Been a long time since I've ordered e-tailer goodies - I just have so much I needed to slow down! But I couldn't resist a small sample order from Coconut Hut, plus I was out of my beloved Island Coconut shea creme. Here's what I got, all in the Polynesian Poi-fection shea creme:
Banana Mango Smoothie - I've been wanting a good banana scent for a while. Previously I had no interest in it, but for some reason last summer I decided I wanted to smell like a delicious banana coconut drink. This is delicious in the jar, but I seem to have misplaced the sample and can't try it on! If I find it I'll update this entry.
Coconut Goddess - This is a blend of Beach Goddess and Coconut Milk. Unfortunately this just went musty on me. I also didn't think it was that great in the container - other coconut scents like Diamond Coconut, Virgin Coconut and Island Coconut are superior.
Frozen Pineapple Crush - I smell a nice combination of pineapple and lime, heavier on the lime. While it wasn't great on my skin in this formula, I could definitely see this working better in a perfume.
Mango Colada - I was hoping for a pina colada scent with a touch of mango. Instead I got a generic fruity scent with a very faint touch of coconut. It was even worse on my skin.
On Cloud Lime - Love this! Delicious blend of coconut and very tart lime. The coconut really balances it out nicely. I'd love this in a perfume in addition to a moisturizer.
Tangerine Coco Smoothie - I didn't like this in the jar or on me. Sickly sweet and generally just off.
I also went digging around my closet in an effort to declutter and came across some random CH samples that had accumulated.
Cabana Boy (souffle) - I'd describe this as barely there banana. In the jar it's like it can't decide whether it wants to be fruity or a regular banana scent - the notes are fighting rather than harmonizing. On my skin it was a very faint, not-so-exciting banana scent. If you want a good yummy tropical banana scent check out the aforementioned Banana Mango Smoothie.
Fuzzy Blue Bunny (shea creme) - This was just way too juvenile for me, and this is coming from someone who loves to smell like chocolate or strawberries or some other equally child-like scent! It smells exactly like Bubblicious gum, very fake and artificial. Just not for me. I do think that if you have little ones they would love this.
Hawaiian Luau (souffle) - In the jar this is a nice basic fruity scent. It didn't really wow me though. Oddly enough it didn't turn on my skin. It's one of those scents that may be better layered with the perfume as well as the moisturizer.
Kauai Splash Cooler (shea creme) - Eh. Not great in the jar and certainly not good on my skin. Another generic fruity scent.
Mango White Grapefruit (shea creme) - I wanted to love this but on my skin it went musty! In the jar it's a lovely mix of mango and grapefruit. The grapefruit is nice and tart but muted by the sweetness of the mango.
