Bath & Body

Review: H2O+ Milk Shower Gel, Body Scrub, Body Lotion

February 12, 2009 Paris B 6 Comments

They say Cleopatra had skin as smooth as silk and as white as magnolia because she used to bathe in milk. If anything can give me skin as smooth as silk and white as magnolia, I’m not complaining! 😛 But milk is a little hard to bathe in right? So, I picked up the Milk series of shower gel, body scrub and body lotion from H2O+ recently. They are sold separately, but I picked up the Milk Trio gift box or trial pack for RM69.

H20+ Milk shower gel, body scrub body lotion

There were 3 items in the gift pack – Milk Shower Gel, Milk Body Scrub and Milk Body Lotion.

My first reaction – “It doesn’t smell like milk” which can be taken any way you wish. In fact, it has quite a strong fragrance that takes some getting used to. By common consensus with Kahani, it was agreed that it smells like Johnson & Johnson Baby Milk Bath.

In the gift pack I purchased, the products come in 60ml tubes. Very useful for travel. If you buy the product individually, the Milk series of products come in a bottle resembling a milk bottle – uber cute.

Review: The Body Shop Moroccan Rose Shower Gel

February 7, 2009 Paris B 17 Comments

Next to blushes, my other crack is shower gels. I love  shower gels of any variety from aromatherapy to floral, from fresh to spicy. I do shy from fruity though – if it smells to sweet to eat, its probably too sweet for me to use – thats my philosophy. So, when I saw and smelt the shower gel from the new Moroccan Rose collection at The Body Shop, I knew I had to pick it up.

The Body Shop Moroccan Rose Collection

In the pretty pink bottle, the shower gel smells lovely – a delicate fresh floral smell of roses. I could just imagine my shower stall filled with the lovely smell of Moroccan Roses after my shower. What a treat!

All that remained in my imagination however. When I excitedly took the shower gel home and into the shower, I was immediately disappointed. There was barely any scent at all!

Review: Asiatic Beauty Pegaga Soap Bar

January 22, 2009 Paris B 7 Comments

Courtesy of Julea of Asiatic Beauty, I received a bar of Pegaga body bar soap.

Pegaga bar soap

Pegaga (also known as Pennywort leaves, gotu kola, centella asiatica) is a herb popular in Malaysia for its medicinal properties and has a reputation for boosting mental activity and for helping a variety of systemic illnesses, such as high blood pressure, rheumatism, fever, and nervous disorders (Read more here and here) The Pegaga bar soap contains extract of pegaga leaves and is supposed to clean and condition, gently exfoliating without damaging the skin.

The Asiatic Beauty Pegaga bar soap is a largish translucent glycerin soap bar made with pegaga extract. What makes this soap bar a little special and out of the ordinary is the inclusion of ground apricot kernals into the soap. This transforms the soap bar from a mere cleaning agent to a scrubbing and cleaning agent. Quite clever!

Review: Garnier Bodylight Body Scrub and Body Lotion

December 4, 2008 Paris B 16 Comments

After the Christmas frenzy over the last couple of days, we are back to our regular scheduled programme on My Women Stuff which is reviews and beauty stuff. Today, we focus on the body and this product just happens to be in one of the gift packs 😉

Its been roughly a month since I first started test-running the Garnier BodyLight Brightening Exfoliating Scrub and BodyLight Whitening Hydrating UV lotion and I think I’m ready with an informed opinion on the product.

The Garnier BodyLight Brightening Exfoliating Scrub and BodyLight Whitening Hydrating UV lotion are new body care products by Garnier and have just been launched here in Malaysia. They are easy to spot in the pharmacy, with their bright cheery yellow bottles which is a nice change from the regular white bottles that body care products come in. I wrote about the product on an earlier post about the new Garnier Bodylight Scrub and Lotion.

Garnier Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub

The Garnier Bodylight Scrub comes in a tube which is handy in the shower. The product looks rather like a yellow gel when squirted out of the tube, but do be warned that you don’t need much. It doesn’t look like there are any grains in it unlike most other body scrubs. I’m used to those with apricot kernals or ground bits of seed in it, but you don’t get that in the Garnier. What you get is hardish granules which I’m informed is sugar (it doesn’t attract ants though).

When rubbed on the body, the translucent yellow gel turns white and you can feel the hardish granules on the surface of your skin. It dissolves as you go along and I always take care never to rub too hard but as Garnier uses sugar as their exfoliating ingredient, I find that it does not scratch your skin unlike apricot kernals. A good rigorous scrub of the skin in the shower is enough to leave you with lovely soft skin when you step out, with a lingering scent of lemons.
