A Manor Hall Soap Company Review by my best little pal
June 29, 2008 by Jennifer
As you may know, we’re running our Summer Scrub Down Contest, so I’ve been currently doing some product reviews. When I got the package of soap from Manor Hall Soap Company, everything looked great; except for this:
Actually, it looked good (cute packaging) but neither my son or I liked how it smelled. AT ALL. However, roses are not my deal. I like to look at them, love their smell in real life, but add rose scent to a body care item, and it usually flips me out. I’ve never liked rose scented body anything. So how fair would it be for me to review this? Not much.
That said, I enlisted my best friend Sara to help me out. Because she was being so helpful, I also handed over some other products for review. She’s a good reviewer choice; she’s even pickier than me about soap because she has dry skin, and she hates most soaps because they make her dry skin worse. (believe me, I’ve spent years listening to her complain about soaps).
Today Sara gave me a review on the above toner and a Natural Complexion Bar in Honey & Rose.
She’s not a chatterbox like me, so her reviews are nice and short. She’s been using the soap, followed by the toner for a week or so now.
Natural Complexion Bar in Honey & Rose - Sara liked both the color, scent, and feel of the soap. She notes that the soap is a little gritty, and a downside is that she wishes it were more gritty, because she likes scrubbers on her face. She thinks the soap lathered very well, and went on super smooth.
Lavender & Rose Facial Toner- She thinks I’m nutty, because she really likes how the toner smells. She notes that it smells like dandelion, not rose to her, which she enjoys, but that it might be too flowery for some people. (I still think it smelled like roses though).
Overall as a set, she thinks that this routine has left her skin feeling way less dry. Sara thinks the honey rose soap alone left her skin feeling more moisturized but with the toner it was even better. She says she still feels like she needs to moisturize her face still, but that overall the dry skin is not as big an issue.
I told her about tree points (yeah, she doesn’t read my blogs)
She said she’d give each product five out of five happy trees based on how nicely the products worked, and because her skin felt less dry. She said she highly recommends these products to others, but is concerned that others may not like the smell of the toner – that’s likely based on me not liking it. So scent is a toss up. I will say that scents are really personal, and it’s always a risk to try new body care items.
Thanks to Sara for the helpful review; even though she won’t see this
