by anyone and everyone.
Consistency & texture
These look soft in texture like whipped cream. But placing my finger in these whipped soaps, they’re quite solid. Very similar to the texture of a cleansing balm where at first its solid, and then it melts. Except this doesn’t melt like a balm. It does become softer but it still has hold until you either rub it into your skin or onto a sponge.
In the shower & bath
A finger tip of Pink Candy was enough to wash my whole body, so not much needed product wise. I scooped it out, placed it on a wet sponge, rubbed it in and used! The whipped soap created a sponge full of creamy foam (rather than bubbles) which felt great on the skin and very luxurious.
Skin felt clean and well moisturised after use and lightly fragranced. This was a decadent way of cleaning the skin on my body. Perfect for people with drier skin, people who love their products with texture and for those who see bathing as a pleasure not as a chore.
Recommended?
I love these whipped soaps for lots of different reasons. The packaging is cute and practical and great for travel or to sample the product. Look and texture of these whipped soaps is so inviting and beautifully made. The product does what its designed to do and is a joy to use with both Vibe and Pink Candy gorgeous in fragrance. Recommended? Yes. Great for stocking fillers? Definitely! Perfect for travel? Absolutely.
