Hey guys,
I know it has been a while since I have posted a beauty review and that's because I have been transitioning over to cleaner and more natural beauty so I haven't been testing out a lot of new products in an effort to try to go through my old ones. But I got this scrub as an early birthday gift from my mother a couple of days ago and I wanted to test it out and tell you guys what I think.

The Brand
Mr. Beans is an all natural brand that uses some organic coconut oil and fair trade coffee beans. Their scrubs come in four different flavors including coconut, coco berry (the one I own and that supports breast cancer awareness), mandarin, and a scrub for men. I love the brand and its ingredients, but I don't like the overly sexualized marketing.
The Packaging and The Product
This dry scrub is packaged in a resalable bag made by some type of thick plastic like material. The scrub has a really strong coffee smell that wafts throughout your bathroom when you use it but doesn't linger on your skin after you wash it off. The bag is hard to reseal because the scrub gets stuck in the zipper part.
Usage and Results!
The constancy of the scrub and the packaging make it pretty hard to use this scrub in the shower so I recommend using this on a bath day. Note that this scrub can get everywhere since its dry and loose, but it is very easy to clean up with a wet rag. It does recommend that you let the scrub sit for about 3-5 minutes and the scrub does have a nicely thick consistency that sits on your skin but still washes off easily.
This scrub left my skin really soft and I noticed that the scrubbed skin moisturized more easily than the non scrubbed skin. I am going to continue to use this to try and see if it will really fade my skin marks as it claims. I won't use it more often than once a week and only on problem areas since it is pretty expensive. (it retails for $18 without taxes) I think the scrub will last a while since it dry and it spreads really well wet. In the end I like this scrub and can't wait to see its long term results!!

Well that's all. Let me know down below if you guys have tried this scrub and what you think. Also if you guys have any natural scrubs that you love that are a little less expensive so that I can try it out since I am still looking for an "everyday" scrub for my whole body and shaving! Have a wonderful day :D
