I recently purchased a couple of items I have been itching to try from Haus of Gloi. They are an indie bath and body company providing vegan products. I have heard so many great things about this company and its products for a while now and decided to give a go.
The products I bought are mini 2 oz. jars of Peach Mama Pumpkin Butter and Absinthe Bubbling Scrub.
All pictures can be clicked to enlarge.
A sample was provided with my order. A small vial of First Blush Perfume Oil.
Tahitian vanilla bean, white tea, lavender and peach.
You can definitely feel the summer in this one. The peach scent is the one that lingers the most on me, but OH LORD does this smell wonderful. It smells warm, light, and fruity.
Peach Mama Pumpkin Butter
Peach nectar and a host of resins: offertory frankincense, styrax, copaiba balsam and ambered labdanum absolute. Warmed with cassia and a barely audible breath of black patchouli.
I wish I could smell the peach more since it's in the name. It smells warm and you get a strong whiff of the patchouli. Overall, it is a pleasant woodsy scent and the butter itself is silky, luscious, and creamy. I like to slather this on after a shower on problem dry or flaky skin. The paper seen on the top edge is from the seal that did not come off cleanly. No biggie.
Absinthe Bubbling Scrub
Hauntingly herbal. Wormwood and anise swim in a creamy green sea of lemon balm and soft glowing mints. A hefty lump of sugar and the tiniest drop of suggestive deep green moss.
I LOVE this sugar scrub. The sugar breaks up easily and does not cause pain or irritation. My skin definitely feels smoother and softer after a shower. It bubbles up easily and nicely it's actually fun to use, tee hee. I just take a couple of fingers, scoop some out, and start lathering up all over. The scent, however, is a different story. Although not completely unpleasant to my nose, I do get a lot musky mint wafting from the scrub. The lemon gets left behind though, and do like my skin smelling clean and "fresh" because of the lemon. Caution though, do not get water into the product as it tends to get hard.
I got my products right in the TAT so no complaints about the shipping. I didn't have to inquire about my order so I can't really remark on the service. Sizes on these products offered are 2 oz. mini jar (which is what I ordered) and 6 oz. full size jar. I am definitely looking forward to repurchasing from Haus of Gloi.
