This sugar scrub comes in a cute metal tin. I was feeling lucky to get it from the BR beauty vault.
All you have to do is unscrew the lid and the product is sitting inside, looking and smelling like Milo gets when it’s sat in the cupboard in the damp for too long. But it smells chocolatey, yes? So no issue. Just scoop some out and rub into your skin. Well not scoop exactly – this one must’ve soaked up some moisture somewhere along the line and had set hard, so I actually needed to drill it out!
It contains cacao and a variety of fabulous oils.
I have never tried a sugar scrub so I was excited to try this. I didn’t find it as wonderful as I’d hoped sadly. The nice milo-y colour in the tin translated into something that looks significantly less appealing once sloshed onto the skin and it left the water a rather muddy colour.
It is $19, and although it smells like chocolate, it doesn’t really impress me in terms of a scrub.
I wanted to love it. I love the idea of smelling like chocolate and when I took the lid off it smelt like Chocolate fudge. I think the downfall started with "Rub a generous portion of the sugar scrub into the desired area of skin in a circular motion." When I took a generous portion in my hand, I got fall out while trying to apply it to the desired area, or anywhere south of my arms. Which then looked like number 2's on the shower floor. (fortunately not smelling that way). Scrubbing my arms in the manner recommended I had some win. The best success I had was with my feet, with a small portion, it was excellent on my heels. I am concerned that i had to go back to the tin time and time again, to complete a "body" scrub, so the remaining is slightly damp. I also had to use quite a bit of product, I doubt the tin will last more than 3 scrubs at this rate. Afterwards, my skin did feel smooth, and soft, but I was not smelling like chocolate - have to find a different way to make my man drool.
Tips: use a small amount at a time.
