I do believe I have covered every products from my V&M haul months ago. Guess you can tell by now that most of the products I bought from V&M are for the face. This soap is actually a repurchase.
Yes, this is another of my favorite soaps from Venus & Mars -- their Royal Pearl. The name reminds me from someone who is Maharlika while taking a bath with crushed pearls. And I would love that! Who doesn't want beautiful skin?

From their Facebook page:
Pearl powder is highly expensive and only a lucky few around the world can only have the privilege to use it. V&M Naturals brings you Royal Pearl, made out of organic emu oil, the finest pearl of South Sea, jojoba beads, olive oil and VCO.
Have a keen eye to products that claim to have this and that. We use real crushed South Sea powder in our newest collection and we did our best to have it here just so we could make as much people (especially Filipinos) experience the benefits of genuine crushed pearls! You’ll see and feel these specially pulverized pearls straight on your skin once you try it.
Royal Pearl Soap
Ingredients: Emu oil, crushed pearls, jojoba beads, olive oil and coconut oil
Trivia:
I've read before that the royalties of the Imperial Palace in China swore by the miraculous rejuvenating effects of pearl powder. The Empress Dowage of Ching Dynasty China was famous for her beauty and her child-like porcelain skin even at the age of 74. Her beauty secret was using pearl powder diligently everyday.
What is so unique about pearls?
Amino acids
It contains about 18 amino acids and over a dozen minerals. Including 10 essential amino acids necessary for the human body to heal and maintain cell nutrition. These essential building blocks of collagen and protein each has a specific function. Deficiency of any one of the key amino acids causes the skin to look coarse, depleted, old, and wrinkled.
Naturally compatible and easily absorbed by the skin. It is naturally compatible and easily absorbed by the skin and body. Proven safe to ingest and apply to skin directly.
Calcium
Real pearl powder is known to contain calcium.
Natural whitener
It is a natural whitener. Imagine a whitening and anti-aging soap without any known skin whitener such as papain, arbutin, calamansi, glutathione, clair blanche. Be ready to see a more vibrant you!

Jojoba spreads well, does not shine, is moist to touch makes the skin softer, smoother and reduces fine-line wrinkles. Jojoba dissolves excess sebum and allows pores to transpire normally.
VNM TIP: Use the beads and pearl essence to scrub your skin. Do this for 5-20 minutes, depending on your mood.

I love the results the first time I used this. It took a while to lather though. My skin looked supple and feels softer. Very gentle. I am not sure about wrinkle-fighting, but if it did, I am glad it helped whatever lines may form remain unseen by the naked eye. The texture overtime of use is a little creamy. I love to let the foam sit on my face a bit longer as I take a shower to reap more of its benefits! It doesn't sting at all nor caused redness or breakouts. I can't tell if it lightened my skin during the time I used it. I do remember my boyfriend complimented me with how my skin looks smooth and glow. (Awww...) After that, I knew I need one of these in my next V&M haul.
Again, you would have known by now that I'd use this as a facial bar cleanser; I'd cut this in pieces to save money because I want this to last forever! However, the third (or fourth?) time I purchased and used this, I noticed it had this other smell. I do not know how to describe it, but I wouldn't say it is THAT terrible or fishy -- but just something funny. It did still smell like melon, but it also smelled something else. (Olfactory Memory) I don't want anyone to think I'm being harsh. I was hoping it was my imagination and ignored this smell for two weeks, but I couldn't take it much longer that I decided to use this for my body. I didn't want to throw it away of course; at least my body had been showered with the benefit of pearls. My body feels soft, clean and moisturized afterwards.
I really don't know what that was, but it is always good to use the soap(s) as soon as it arrived in your doorsteps. Don't let it wait for another week or month. Though I would want to hoard as many products as I can to save shipping and handling fee, Venus & Mars' products do not have expiration dates. You don't know if you are getting the freshest batch in your package, so buy only what you need.
That being said, I still love this soap. I would recommend this to anyone because it will leave your skin supple. This is one of the soaps that helped me get beautiful skin and became a fan ever since.
Purchase it here.
