One (Bath and Body) Review

Hi All!  I was at Target earlier this evening to buy lip balm and I ended up purchasing some solid shampoo and solid conditioner by "One."  I have had my eyes on these products for a while but didn't have enough courage to purchase them until today.  I usually try to read reviews online and found that it's hard to find review on products that advertise themselves as eco-friendly or all-natural.  So hopefully this provides insight for anyone who has had their eyes on the same product or brand =). 

One advertises itself as a natural and eco-friendly shower/bath/skincare line.  They are cruelty free, don't use plastics and their packaging are 100% recyclable.

Items:

1.  Solid Shampoo for Oily Hair -One ($7.69)

2.  Solid Conditioner - One ($7.69)

3.  Pink Guava Lip Balm - Lip Smackers ($1.89)

4.  Honeydew Lip Balm - Lip Smackers ($1.89)

 "One" Solid Shampoo for Oily Hair & Solid Conditioner

The solid shampoo worked much better than expected...actually, I think it was excellent.  The box says it is equivalent to a 24oz shampoo bottle.  My sister tried the solid shampoo as well and loved it (she wants one for her apartment now ^_^).  You run the bar through your wet hair 3-4 times and it lathers really nicely.  The fragrance is very light and citrus-herb-like (I'm not sure how else to describe it).  The solid conditioner smells similar to french milled soap.  Using the solid conditioner was a bit strange...I ran it through the ends of my wet hair and rinsed like I normally would with conditioner.  I could not tell if I got any onto my hair or whether it was working.  It doesn't have a slippery feeling like conventional conditioner.  But after my shower it was easy to brush my hair and there were no tangles...so I guess it works. 

 

Both the solid shampoo and conditioner comes in cardboard packaging.  I was surprised at how small the bars were but you really don't use that much with each shower.  They come with a cute little embossed aluminum case with a cover.  The bottom has holes for draining and little feet =).  You can also place the cap on the bottom to catch water if needed.  I can see these being great to bring on trips.

The Lip Smacker lip balms are advertised as 100% natural.  Compared to my Yes To Carrots Lip Balm, they feel more oily but go on very smooth and provide a nice soft sheen (like a very thin layer of lip gloss).  In order of most waxy...I would place Burt's Bee-->Yes to Carrots-->Lip Smackers Natural.  The Pink Guava has a little waxy aftertaste and I wouldn't recommend pushing very hard when you apply.  Unlike Lip Smacker's usual flavors, the scent on the natural lip balms are very light.
