I really like how kilner jars look in the bathroom, however, (and I know I bang
on about this) tubs simply aren't the most functional presentation method as far
as I'm concerned.
The scent is an unusual blend of citrus (it contains lemon and lemongrass essential oils) but also warming, almost medicinal oakiness which hints towards the Cabernet name.
The course granules of crushed Cabernet grape seeds are definitely noticable and it's one of the most effective scrubs I've ever used, although I'm pleased to say that I didn't find it harshly abrasive.
I'm so impressed to note that my skin wasn't just left smoothed, but wonderfully
soft also, most likely due to the inclusion of honey in the formula. It's a
slight bugbear that the product is described as having slimming effects as let's
be honest, how much difference is exfoliating twice a week really going to make
if you sit around eating burgers and chips all day? Even taken in context, when
used alongside the recommended complementary products, it's a bit of a stretch
to claim that this is going to have any more of a slimming effect than massaging
in any other scrub on the market.
My other complaint is that, like The Body Shop's Black Olive & Argan Oil Scrub, the granules don't dissolve and therefore, leave a mess in the shower. However, both of these are minor issues which certainly wouldn't put me off repurchasing. At $29.00 for 150g, it's pretty pricey but I do feel that it's worth every penny, particularly given that a little goes a long way.
Overall, I absolutely love this and can't rate it highly enough.
