Hi guys! I know it's been a while since I did any reviews. Being a Psychology Major, I hardly have time to blog. This was really a busy busy week for me. With all the papers I had to write and coupled by the fact that I also needed to study for my Midterms I am just happy that the days have passed by in a blur. Anyway I hope you'll enjoy reading about Snoe Products. Before my review here's a little background information about this local beauty brand...

Product Reviews:
Let's start with the sponge that came with the bundle. I was really excited to use this since it looked so soft...but when I tried it out I became very disappointed. IT WAS SO ROUGH!!! Like sandpaper on the skin. :( Although I am glad to say that this is the only item that has a negative feedback so read on!

Featured Ingredient
Aloe Leaf Juice
The ancient Egyptians dubbed it the “plant of immortality.” It contains a plethora of antioxidant components, including flavonoids, vitamin C, beta carotene and vitamin E that can help improve the skin’s natural firmness and keep the skin hydrated.
Verdict:
The first thing I noticed when I used this was the scent. It smelled so darn good without being too overpowering. The texture of the bath syrup is not runny but not too concentrated as well. Another thing that I observed was that the granules were not rough at all! In fact it did a good job of exfoliating my skin. You can apply this using your hands or a bath sponge/cloth.

Verdict:
This lotion feels smooth and is easily absorbed by the skin. It isn't greasy and does not leave weird marks on the skin. It moisturizes without the sticky feeling. The best part about this lotion is that it has spf 20! I would still highly recommend applying sunscreen/sunblock before heading outside but at least if you put on some of this whipped body frosting you'll have protection from the harmful rays of the sun pronto.

What I like about this cologne is that it contains anti-oxidants. This also has moisturizers in it. The scent is light but delicious. I don't really know what passion fruits smell like but I loved the scent of this body spritz. Great for every day use!
Oh My Wash! Intimate Wash The Beauty Queen

Verdict:
I like how the product has such quirky variants of intimate wash. They have The Girl Next Door, The Supermodel, The Beauty Queen and The Movie Star. I chose this because this is their bestseller. The scent is not too strong and pleasant to the nose. It has a cooling sensation which is a bonus for me since that is what I look for whenever I purchase intimate washes. It cleanses and lathers very well and you only need a small amount every time you wash. The down side is that it has no whitening effect but that just my personal preference.

Verdict:
This feels like silk in a bottle! It's super soft and thick which is great for dry skin. What I don't find very appealing though is that it leaves pink streaks on the skin. This can be used as a substitute for lotion/moisturizer.

Verdict:
Truthfully I don't really use body scrubs so this was my first time to try it. This came with a spoon inside to scoop up the product easily. I have to warn you guys that this scrub is really rough. On the bright side it does an excellent job of sloughing off dead skin. My advise is to use this product no more than once a week to exfoliate the skin. Think of it as a special treat on your free day!
Overall I can say that Snoe has made it to my fast growing list of favorite local brands. Their products are very promising and considering that these are locally made, I consider buying from them a great help to our economy. The packaging is really creative and cute. In short, what's not to love? Stay tuned for my review on their Hair Heroes Line!
