Haus of Gloi Litchi Milk Tea Review

Haus of Gloi is my favorite indie bath vendor. Alright, I have only tried like two other vendors, but I luckily found Haus of Gloi without much trial and error.

Litchi Milk Tea is one of the first scents I tried and one of my favorites. It is part of the General Catalogue, meaning it is available all year (depending on fluctuations in individual stock).



I have Litchi Milk Tea in the Hair Oil, the Bubbling Scrub, and the Body Emulsion. I'll give a little background on scent, and since it is my first post on Haus of Gloi give an in depth review on the formula and the customer service.

Litchi Milk Tea is described as 'tart lychee fruit and black tea met with a splash of coconut milk.' Pretty straight forward. To me, it smells very tart and fruity. You're immediately hit with the lychee smell and it doesn't fade away. There are little hints of smokiness from the black tea, and creaminess from the coconut milk, but lychee dominates. It isn't a complex scent, but it is bright and uplifting.

The Hair Oil is great. It smells very strong of lychee. I have a mix of curly and wavy thick hair that can easily frizz. I use a few drops of hair oil, concentrating on the ends where my hair is driest. My scalp get oily so i avoid putting any on the top of my head. I use it on damp and dry hair, depending on what my hair needs. The formula is great. It contains a blend of different oils, including coconut oil, argan oil and daikon radish see oil.

The Bubbling Scrub is a soap based miked with sugar granules. It isn't oily like a traditional salt scrub. Instead you rub it on your skin and it bubbles like soap would. I use it as a soap, because I like exfoliating my skin. This is gentle enough for my skin to be used everyday.

The Body Emulsion is your typical lotion consistency. It is thin and absorbs quickly. It provides enough moisture for my skin, but some people who are pretty dry would probably prefer a thicker formula.

Price: 
Hair Oil: $12
Bubbling Scrub: $8
Body Emulsion: $10

Size: 
Hair Oil: 2 oz
Bubbling Scrub: 6 oz
Body Emulsion: 8 oz

Haus of Gloi has delivered great customer service in my past orders. They include these little Korean hard candies and will refund your shipping if you overpaid automatically. As they have increased in popularity, it is difficult to get what you want on Limited Edition Releases, but they are trying to structure it better. I have managed to grabbed everything I wanted, although it does take effort. Sometimes they run out of General Catalog stock, but I usually just wait a month and it comes back.
