Lathering Up with Eco-Truffles Bath & Body

Today I'm presenting another wonderful local company with products made in Trinidad with love. I saw a few of their ads on Facebook but meeting them one on one at the Eastern Market was indeed a pleasure and the start of my journey with their amazing products. 


Turneem Facial Cleanser
  • The name of the cleanser merges the two main ingredients of turmeric and neem.
  • Lathers well.
  • Usually three or four pumps of cleanser is enough to properly cleanse your entire face. 
  • The cleanser is gentle to the skin. I experienced no allergic reaction to it. Note: I have normal to combination skin. 
  • Skin feels clean and appears brighter after use. I had a few small dark spots and after continued use of just this cleanser I feel like they appeared lighter in appearance. 
  • The cleanser does not dry out the skin. I was previously using Clean and Clear which made my facial skin feel dry and tight whilst the turneem cleansed with a fresh feeling. 
  • My niece who is a teenager at this time also used for her acne prone skin and experienced no adverse reactions. She did indicate a brightening of the skin after a few uses. 


Handmade Soaps
  • The Vanilla Sandalwood is quite a large soap (about 6 oz). I decided to cut it into two smaller pieces with a simply kitchen knife. The cutting was quite easy and I got a clean cut with no breakage at the edges that were being cut. The soap is firm but soft enough to cut. 
  • The soap has a woody scent representative of the sandalwood. While it was a pleasant scent I feel this maybe a scent that is more appealing to men. 
  • It lathers well and does not leave a dry feeling to the skin after use. 


  • The Citrus Spice soap is also a large soap at 6 oz. It's shaped like a slice of cake since it is formed with a large round mound. 
  • It smells just like the name implies with hints of the spices and citrus. This was quite a wonderful scent to me. Actually the scent is strong enough to make my bedroom where I stored it (after opening the packaging) to be permeated with the scents of citrus and spices.
  • This soap was double sealed with clear wrapping. 
  • The soap in its form before use feels a bit soft in texture. It was softer than the Vanilla Sandalwood soap.
  • It lathers quite well in the bath but it melted quite easily so I had to store in a dry place. 

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed these three products tested and I'm looking forward to trying more out of their wide range of items. Support this local entrepreneur by visiting their Website.

I Found You NYX Cosmetics

He thought he could hide from me forever, but boy was he mistaken! The mighty NYX cosmetics booth that was hiding in Long Circular Mall, Trinidad got trapped by a skillful makeup addict! Me!!!! How could he have avoided me for almost 2 years? Being a northeast girl means venturing into POS and environs is only when I really have to. I hadn’t visited this Mall in about 2 years which was the timeframe given to me as to how long this booth has been in the mall. 
Now give me some great customer service will you! Yes please and yes that is what I got here! In addition, you don’t have to wait 6 months before recently launched items from NYX cosmetics are available. These people have it down when it comes to ensuring all the new and existing items are there for you! Everything I asked for was available to me to buy! And Yes I got some goodies! How could I not? I have been in a blush craze lately so why not try my first blush from NYX, Desert Rose. The new xtreme lip creams were available so I…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
