Review : Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap

Hey guyssss :D!

Trying my best to get back into my normal blogging rhythm, and it's totally time for a review!

I was lucky enough to win another campaign by Kawaii Beauty Japan and Cowstyle, and this time round i got to try out Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap!

I'm not gonna lie, i've been eyeing this body soap ever for the longest time (pretty much ever since i first heard about it long long time ago) but i had too much soaps in my stash and needed to clear them out first before purchasing anything new, luckily i got sent this so i can finally try it out!

Let's see how Bouncia works for me!

Of course, gotta talk packaging first! Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap comes in a big pump bottle made from high quality, sturdy plastic. Although the packaging is simple and generic enough, i am highly attracted to it because of the mouth-watering image of whipped cream! It makes me super interested because i imagine that i can bathe with whipped cream-like lather hahaha. The blue gradation also very pleasing to my eyes!

All of Cowstyle's products are made in Japan (SQUEAL! I thought after going to Japan, i would either love Japan more or not so much, well... The previous happened *LOL*) so top notch quality is to be expected! Prices for Bouncia varies in different stores, but it's around IDR 75.000 (more or less) for 550ml which means it's actually super cheap!

Like most pump bottle soaps, all you need to do is twist the pump to open it, and silly me only recently realize that it can also be sealed back (if hunny didn't show me, i probably would never know :p!) so you can bring it to travel if you want, but who travels with 550ml bottle of soap??? I'd move some into travel bottles, if it's me!

The consistency of Bouncia Body Soap is slightly runny (not as thick as most shower creams) with pearlescent white color.

I prefer to bathe using shower puffs, Bouncia's super easy to lather-just a few quick squeeze on the puff would result in bountiful, dense bubbles like pictured above! Since the lather is very dense and fluffy , it really does feel super creamy and sort of whipped cream like *i loveeeee!* :D and because of Bouncia's dense and bouncy leather particles, it can penetrate skin pores so our skin's always clean and the moisture level is maintained.

Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap is enriched with hyaluronic acid, collagen and milk butter to maintain skin's natural softness and hydration therefore it's very suitable for those with dry skin. I have normal skin and it's totally loving Bouncia-my hunny on the other hand, does have very dry skin made worse by our recent winter trip to Japan (although he loves cold weather, his skin doesn't react well to it!). I am trying my best to help him regain his skin's healthier condition and Bouncia's definitely helping with making sure that our body soap isn't making the dryness worse, but helps to restore his skin's moisture level instead.

Not only that, Bouncia also contains licorice-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate that can help replace dead skin cells.

Another thing that i LOVE about Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap is the scent! It has this classy floral scent (and i'm not the biggest fan of floral scents!) that is very pleasing to my nose (it's not super strong that it bothers your nose, don't worry if you're not a fan of strong scents!). I'm not exaggerating, i always take a deep breath now whenever i shower because i enjoy the scent so much!

Cowstyle Bouncia Body Soap is also available in refill form (retails around IDR 35.000)

For Indonesian, Bouncia can be easily found at Guardian, Papaya, Metro, Watsons, Yogya Super, Setiabudi Super, Grand Lucky, AEON, Ranch Market, Century and Hypermart. Also available online at Sukamart and Nihonmart.

I truly enjoy my experience with Bouncia and i definitely would buy it with my own money. I highly recommend Bouncia for everybody (i personally think it's suitable for the whole family, except for very young children), it has lovely scent, it's kind to one's skin, and it's pocket friendly! I can't think of anyone to whom i wouldn't recommend this body soap, maybe only those who cannot stand scents in their body products?

Review : Cowstyle Milky Body Soap in Mild Soap

bath and body cares

Hello!!!

Been slacking again in product reviews *sigh*, oh well.. You know me and my moods. Anyway, i'm very happy to win another campaign held by Kawaii Beauty Japan and this time round i tots feel lucky that i got to try out Cowstyle's Milky Body Soap :

Cowstyle Milky Body Soap in Mild Soap

I've been eyeing and planning to try out Cowstyle products for a while now, not only because i like to try out various brands (as you might already know by now)-but also Cowstyle is a JAPANESE personal care brand and we all know how obsessed i am with anything Japanese. All of Cowstyle products are made in Japan-and my mantra is : whatever's made in Japan must be GOOD hahaha.

