Fruits & Passion Cucina Hand Soap Review

Fruits & Passion Cucina Hand Soap

           

Hello darlings, I’m back from the vortex! I’ve been so busy lately and I have to give time to my other writing activities because I had to make a concept analysis, lol. I will be posting some life updates soon. How’s the election for y’all? How’s life in general? Guess what, I’ve got some amazing hand soaps to review in this post. In fact, I have been using these soaps for more than a year now and I love them so much.

The cucina line of hand soaps from Fruits & Passion are some of the best hand soaps I’ve ever tried. I discovered the brand when I was looking for affordable hand soaps with really good quality. The whole search process was quite a challenge because there aren’t really many high-quality soaps out there that are easy on the price points. Also, I wanted a soap that is not only gentle on the hands, but also has a fabulous scent. These criteria deemed to be difficult to fulfill and my whole search took forever, that is, until, I found these gem at amazon.

The Fruits & Passion cucina hand soaps come in a convenient mini-jug type of packaging and they are definitely affordable. They come in different scents like: Sea Salt and Amalfi Lemon, Lime Zest & Cypress, Coriander and Olive Tree, etc. Each mini jug can last about two months of usage, that is, even with constant handwashing.

Sanguinelli Orange and Fennel – This smells like a blend of fresh oranges and olive oil. It’s an interesting mix and totally unique to me, and probably for you too. I suggest you try this and see for yourself. Personally, this is really really good.

Sea Salt and Amalfi Lemon – This is my most favorite scent of the entire cucina line of hand soaps. I definitely think that this smells like Tom Ford’s ultra-fabulous Mandarino di Amalfi Eau de Parfum, which is a shock for me because I truly love that particular TF scent. I’m so glad to have found this hand soap and I use this everyday. I never got bored of the scent. Ever.

Coriander and Olive Tree – This is my second favorite scent from the line and it really looks just like an olive-oil, texture-wise. The scent of this is also very good. With a mix of coriander, this will transport you to an idyllic Mediterranean island – sipping mimosa while enjoying that crema catalana, lol.

The other scent I love from line is Lime Zest and Cypress, which is quite similar to the Coriander and Olive Tree. I also love the hand creams and hand butters from this brand, and I highly recommend them because they’re so creamy and so moisturizing. Overall, I really like the organic and clean quality of these products. I also love their price tags and the scents are so luxe that you’d wonder if they are being sold at high-end stores. How fabulous!

The Nécessaire Body Care Review

The Nécessaire body wash

 

Hello, darlings! Happy Fall to you all. Starting to feel the chill? I’m starting to fall for Fall, even though I know I’m still wishing for Summer days. What are you hoping for this coming season? Any Fall pictorial plans?

Le’ts start this season with some exciting body care reviews. Let’s talk about this very interesting brand that I’ve been eyeing for some time. This is one of those brands that belong to the category of “Instagram Made Me Try It”, LOL :-). Haven’t y’all did? I know…right.. So, let’s talk about The Nécessaire Body Care products. Familiar much?

I have been longing to try this brand because I see their stuff everywhere on Insta. Everyone seems to be loving and raving this brand’s products and that sparked my curiosity. For starters, I really like their packaging. For me, their large tubes look sleek and have a nice and cool minimalistic flair. Theirs are the kinds of packaging I would do if I have to design my own skincare brand – simple and sleek.

 

So, here are my thoughts about The Nécessaire’s body wash, body exfoliator, and body lotion.

 

The Nécessaire body lotion

 

The Body Wash – For most of Nécessaire’s products, they come in three different types: fragrance-free, sandalwood, and eucalyptus. I picked the sandalwood scent out of curiosity and I really really love it. The scent is earthy and fresh, and the body wash itself foams very well. This is a daily multi-vitamin body wash with essential oils that are perfect for any skin type. I really like that this is made of clean ingredients and this feels really mild on the skin. For me, this doesn’t feel very stripping. In fact, this feels quite moisturizing. Using this feels so good as if giving me that spa-like experience. I find that this is quite softening and this gives me that relaxing feel. I also like the design of the tube, which makes it easy to dispense the product.

 

The Body Exfoliator – This exfoliator is also available in fragrance-free, sandalwood, and eucalyptus scents. I personally picked the eucalyptus because I wanted an exfoliator that is invigorating. I can definitely say that this exfoliator fits the bill perfectly because this will definitely awaken your senses. The eucalyptus scent is not very strong, but it’s enough to transport you into another dimension of self-care, lol. It has bamboo charcoal, AHA/Glycolic Acid, and BHA/Salicylic Acid which are perfect for a thorough exfoliation. I do feel that this scrubs gently compared to some other exfoliators I’ve tried in the past, so, this can work really well for those with dry or sensitive skin. Also, this is made of clean ingredients.

The Body Lotion – This lotion feels so creamy and so smooth. This has the right consistency and weight, which is not too thick and not too light. However, this only comes in fragrance-free type which is unfortunate, because I would love to have this in several different scents. I really like the way this feels on my skin because this doesn’t settle much on the surface. Even though this is fragrance-free, this doesn’t leave any weird lingering scent because this really is devoid of any fragrance at all. Also, this feels so calming and is made of clean ingredients, which is perfect for any skin type especially for those with very sensitive skin. Further, I like that this has multivitamins and is ph balanced.

Bottom line, I’m really impressed with this brand. Their body care products are worthy of Instagram raves. For me, their products are very interesting and I hope they’d expand to more product types and more scents in the future. Also, their products are perfect for that on the spot self-care.

 

Are you a Nécessaire fan? Which products do you like the most from this brand?
