Hello beauties! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! :D But, me not happy as I don't have any special plan (as he is not here :( ). But do share your pretty plans and mushy stories with me. That would make it up for me. :D

WHAT THEY CLAIM:
"The jasmine flower is known for its alluring aphrodisiac aroma. What you may not know is that it also reduces muscle stiffness, sprains & other physical aches. Treats headaches, coughs & breathing difficulties.
This soap improves skin elasticity, helping to reduce visibility of scars & stretch marks. It leaves your skin gently cleansed & lightly perfumed as you leave the bath. Use to reduce greasy skin, while soothing dry, sensitive & irritated skin."

MY EXPERIENCE: When I first received this soap, I was skeptical about the fact that it smelled of Jasmine and I mostly abhor products with strong Jasmine smell and thought this would turn out to be the same. But, when I smelled the soap for the first time I found the smell to be very muted, which was definitely a *thumbs up* for me. Next, came the ingredients, which is 100% vegan and organic, hence it never dries out my skin or make it flaky like other regular soaps do. However, it melts away quickly since it doesn't contain any artificial hardeners or preservatives. So it is better to cut it into smaller pieces according to requirement (lesson learnt :P ). Also, I am not sure if the aromatic properties and claims worked at all, as I didn't see much changes. Yes, it does give a pretty good feeling being a luxurious soap but then I didn't notice any extraordinary effects.
WHAT I LIKED:
- Contains only vegan ingredients and other essential oils.
- I really liked the muted Jasmine smell, but then it doesn't stay on the skin.
- Lathers nicely and doesn't dry out my skin.
- Being a luxurious soap, you get quite a good quantity for the price.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
- You need to keep the soap dry and cut it into amounts as required, else it melts away quickly.
- I didn't see any extraordinary effects as per the product claims. I guess you won't see any immediate results, but maybe with longer usage it might show.
- Some of the particles in the soap pokes at skin, which I find a bit odd.
VERDICT: If you are into organic or aromatic products, then I think you should check out the Soulflower range, as they are pretty affordable and good for skin. Even, I would like to try out some of the other frangrances like Bite Me Chocolate, Everyskin Lavender Soap, etc.
RATINGS: 3.75 out of 5
