Beauty Post - Bath & Body Works Golden Sugar Scrub in Japanese Cherry Blossom

[11/09/2016]
Assalamu’alaikum and good day,

I’M BACK – just for a while though :(
It’s the start of the third term school holiday which meaaaaaaaans? Holiday fun? NOPE, my exam is a week away. No time for fun now, I have to stay focus. ><


[ Images of product will be uploaded later on!]

Without further ado, let’s just get started,

Any of you remember my first ever beauty post? I hope you do! If you haven’t, then click this link to read!
Beauty Post – Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub
I finished that whole tub and moving to another body scrub, which is Bath & Body Works’ Golden Sugar Scrub. I didn’t buy this though; my friend bought it for me as a birthday gift! So I don’t actually know how much this costs. This scrub is a little grittier than the Soap & Glory’s and it also will leave your skin feeling oddly ‘buttery’? HAHA, I better find a different adjective to replace that. xD It is VERY DENSE TOO! The sugar crystals are lumped together and you need quite a decent amount to actually completely lather your whole body. Though some said it is based of non-soluble sugar crystals but once I actually lather it, it dissolves pretty well!

Product description:
SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Japanese Cherry Blossom Golden Sugar Scrub
Japanese cherry blossom, Asian pear, mimosa petals.
Our luxuriously rich formula smoothes and conditions skin:
-         Contains naturally exfoliating Sugar Crystals and nourishing Apricot and Sweet Almond oils.
-         Leaves skin feeling soft and silky smooth

CAUTION: May make surfaces slippery. (Yes guys, I nearly tripped before because of this, bahaha)

Key ingredients:
Exfoliant – Sucrose
Moisturisers – Petrolatum, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil & Sweet Almond Oil

How is this product like?
As I mentioned above, it is gritty, it is NOT GENTLE, a warning for those who have very sensitive skin, and this is not for you. BUT, it is very good on scrubbing dry, flaky skin though! As claimed by allure.com, it is “even powerful enough to polish rough soles”, got me laughing at the statement, it is true though, if you put more pressure when scrubbing this, it does hurt, but it’s not bad, for me. And also a nice tip I read, you can mix this with your normal body soap! I better try that next time!

UPDATE: I tried using this along with my body soap, and its the best thing ever!! Tots recommending you guys to do it this way.

The wonderful thing about this is, it leaves your skin perfumed with cherry blossom, one of my favourite scents! Fruity and floral! Going back to the ‘buttery’ feeling description, it will leave your skin feeling a little oily…it confuses your mind whether you’ve rinsed well or not when it’s actually already well washed! Your skin will be super duper smooth, oddly shiny too HAHA.

The packaging is very nice though! It comes with a squeeze bottle with a flip cap(?) but I can’t really squeeze out the product from the hole, ._____. I assume because the grains are too clumped together? So I need to open the cap to get the contents.

The product is quite a lot too so it will last you for about few months, depending on how often you scrub. Once again, to remind everyone, DO NOT OVER SCRUB/EXFOLIATE, it’s not fun!

Product rate?
3.5 out of 5.

Worth repurchasing?
Ummmmmmm, hahahaha, Yes, maybe. But I better try out other body scrubs first and find the ideal one for me.

This post will be delayed too, due to some difficulties in both the access on the internet and a lost phone cable.

.... BAHAHAH, true. I'M SO SAD. T-T


I'll see you again soon! x

Goodbye and thankyou for reading,

Love you. FS
