Mustika Ratu Kopi Body Butter and Body Scrub

Mustika Ratu is one of national beauty product brands which incorporate traditional recipes and culture to the products. Another national brand is Sari Ayu.

I caught these at Keris Gallery Dept Store at Puri Indah Mall. The package came with Kopi Bath Soap but I already used it up. The three of them cost only IDR 98,000. That's a good deal, compare to package from The Body Shop :)

Here are the pictures. I love the smell of the products, and look at the texture of the body butter.... It's like  creme frache that I eat... Yummy.
I apply the body butter after taking the bath. It's absorbed quickly into my skin.

Look at that!

For the soap, the smell is quite nice, only at the beginning of every lather. After a couple of minutes, the smell changes similar to cheap soap (sorry!)...........

Mustika Ratu has several variants for the same products.

My body moisturizer products

What I'm looking in moisturizer products is that non greasy, fast absorbtion to the skin, and not leaving residue or can 't be washed off.
I usuall put on moisturizer after bath, in the morning and evening. That's the time when the skin pores are open and can absorb nutrition applied.


Here are products I'm using for moisturizing my skin:
1. NIVEA UV Protection Lotion
It has white color lotion. This is not my favorite because it's very slow to sink in to my skin, liquid is too thin. And because of that, I feel my skin too wet when I'm sweating and want to apply the lotion.

2. VASELINE Total Moisture
A bit better than Nivea.

3. Afro*scent*ric AFRICAN BEAUTY IN-SHOWER SKIN SOFTENING MOISTURIZER
LOVE this!!!! Has mild baby scent. Contains several types of butters. Non-greasy. Good to apply after shower....

4. Royal body butter from Because I'm The Princes in Mango Milkshake
The butter is heavy, not that fast to absorb, but still OK. Love the scent....
I feel a bit warm everytime I finish applying this.

5. BUBBLETUB Body Parfait in Apple Martini
Has two mixtures in one jar. The Aloe gel soothe the skin. The mousse smells like milk. Very light moisturizer.

6. Moea Body Souffle from Tahitian Noni
has banana aroma and contain macadamia nut oil, noni seed oil, cocoa seed butter and shea butter. It's such an exotic smell.

Bath and Body Products (Because I'm The Princess, BITP)

Last week I really had a big haul. From The All Natural Face packages, Afro*Scent*ric, then Because I'm The Princess (BITP)!.
Kelly packed my stuffs in such cute way (of course, I asked for it, hehe). She included a thank you card too....
I found the shop after I read a review from Nanzy. I love bath and body products, but I need to see more new stuffs, unique stuffs. Kelly has sooo many different scents in her catalog. When I saw "Food and Drink" scent category, I've just gotta click and saw the list.
So far, in my beauty products stash, I have scent of Vanilla and Chocolate. So when I saw lots of choices from BITP, I drooled.
I shopped at her store in Etsy.Com, unfortunately she didn't provide international shipping at Etsy, but I can order through Etsy and she informed me shipment charges to Jakarta, Indonesia. It's easier if you shop at Etsy because of the convo feature which allows you to communicate with the sellers. You can also order through her own website, though. She needs sometimes to create the products as she makes it fresh, turn around time 2-5 business days.

What did I order?

A. 1 - Princess Power Pack, consists of:

1 oz. Aloe Silk Body Mist, scent I chose: Santa's Workshop

1 oz. Royal Protein Hair Mist, scent I chose: Summer Lovin'

5 ml. Royal Roll-On, scent I chose: French Toast

B. 1 - 3 Pack Trial Size Royally Whipped Sugar Scrub

Scent I chose: Mango Milkshake, Pumpkinilla, Santa's Workshop

C. 1 - 2 oz. Royal Body Butta, I chose: Mango Milkshake

D. 2 - Royalty Roll Ons 5 ml. Glass Jojoba Oil Blend

I chose : Erotic Goddess, Sexy As Sin (Karma Sutra), and for free item: Caribbean Calypso. (there was a special offer, buy 2 get 1 free)

Plus..... additional free item, Royalty Roll Ons in Pink Sugar Type.

There are items that have matching scents because it's always better to layer the scent, it will strengthen the scent after application and lasts longer.

What I've tried:

Sugar Scrub (Mango Milkshake): For me, the scrub granules is not mild enough. The positive thing is that, when I applied onto my wet skin, besides melting as it mixed with the water on my skin it changed form and cleaning the skin leaving nice smell.

Body Butta'(Mango Milkshake): With the same scent with sugar scrub, I felt yummy myself :)

The butter is so soft.

Hair Mist (Summer Lovin'): I sprayed on my 4 year old niece. She's lovin' it! The scent is long lasting and so nice, I can't keep myself away from my niece :)

Body Mist: Love it too!
