AMW Reviews: Crabtree & Evelyn Goatmilk Triple Milled Soap

Crabtree & Evelyn has always been a brand that's quite luxurious for my taste. My first C&E product was an airplane gift given to me by my uncle. I think he's flying long haul business class thus he has this cute C&E pouch with all the cute mini toiletries! That's my one and only memory of C&E.

Well, I do have a couple of more, I visited a friend in Shanghai and she's a die hard Crabtree & Evelyn Fragrances fan, so I bought a couple, as gifts.

I never purchased from this brand, for myself.

Thanks to my Aunt for gifting me this, made me realize, it does feel great to receive Crabtree & Evelyn products for a change! *laughs*

Crabtree & Evelyn
Goatmilk

Triple Milled Soap with Milk Protein

Did you know that?
I never use anything with "Goatmilk" or "goat" whatever in my whole life, this will probably be the first, you know why? Craziness thought, in Chinese Calendar, I was born in the year of the Goat/Sheep...so, I have this...feeling...of...protecting my herd? *laughs out loud* If you think I'm weird, it's ok, I still love you! hahaha

Ok, back to reviews!

The Goatmilk Triple Milled Soap comes in a huge box with 3 bars of 100g soap. The packaging is simple yet eye catching.

Pros

moisturizing
smells great! Not overpowering, just right
as compared to other moisturizing soaps, it doesn't melt as fast
lathers quickly
doesn't irritate my skin
feels clean after using this, other soaps that are luxurious doesn't make me feel clean lol
no oily residue

Cons

pricey

Overall

Paying Php315.00 (approx $6.80) for a 100g soap is quite pricey! Seriously, not everybody could afford that! And I myself, even with the driest of all dry skin couldn't shell out this much for a bar of soap. But you know what I did? Purchased as a gift! I guess that's the power of packaging! I honestly couldn't shell out this much amount of money for my own skin but I don't mind spending this much to gift this to someone as it looks really luxurious and it's, in my opinion, packaged to be purchased as gift! Maybe its just me, but the marketing strategy is working!

Is it worth it? Well, it's not a bad product, I love the scent, I love how luxurious I feel and how non-drying it is as compared to other regular soaps. But with all the variations out there, we can easily purchase moisturizing soaps without spending as much.

Moral of the review?

If you have the money, go for it!

If you don't...there are a lot of "me-eh-eh-he" (goat sound inserted here) soap out there!

Tips

always use a soap dish and keep dry when not in use
eventhough you are using a moisturizing soap, do continue with body lotion or oil after shower
if you really want to try this, you can purchase with a friend to save up :)
Crabtree & Evelyn have sales or bundles every now and then, keep your eyes open and try on their products during sale period. They can go upto 30% off :)

Will I repurchase?
No for myself, yes as gift.

Where to purchase and how much?

Crabtree & Evelyn stores or booths for Php950.00 (approx $21.00) = 3 bars of 100g soap
