KBShimmer Soaps

I’ve been ordering nail polish from KBShimmer.com (love them) and with my last purchase, I decided to try out their bar soaps. I ordered three… Kaleido-Soap, Raspberry Vanilla Soap and Pink Sugar Soap. So far I’ve tried two and I love love love the way they smell. They are so fragrant that my whole bathroom ends up smelling like it.

I used the Pink Sugar Soap first and although the smell is magnificent, the fact that the soap is dark brown/black concerned me because I thought it would stain my washcloth (which it didn’t). One of the ingredients is activated charcoal, which I’m sure is the cause of this. I didn’t like how the dark color ran down the side of the tub from the soap dish. For that reason alone, I wouldn’t get this particular soap again and I would probably stay away from darker colored soaps in future orders.

The Kaleido-Soap is the second one I tried. I love that it has so many different colors. It smells very nice and fresh. I actually planned on ordering this one again, but it’s currently out of stock. =(

Next will be the Raspberry Vanilla Soap. I’m sure I’ll love it. I can’t wait to try other scents. They also have sugar scrubs, lotions, body butters and my fav… nail polish! Maybe you’ll find something you like there.

Pause… I just realized the soap contains lard… LARD!!!!

Senk Shampoo Bar

Posted in CurlBox, Product Review by

I finally used my Senk Shampoo Bar from my September CurlBox. I was skeptical about a shampoo bar, which is why I took so long to test it out. I followed the instructions and sectioned my hair in 4 and shampooed each section. It lathered a lot more than I expected and it seemed like a little bit goes a long way because I have a lot of the Senk Shampoo Bar left. I thought the shampoo would have been too harsh for my hair, but when I rinsed it out my hair didn’t feel stripped. My hair actually felt moisturized.

According to the website, the ingredients are as follows:

Senk Shampoo Bar Ingredients: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Water, Sodium Hydroxide (Saponifying Agent), Rosemary Oleoresin Extract, Jojoba Oil, Essential Oils of Geranium Bourbon, Bay Oil, Palma Rosa, Carrot Seed & Lemon

I loved that it contains so many oils. I’m wondering how my scalp will respond to it (my scalp has been going through some things). I went to check out the website (and use my 20% off coupon code) and I ordered the Senk Shampoo Bar and Conditioner Set… along with 2 soaps (I couldn’t resist). The coupon code for 20% off is CBox and it expires on 11/15/12, just in case you were interested. http://www.senicanaturals.com

Have you ever tried a shampoo bar? What are your thoughts?
