Love this product line! - 03.16.10
Quick Take: scented, rich lather, hypoallergenic for me

You can smell this lemon right through the package. It wakes me and soothes me at the same time, no matter when I bathe. I am very familiar with this line. It is one of the best out there and is very gentle.

Love the Verbena! - 03.07.10
Quick Take: scented, rich lather, natural

Got a small bar of the Verbena in a collection of products from this company. I really like the soap and the scent. It's light and doesn't clash with the scent I like to wear.

Perfect soap for sensitive skin - 03.05.10
Quick Take: rich lather, natural, creamy and gentle

Since other soap that I used make my skin so dry and itching, I was looking for a soap that is creamy and especially one with shea butter. So, once I bought some makeup at sephora and I received a sample of this soap. I was shocked because for the fist time a soap didn't make my skin dry. This soap is amazing. I have bought two big for never running out of that. Just three words for the skin: clean, moisturized and gentled! Also good for people like me who have eczema.

Quick Take: scented, rich lather, natural

I'm fanatical about washing my hands and using hand sanitizer, and every winter I spend a fortune on hand creme and "nondrying" soaps that aren't always nondrying. This shea butter soap is my solution! It thoroughly cleanses without stripping the skin of moisture. And the bars last a really long time without "melting" or getting soggy.

Quick Take: scented, rich lather

Had been looking at this brand for a while and decided to try the soap! This is delicately scented but very feminine.
And the lather is incredible when I used it with my sponge. Also seems large enough that it's going to last for a while. Definately would purchase again.

Pretty good - 02.22.10
Quick Take: scented, rich lather, natural

I really like this gloss. Honestly, I haven't noticed any plumping, but it has a good smell, nice light flavor and the color is pretty. However, I don't know that I would spend so much on this gloss again. The Fresh or Lorac gloss is just as good and about $10 cheaper.

I like it a lot - 02.21.10
Quick Take: rich lather, natural, moisturizing, gentle

This soap is super moisturizing and has a really nice, thick lather. My only complaint is that the smell isn't lavender-y enough and doesn't stay with me after my shower. Because I like it so much aside from that, I'll probably keep buying it.

Quick Take: scented, rich lather, natural

I love this soap! I love everything about it! It is long lasting which is great and the fact that is doesn't get all melty and nasty in the shower is a huge plus. I purchased the milk one and I love the frangrance, it is very clean and soft without being too much and it does leave my skin very comfortable. I prefer bar soaps to bodywashes because I feel they last longer and this soap def. does that too. I can't express enough how wonderful this soap is. I haven't ever had my skin feel tight and dry after using it. It is always left comfortable and soft. I would love to try the lavender but I just love the softness of the mik one too much to stray right now.

So stinky I tossed immediately - 02.21.10
Quick Take: scented, headache inducing

I used a hundred point perk for this because it is the first thing I've seen that interested me.

Unfortunately, I never got to use the product, because the scent is overpowering. I had to throw it away immediately due to the massive headache it brought on.

I would guess the perfume is not a typical essential oil (EO), but rather a laboratory formula that my nose does not like. I don't get headaches from EOs.

Best Winter Soap - 02.20.10
Quick Take: very moisturizing

This soap is the creamiest soap I have ever used in a bar form. It is gentle but really moisturizes which is great for the winter months in cold climates. The scent is very subtle so it won't interfere with other products or perfume. I love it.

Good cleanser, not too drying, great in winter! - 02.18.10
Quick Take: no strong odor, gentle

I bought this soap since this winter has been so very cold. My hands were dry and seemed to stay that way, so I hoped to find a gentle cleanser to use when I wash my hands. Whew. Search over, I've already bought a backup.

The soap smells nice, but the scent isn't strong and it doesn't linger.

Beautiful scent - 02.18.10
Quick Take: scented, natural

I gave the lavender soap to my aunt as a gift for the holidays. Lavender is her favorite scent; however, she is also sensitive to strong smells (headaches and all that). But she LOVED the L'Occitane soaps... not to overpowering but delivering the scent she loves.
