SPA CEYLON SRI LANKA 11.11 ONLINE WELLNESS MARKET HAUL

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Not my best capture 👀
Spa Ceylon had their Wellness Marketplace on the 02nd of November 2019, but I missed it, and luckily they had the online version of it on the 11th of November that extended till the 13th, and I was not planning on missing this either.

WHY DIDN'T I WANT TO MISS IT? Because I get to pick & choose 09 products worth 7000 LKR for only 2650 LKR with free island wide delivery.

I KNOW RIGHT!

So, here's what I chose for myself on the 11th, and I'm in love with every single selection, especially the Crème perfume, which I went on and on about on IG stories past weekend.




I’ve included purchase links for every product, for those within and out of Sri Lanka.

The International store offers free worldwide express shipping over 100$, and check their International store locator to find out if they have a store in your country as well.

Also make sure you follow SPA CEYLON on Instagram and Facebook for upcoming offers and sales.

I hope Spa Ceylon does more like this every now and then, and maybe give a few weeks’ notice so that everyone can be a bit prepared.

Also, would LOVE to see capsule sizes of Hair and Lip care range included in the upcoming sales as well.

On the other hand, I'm thinking if I should do a blog post on products for less than 10$ or 5$ from the brand, what do you think? Let me know.

SPA CEYLON AYURVEDA Ceylon Tea & Spice Body Scrub : First Impression Review

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Image Courtesy: https://lk.spaceylon.com
Who would've thought that Tea and Spices would go so well together on a skincare product?
I've always skipped the Ceylon Tea range for no apparent reason, but when it arrived with my purchase, I had to overcome my thoughts of a scrub smelling like Chai and try it.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A creamy scrub infused with a naturally protective, soothing & calming blend of Green, White & Black Teas - rich in natural anti-oxidants & nutrients. Promotes overall skin cell renewal & helps brighten skin tone. Deep-acting Sandalwood, Coriander & Walnut combine to help purify skin, clearing clogged pores, removing toxins & dead cells. Virgin Coconut, Olive & Honey soften & smoothen skin, improving overall health, while warming Cinnamon helps energise the senses.

* Paraben Free
* Paraffin Free
* Alcohol Free
*100% Vegetarian
* Not tested on animals
* Sustainable Harvesting
* Supports community fair trade

HOW TO USE
Before bath, apply lighty all over body. Leave for 5 mins.
Wet skin with milk, massage in circular motions for 5 mins & wash off. For best results follow with SPA CEYLON Ceylon Tea Bath & Shower Gel & Ceylon Tea Body Butter.

INGREDIENTS
Aqua/Water, Glycine Soja (Soya Bean) Oil, Glyceryl Monostearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerine, Jugfans Regia (Walnut Shell) Powder, Parfum/Fragrance, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Peg 4 alivate, Peg 40 Hydrogenated castor oil, Mel (Pure Bees Honey), Sandalwood Bark Powder, Olive fruit Oil, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E from Soya), Ceylon Black Tea leaf extract, Ceylon White Tea leaf extract, Ceylon Green Tea extract, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Cardamom Seed Oil, Coriander Seed Oil, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyacetophenen, Potassium Sarbate

SCENT
The package says SPICE, but unless you read the ingredients, you have no idea what spice scent to expect.
I was expecting this to smell strong, tea like with a hint of nutmeg maybe, everything that would make me say NOPE.
Surprisingly, it's a very calming fragrance, with Cinnamon being the top and overall note and the smell of young tea leaves wafting in between.

TEXTURE
It’s a thick and gentle scrub, the scrubbing beads are not too gentle, but they are not too harsh on skin as well.
A VERY Milky Tea coloured Scrub
APPLICATION
You are supposed to apply it before bath on dry skin, leave for 05 mins, wet skin with milk or water, massage in circular motions and wash off.
Even a very very light layer on skin will turn creamy upon contact with a liquid. So use the product wisely.
I tried using it on wet skin, like a regular body scrub, and it worked fine, but I love the dry skin method more, cause there is no need to use a soap or shower gel whatsoever.

Lightly spread on dry skin
Wet skin with water
















AFTER: It may not look like a lot, but felt so good
AFTER APPLICATION
Skin felt supple, clear, a tad bit brighter, hydrated and like I put on a layer of bath oil.

If you haven't read my post about the bath oil yet, check it out here:
https://aaqithinks.blogspot.com/2019/11/spa-ceylon-ayurveda-sensual-sandalwood.html

I didn't have to use a bath oil, lotion or any other moisturizing product afterwards, cause the scrub did it for me.

PRICE
2250 LKR (13$) for 225g

FINAL VERDICT
The body scrub is 100% Vegetarian, free from chemicals, saves soap, extra hydrates my dry skin, smells so good that I feel sleepy by the time I'm out of the shower, and 5g covers the entire body, what more can we expect from a body scrub?.
OVERALL RATING: 5/5
A detailed review will be up on the blog, so watch out for my IG stories for updates.

SPA CEYLON AYURVEDA Jasmine Frangipani Eau De Ceylon : First Impression Review

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


I tested this product without even reading what it was, and somehow I was 95% convinced that this was an Essential Oil blend for aromatherapy and my mind was already making plans that involved an oil burner and reed diffusers.
But then, turns out it's a Cologne, that you are supposed to splash on your body.
I mean, all Colognes I've known my entire life were watery, evaporates fast and the scent of rubbing alcohol over-powered the actual scent of the product.

What makes the SPA CEYLON EAU DE COLOGNE different from the regular ones we are used to?

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Set out on a blissful journey through tropical Ceylon with this light, breezy cologne.The aromatic island water is infused with soothing Jasmine & delighting Frangipani combined with the freshness of Ceylonese floral blossoms, fruits & herbs.

* 100% Vegetarian
* Against Animal Cruelty
* Promotes Sustainable Harvesting
* Supports Community Fair Trade



HOW TO USE

Splash-on all over body for tropical freshness.

INGREDIENTS

Alcohol (From Natural Cane Sugar), Aqua/ Water, Parfum/Fragrance, Peg 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Jasminum Officianale (Jasmine) flower extract, Plumeria Alba (Frangipani) flower extract, Cl 61570


SCENT
Floral, very tropical, or rather very Sri Lankan, it's a scent unique to our country, and I'm immediately reminded of Temples and Tissamaharama.
It's very strong, but calming.

TEXTURE
This category is unique to Spa Ceylon, with every product, I'm awed by how different the product feels, and how they've managed to give products the texture that we've only imagined.
This product has the consistency of a roll on balm/oil, it's non watery, doesn't evaporate fast, and even though it's an oil, it's not greasy or sticky on skin.

APPLICATION
I applied a few drops on my pulse points, it didn't feel different or uncomfortable on my skin, and even though I did try a few drops, the scent was strong but not overpowering.

P.S. When I test products to review, I don't use any other product along with it, so that I can give my unbiased and honest opinion.

AFTER APPLICATION
The scent lasted around 06 hours on a humid day, considering I used it only on my pulse points, 06 hours is a great deal.

PRICE
3600 LKR (around 21$) for 100ml

FINAL VERDICT
It IS on the pricier side for an Eau De Cologne, but it's stronger, lasts long, not PACKED with alcohol, and like with all their products, a little goes a long way.
Even though it's technically a cologne, you can use it in place of a perfume, or pair it with their amazing (NIGHT JASMINE!!!) perfumes on very special occasions.

OVERALL RATING:
4.9/5
