Lucky Tiger

When bad packaging happens to good products

I bought this Lucky Tiger Face Scrub back in 2009 and gave it a great review. So why is it still lurking on my bathroom shelf after all this time? Well the makers of Lucky Tiger took a lot of care making sure the bottle had old-fashioned charm but they stopped short on how practical it would be to get the cleanser out of the bottle. Now this is a foaming gel exfoliator, so it’s not super thick but it’s very difficult to get it out and you can see why below!

See that teeny tiny little hole? This is what the cleanser is supposed to come out of, and this is why it’s been with James and I for two years. While we both love it, the last thing we want to do at 7.00am is alligator wrestle face wash out of a bottle. The only solution would be to take the plastic stopper out, but then one of us (James) would spill it all over the place. Eventually we will finish this, but it will prevent me from buying LT again. It’s such a shame because it’s a lovely refreshing face wash.

Lucky Tiger take note!

Annabella’s Review – Lucky Tiger Face Scrub 150ml

This is available at HQhair!

This is a very concentrated product as in you hardly need any to get a good proper wash. Of course the first time I used it I poured too much in my palm (I think I was too excited to focus) so after subsequent uses I made sure I was more economical with my dollop.

I would class this as a mild scrub as the exfoliating action is quite gentle for everyday use. It has a lovely delicate smell of orange oil so the fragrance is quite ambiguous. If you have oily skin like me then this is perfect to wash the day off especially if you live in a city and feel grimy after work. I’ve used this to wash my face before re-applying makeup to go out in the evening and it does wash all my skin sins away. Lucky Tiger recommends that you use this after cleansing but I think this doubles up as both a cleanser and exfoliator. This face scrub is perfect for those couples who like to use each other’s stuff and looks wicked on the bathroom shelf.
