A Delicious Skin Care Encounter Of the Fruity Kind

On my way home from the office this week, I stopped by TJ Maxx to return a few items and decided to browse a bit before leaving. Boy am I glad I did! Completely by accident I stumbled upon these body products by Asquith & Somerset. The first thing that drew me to them was the packaging, then the scents and finally the prices. I figured why not give them a try, so I threw a couple of soaps and scrubs into my cart. On the drive home, something told me I had lucked up on a really good deal; once I got home and did a little research, I realised my instinct was spot on. Not realising at the time what a great deal I had, I only purchase four items; two body scrubs and two soaps.

I am really, really big on aromatherapy and equally fond of lush body products, particularly fruit scented fragrances. These Asquith & Somerset products are both at once. The fragrances of both the scrubs and the soaps are absolutely fabulous and more intense than any products I’ve ever experienced; so much so that they literally smell good enough to eat. I kid you not! I strongly advise keeping them (especially the sugar scrubs) away from small children and anyone who cannot read English, as their aromas are nothing short of a mouthwatering and the scrubs could easily be mistaken for an exotic fruit dessert.

Upon visiting their official website, I discovered that this London-based company has an extensive product line, including body creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, facial, pedicure and a host of other products. They even make room sprays. Oddly though, I didn’t find any prices on their website nor any way to place an order. So I Googled them, of course, and found several places, including this site, that carry their line. After browsing a few sites, I quickly understood that I had struck gold. The two 17 oz. jars of exfoliating sugar scrubs I purchased (Coconut Lime and Cilantro Pineapple) at TJM for $6 each, actually retail for between $14 and $16, and the two 12 oz bars of moisturising soap (Mango & Lime and Coconut & Banana) that I purchased for $4 each are actually $10 to $13 each. That said, I will be back there tomorrow to look for their lotions, body creams and anything else I can find.

These products have certainly taken a place on my favourite things list. Mos def!
