Melao Face Scrub (60 gs)

This is a lovely nourishing facial scrub made of natural oils, flowers and plant extracts mixed with shell power, so it scrubs and cleans in depth but without being harsh but or abrasive. I really like how creamy it feels, how easily spreads and how my skin looks super clean afterwards. This exfoliant product contains salicylic acid, which is great if you have combination to oily skin, and you have or are prone to acne, pimples/blackheads.  This scrub really smells of roses, and I find the scent a bit overwhelming; nothing to put me off, but a bit too strong for me, and a bit too old fashion, too.  

 

The jar is really small, but a tiny bit of product does the job, so it really lasts.

 

This brand claims to be 100% vegan and cruelty free. The list of ingredients supports the first statement, but the second is dubious. There is a tiny-winy rabbit printed on the jar with the text "non texted on animals" but it isn't the leaping rabbit or PETA's, so ain't sure if this is really cruelty free or not.

Swosh Pumice Smoothing Stone (5.5x 14.5x 1.5cm)

This pumice is as basic as it gets but it does the job perfectly. It's a bit crumbly or sandy, more so than other pumices I've used in the past. It's also less compact so there is some sandy stuff that comes off when scrubbing my feet.  Also, it breaks into pieces if it happens to fall on to the floor. For the rest, it does the job and is very cheap. At the same time, you get what you paid for.

St. Ives Facial Scrub Coconut & Coffee, 150ml

This is a good facial scrub that leaves my skin squeaky clean. I love the caramel latte sort of scent, which adds enjoyment to my daily routine. The tube is generous in size and a small dub goes a long way. My only concern is that this scrub is actually quite coarse, despite the coconut added to it, and very hard on my delicate skin. I think it needs more oil in it to make it softer for my skin. For the rest, good value for money.
