These days a bar of soap or a bath or shower gel is not the only way to wash our bodies. The imagination of companies and businesses in this area is pretty impressive, which means as customers we get variety and choices to match our needs, wants and budgets. A product that falls into this category as got to be a whipped soap! And using Lolly & Moo’s Crystal Whipped Soap that was released last year was an experience. It costs £8.50 for 140g.
Why did I use this?
I’ve enjoyed using whipped soaps. It’s a great and fun alternative to other products you could use in the bath or shower. All of the whipped soaps I’ve bought have been from Lolly & Moo. So when they made and released Crystal Whipped soap last year I HAD to try it because it looked and sounded amazing!
What’s a Whipped Soap?
If you’re not too sure what a whipped soap is, its exactly what it sounds like. It’s a soap that has been whipped and fluffy in texture and you use it to wash your body with. You use it the same way you would with a bar, pop it on a sponge or on your hand and wash you body.
How does it look?
This whipped soap comes in a clear jar so you can see exactly what you are getting. Lilac in colour, and literally piped into it’s packaging giving an edible ice-cream look to it. Sprinkled with dark purple mica pigment, gold and silver glitter and tiny silver stars. And how could I forget the semi-precious stone placed on the top like that very important cherry on top of a cake? This whipped soap could easily be THAT cake you dribble over while passing counters selling delicious cakes and pastries in your favourite supermarkets, restaurants or cake shops. This..is.. SUNNING!
Texture
Airy and light, but this has a good thickness to it. Very easy to use and feels very luxurious. If you could use a body butter to wash with that had been whipped to an inch of its life, this is how I would describe the texture to be.
Fragrance
Inspired by a well known fragrance, this SMELLS like a perfume! First thing I pick up on is floral. Its not a strong floral but definitely a fresh one. There’s a hint of citrus, a little sweetness and lastly musk which gives it depth. Its a gorgeous fragrance, easy and pleasant to smell and just the right strength to enjoy.
On the skin
When I say you don’t need much you really don’t. An amount the size of the tip of you finger placed on a sponge, is ample. With the addition of warm water from the shower this foamed up beautifully. It’s like bathing in something that could be a body moisturiser, it feels that hydrating. Cleans the skin without drying it, and gives it that hit of moisture thanks to ingredients such as apricot kernel oil.
Recommended?
YES! It does what its supposed to do which is to clean the skin, but its so much more than that. The way it look, it’s so enjoyable to use and it keeps my skin in great condition while washing it. This is affordable luxury at its best!
