Danessa Myricks has released her latest palette. Which I'm excited about..except for the neutrals. I'm so dissapointed about the neutral shades. I feel like you would only be interested in the LightWork palettes for the interesting sparkly, multi chrome, or flaky shades. The people buying the palette are more than likely makeup lovers that own multiples of all the neutral shades. I don't need another black or grey or brown in the collection. I wish she would just release the interesting shades as singles so I can mix and match that way and also save the world some plastic packaging.
But anywho...Today we have some soap to review. I really enjoy the Fresh soaps...and this is no exception.
Fresh claims:
A long-lasting, vegetable-based body soap infused with moisturizing shea butter and an addictive scent
Scent: a rich white floral scent
These nourishing soaps are milled multiple times, making them super dense, luxurious, and long-lasting. Infused with iconic fresh scents, the soaps are hand-wrapped, tied with a delicate wire, and topped with a semi-precious stone—making them the perfect gift (for others or yourself!).
Made in France
I've never smelled Freesia. But since it is common in Bath and Body and perfumery...I need to see if I can grow some or get my hands on some. I think way back in the day it was one of the first Bath and Body spray scents I bought.
I'm pretty sure the packaging looked like this. I remember carrying it with me and spraying it in class. Takes me right back to 8th grade.
I don't think this smells similar. And at first I didn't really like it. But after the third or fourth time I used it I really started enjoying it. I didn't want to put it down and rarely strayed although I definitely have a lot of options.
I don't really know how to describe it except a really fresh and modern floral scent. It' not heavy or overpowering. Perfect as a shower scent. But not very memorable. More than likely I won't even remember the scent by next week now that it's gone. But that doesn't mean I don't really like it.
As for the soap part- lathers nice. Rich thick bubbly lather. Rinses clean. Doesn't dry my skin.
I love the shape of the soap. It's the same oval shape as the Chanel soap so that makes it feel luxurious to me. It is quite a large bar..it will last you quite a while. It does feel triple milled but I like to lather and lather and lather and so I use a lot!
Packaging is nice. It comes with a little gem which is a nice touch. I am saving mine for something. Not sure what. And it also comes wrapped in pretty paper. Which is very easy to recycle.

Overall, not the most memorable....but I enjoyed every minute. I think it would be a more reasonably priced alternative to Jo Malone floral scents like English Pear and Freesia or the Peony and Blushed Suede. I haven't used both of those soaps but having smelled this and those scents...I think these would be nice if you want to save money. They aren't cheap by any means..quite expensive but I guess at least you get a nice big bar.
I have one more in the stash and I do plan on trying the others at some point....
