by Arpita

Hello Beauties!

Today we will focus on a product by Yardley London! It is the jasmine Luxury Soap. When I saw this super affordable soap from, I could not stop myself from buying it!

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 45 for 100 g

My Take:

This soap comes in an attractive cardboard box with all details printed on it. The soap is wrapped up in another waxy paper-wrap placed inside the box.

Yardley London Jasmine Luxury Soap Review

This soap is milky white in color. This soap smells like fresh jasmine flowers- extremely natural! I am sure; people who love the fragrance of Jasmine flowers will love this soap. However, the fragrance does not linger onto the skin, which is a con. As soon as you step out of the washroom, the fragrance disappears. It glides on easily onto the body and lathers nicely. It removes all dirt and oil from the body making it smooth and soft. It dries out the skin a bit which may be a problem for those with dry skin. It will be best suited for those with oily skin.

The soap does not melt like crazy at all. In fact, if used properly, it will last for like 20+ days too! It lathers really nicely and cleans the body really well without leaving any slippery or gooey feel. It makes the skin squeaky clean and gets washed away pretty easily! 🙂

Overall, the soap does its job nicely. One advice- If you do not like Jasmine flowers, then stay away from this! Thus, a good body butter or body cream is necessary.

PROS:

Affordable
Attractive Packaging
Cleans the skin nicely
Makes the skin smooth and soft
Fragrance is really fresh and seems natural
Lathers nicely
Shelf life is good
Does not melt like crazy

CONS:

Fragrance does not linger on
Dries out the skin a bit (This problem can be solved by using a good body cream/butter)

Rating: 4/5

Final Verdict:

If you like the fragrance of fresh jasmine Flowers, then this is a must buy for you! I completely recommend it to all Jasmine lovers. I personally will not repurchase this, as I do not like the fragrance of Jasmine flowers…There are a lot of better soaps out in the market.

Khadi Gulab Chandan Handmade Soap Review

8 Replies

Hey Girls!

How many of you take shower twice a day or even more than that? Well, I am one of those silly girls who can take shower for any no. of times in a day lol. During the harsh summers, here in Hyderabad, I started taking showers twice a day and that is when I thought of trying the new range of herbal soaps because I didn’t want my skin to get dried up.

Coming to the point, I have been a great fan of the Khadi herbals. This is because they are organic, cruelty free and affordable. Today, I am going to do a quick review on their Gulab Chandan Soap.

Price and Quantity:

125 gm for 55 INR

My Experience:

This handmade soap is a transparent rectangular bar covered in a thin plastic sheet. Firstly, I’m not fond of Gulab (Rose) flavor or smell I bought it just because it has Chandan (Sandalwood) and for its toning effect claims. I must say it didn’t disappoint me.

When I cut opened the plastic seal, the strong rose smell hit my nose and I almost fainted lol. I don’t like the smell. But once I kept open in the soap dish the smell gradually decreased making it ready to use. When you use it, the rose smell (this time with a hint of chandan) again covers up the nose :/

But once you wash it off, it goes off (for which I love it ) It tones up the skin well without making it dry.
When I use it with loofah, it gives me immense lather which I again love 😀 I used it in the evening shower and I didn’t have to use a moisturizer in the night (at least when I know I’m going to sleep and do nothing else). As a bar, it is just nice. It works best of oily skin.

PROS:

Works up super lather and doesn’t make the skin dry
Transparent package which shows what exactly we are going to use.
Ingredient list is mentioned.
Suits almost all the skin types and works best on oily skin.
Organic
Against animal testing
Affordable
Easily available

CONS:

I can’t think of any.

Final Words:

Well, this is not a must have product but people who love to experiment and who love the rose petal smell can give it a try.

Khadi Mix Fruit Handmade Herbal Soap Review

Hey all!

I am a shower gel person. I hardly use soaps. But for the summer I decided to take a break from shower gels and try out a glycerin based soap. I’ve been using Khadi Fruit Soap throughout the summer and here is my take on the product.

Claims:

Price & Quantity:

Rs. 54 for 125 gm.

Shelf Life:

2 years from the date of manufacture

My Experience:

The packaging is very simple. The soap is wrapped in a transparent plastic sheet. No cardboard packaging. It has labels on both the sides with the details of the soap. I’m not going to complain about the packaging as it is manufactured in a small scale industry. What matters is the actual product and compared to other drug store brands, this one is way better.

This soap has a strong fragrance which is not fruity at all to my senses. It smells strongly of coconut oil (at least for me). The ingredient list doesn’t mention any fruits. So this is quite confusing! Anyway! I can bear the smell. It’s okay for me but for sensitive noses it might be unbearable. The fragrance doesn’t linger on after bath though.

The soap has a smooth texture and lathers up really well with a loofah. You can get clean feeling only upon using a loofah. The soap gets rinsed off easily and doesn’t leave behind any slippery feel. I haven’t used this soap on my face. So I’m not sure about how it works on facial skin. For my face I prefer to use my daily cleanser.

This is a very refreshing soap. I can feel my skin squeaky clean. This is what I need for summers. It did not dry up my skin. I don’t feel the need to apply a body lotion after bath. This soap may be drying during winter though. This is perfect for summer use.

Initially I used to find it difficult to grip the soap due to its large size but with regular use the edges soften and the size reduces which becomes easy to use. This soap won’t last for more than a month. This is not a con for me as this proves that the soap is chemical free.

I like the fact that it is herbal and free from chemicals. I’ve already finished one bar and using the second one. The soap looks like a piece of fruit cake to me! Cute!

Continuous usage for over a month now, has made my skin really soft. Kudos to that!

Coming to the pricing, I feel it is economically priced since the quantity is more and it is a herbal product which will not affect your skin in any way.

There are plenty of variants in the Khadi Soap range. You can check them out on their website and you can also buy them from their site.
