Erin the Soap Guy

Sometimes we come across products that are just so girly that we have no one to test them out. Since Christelle is more like a guy and even I have my limits, I knew it was time to bring someone else on board to test out the really feminine stuff.  Please meet Erin the Bath Guy.  Erin is a lawyer, who likes sports, women, beer, women, stupid movies and women.  To talk to him you would think he was some manly dude all into sports and leering at women but in the privacy of his bathroom he turns into a big gooey girl who's greatest joys in life are bubble baths and smelly soaps!
His first testing mission was the Olay Body Sheer Moisture Ribbons with Mandarine Oil Moisturizing Bar - 4 x 120g - $6.49 - some of the ingredients it includes to soften his lizard like skin include: glycerin, mineral oil, mandarin orange peel oil, grape seed extract and babusa vulgaris shoot extract.

Here's what Erin thinks of it in his own words:

"I have been using the bar for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it.  The scent is awesome and leaves a hint of this very clean smell on me all day.  The soap lathers up like crazy and rinses away without leaving any greasy feeling.  A perfect combination.  I would be happy to sample many more versions of this product for sure.  The most significant benefit is that since I have been using it, this hot EA in my office can’t keep her hands off me!!!"

From the last part you can tell that he obviously has serious delusions but I can attest to the fact that his general smell is much improved since he took up with this soap!

If you are more of a body wash girl (or guy), you can also find this scent in a wash - 295ml - $5.99. 

Please give Erin some love and you can look forward to another contribution from him in a couple of weeks!

Erin is back and this time he was testing a LUSH product for me - I usually give him the super fruity stuff but I figured this time I would give his muscles a treat with the very spicy smelling -

Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar - $9.95 - it's made with warming cinnamon oil and cooling mint and helps make your aches and pains disappear.  I honestly thought that Erin understood what a massage bar was and what he should do with it - fortunately, as I often tell him, it's a good thing he's pretty.  Erin thought he should use it like soap so he did, as he described it to me, he got in the bath and rubbed this sucker generously all over his body and he meant EVERYWHERE.  While cinnamon oil might be a nice relaxing thing to apply to your muscles, there are parts of your body that it shouldn't be introduced to.  So remember kids, massage bars should not go on your, as Erin calls it, your wiener!
On the other hand, I had a lovely experience with Ceridwen's Cauldron Bath Melt - $7.95 - which is a combo of walnut, tangerine, lavender, sandalwood, frankincense and rose.  You let the contents melt into the water and then use the muslin bag full of oats and flowers to exfoliate.  It sounds like a strange mix of scents but it actually smells amazing and was so relaxing that I didn't want to leave the bathtub!

So just remember kids, bath melts are for the bath, massage bars are not!
