What a fun privilege to review something that you can literally put your feet up and enjoy!! I received a sampler of soaps from Virginia Soaps and Scents. I received three olive oil based soaps, a shampoo bar, and a sample laundry kit.
The soaps were just dreamy. They smelled so good and lathered up real well. I really enjoyed using these. I used the "Oatmeal and Honey" bar in the shower and it was wonderful. I used the "Coconut Lemongrass" in my hand soap dish and well, the "Fresh Orange" one, I am holding on to because it just smells so good. It was great to know that I am only using all natural ingredients when I am using these. They seemed to wash well and lather well. I would definitely buy these again!!
I was a little curious about the "Shampoo" Bar. I didn't know how that would work. I tried it!! It lathered up very well with only a little water, but I felt that it was a little too harsh on my hair. After just one shampoo I could feel my hair was pretty rough. I added just a little conditioner to my hair because I was worried how it would turn out. I tried it one more time just see if it would have the same effect - sure enough my hair was like Brillo. I just cut off most of my hair so if it had been real long, it would not have surprised me. But with it being short (shoulder length) I was disappointed it did not work for me. It would probably work well as a clarifying type shampoo for occasional or weekly use.
The last item I was able to sample was the laundry soap kit. I have been making my own laundry soap since earlier this year so I was curious to how this one worked. The kit comes with the soap already grated, and pre-measured washing soda and borax. I had my son make this up and all went well. The sample we had lasted us a month, but imagine the full size kit would easily last two months if you did one load of laundry a day. It really can save you a lot of money in the long run - and you don't have to worry about what chemicals you are putting on your clothes that you wear.
The company offers bulk purchases, so the more you buy the more you save. They don't discount the laundry cleaning bar however. The only draw back I see is shipping the bars can get expensive, so you will want to stock up when you buy or order with someone to combine the shipping. I was told, however, that shipping was fast.
