Bath Cream War


Remember the Scrub War I did a while ago? Now it's time for the lovely Bath Creams to be put on the spot light. I love bath creams, they're just so fun to use. My first bath cream was from Outtabody, an Etsy store that sells great selection of soaps and they came out with a new product called 'Whipped Soap Mouse' which is basically a bath cream.


I sampled 6 packs of soap mouse and the owner, Khandi, was nice enough to send me a 1 freebies. A week after, she mailed me again, telling me she made a new scent and wanted me to try...so she sent me another one !!! Now I have 8 of samples in cute containers :)

I believe the scents are: Blue Sugar, Tahitian Vanilla, Orange Chiffon Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Grape Cabernet, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cocoa Creme Brulee and Buttercream Frosting

Recently, I also received bath cream from Rainforest Soap Shack, great scents, great products, great selections. I really like this company, if only the shipping to U.S wasn't as expensive I would order from them monthly lol (then I guess it's a good thing, eh?)

Onto the comparison, the products I used here are Outtabody Mint Chocolate Chip and Rainforest Soap Shack Desperate Housewives.

I did test out the products on seperate day, as I wanted to know how long the scent would clung to my skin. I used the same arm just for the clear comparison, and although it seems like I used the Outtabody cream less, I did add a little bit more upon lathering in order to make a fair comparison.







(click to enlarged)

Texture: Outtabody was firm, soft but a bit waxy, it can also used as a shaving cream so it was understandable for it to be really thick. Meanwhile, RFSS seems to be smoother and creamier.

Lathering: Outtabody lathers alright to a slightly clear foam, whereas RFSS does lather more with white milky foam.

Scent: During scrubbing, I could smell Outtabody scent but not strong. RFSS on the other hand gave a crazy amount of scent, even when I just started foaming it with water, it was incredible.

Afterbath: After I rinsed off and toweled, Outtabody left my skin soft but the scent was just lightly noticable. It could be a good thing so the scent wouldn't crash if you decide to put on moisturizer or perfume. RFSS left my skin even softer and the scent clung to my skin even after I walked out the bathroom. 2 hours after I could still smell it on my hand...

Personally, I'd prefer RFSS bath cream as it lathers ridiculously (i'm still 5 at heart LOL) and the scent just lingers so long, I almost couldn't believe it. Outtabody is nice too, especially the Mint Chocolate Chip I used, it's such a yummy minty chocolate-y scent with no fake note whatsoever, and if you look closely in the picture, there are actually chocolate chips in it. I went lol when I found it...

Bath creams does make my bath time a lovely experience, I love them as much as I adore scrubs, and I have so many scents to try..from Outtabody I've tried Tahitian Vanilla, Orange Chiffon Cake, Mint Chocolate Chip and Cocoa Creme Brulee...so far my fav is Mint Chocolate Chip : )

Oh, I did my nails yesterday after almost a month of abandoning my nails with chipped dark purple colors, I looked like I was belong in Emo group bahahaha

OPI Arrivaderci, classic.
(now they look more lady-like, right?)

Outtabody: Haul & Review

Yes I know, it's been gazillion years since I did reviews, and hauls.....oh well it's been a while since I did anything for my readers! hahahah please forgive me, I've been busy doing nothing --> cliché but true.

I've been living in Makeupalley.com, especially on the Bath & Body Boards, it's very addictive and fun, we talk about e-tailers, bath products, fragrances, and so much more. If you haven't noticed I am now a proud bath & body products addict and I've been posting about it alot, honestly I did not expect any hoo-hah and hollas from anyone here in blogspot since my friends here are mostly makeup addicts : ) but on the makeupalley boards, my goodness, the ladies over there tries ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, and they answer to my EVERY SINGLE QUESTION I asked, both rationally and just simply dumb ones.

So yeah, hope you all forgive me hehehe

Anyway, as I mentioned couple posts ago, I purchased the yummy looking bath cream from Outtabody (it's called Whipped Soap Mousse) and they arrived last week.


Look at those tiny containers! Aren't they adorable??
She gave me a free white bath puff : )

The scents I tried:
* Blue Sugar
* Tahitian Vanilla
* Orange Chiffon Cake
* Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
* Grape Cabernet
* Mint Chocolate Chip

If you count the containers you'd notice there were 6, that's because I got a free one and the scent is Creme Cocoa Brulee.

Here are the scents description based on my personal Sniff skillz LOL:

*Blue Sugar: This one is very sexy, I bought it for my bf but I'm sure I'm gonna be the one that finish it LOL

*Tahitian Vanilla: pineapple, coconut & vanilla...very summery!

*Orange Chiffon Cake: love this one, true orange cake scent

*Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: probably my least fav coz it smells too 'dark', but some people might love this

*Grape Cabernet: if you love grape Popsicle you'd adore this one, I know I do hehe

*Mint Chocolate Chip: smells like my all time fav Baskin Robin's Mint Chocochip Ice cream...so yum!

*Creme Cocoa Brulee: chocolate & almond are stronger than the vanilla...I like it.


Now, onto the review.

I've only used 1 so far and it's the Orange Chiffon Cake.


Scent: It smells just like an orange cake with vanilla frosting, I can't stress how yummy this one smells like.

Consistency: The mousse feels like cream, I scoop it out with my fingers and use my bath puff and water to lather. It's thick and not runny at all.

Bubble-bility: It lathers so well, just like your usual shower gel, but of course, minus the SLS!

Love: The scents are just out of this world, very true to its name and it makes me crave for sweets, cake & ice cream.

Loath: Somewhat the scents don't stay for long after shower, so it's not very long-lasting.

Overall: A-


P.S: A week after my purchased, the owner of Outtabody sent me another soap mousse with her new scents she was formulating, it's Buttercream Frosting and it smells SOOOO GOOD! Isn't she a doll? *hugs Khandi, if you read this* :D

I now own 7 cute multicolors Tupperware lol