Although Japanese brands' high quality often come with high price tags as well, this Milky Body Soap's actually still quite wallet friendly. I got this product as a gift so i don't really know how much it costs, but after browsing around a bit i come to the conclusion that the price range is around IDR 70.000-80.000 (because different store might sell them in different prices so i cannot pinpoint the exact price) for a bottle with 580ml of products-that's not bad at all, isn't it?

Cowstyle Milky Body Soap comes in four different variants :

The available variants : Mild Soap, Happy Fruity, Relax Floral and Refresh Citrus

And i decided to choose the Mild Soap to try out.

It comes with a normal looking big bottle (also available in refill pouches) made of sturdy, high quality plastic. Mild Soap's bottle's dominated by light blue and white colors, totally embodies the word MILD (IMO)

When it's still brand new, the pump's sealed like this

All you need to do is to twist the pump to the left and pump the desired amount to your hand

The dry, pruny looking palm belongs to my hunny, my own palm's much prettier than that hahaha

The Mild Soap variant has an off white, pearlescent color. The scent is mild and soft, kinda reminded me of another Japanese originated shower gel that i used to use when i was younger so it's kinda nostalgic haha. Not only nostalgic and familiar, the scent is also very relaxing and therapeutic that i left the shower always feeling invirogated and refreshed. I can't really describe the scent well (i never could, actually >.<), but i can say that i can definitely smell some soft milky scent and maybe a hint of floral?

The texture is slightly thinner than most liquid soaps i've used in the past, quite runny but even though it's runny, it can create more bubbles than those thicker liquid soaps!

I only need one pump to create the crazy amount of bubbles that i love so much!

It's super easy to lather, it makes me so happy haha ^^. One thing that stole my attention is the fact that the bubble and lather Milky Body Soap creates are so much denser, creamier and richer than most other shower products i've used before (and trust me, i've tried PLENTY. You can say that i hardly ever use the same brand/variant anymore so i know what i'm talking about), it's a real pleasure to use. You can definitely feel how mild and soft the body soap is when you slather it all over your body!

Even though the bubbles are so thick and creamy, i was surprised when i see them washed out very quickly in my shower's floor. Some brands' lather would take forever to disappear and i read somewhere that bubbles/lather that doesn't disappear for a long time is bad for environment!

Milky Body Soap is definitely able to clean my skin thoroughly without stripping them of their moisture, i'm glad to say that it leaves my skin smooth, supple and hydrated, not squeaky clean or tight at all. No dry patches can be found in my skin ever since i began using this product, and hunny's sensitive, super dry skin is also in tip top condition (of course he is using whatever i am using!). For those of you who hates the filmy residue some moisturizing shower cream leaves on your skin, fret no more! I finally found a body soap that leaves no filmy residue but still manage to keep my skin well hydrated!

It's so hydrating thanks to the three different milk ingredients (so much milky goodness in one product! I just loveee milk on my skin products, they're the best! And the fact that i love milky scent makes this product get another star in my eyes!) : milk ceramide (Sphingomyelin), milk powder (skin milk) and milk protein (Hydrolyzed Casein).

I highly recommend Cowstyle Milky Body Soap to... well, everybody! Haha. You who are looking for a pocket friendly (remember, 580ml-it can last you a very long time, maybe up to three months if you're using it alone?), mild, effective body soap that can help you maintain a soft, silky skin. The Mild Soap variant in particular i'd recommend to those of you who have sensitive nose and can't stand strong scents, or if you don't want your shower products to interfere with your perfume (this is important for me since strong scented shower products and clash with my perfume of the day!).

I would definitely purchase this with my own money! And yes, i would purchase them in the future because i'd love to try out the other variants!
