First Impression: SugarBaby Vita+Skin

One night, as usual, I was browsing online for new beauty items to lust after and came across this brand of which I had never heard of being exclusively sold in Superdrug. I’m a massive lover of body scrubs, especially when coffee is involved, plus the packaging was super cute and really caught my eye. So, I did a little research and loved what I read decided to pick up some of their products the next day at my local Superdrug.

Some quick info about SugarBaby

• Paraben free and no artificial fragrances
• Petrochemical free
• No animal testing and vegan friendly
• Made in Australia

So, this all sounded so promising to me and I just had to give it a try, off I went for a relaxing bath with my new products.

SLIM-ULATE Coconut & Coffee Stimulating Body Scrub:

Now, this scrub smells AMAZING. The coffee scent is so smooth and intense with the sweet offset from the coconut. I cannot get enough! But this isn’t all about the scent, it’s about the scrub! Now, I’ll admit, it is a bit messy so it may be a good idea to decant this product into a pot before taking it to the bath or shower. The scrub itself, however, is beautiful. I only poured a small amount into the palm of my hand and once the dry coffee grounds, sugar, coconut etc was rubbed onto my damp skin, it just felt luxurious and like it was really doing my skin some good. My skin was completely softened, brightened and felt tighter and plumped. It’s almost like this scrub breathed life into it! I didn’t have any reactions to it which is a plus as some scrubs leave my skin red and blotchy. This is definitely a new favourite of mine, despite how messy it can be. I would recommend using in the shower instead of the bath like I did, unless you don’t mind rinsing coffee and sugar down your drain afterwards. I wasn’t too bothered by this as I’m used to it from glittery bath bombs. So, a massive YES PLEASE from me.

COCO-LUXE Cleansing Coconut Beauty Bar:

This lightly fragranced beauty bar is quite literally a little beauty. I don’t often use bars of soap as I remember ones I have used long ago were drying but this was completely different. The SugarBaby Vita+Skin Beauty Bar can be used on the body and the face too and I’ll be honest, I’m wasn’t looking forward to the latter. Maybe because it’s a bar of soap or because it’s also used on the body and I just feel like that you need two separate cleansers but I’m pleased to say I was happily surprised! It lathered up as it does on your body and when rinsed off, my face felt clean, smooth and not dried out at all! So, I’d be quite happy to use this on my face often. I have used this in the shower and the bath and once again, felt so luxurious on my skin, cleansing and moisturising. I love it! Definitely something I’ll be using often in the bathtub. I’d say this bar would last you a long time considering it’s quite a big size compared to some bars of soap and if you’re not into strong smells, this is for you as it’s only lightly smells of coconut milk. Once again, I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the market for an all round cleansing face and body soap.

I’d say my first impression of SugarBaby Vita+Skin went well. Better than well actually, I’m so happy with my purchases! Both of these products are said to be great on sensitive skin and for people suffering from eczema and psoriasis, I don’t have either of these skin conditions so I can’t comment on that but I do have sensitive skin and can say there was no reaction from me. All in all, I can’t wait to check out more of their products!
If any of you happen to pick up something by SugarBaby in Superdrug (UK exclusive, I believe, unless you live in Australia) then please let me know your thoughts!
