Verbena and Clementine Luxury Bath soaps from Mistral

 

 

Clementine Atelier Luxury Bubble Bath

Pictured above is two sample soaps from Mistral Soap. I believe the yellow colored tub is Verbena and the orange colored soap it Clementine Bubble Bath.  I love them both, but Clementine is my favorite! I love the sweet, clean, refreshing scent. When lathering up with the Clementine soap, you get a feeling of squeaky cleanliness and energizing as you inhale! I really enjoy this stuff. Both the Verbena and Clementine feel very clean. 

 This luxury foaming bubble bath is soft and silky when rubbed onto skin. Enriched with Organic Apricot Oil and Organic Shea Butter, it leaves your skin so silky soft. 

 When these samples arrived, they had leaked--probably due to the heat that day--but when I pulled them out of the pack, the soap was all over my hands. The first thing I noticed was as it began to dry up, it didn't leave that sticky feeling that all soaps do. I didn't even feel that I needed to rinse it off. My fingers felt silky and smooth and I did end up washing them, but the fact that it didn't leave any kind of residue or feeling on my hands was a really great first impression on me. 

  After smelling Clementine, I was excited to take a bath with it. It does meet my expectations. It's a very nice bubble bath. The name "luxury bubble bath" was very right. It does feel luxurious and it's different than the regular old bubble baths. When I bathed with it, it bubbled up a little and felt so super clean. I loved taking in that scent. I don't think I've ever actually loved a soap scent. I enjoy some of them, but this stuff really catches my nose, in a good way. I caught myself sniffing my arms all throughought the night. 

 The Clementine and Verbena bath soap is great because it isn't strong, over powering to the nose. It's a light, but stout scent. Nothing that will put us migrain sufferers out. It's subtle enough to where it wouldn't bother me, even with a migraine. I used it before bed and while I could no longer smell it on my skin the next morning, my skin did feel softer.

Verbena

Verbena foaming bubble bath is fantastic as well, but I think I liked the Clementine scent a tad better. These do smell beautiful when both mixed into the bath though! I really like the Verbena soap as well as the lemon-y, fresh smell. This has to be my favorite lemon scented product. I like the scent of lemon, but too often I find it overpowering or I find that it leaves me smelling like a floor cleaner. However, Verbena soap is a subtle, but very clean, natural lemon-y scented soap.

"Each morning the bright-green verbena leaves exhale their wonderful lemon scent into the dew-filled air..."

  • Enriched with natural healing chamomile, aloe vera and shea butter

  Each of the soaps have different things that I love about them. I really like how nice and clean they both are. They do a fantastic job of cleaning and ridding grease and dirt. I used Verbena on my face -- only a small amount-- and found that it took my makeup off like a charm! After trying a sample, I would definitely buy the full size-- and plan to do just that, Clementine first! They come in lovely, 10.14fl oz gift-worthy jars (the foaming bubble bath comes in an 8.4 fl oz jar)
