Oasis Beauty Fruit Smoothie Exfoliating Mask Review

Oasis Beauty Tropical Smoothie must be one of the most hyped NZ beauty products on the market. Before trying it anywhere I looked I was reading amazing things about it. I was keen to put it to the test when I received a sample along with another item I had purchased from Oasis.

The first thing I noticed was the scent which is definitely pleasant.

I have always been careful with any product claiming to have 'beads' in it as these can sometimes be quite harsh on my skin. But I found that the jojoba beads did exactly what Oasis claimed they would do and left my skin feeling "super smooth and sexy".

I really appreciate the fact that this is a multi-use product - being both an exfoliator and a masque. It means that not only do I not have to find the money to purchase two products, but I also don't have to find the time to use two separate products.

Finally, I can't go past the fact that not only is this product good for my skin as it contains no colour, fragrance or parabens. But it's also cruelty free which always deserves a double thumbs-up in my book.

I was lucky enough to receive three samples from Oasis.

Fruit Smoothie smells absolutely gorgeous. A citrus fragrance. I can't say (yet) what the packaging is like as it came in a wee sample container. The Fruit Smoothie is creamy orange/brown in colour with tiny granules to exfoliate your skin. A little honestly goes a long way. When exfoliating, I do so gently. You can use as a mask or scrub. I left on for 5-10minutes. My face can be sensitive sometimes but it does not sting. When rinsing off from either a mask or scrub, my skin feels super clean, soft and silky. You seriously have to try this product.

Oasis is NZ made in the South Island as well!

I have only used Fruit Smoothie at night and follow up with Beauty Sleep (will review shortly!).

I am keen to buy full size product. Really lucky to have the opportunity to try chosen samples first.

I used this as a face mask when mine ran out and it was an above avergae product but it didn't really stand out for me.

First of all the smell isn't that great, it doesn't really smell like anything but I would have expected it to.

This is a multi use product you can use it as an exfoliate or as facial mask. It has tiny little beady things that exfoliate your face without it being to harsh and stripping your face.

I would want to buy the full product but I feel like at that price their are other products that are more of a stand out for me

This product arrived as a sample from Oasis. It's first appearance was an unusual colour with an earthy aroma. It is very light on the skin and feels like it has tiny grains of sand in it which gently exfoliate. It felt soothing on my skin and my complexion looked and felt clean and clear afterwards. It has an earthy and traditional feel to it, and is a lovely product I would recommend to friends.

Although I didn't pay to purchase it, I think $40 per package is a very fair price for a superior, organic product.

I did like this product, but the smell was very, very funky to me (not a nice funky either). It did smoothen out my skin well, but it took me a lot to use in order for it to do so. :'( I liked how my skin didn't look oily after I used it and how when I rubbed it onto my skin it had a slight pink tone to it. :D I also loved how this product/company is cruelty free. <3 I would use this again, however, it isn't my favourite product to use. :) I would recommend it to a friend, but I would let them know that in order for them to get great results, they would have to use a decent amount.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie combines 3 products into 1 - a physical exfoliator, enzymatic exfoliator and smoothing masque.

This product has evolved over the years into something very special - well done Oasis. I used to use it when it was in a pot and white and clay like. I like that it is now in an easy to dispense pump action bottle and that it shows more of its natural ingredients, colour/smell etc. Whenever I feel my skin needs a bit of a 'pick me up' this is my go to product. So easy to use too - usually in the shower after cleansing my face, I apply this as a scrub (and I love the scrub side of it, very fine) and then leave on as a mask for the clay and fruit enzymes to do their work. Only takes a few minutes and once it's washed off, my skin feels like it's had a really lovely facial - no tightness just glowing and smooth. And of course, as with all their products - there's nothing nasty in there, it's all natural and cruelty free - fantastic.

To me a multi purpose product is a great buy! I feel a little run down with this though as I didn't find it as 'grainy' as I would of it liked to be for an exfoliant perspective. On the other hand it was a great mini mask for when in the shower. I wouldn't really use it as a proper deep cleansing mask, more of a touch up/make you feel a bit refreshed mask. It smells fruity and girly, is really nice on your skin and makes it feel smooth too. This in my eyes is more of a light exfoliant and mask rather than a deep cleansing one, but a great product :)

I was very excited to try this product after hearing nothing but amazing things. Personally, I was a little underwhelmed after opening it up and seeing how small the bottle was, but after using it a couple of times I had completely moved passed it. This 3 in 1 product really is amazing. I really enjoy the small beads that gently exfoliate my skin without drying it out. I have naturally dry skin anyway and this has really helped remove flaky skin and keeping it supple and soft. I was especially impressed when I used it dry before my shower as a mask. Its so good! I am a little disappointed in the smell as I thought it would smell fruity considering the name, but it’s more for the ingredients list than the smell. It’s not too off putting though. I found the packaging good, but the pump size wasn’t quite big enough as I’d have to pump it 6 or so times to get enough for a mask, but only 3 or so for normal exfoliation. Price wise, it’s probably a bit on the expensive side for me, but it does seem to last a little while as it’s only a ‘sometimes’ product. I’ve had the bottle for a few months now and I’m still only halfway through it.

I am about 50% of my way through my bottle of this and I'm loving it.

I was looking for a new scrub that wasn't too harsh and not full of plastic microbeads. I sent away for a sample after learning about them here, and I was so pleased that I bought the full sized version as soon as my sample ran out.

The product itself is a sort of medicinal-looking orange/beige, but don't let that put you off. There's a pleasant fruity scent which is a nice sensory experience, but it's not too overpowering or lingering, so there's no clash with your other products.

I have found that I have used this a lot more as an exfoliant than a mask. I scrub with it approximately every 3 days after cleansing and I absolutely love the soft, smooth feeling that it leaves on my face. I find some scrubs can leave my face feeling tight and dry, so it was great to have none of that aftermath with this product. As for not using it much as a mask, this is really only because I have been using a different mask that I like more. I don't think it's ineffective as a mask, but I have a different preference.

I like the practicality of the packaging. The pump is easy to use and is one of those ones that pushes up from the bottom to make sure you get all the product out. I loathe the wastage and difficulty of use that you can get with the other style of pump! The bottle is clear enough that you can see whats left too.

I have already recommended this to friends and I'm very likely to buy it again.

Recently read an article on BR about trying locally made natural products. Bought myself a sample set and a couple of full sized products. A previous dermalogica Microfoliant advocate I must say that Oasis products and specifically the fruit smoothie scrub are excellent. Nothing fake or overpowering a naturally gentle but at he same time gives the skin decent scrub. I also use on the chest and décolletage area. Nice solid packaging - shower proof and a good pump action with small spout not letting too much out saving wastage. I am a new convert. If you are looking for a natural locally made product that actually works leaving the skin supple but 'scrubbed' and fresh then this is a decent inexpensive value for money option.
