Indie Spotlight: Love and Lotus

Hello my beautiful readers I'm back today to review a lovely company that just launch their website! I met the owner in a soap making Facebook group and someone invited her to come to a group that I mentioned before here called "What's Indie Bath". After she came aboard she did a mini giveaway and handed out some tester boxes to a few amount of people to feedback purposes. Of course, me being a handmade junkie I couldn't resist getting one.

Her package came with 7 lovely items:
- 2 Whipped Body Butters in Acai Mangosteen and Coconut Lemongrass
- 1 Whipped Sugar Scrub in Blood Orange Peppermint
- 1 Facial Wash in Sea Goddess
- 1 Lip Scrub in Coconut
- 1 Lip Balm in Coconut
- 1 Flip Flop Balm in Lavender Honey

So let's start out with the two whipped body butters. Both smell divine especially acai mangosteen oh my goodness words cannot describe my obsession with this scent. It is AH-MAZ-ING. The coconut lemongrass smells heavy coconut (which I love) with a lemongrass undertone (I am not a fan of lemongrass but it's too bad with the coconut.) Both scents are the same body butter formula so there is no difference between them except for the scent.

The whipped body butter has the consistency of thick and creamy lotion. It feels refreshing to put on after a nice shower or during the day, it soaks into your skin super quickly. To be honest it is my second quickest absorbing lotion I have. The scent last for hours and it is such a good scent I HIGHLY recommend everyone to pick up this whipped body butter in Acai Mangosteen I PROMISE you, you will not be disappointed.

Would I buy it full size? HELL YES. I love the formula AND the scent it is a total WIN WIN. I plan on obtaining over the next couple weeks multiple scents in this body butter. A must try for anyone looking to buy from this company.

As I mentioned in this post I have formed a mini addiction to sugar scrubs so to try a new sugar scrub you can imagine my gleefulness.

One thing I like to mention is in a million years I would of NEVER thought Blood Orange and Peppermint would be a match made in heaven. Like seriously this scrub smells really good. A unique scent combo I haven't seen anywhere else. I can't describe the uniqueness of it you will just have to trust me on this one.

The best thing about this scrub is that you can literally grab a nice piece of the sugar scrub it has a nice denseness to it and when you use it its very creamy and in my opinion it has a mild exfoliation. After about a couple seconds you get a very nice lotion like lather and it feels very softening on the skin. Once you rinse off you are greeted with very soft skin. There is no oily residue on this one for those who are not too keen on it. Which I don't mind I love my scrubs either way. It just means I can slap some of that whipped body butter on some more.

Would I buy it full size? Uh yes! Like that even needs to be said. I love all types of sugar scrubs everyone I try is unique from the others. Another one on my must try list.

I have been out of the loop for a long time when it comes to skin care routes because of this I am always on the look for the best facial wash to start using daily. I am very happy a face wash was included in my package. The foaming facial wash in Sea Goddess is one of the most interesting indie items I have tried. It is very crumby and clay like in texture. I usually get slightly bigger than a pea size squish it in my hand add a bit of water to form a paste and rub all over my face. It truly does foam up into a medium thick lather.

Not only is the texture interesting but so are the ingredients! It is made with REAL sea kelp and other skin loving ingredients how awesome is that? I took this from their facebook "Sea kelp has a high content of silicon, vitamins & minerals. Helps strengthen skin and tissue." This is what I love about handmade makers they put lots of skin loving ingredients into their products and it shows in the results.

My face feels so smooth it contains little bits of apricot seeds for a gentle exfoliation which is safe for everyday use. My skin usually feels "tight" with store bought cleaners and this one DIDN'T. I only used this twice but I can see a small difference in the overall look in my face. Would I buy full size? Yes, in fact I may use it as my everyday cleanser and start my skin care routie with that! I definetly recommend trying it.

As I mentioned in a previous post I do not have much expreiance with Lotion bars, I usually am a body butter type person but I am always open to the idea of finding one that suits me. The scent I got was Lavender and Honey and boy did it smell good. Like serious get it in all the products. The lotion bar was easier to apply than most I have tired, however it was not as smooth as I would of liked it to be. It did help when I used it as a shower lotion bar but again not by much.

The lotion bar absorbed super quickly a huge plus but ultimately I am more of a body butter type person. If you like lotion bars then you will LOVE this seriously it works really well. My elbows started getting dry and I rubbed this bad boy on and it is soft again.

Would I buy full size? Not sure most likely no however this does not mean I do not recommend it. In fact I know lots of people fan of lotion bars who would love this. THe ingridents are good and the forumla is actually good too. Personal Perferance I perfer lotions.

Last but certainly not the least is the coconut lip sugar scrub and lip balm set. Oh boy! Where do i start with this little piece of heaven. You would think with my obession with sugar scrubs I have a collection of lip scrubs but alas I do not. Right off the bat both smell really good I got coconut for both items.

The scrub is nice and light it took off my dry skin from my lips and made it super soft. I am not gonna lie after I toweled off I licked the remaining residue of the scrub. It is very tasty. Another lady is our group who also is testing it out had her little girl eat the whole thing.

The lip balm is a semi thick slick creamy. Smells great and last a long time. I been testing out a lot of lip blams lately but this one is the one I reach for the most. From the scent to the feel it is just perfect.

Would I buy it? Yes, oh yes. Best part is this is already full size so when it's gone I'll definately pick it up again. There are so many flavors to choose from, there is something for everyone.

And there you have it that is my review on a new company on the rise named Love and Lotus. Overall I am very pleased with my package, so much that I already ordered a couple items full size! Words cannot express how happy I am with this company. I hope you guys check her our here.
