Hi guys,
I’ve had a bit
of a rough week as there was a sudden loss in the family. You never expect it
to happen but when it happens in these circumstances you can’t help but feel
shocked and helpless. As well as coming to terms with that, I have had to
finish some work for my college report and I honestly could have done without
it this week but I am glad it’s done and now I can get to work on the actually
body of the report. I hate planning my work, I would rather just get it done. I
don’t mind planning every other aspect of my life but to tell someone how I
plan to do a report seems like a waste of time. It’s been tough but you know
what, life goes on. I won’t bore you all with my worries so let’s move on shall
we?
I gave you a rundown
of The Bakewell Soap Company a few weeks ago and I thought I would give you my
final thoughts on the Soapatoes. As I said, I was using my Lemongrass and
Ginger Soap (£3.95) as it is supposed to help with blemish prone skin as I wholeheartedly
agree with that statement. The smell is very intense with ginger so it’s great
for using in the morning as it helps to wake me up. I can’t say i haven’t had any
breakouts since using it as I am just a blemish prone kind of a girl. Like most
girls I get hormonal acne, especially along my jawline and chin and although
this soap hasn’t taken that away completely, it has calmed it down ever so
slightly so it isn’t as red as it usually is. This is now a firm staple in my
bathroom and I haven’t gone a day without using it.
At night I
have been using Champa Flower and Honeysuckle (£3.95) as it is supposed to moisturise
and hydrate. As you know by now, I do suffer from dry skin every now and then
and after wearing makeup all day, you want nothing more than to add moisture
back into your face and this does just that. This is such a beautiful scented
soap, the only problem is the fact that it doesn’t remove the last traces of
mascara so I have to go over my lashes with eye makeup remover but it does help
to hydrate my skin and I’m not left with that tight feeling after I have dried
my face.
I have really
enjoyed using these soaps. As I was sent soaps for various skin types, I had to
give them to others as I don’t suffer from bad acne or really dry skin. One
person who reported back was my sisters boyfriend who has acne, he is only 18
so he is getting the brunt of teenage acne just now and wanted something to
help so I gave him the May Chang and Calendula soap. He said that his face felt
really clean, more so with this than with any other soap he has used before. He
also stated that it helped sooth his skin which was nice to hear. The only
thing he wasn’t so keen on was the smell, it is very strong with lemon though
so it may not suit everyone’s tastes.
Oh these sound (and look) pretty cool. :) I'm really sorry for your loss x
