Mad about Sue!

October 24, 2008

I'm so excited to review yet another in the long line of sugar scrubs that I've fallen in lust with. Today I'll be talking about Mad City Sue.

From her site..."I have been making and selling bath and body products since 2002. All products are made in small batches to ensure freshness. Since my products are all made to order, certain scents may need a little time to fully cure in the products. Many scents need about a week or so to fully blossom so I recommend waiting a few days (I know it is hard!) before judging a scent."

Mad City Sue Sugar Scrub

I received several different sugar scrubs but I'm going to be focusing on her Pixie Sugar Creamy and Moisturizing Whipped Sugar Body Scrub.

This scent was beyond delicious and immediately transported me to my younger years when I used to walk down to local corner market and get candy by the handful. Among these were the ever popular Pixie Sticks (basically flavored sugar in a long tube) and Fun Dips (sugar "sticks" that you lick and then dip into the attached flavored sugar packets). This scrub smells just like a combo of those two cavity causing candies. Yum!

The Pixie Whipped Sugar Scrub needed no cure time - it was amazing the day I got it and remained amazing until I used it up 5 days later. I simply couldn't help myself... I was like a druggie every morning, looking for my daily scrub fix. And let me tell you, going cold turkey has been tough!

This non-greasy, soft scrub is easily scooped from the jar and provides a gentle non-foaming exfoliation. Definitely won't sand your outer layer of skin off as some other, uh, more "robust" scrubs tend to do. But this delight doesn't just exfoliate - it also moisturizes. While it's not greasy, you can feel the slip of the skin-loving oils it's made with and once rinsed off, it leaves your skin feeling baby soft and smooth. Ooooh. Nice!

But by far the best benefit of this scrub was the lingering scent. I was able to get a whiff of pixie sticks for the remainder of the day. Mmmm.

This scrub definitely gets two thumbs way up. Great scent, great moisturization, gentle exfoliation. Just super duper yum. Get Mad today!
