Sliquid Rejuvenation

For today's review, I'll be looking at Rejuvenation by Sliquid. Click either image to see an enlarged version!

Close up:

This is one of Sliquid's sensual massage oils- it also comes in french vanilla, coconut lime verbena, and unscented. Rejuvenation has a mandarin basil scent, which is fantastic and sweet, yet not over powering. The oil is rather thin, and has a nice glide when massaging. It wasn't sticky, and left skin feeling soft. I find it particularly fantastic for external genital massage. You don't want to use it vaginally as oils can mess with one's pH balance and lead to bacteria growth, nor do you want to use it anally as the oil would cling onto bacteria that's intended to leave the body.

Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Mango & Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Certified Organics Extracts of Flax, Green Tea, Hibiscus & Aloe Barbadensis, Natural Essence of Mandarin, and Natural Essence of Basil

So anyone with nut allergies will unfortunately need to get another massage oil. As you can see though, there are no parabens or glycerin in this product; it's also vegan. My favorite use for this oil was as aftercare to a scene, especially one with wax play. It's also fun to use in the shower as it won't come off unless scrubbed with soap. Though it does leave a lingering scent, it's not that strong and would not work so make you smell like the oil for an extended period of time. It is lovely for a relaxing massage though, or as a bit of foreplay exploration. This product may stain fabrics though, as it's an oil. It's also inadvisable to use with any latex products you want to keep, as the latex will be destroyed.

Once again, Sliquid's flip-top is the worst thing about their product. At least with Sliquid lubes they're thicker and tend not to spill down the sides- not so with their massage oil. The outside of the container became slick rather quickly, and it's well worth transferring the oil to a pump bottle.

Grade Breakdown: 86

Value: 4/5
If I didn't own this, I would have bought it for $14.

Aesthetics: 17/20
Eh, I like Sliquid's blue bottle better.

Reusability: 10/20
The flip top is really awful.
Best Functionality: 50/50
As aftercare after genital wax play.

Thank you Sliquid!

Massage Gel: Havana Nights

For today's review I'll be looking at Heart's Desire Massage Gel by Classic Erotica in the Havana Nights scent. Click any image to see the full version.

Box:

On skin:

This gel melts upon contact and turns into a slightly gritty oil. When I first smelt the oil, it smelled dark, lovely, and with a soft floral scent. Unfortunately my massage partner mentioned it smelled like play-doh, and I wasn't able to get that recognition out of my head. Texture-wise it's mostly smooth with a little grittiness. My partner really enjoyed this as the sensations evoked would slightly change at random. As the masseuse, in the beginning I didn't quite like the slight grittiness and I felt like there was something I wanted off my hands. However, the oil absorbed into their skin over time, which made the skin extremely soft and lovely to massage. Before that, the slipperiness lasted for about twenty minutes, though that was using quite a bit of gel. The grittiness can also be avoided by not using a ton of gel at once, so you only texturally have oil. All in all, both my partner and I enjoyed this massage oil. Apparently there are pheromones in this, though neither of us felt like our libido received an extra kick. Regardless, I would recommend this just as a softening oil. 

After use, there is a slightly oily feeling, though this can be easily washed off with soap and water. Should you have an allergic reaction, discontinue use.

The plastic container it comes in has a tight seal, but can be a little messy since the gel melts on contact. Due to the ingredient list, I would not recommend putting this product in any orifices or using it with latex condoms.

Ingredients: Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, C-12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, 2-Octyl Dodecanol, Dibutyl Lauroyl Glutamide, Dibutyl Ethylhexanoyl Glutamide, Dextrin Palmitate, Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia Nut) Seed Oil, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) Acetate, Copulandrone (Parfum), Copuline-alike (Parfum), Reconstituted Andronone (Parfum), Fragrance (Parfum)

Grade Breakdown: 87 

Value: 4/5 
At Eden Fantasys for just under $13 
I do wish the container was a little nicer,
but it's still worth buying.

Aesthetics: 11/20 
I also didn't really like the look of the container. 

Pleasure: 72/75 
Intended Functionality: 4/5 
Pheromones weren't detected.
Reusability: 19/20 
Don't need to use that much, 
a single jar (3.2oz) will probably last a while.
Messy to remove. 
Best Functionality: 49/50 
The gritty factor when trying to use enough oil for someone's back.   

Thank you Eden Fantasys!
