Beautifully brown and gold box with a plastic corner window arrived – with a great container that matched the name of the product.
The container was really easy to open – even when in the shower, and sealed perfectly to go in my travel bag without wondering if it was going to leak. I loved the fine crystal buttery cream that is really easy spreadable over my face and lips. It melted onto my skin when using little circle movements.
It gently buffed away grime and stickiness from my face and dry lips, while definitely moisturizing at the same time – my skin is very dull at present caused by the 9 hour day spend in a air-conditioned office. The product has a bit of a cocoa butter and coffee smell, not overwhelming, which I really liked.
Little bit of a wake up remedy when used n the morning, which all of us need. You don’t need to use much of the product and a little bit of a scoop motion with my fingers from the wide mouth container really went a long way.
Lately I have stopped wearing makeup to work – just to give my face a bit of a rest during this hot humid days we have been experiencing – and found that days after using the product it felt as if it had softened and smoothed my skin. The longer I have been using it – only a week in and I definitaly feel my skin be softer and more subtle. It is a really esy way to nourish my skin without having to spend hours, which I don’t have, to look after my skin.
I think the scrub has done exactly what it claims to do – it very gently exfoliated and clean my skin while leaving it soft moisturized and left me with a unique facial cleansing experience. Definitely worth spending the money - pretty sure it will last more than a month using 3 times a week and very easy affordable.
Thanks to BR yet again for putting me on such an exciting trial! When BR first put up a post about these scrubs my initial thought was OMG I NEED THOSE!! Of course I've heard (but not used) of sugar scrubs for your body but not before for your face. And being L'Oreal it was kind of a big deal.
The product comes in a heavy duty glass jar with a secure tight screw on lid - anything that comes in a glass jar gets my tick of approval. The product is light brown which reminds me of a mixture of chocolate ice-cream and chocolate mousse. It feels fluffy with a bit of texture to the touch. However once on your face I ultimately know my face is getting the exfoliation fix I need. It feels great on my skin, as I said I get a good scrub, and at the same time the product moisturises my skin and leaves it feeling so soft. I wouldn't say the scent is to die for but it certainly smells great.
The packaging states the product is suitable for your face and lips but I kinda went overboard and tried it on my hands, knees and elbows and it worked a treat.
Would I buy it? Heck yes! My dry skin loves this sugar scrub!
Tips: Make sure your face is bone dry to start or the water will melt away the scrub; don't store in your shower (whilst the lid is tightly fitted, if you use it in the shower you're more likely to get drops of water in the pot)
