Queen's Temple Handmade Artisan Soaps Part #2

   Hi everyone! So as promised I am back with part #2 of of the products I reviewed from my previous entry. This part will focus on Queen's Temple hair products. I wanted to do it in two seperate posts because I didn't want the first review to be so long. But I also sometimes like to use products a couple of times before I review to give my true honest opinion. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries or uses for me to determine wether it's a good product or not. So lets begin.

   So first I am going to start with Queen's Temple "No More Itch Antibacterial, Antimicrobial, Antifungal Dandruff Shampoo. Now to be honest I have not had any itch or dandruff since becoming natural. When I used to relax my hair I always had bad dandruff and my hair itched bad. So I really can't speak on those aspects of the product. My daughter on the other hand is always scratching at her head but doesn't have dandruff. I wish I thought of it sooner but I just washed her hair tonight with this shampoo to see if it helps her. I will update this post at the top on Friday to let you know how it went. Anyway, I really liked the scent it had a kind of a peppermint smell to me which I liked. It gave a pretty good lather and left my hair squeaky clean. I do have to say it was a bit drying though. I like for my Shampoo's to leave my hair soft and moisturized. This shampoo is Alcohol, Paraben and Sulfate free. The Ingredients listed are Indian Lilac Powder, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Coconut Oil, Bergamot e/o, Lavendor e/o and Fragrance blend. The No More itch Shampoo comes in a 8 oz bottle but unfortunately It's not listed on her Etsy so I can't tell you the price. Overall I think it's a good Shampoo for when I would do my once monthly Shampoo (I co-wash mostly). But I can't speak on the itch and dandruff yet because I don't have that problem. I will update you with my daughter's progress though.

   Up next is Queen's Temple "Intense Honey-Banana- Coconut Milk Deep Conditioning Treatment." That was a mouthful! LOL! So I really Love the scent of this deep conditioner and couldn't wait to try it out. Smells like a sweet banana dessert. I expected it to be a thick rich conditioner but it was thin. It applied nicely and I sat under the dryer with a plastic cap for about a half hour. I really had high hopes for it but it really didn't leave my hair moisturized at all. It was kinda dry. I think that had it been a thicker conditioner it may have done the trick. The conditioner is Alcohol and Sulfate free. The ingredients listed are Coconut Milk, Banana, Shea Butter, Raw Honey, Jojoba Oil Argan Oil, Clove e/o, Rosemary, Black Seed Oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil. This one also comes in an 8 oz bottle but I can't find the price. Overall I think if this came in a thick cream it may be a really good deep conditioner.

   And lastly is Queen's Temple Moisturizing Scalp and Growth Honey. I really really like this product. It comes as a thick cream or butter and melts from the warmth of your hand to massage into your scalp. It is very moisturizing to the scalp. It smells like honey and herbs. I have been using it for the last two weeks for my scalp massages. This product is Alcohol free. The Ingredients listed are Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Bergamot e/o, Lavender e/o, Rosemary e/o, Tea Tree e/o, Sage e/o,  Sweet Almond Oil,  Grapeseed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Coconut Oil, and Fragrance blend. The price listed is $15 for 8oz. As I said I really like this Moisturizing Scalp Oil. The smell is nice and it's not overly greasy. I'm hoping I will see some nice growth with long time use of it.

  I hope you enjoyed part #2 of the Queen's Temple products. I will be sure to leave the link for her Etsy shop below.

Queen's Temple Handmade Artisan Soaps Part #1

   Hi! Sorry it's been a while, between work and my kids constantly getting sick I have been M.I.A. But luckily we are on Spring break so I can get caught up on some reviews.

   So this week I will be telling you about some bath, body and hair products I have been reviewing. About two weeks ago I received a nice assortment of products from Queen's Temple Handmade Artisan Soaps. As you can see I was sent a lot of products to review so I will be just reviewing the body products and will follow up with the hair procucts at a later time. So let's get started.

   So first I wanted to start with Queen's Temple Organic 100% Pure Castille Soap Body Wash "Fresh Clean Scent." I liked the scent of this but I couldn't help but think of  it as laundry detergent. It just had that smell of fresh laundry to me for some reason. It's not a bad smell just not a scent I would expect for a body wash. The body wash is not thick like other body washes either, it has a bit of a looser texture. But that's not a bad thing either. On the bottle it says it is a rich lather wash, but I would say it gives a good lather but not really rich. It kind of reminds me of a sulfate free Shampoo. It gave just enough lather to not dry out your skin. The ingredients listed for the wash are; water, pottasium oleate, potassium cocoate, glycerin, potassium citrate, potassium palm and kernal acid. It is also sulfate free, paraben free and not tested on animals. This product comes in a 8 oz bottle but unfortunately I couldn't find the price. I liked that the Castille Soap Body Wash left me smelling fresh and clean with soft skin. But I don't think it is something I would use much because it reminds me of laundry detergent. But this body wash can be made without the scent.

