Ancient Oils - An Etsy shop product review !

Hey laydeez! (or dudes, speak up cuz I really don't believe guys read this) About a month ago, I contacted Lilly from Ancient Oils on Etsy about reviewing her products. I found her shop through searching for mud masks. I loved the themes of spirituality, goddesses, and natural earthy oils that she uses in her products and packaging. I also love the affordability and that her ingredient list on each product isn't a million lines long of stuff I've never heard of! Soon after our initial mails, she sent me a nice little package of goodies that I ripped open immediately. It contained samples of 3 things, which I will list below individually, then review. Enjoy ! and don't forget to visit Ancient Oils shop!

               -------------------The Review-------------------

Mud Mask - I received enough Aphrodite for 3 uses. I used it once each week. I slathered it on, waited til it dried, and washed it off using a washcloth and warm water. Immediately, my skin looked fresh and just better in general! I feel like this stuff ACTUALLY WORKS in helping unclog pores and maintaining nice skin texture. I have very, very sensitive skin so I am typically wary about what I put on it. This stuff is amazing. My only issue, currently, is that the exact sample I got doesn't seem to be in the shop. There is a dry Rhassoul clay mixture for sale as 'Aphrodite', but it doesn't contain Dead Sea mud or rose water.. I let Lilly know so hopefully The sample I got will be available! I really hope you guys will try this mask. DID I MENTION THAT IT IS ONLY $6 ???? I MEAN DAMN.

Bast Nail Oil - I received a sample size of the nail oil and used it before bed for 1 week. It contains wheat germ oil, frankincense, myrhh, and lemon. The last 3 aren't typically used for moisturizing, but they sure do smell good. Since Colorado is extremely dry right now, it's a good time to test nail oils =) sadly, as wonderful as this smells, it didn't pass the test. I think if it contained 1 more moisturizing oil such as sweet almond, it'd be more effective. I will certainly continue using my sample until it's gone because it smells SO INTOXICATING. - $12.50


Divine Kiss Bath Salt - MMMmmmm... This salt smells DIVINE. It contains a small amount of patchouli.. like, the best amount of patchouli ever, in anything. I am not a BIG big fan of it, but I love it when used sparingly. Divine Kiss smells sweetly earthy.. containing one of my favorite scent oils of all time: GERANIUM. It came in a little reusable bag that i hung on the running water faucet. when the bath was done filling, everything has dissolved into the bath, leaving a nice light scent. It doesn't stick to your skin at all, but will leave the lightest-ever after smell of patchouli in your tub for approximately 1 day =) I would definitely use this again.  - $8.50


Thanks for reading.. I hope this review has enticed you to try the Mud Mask.. IT RULES!! Visit Ancient Oils!
