Haus of Gloi Valentine's Collection is out now - a couple of the Pumpkin Butters have already sold out, but should be restocked quite quickly.
I liked Come Hither in the Pumpkin Butter last year - my review is here: Haus of Gloi Come Hither review. This has been slightly reformulated this year without the cardamom. I quite liked the spicy undertone, so I'm interested to see how it smells without it.
I also ended up buying and liking Who Needs Love in the Bubbling Scrub last year - the combination of fruity sweetness with the dark chocolate/coffee blend worked well in the scrub.
New scents this year are:
Odette - sun dried linens, tuberose, white ginger and musk - this will probably be a pass for me; tuberose and sandalwood are my fragrance kryptonites. The notes of this make me think it'd be something like Milkmaid from last spring crossed with Narcosa from last summer, so if you liked either of those, this may be worth trying.
Spring Tonic 1 - lemon, lime, parsley and dandelion greens.
Spring Tonic 2 - cucumber, parsley and dandelion greens.
The Spring Tonic scents sound like the best substitutes for Something Hopeful from last year that sadly doesn't seem to have made the cut this year (Something Hopeful was a sakura/green tea/jasmine blend.)

I love cucumber in tonic it just seems to refresh my skin so well - especially at the moment its so dry!!!
ReplyDeleteI like tuberose and sandalwood so this seems appealing to me. Im afraid of buying smelly things online though just in case I dont like them.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to try a lot of Haus of Gloi products but I'm a often put of by the fact that I can't smell them in person - as I'm really realy picky with scents.
ReplyDeleteBut I love the blend of Who Needs Love products & am seriously contemplating buying all the product of that fragrance.
But I was just wondering what the price is like for shipping to the UK? & how long does it typically take your orders to arrive? I mean most things I like on US sites have ridiculous shipping prices & I couldn't find anything HoG site about international shipping.
Hi - well, the shipping is quite expensive compared to the cost of the products due to the weight of the products. I believe it's calculated from the USPS website, and the cost for shipping a full size bubbling scrub and pumpkin butter first class international is $13. I look at the overall cost of product and shipping combined and decide if I'm happy to pay that. You can fill a basket and then calculate the shipping for it without committing to buying anything.
DeleteIt usually takes 1-2 weeks for me to get an order.
If you are looking for a good indie bath/body seller based in the UK, I'd recommend Future Primitive Soap Co.