   Next up is Queen's Temple "Honey Butter Cream" face and body bar. I have to say I Love this product. First the smell is so sweet my whole bathroom smells like sweet honey. You'll have no need for a air freshener at all. I have used this soap for both my face and body. As a face bar it left my face soft and did not dry my face out at all. As a body bar I felt the exact same way. It gives a pretty good lather and leaves you smelling like Honey. The ingredients in the Honey Butter Bar are coconut oil, palm oil, safflower oil, kosher glycerin, goat's milk, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, sorbitan oleate, soy bean protein and titanium dioxide. And contains ground oatmeal, raw shea butter, raw honey and a propriety blend of fragrance oils. So if you haven't figured it out yet I really Love this face and body bar. I use it everyday on my face. The Honey Butter Cream bar comes in a 4.5 oz bar for $6.00 each or 4 for $20. I definitely recommend giving this one a try.

   Next is Queen's Temple Shea & Oatmeal bar. This bar can be used for body, face and shaving. For shaving it can be used for both men and women. I figured since I was getting a little prickly I would soak in a nice warm bath and try this bar out. It gave a nice protective lather perfect for shaving. Didn't leave me with razer burn but left me with soft silky legs. I Love the scent of this bar as well. They all have a sweet creamy honey fragrance. I think this bar would work great to give a nice close shave for men as well. The ingredients listed for the Shea and Oatmeal bar are coconut oil, palm oil, safflower, kosher glycerin, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, sorbitan oleate, soy bean protein and titanium dioxide. It also contains raw shea butter, raw honey and proprietary blend of fragrance oils. This bar comes in a 4.5 oz bar for $6.00. So if you love multi-use products like me the Shea & Oatmeal bar is a winner.

   Next is Queen's Temple Skin Soothing Loofa and Oatmeal Sugar Scrub. Another lovely sweet smelling product. Sorry about the picture, some of the label washed off while using. Anyway I liked this sugar scrub a lot. It helped get rid of a lot of dead skin on my legs and feet. My skin was super soft and super moisturized. Besides the ground up Loofa, Oatmeal and Sugar it contains an assortment of moisturizing oils. My skin was so soft and moisturized after using this I did not need to use lotion at all. The indredients listed in the scrub are; pure cane sugar, coconut oil, essential oils, loofa scrub, ground oatmeal, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, apricot kernal oil and sweet almond oil. This sugar scrub comes in a nice sized 16 oz jar for $15. I think the loofa scrub was a great added touch, it really helped to get rid of a lot of dead skin. Great for getting your legs and feet Spring and Summer ready.

  Now lastly are Queen's Temple "Turmeric and Bentonite Clay Clarifying Mask" on the left and "Blemish and Blackhead Scrub" on the right. I'll start with the Tumeric and Bentonite Mask. I thought the Tumeric in this mask would be pretty interesting. What I liked about it is that it went on smooth and didn't take long to dry. It also didn't give me the itchy skin crawling uncomfortable feeling other masks give. It also had a spicy scent I'm assumimg from the Tumeric. It did leave my face looking bright and clear but other than that I didn't really notice anything. I always feel that way with facial masks though. They are fun to do but I never notice any real dramatic difference in my appearance. The ingredients listed are aloe vera gel, bentonite clay, tumeric powder, raw honey and tea tree oil. I do love that all the ingredients are natural and have amazing cleansing properties that are great for the skin. Overall I think it is a good mask that's good for your skin. The mask comes in a 8 oz  jar for $15.
   Next is Queen's Temple "Blemish and Blackhead Scrub Honey-Lemon-Sea Salt." I liked how well this scrub exfoliated my face. I don't have blackheads on my face but I do have noticeable clogged pores. I think it helped get the gunk out really well. This scrub has a lemon honey fragrance which I love. So the only thing I really wish was different about this scrub is I think it should be made with sugar instead of salt. I can imagine maybe not doing a thorough job rinsing and accidentally getting a little salt in the eye. Ouch! I'm also just used to alot of face scrubs made with sugar. Other than that though I like it. The ingredients listed for this scrub are; fine grain sea salt, organic fresh squeezed lemon juice, organic raw honey, tea tree essential oil and poppyseeds. This scrub is good for blemishes, blackheads and oily skin etc.
This face scrub comes in a 8 oz jar for $12.

   So this concludes part #1 of my review on Queen's Temple Handmade Artisan Soaps. I will try my best to have #2 with the rest products reviewed shortly. Overall I think Queen's Temple has some pretty good products. I Love how fragrant everything is my bathroom smells amazing.
