I love this sugary goo! I received a sample of this in my prizes from the Lipglossiping giveaway in January. I got lots of goodies, but this is the best smelling thing I have ever come across! I only have a tiny bit left and I’m not using it up because every time I go past the bathroom I have to go and smell it! Creepy? Yes. But I don’t care!
Haus of Gloi are a company in the US who make lovely vegan soap/scrubs/lotions/perfume oils in original and unique scents.
This one is described as “Tart lychee fruit and black tea met with a splash of coconut milk.” I am not sure what lychee smells like, but I’ve noticed recently that The Body Shop have a lychee blossom range. I’ll have to go and have a sniff and see if that is what the gorgeous smell is. It does smell quite fruity, but not a sharp citrus scent, just a nice smell. I have no idea how to describe it. My first thought when I smelt it was that it kinda smells like those shops that are full of candles and incense. It’s nice, but I can’t tell you what it is.
The product itself is a sugar exfoliant that contains sugar, shea butter and lots of lovely oils. You rub it into damp skin and it buffs away dead skin and emulsifies. When you wash it off you are left with really soft skin. The oils really moisturise my skin and leave a slight film. It doesn’t feel horrible though, it just feels like you have already moisturised. My skin has never felt this soft, especially on my arms. Also, the lovely smell of the product clings to your skin and you can smell it all day.
After 3 days I ordered myself a large pot of this and they also offer sample sized pots so I picked up a couple of them as well. I can’t wait till the pumpkin lotion comes back in stock next month, I really want to try that too.
Have you tried any Haus of Gloi products before? Can you recommend any of the scents they have? Some sounds lovely, but I’m a bit scared to try them! Also, how do you describe smells?! My description above is rubbish, I know. All you really know from my description is that I really like it :P
Also it was my kitty’s birthday this week! He’s now 2! I can’t believe it. It feels weird we got him when he was only 8 weeks old and he was a little monster, now he’s 2 years old and he’s a big monster! If you want to see some kitty pictures then check under the break. If not don’t click that link, it’s kitten-tastic!
Look how cute he was when he was a little kitten!
Although he was a little wrecking monster! This is him eating a dangling bit on my top! Everything that dangles gets destroyed!
Now he is a big fat monster. He sleeps more and doesn’t try to eat me so much. Although, he does look like he is going to kill me in this picture. I wanted to get a birthday picture of him, he didn’t approve.
I coaxed him to pose for some scruffs though. He was sitting in the window talking to the birds and I managed to get a quick picture in. Cute sideways head!
Sorry for the excessive kitty pictures, but I love him so much. Even when he wakes me up in the middle of the night for food. Maybe a little less when he tried to eat my toes though! :P
