Lux Naturals Haul

My Lux Naturals goodies came today! I love finally getting packages in the mail because I'm kind of impatient when it comes to ordering online. You might remember that this company sent me some of their products to review a few months ago. Everything here was purchased with my own money.

Soo much bubble wrap and packing peanuts.
You obviously don't need to worry about anything breaking on the way ;)

Moonlight Pomegranate soap - this is a repurchase because it smells amazing. I didn't get to use all of the first bar because my mom took it. It was my favorite but I let her keep it anyway. I previously described this as smelling like candy, but I realized today what it really reminds me of.. do you remember fruit stripe gum? It had a zebra on the front and came with temporary tattoos..

Blackberry Sage soap - this is a new one for me. It's kind of difficult to describe. It's like a deep berry scent. Strong, but not overwhelmingly sweet or fruity.

My package came with 2 free samples of soap. These are small pieces of Sandalwood Amber (left) and White Tea & Ginger (right).

I'm not too fond of Sandalwood Amber. It smells woodsy and musky. Kind of manly, so maybe my boyfriend will like it. I do really like White Tea and Ginger. It's a light, clean smell; the kind of thing you'd reach for when you want a nice scent without a lot of fuss.

Moonlight Pomegranate shea body butter - This is nice, although the soap smells a little better in my opinion. The consistency is different from the last shea butter I got. It's more like a thick mousse. It's still really moisturizing though and a little bit goes a long way.

At first I thought I was just imagining but the size of the jar has definitely gotten smaller. The new one is on the left and the older one is on the right.

Lux Naturals Shea Body Butter

OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5
WOULD I REPURCHASE?: Yes
WHERE TO PURCHASE: http://www.luxnaturals.com

REVIEW: The product comes in a jar with a screw top lid. The shea butter itself is very thick. It starts melting once it comes into contact with my skin. At first, it feels slightly oily, but it sinks in quickly after you rub it in. My skin is usually dry and sometimes itchy, and this shea butter doesn't irritate at all. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized, soft, and smooth. You only need a tiny tiny amount because a little bit goes a long way. The jar should last me a long time. I've been using it for the past 3 weeks and I've barely made a dent. At $16.00, you recieve 4.2 ounces of product. I love how nice this feels on my skin.

I was hoping this particular scent would have a stronger vanilla smell, but I definitely think it leans more towards lavender. I'm not really fond of it. However, I don't think this is too much of a con since the shea butters come in many different scents. I'd definitely purchase this product, probably in a different scent.

POSITIVES:
- Moisturizes well
- Sinks in quickly
- Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
- Affordable considering a little goes a long way
- Made with natural ingredients
- Comes in many scents

NEGATIVES:
- Feels a little oily at first
- Jar isn't good for travel

NOTE: These pictures were taken when I first received the product.

Lux Naturals Soaps

OVERALL RATING: 5/5
WOULD I REPURCHASE?: Yes
WHERE TO PURCHASE: http://www.luxnaturals.com

REVIEW: I have dry skin, so I usually stick to body wash. I like the squeaky-clean feel of bar soaps, but they really dry out my skin. A few weeks ago, I received some products to try out from a company called LUX NATURALS. I was very interested in their brand because this is my first experience with natural, hand-made products.

I really love these soaps. For $6.50, you get 4.5 ounces of soap - more affordable than other brands like Lush.They're handmade with natural ingredients that are gentle on my skin. They lather well and make my skin feel squeaky clean without the dryness.

There are so many different scents to choose from, and the bars look adorable with their bright colors and designs. The scents are very accurate. What you see on the label is really what you smell.

The only negative is that they dissolve a bit quickly when exposed to shower water. However, this can be avoided as long as you store the soaps in a dry place when not in use. Instead of using the whole bar in the shower, I cut off a piece in order to make them last longer. I would definitely recommend these.

POSITIVES:
- Amazing scents
- Cute colors/designs
- Affordable
- Produces a rich lather
- Not drying to the skin
- Handmade, animal friendly, vegetarian, eco friendly, and petroleum free

NEGATIVES:
- Soap dissolves quickly if you leave it exposed to the shower water

Moonlight Pomegranate - my favorite so far


Red Delicious Apple - looks & smells like a real, crisp apple!


Cinnamon Bun - yummy and warm


Vanilla Lavender - nice, soft smell


$3 soap saver


a small piece of soap (this is cinnamon bun)
